BehindMLM
first reviewed Appi Travels
in November 2016.

Founded and owned by Danny Gauthier, a serial scammer we’ve been tracking since early 2012, Appi Travels’ initial business model was your typical MLM travel niche pyramid scheme.

Following a tip-off from a BehindMLM reader, we published an
updated Appi Travels review
in early 2018.

In our updated review, we noted intact pyramid recruitment with the introduction of a gifting cycler.

Recently we were once again tipped off that Appi Travels has been adding and updating its compensation plan.

Today we take a look at Gauthier’s current offering in our third published Appi Travels review.

Appi Travels Products

Appi Travels has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market Appi Travels affiliate membership itself.

Appi Travels affiliate membership provides access to a discount travel booking engine, a website builder and “online training”.

The Appi Travels Compensation Plan

The Appi Travels compensation plan is made up of three components; Appi Fund, Appi Even Up Daily Pay and Appi VIP.

Appi Fund

The Appi Fund sees Appi Travels affiliates purchase positions in a five-tier 2×2 matrix cycler.

A 2×2 matrix places an Appi Travels affiliate at the top of a matrix, with two positions directly under them.

These two positions form the first level of the matrix. The second level of the matrix is generated by splitting the first two positions into another two positions each (4 positions).

This results in a total of six positions to be filled.

Matrix positions are filled when new and existing Appi Travels affiliates purchase subsequent positions.

When all six positions in a matrix are filled, a “cycle” is generated and a commission paid out.

Commission payments across Appi Travels’ five-tier matrix cycler are as follows:

Explorer (positions cost $35) – $75 cycle commission and generates a new Explorer matrix position

Traveler (positions cost $125) – $300 cycle commission and generates a new Traveler matrix position

Navigator (positions cost $275) – $750 cycle commission and generates a new Navigator matrix position

Adventure (positions cost $565) – $1500 cycle commission and generates a new Adventure matrix position

Discover (positions cost $1065) – $3000 cycle commission and generates a new Discover matrix position

Appi Even Up Daily Pay

Participation in Appi Even Up Daily Pay costs $75.

Appi Even Up splits recruited affiliates into two groups.

Even numbered recruited affiliates (the second, fourth, sixth etc. recruited affiliate) are passed up to the affiliate who recruited you.

Odd numbered affiliates are kept and are what Appi Even Up Daily Pay commissions are paid on.

In turn personally recruited affiliates must pass up their even-numbered recruits, as do the affiliates they recruit and so on.

For each affiliate either directly coded or pass-up coded to you, Appi Travels pays a 100% match on earned Appi Fund and Appi VIP commissions.
