I have been in this program.
I have been very pleased. As the video states, it is not for everyone. Perhaps someone did not fully explain or you could not understand. But I would like to understand, what was taken from you?
It cost nothing......

Yes it is not for everyone, only for those who don't mind going along with the false representations of the company. It does cost you, time and money. You have to complete some offers and pay a fee which is really not much( around $1 per offer). I have lost about $5 and 3 hours from signing up and canceling trials. However the misrepresentation really lies in the nature of the job.
If only they would just be honest about what you would be doing: You are making money from getting other people sign up to "take inbound calls". There is no actual "work". Once you have completed the offers and some crafty representative has made money, you will basically be scamming people the same way you were scammed. So if you're ok with that then fair enough.
But they are right it's not for everyone. So even though it didn't cost me much money(but unfortunately a lot of time), it cost me my TRUST and dignity. I believed the guy that got me to sign up, he convinced me this was a legit and great way to make money. But everything he told me was false. So if you don't want to waste your time, money, energy or lose trust in online marketing opportunites, my advice is stay away!

I responded to an add. The lady explained everything to me, was very helpful very honest. I was glad to have someone help me. I did the same to everyone of my family members that came in under me. I guess if I never got paid, I would feel the same way as you. But many people have seen great benefit from this, when they could not get a job anywhere else. If the companies did something else with people's information, then I could see it being called so.
Everyone is not cut out to be a marketer, as everyone is not cut out o be the president. Perhaps if you had the help I had, you would not be on here. In these times this is an excellent opportunity. I would never sell blood as last resort for money! Some people do. I would never call that a scam. It's work when you take time to help people, and answer questions around the clock.

Basically how much does it cost to get the offer? If you cancel the trial do you still get paid?
How much does the advertising coop cost?
I have done something like this before but wasn't successful but with the internet this could work.
Thanks,

Free Treasure Chest has been around since 2008 and offer free memberships to people who want to earn money by referring others to try free or low-cost offers for products and services.
When I see FREE, I am always skeptical. "Free" is often used as bait; after you get in, you get upsold and it quickly becomes "paid-for" and not free anymore.
The basic idea of Free Treasure Chest is that it offers anyone residing in the USA or Canada the opportunity to sign up as a FREE MEMBER. Members try out some offers for various products and services; some free, others costing little. This qualifies the member to earn money by referring others to try the offers available from their website. Upon completion of the required number of offers, a member becomes an Independent Referral Agent for Free Treasure Chest.
There are two particular "mini-sites" in Free Treasure Chest that are interesting.
The First is their PEARL, where an Independent Referral Agent earns $20.00 for each referral who completes one (1) offer.
Then there is their SILVER, where an Independent Referral Agent earns a minimum of $60.00 for each referral who completes one (1) credit.
In SILVER, the referral needs to accumulate one (1) credit by completing several offers. There are offers which are worth 0.25 credits, there are those which are 0.20, 0.15 depending on the offer. One usually completes anywhere between four (4) to six (6) offer to earn the 1.00 credits required.
I particularly like these loots as Free Treasure Chest calls them because the PEARL, gives me the opportunity to pocket several twenty's every day, while SILVER, does the same exact thing in multiples of sixties.
I have only been in the program for a couple of weeks and I've already seen funds being transferred to my Paypal account, and they even pay for the fees so that makes me a happy camper.
As good as Free Treasure Chest is, there are some people who jump into registering without knowing full well what it means to join, and feel that they are scammed simply because they had to pay for an offer or a few offers. I cannot understand how this can be seen as a scam or a rip-off because the essence of being scammed is that one pays for a product or service that is never received. All the offers given provide products or services that most of need and use on a regular basis anyway, so I think there is a real disconnect.
Another reason for people who cry "scam" justify their position is that membership is not really free as they are paying for some offers. While it is true that some trials are paid ones, the money paid for the trials do not go to Free Treasure Chest or the Independent Referral Agent, but to the companies who made the trial offers. These fees are actually substantially discounted compared to the amount people have to shell out if they buy them retail.
The money that Independent Referral Agents are paid do not directly come from these trial offer fees but from budgets that these companies allot for their advertising.
So this brings me back to my original questions:
1. Is Free Treasure Chest really free? Yes, Signing up to become an Independent Referral Agent for Free Treasure Chest is 100% Free;
2. Can you really make money from Free Teasure Chest? Yes, you can make money honestly from becoming an Independent Referral Agent for Free Treasure Chest; other people already are, I am starting to see money coming in; why not you? There is nothing to lose, but definitely a lot to gain;
3. Is Free Treasure Chest a scam? Absolutely not. Free Treasure Chest does not charge anything for becoming an Independent Referral Agent, and it has paid people for referring others to try the offers featured in their website/s.

I am an Independent Agent for the Company. I participated in opportunity and working this fun job daily. It is NOT MLM or a Pyramid Scheme. The checks I receive from LFK clear the bank! My product IS promotional trials from MAJOR vendors who advertize on the internet. No different that the advertising salesperson who sells Promo Trial Advertising to a TV network, Billboard Company, and a zillion other places. At the same time I am offering folks who contact me through my advertising the same opportunity to work for LFK, and make a decent income. Participating prospects learn what the product is by participating in the vendor trail promotionals, they ARE NOT REQUIRED to keep the trials to qualify for this fun job. We are paid from large Vendor advertising budgets, NOT the Trial Offers!
