Have you heard about the Cruise To Cash program and are you wondering if it is a scam or not? This article will give you an unbiased look at the company and the opportunity.

The Company

The travel industry is a 7 billion dollar per year industry. Global Abundance Programs (G.A.P.) is the latest company to try to earn a piece of those profits. They launched Cruise To Cash in October 2007 hoping to do just that.

Cost To Join

There are two levels that you can join at to become a Cruise To Cash member.

* Weekender Package - $477

* Cruiser Package - $977

The Weekender Package includes unlimited weekend getaways to several destinations. These getaways are generally for 3 days and 2 nights.

The Cruiser Package includes all of the Weekender Package, plus you get unlimited access to vacations like an 8 day, 7 night condo stay at over 700 locations worldwide.

The other costs involved with the packages are room tax and an activation fee or "redemption fee" that usually is around $50 per stay.

Compensation Plan

What everyone really wants to know no matter what program they join is how the compensation plan works. When it comes right down to it, the products in a program need to be good and have value, but what you really want is to be able to make some real money.

So how does the comp plan work? Cruise To Cash is actually a modified 2up plan. You earn split commissions of $238.50 or $488.50 on your first 2 product sales and $238.50 or $488.50 from the first 2 product sales generated by your personally enrolled members. From your 3rd personal sale on, you get paid 100% commissions of $477 or $977.

In order to stay active with the program, Cruise To Cash members must pay a monthly fee of either $39.95 or $59.95 depending on which package they come in at. The sponsor earns $10 or $20 of that based on which program the member joins at, with the rest going to the company.

Conclusion

While Cruise To Cash is not a scam, it does have a flawed compensation plan. With any 2up plan, once the member is fully qualified and breaks away from their sponsor, the sponsor no longer earns any commissions off of that member. That presents a great challenge as the sponsor no longer has any reason to train and assist their member in making sales. This forms a lack of team synergy and cohesiveness.
