InCruises launched in early 2016 and operate in the travel services MLM niche.

reviewed InCruises
on January 16th, 2016 and concluded it was your usual “access to discounts” fare.
This is problematic as in MLM access to third-party discounts isn’t a product in and of itself (you can’t just charge a fee to provide access to someone else’s discounts).
“Cruise Dollars” go some way to alleviate this compliance issue, providing essentially credits that can be used towards discounted travel.
Additionally the InCruises compensation plan had no retail volume qualifiers, allowing an InCruises affiliate to qualify for commissions via affiliate recruitment (affiliates being the majority holders of travel discount memberships).

.’
Today we review InCruises’ new compensation plan and seeing if that’s the case.
