Team National / Bign.com

I have been with Team National for 2 years and have saved over $8600 on every day things, I am not a big shopper. Nothing about this awesome company has been anything but the truth. Their ethics are top notch and our leaders at corporate even go to Washington DC to help create stronger laws against pyramid schemes, which by the way are illegal in all states. A business doesn't stay a float for 21 years if they aren't doing things properly. Ill go out on a limb and say the original poster either expected checks to fall out of the sky if they worked the business... its called WORK for a reason or they expect the savings to just happen without any effort. The savings is no different than a gym membership. If you pay the fee you need to actually use it. Team National has been life changing for me and my family and I will always defend them.

My husband and I joined Team National March, 2016. It is a very easy concept but only for certain people. We were ready to run with it but the person whom signed us up turned out to be a ego tripped deputy. I have a steady full time job so it was going to be my husband who worked Team National as he is in construction and would have a better chance regarding time to work it. We both agreed to this so that he could walk away from his job first as he was getting older and it was getting harder for him to continue. (I will bypass some due to being very lengthy) but we advised him that we would work it on a part time basis as we have a busy life with our jobs and family. This guy would not stop calling, texting, etc. I noticed my husband's attitude starting to change to where he was becoming depressed. One night, after a meeting, we had some people interested which brought my husband's attitude up. This [censored] of a deputy called and I noticed my husband's demeanor change. I had it placed on speaker so that I could hear what he was saying. Everything was negative, calling my husband a failure, that he was going to fail, and much much more. I kept mouthing to my husband to please let me say something but he wanted me to hear the whole thing. When we got off of the phone I told him that I never knew him to let someone speak to him like that. He normally tears into anyone like that. The next day he did. He went off so bad that we thought maybe corporate or upline had a talk with this guy as he started being very nice and helpful. So, we gave him another chance after it was sat aside for a couple of months. We did save our money back as since we were Team National members we bought a new car which the dealer sold it for $300 under invoice which was $6800 off not counting what we put down on it. We have also saved through the shopping about $50 per month and have made a little money with them as well. Well, they [censored] started doing his tricks again. Again amongst things in between that I found out, my cousin called from Arkansas and asked me about the company. Apparently, the [censored] phished through my facebook with what was apparently making it look like an add for needing to hire for a cruise liner. She called about the job and that is when he went through the pitch with her. She said he advised her that we knew all about it and were ok with it. He never mention anything about her to us. I asked her how did he set up the meeting and she advised through instant messaging and then got her phone number. The only reason she met with him was that he threw us in the conversation so she trusted that. I about lost it. This was out of my husband's hands as this was my family. Again, much more to tell about this, I went off on this guy and reported it to corporate on the ethics part of it. It was a 3 or 4 page report. I listed everything which was a lot more than what I listed here. We laid it down for a few more months just to get our thoughts together and decided that we were not going to spend that much money and just let it sit. We picked it up and won the free cruise and are moving with it. I have to say we are doing without this idiot anywhere near us. Us and our family and whomever signs up with us we all block him, which he had 3 facebook pages, and his wife since we know he would go through hers as well. This is real people. This is not a pyramid as a pyramid has 3 corners and as you keep adding to a pyramid only the people at top make the money. Team National is unlimited depth which it counts for everyone equally above. We have decided, this is how we are doing it as well, that we consider the people with us are a team and we all help each other in our team. Our team all work together even if it is to help one another and it is working great for all of us. I never thought my husband would be the one to pick up on something like this but I am glad he did. You will have 1 bad person out of a 100 and we did get that one person. We have filed our complaint and he is out of our life. He is in our upline but only on 1 side. It has been so pleasant working with everyone else. The great people we have met is amazing. You will have people out there whom are greedy and only out for themselves, the [censored], but 99% of the people are there to help you with whatever you need. The earnings are huge. I am also a member of Ebates and if I see the return is higher with them, then I will use them, but you cannot earn a residual income with them. The earnings are huge and the savings are real. As I have stated, we have had our issues for the past year but we are working through those and our team is one big family. Would love to talk about it if you would like more information.

Many people pay a membership fee to shop on Amazon Prime, Sam's Club, Costco...why not pay a membership fee to shop in over 250 places? The fee also includes your kids, grandkids grandparents, and parents. Over a lifetime of all of those shopping, it will save you much more than Amazon's $99/year. How is that a bad deal? Including diapers and formula...everything else. Who wants to find coupon's for everything in your life? Why not TN for all of your shopping needs?

Not a Pyramid Scheme, Pyramid Schemes are illegal and Team National has been around since 1997 its a Billion Dollar Company who just lets their members reap massive benefits for recruiting instead of paying for advertising.. To put this in prespective you do not have to do the business side at all... That is a perk to being a member if you happen to share you can get paid after awhile or run with it and make lots of money... A pyramid Scheme you have to work the business which is not giving people anything but a loss of money... Team National is a Benefit Package and if you choose not to use it then that is on you.. Just like if you buy a Sams Club or Gym Membership and never use it then you are wasting your money... It does cost $2195 one time fee for 5 Generations of your family use making or saving money. I bought in for $2195 and I have 10 people using that $2195 membership. Everyone of them is saving over $200 a year on their cellphones that is $2000 for the year right there, , , , I have saved over $13000 in a years time...My daughter saved $3700 on her car she got it at Cost.. My mother saves 35% on her contacts and $3000 on her health insurance. My other son saved 35% using Sears Commercial on his paint to repaint his house everyone is using this membership and business...I have won 2 Cruises FREE for Two that paid for my membership and you can win 2 of these a year in the business side... If there wasn't a business side I would still love Team National it has helped me in so many ways keep more money in my pocket.. If you buy a membership for a Dollar and dont use it then you have wasted a dollar.. But if you use it can multiply a million times over ..I Love Team National because I actually use Team National...Try it don't waste it...Only difference in this and Sams Club you get much bigger savings on bigger services and Items it all adds up quicker than you think...

Of course Team National is a scam. There are NO real savings. The funniest part is the affiliate savings with big name companies. Folks, those are available to ANYONE. Macy's doesn't care if you are with TN or not. If you drive web traffic to them they will pay a very small commission. Oyy.

Lets get to the meat of this scammy MLM. 94% of affiliates earned less than $1300 in Gross revenue in 2015. That's Gross not net by the way. The real tell is that 0.03% earned over 70k in gross revenue in 2015. That is miniscule. Even if you made the 70k, after your expenses you are probably at 40-50k gross. The reality is you will earn nothing and quite this nonsense in 2 years.

Scammy MLM buyers club, AVOID!

Ok...so I started dating this guy who is an IMD with Team National. He talked about it constantly so I investigated...hence me on this site. When he told me about it, I said "oh that's a pyramid scheme". He went on about his day shrugging it off. Over the months of us dating and his pursuit to get me on board I tuned in to his conference calls every Monday, listened to countless cds, watched him go to conferences and on and on. So during my "investigation" I asked for access to his Team National site because I wanted to do some shopping and to see exactly what I would be saving if I signed up. He doesn't know I have done all of this leg work trying to uncover the "catch". Here's what I have uncovered as a skeptic:
1. The ONLY portion of this that appears to be a pyramid scheme is the fact you can make money off of selling the membership to other people.
2. Team National offers TWO types of membership, one if you want to refer others (2 year or lifetime) and make money and one just for the savings portion.
3. The savings are real. I actually ordered furniture thru Macy's and he received a $49 rebate. They offer a manufaturer direct site link to order as well. The EXACT leather sectional sofa my girlfriend purchased at Ashley Furniture for $2200 was on the factory direct side for $900 and some change.
4. They have over 500 stores to shop and save on. Are you going to get boookkuuu checks from savings...probably not, but I'm buying the stuff anyways, so why not? You can also use coupons.
5. The company has a lot of perks if you are willing to refer and sell the membership.
6. This seems to be a family oriented company where everyone works together.
7. There is a lot of money that can be made, but it is a "sales" business. You would be selling "savings".
8. The Healthcare savings alone are worth the membership.
9. Theyou offer car amd home insurance savings through Met Life
10. Example of stores included in the marketplace for rebates are Walmart, Target, New York & Company, Belk, Macy's, Dollar General, Best Buy, Forever 21..these are just a few.
My unbiased opinion:
If you want to recoup the money spent on your lifetime membership, you will most likely have to work the business but it will be worth the savings in the long run. This is a great membership for a small business owner not only for the savings but Team National places your company on their site FOR FREE. The members try shop in network from what I can tell. FREE ADVERTISING, it pays for itself, no brainer. If you decide to work the business, the company offers tons of support IN PERSON. In the end I feel Team National should offer a different approach because initially one would think this is a pyramid, as did I. However, after hours on end listening and researching, my opinion changed. You can't fully explain that in a 30 minute meeting wit h a Team National rep trying to sell you a membership. Do your own research, most people expect a get rich quick and TN is quick to say, this is a BUSINESS THAT TAKES WORK! Or, they had a bad rep who didn't explain it's entirety. This is my unbiased opinion because I AM NOT a member of Team National because I am not good with talking to people, it's just not me. Like I said before, this is a sales job!

I have saved over $11000 (eleven THOUSAND) with this membership. No respectable company would lock arms with a business if they even remotely thought that is was a fraud. Coldwell Banker, Att, Sprint, Sears, Metlife, and many other HUGE names have locked arms with Team NATIONAL to provide savings to the Americans. My husband and I both tried to talk furniture stores and car dealerships down to what TN discount offers to no avail. It doesn't happen! If you want to save a little, join ebates or big crumbs, no biggie! But if you want DEEP discounts, go TN! Team National has an A+ with the BBB, member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the CEO heads the ethics committee on the DSA. I chose to share this concept with others and have retired doing so. Now, if Google is your "go-to" for research, then you have no business posting a complaint. REAL complaints go to BBB, not google. FYI, pyramid schemes have been illegal for almost 40 years! They don't exist but maybe months at a time without being shut down. Team National is celebrating 20 (TWENTY) years (YEARS) in 2017! Do REAL research. Think for yourself instead of being swayed by others.

I am not a Team National Member but I can assure you that it is hard to say that their program is scam. Are Sam's Clubs memberships scams? I know people that have had their Sam's Club business memberships for well over a decade, and they have spent upwards of $1200 on their memberships. Where TN seems to differ themselves is with their Business Exchange. I've been told for about a $100 bucks a year, you can get your business on their exchange where you can offer a discount on products and services, 5-10%. They have excellent services for business including very low merchant services rates. I would say, that TN may not be for everyone, but if you are a business owner there can be some benefit there. I have not committed to their business because I am not looking to build another business at this time, and I am investing my funds back into my immediate business. There may came a time when some of my focus can be diverted.

So I don't know about these other companies, big crumbs and all that... BUT I know I'm not paying any money for a "chance" of saving money. That's dumb. This whole thing just seems dumb. If you claim you saved money, good for you. The only examples I've seen is crap I will never buy, and all the testimonials from previous members denouncing the thing are good enough advice for me. It's shady from the start. You can't see what you're buying, for significant money. I had to listen to someone babble on with an obviously rehashed sales pitch, and had to practically pull teeth to get him to tell me what the company was. This recruiting thing is nonsense. Normal companies attract clients using advertising, good business practices, and quality products. They don't have shady MLM schemes. They just don't. Also, if you're going to try and write a bit telling us how great it is, learn spelling and grammar. If you don't know the difference between your and you're, I don't care what you say.

There are so many companies out there that are selling the next best thing, but TN does what they say they can do, help families save and earn money (if you chose). I joined 6 years ago to put my business on the business exchange (the membership price is a tax write off because it is a business). It's been great and brought in more business as well as the savings on credit card processing, office supplies etc... My list could go on for a mile long about the savings. I am actively doing the business side as well as enjoying the savings side. I have made my membership back many times over. I'm happy and love the company, which allows me to show this company to my friends and family with pride. What they built and continue to build and improve helps me, my family and my teammates . We all believe the bad stuff because it's easier to do and there is so much of the bad in the world today (scams) that when we finally see a good things, we can't make our minds believe it. There is a better way to make a living that is legal and fun, it's called Team National. With that being said, we are free to post our opinions, and believe me I have read through all of these comments and could respond to so many about the false statements, I hope that anyone reading this will keep and open mind and be able to make a decision for themselves and their families before passing over TN. I'm sure I will get blasted because I love TN but the savings are real, the money is real and the people that run and manage the company are too. I am a Christian and believe that God gives me the abilities to support me and my family and loves me no matter what. I praise God for many things and TN is one of them. I won't apologize if I have offended anyone with that statement. or anything else that I have written. I won't engage in a verbal battle with anyone over this subject either. I won't respond to any of the post after I sign off because it is not going to change my mind or effect my life. I wish you all great fortune, family and love, God Bless!

My husband and I signed up almost a year ago. We paid for the lifetime membership. So far we have made $1600 back and have only signed up 3 people. Our upline has done most of the work for us. It is not a pyramid scheme because you can make more money than your upline all day long if you chose to work it. My husband and I have chosen not to work it as much as others because he works out of town. It is the most wonderful company, I get a discount on my insurance, phone bill and electricity. EVERY MONTH. You can not get that on BigCrumbs. Those are just a few ways we have saved money. Why are you so vehemently against TN? How have they hurt you? If you didn't sign up then you aren't out any money.

My wife and I are self employed. However we have also both been in the traditional job market for many years prior to self employment. Her background is as a licensed financial adviser with a very successful financial firm. Early on in our marriage I was a full time, (not volunteer) first responder. I transitioned into a really great position with an international manufacturing company (the home office was based in Wilmington, DE. hint, hint). In 2005 after 15 years of six figure income with this company, she and I decided to make the JUMP into self employment. I resigned my position and launched a design- build residential remodeling company and have experienced a very fulfilling career. So, for the past 34 years we have lived the American dream, doing what we had been programmed to do – work hard, be good neighbors, be productive citizens and teach our children to do the same. We are not offended by hard work, and do not expect “something for nothing”.
We now have 2 amazing grandchildren that live really close to us. Our hearts long to spend as much time as possible with them. In Jan 2016 we began looking for a way to create a second stream of income without the entanglements of rental properties. Something that would not add too much to our already full schedule – that would have the potential to actually generate a little time freedom for us. We were approached (its by invitation only) with Team National during this same time frame – a very busy time in our careers. She and I were working 60+ hours a week (the new normal for this generation) and squeezing LIFE in on the weekends. I have to say we were not immediately on board because it sounded too good to be true. It sounded like one of those “things”. In my line of work I spend a lot of money at Lowes and Home Depot – two of many places we purchase from daily. Through a partnership with Team National, both of these companies are paying generous rebates to TN members. There are well over 400 stores participating as of this writing. I saw a way to recoup the $2195 in a very short period of time using only this one avenue and these two specific stores. The process was simple – the income was passive – I did not have to change what I was buying – or where I was buying it from. So – if NOTHING else was true about anything else they pitched to me – it made sense – and it would cost me money if I did not join. We purchased the $2195 lifetime membership. This ONE purchase covered all of our bio-parents – including our bonus parents, our children, grand kids, and great grands when they arrive.

We have clients that have rental properties. My company assists investors in making their properties rent ready and keeping them in great shape. I know this market quite well. You probably know someone that does also. Thankfully we no longer have rental units. A typical low end investment in our market for a 3br, 1bath is around $65, 000. The income from that investment could potentially gross $850 per month, $10, 200 annually (~15%/yr) before Income tax. Certainly a decent ROI. If this note is servicing debt then the net ROI will be much lower. My $2195 investment using only the rebates from my daily purchases from the 2 stores mentioned is returning $200 on a low month and as much as $700 on a high month. If we average the high and low we get ~$450 per month, $5, 400 annually – and Rebates are NOT considered INCOME….so….that is Non taxable income. How sweet is that? That is a 246% return! Our entire investment was repaid in less than a year – and now we are cash positive. This is only using ONE of the hundreds of benefits. Of course not everyone spends the same – so each will have a different set of values. What I can say without a doubt is that our life has been forever changed.

We began sharing this concept with a only a few of our close friends in April of 2016. People that have a great work ethic; people with a positive outlook on life. To-date 16 of those friends have joined us. Those 16 have turned into over 100 teammates in a few short months. As a direct result of our efforts in TN my wife was able to resign from her financial career at the end of June 2016. She held this position for over 10 years. Yes, you guessed it – the income side works too, just like we were told.

For those who would say it does not work – or its a pyramid (pyramids are illegal), or you can find better deals on your own, I say – take off your blinders. What are you afraid of? Sure its a different concept, but its been around for 20 years! Is it perfect? No, but what is?

Well, a pyamid scheme is a false accusation that is easily proven by the Team National company acceptance into the Direct Sales association and being accepted into Dunn & Bradstreet for almost 20 years of providing a savings program! Of course this is not the only company out their with savings rebates but in my experience it is superior in offering for saving from A-Z on all items for living a lifestyle in America. You also have a chance to making an income by sharing this membership that has top companies in this direct sales industry paying close attention on how the success of high numbers of people work this business successfully! So those lots of people who don't want to be accountable for their own failues to perform what it takes to make any business a success, they find reasons to blame the company and other people of them being the victim of their failure to meet the opportunities this company has offered them! What I know after three years is that it is real and it's your choice to save and be as successful with this business as you want to be! For those using Scam., pyramid, lies ect., ect, it is not a qualified opinion! So Learn how you qualify your opinion!
