Sans admin charges, that are paid straight to Gauthier (proper), Appi Funds returns work out to 300%.

Appi Even Up Day by day Pay is a paywall gated bonus tied to recruitment.

Appi VIP is a monthly-fee pyramid scheme.

That’s actually all there’s to the enterprise mannequin.

Gauthier values connected rubbish to charges paid at as much as $4997. What that’s based mostly on who is aware of nevertheless it’s finally irrelevant.

You’ll be able to’t legitimize a pyramid and Ponzi schemes by bundling merchandise and/or providers to charges paid or funds invested.

As with the earlier two Appi Travels fashions, as soon as affiliate recruitment dies down so too will new funds.

Every of Appi Travels’ compensation plans requires fixed recruitment to proceed, failing which they collapse.
