Team National Reviews
Legit or Scam?
Team National
is a company that uses the power of volume
purchasing to contract discounts from a
variety of retailers. By joining the
company you have the chance to take
advantage of these savings and are also
encouraged to market the same benefits
package to others.
The opportunity from Team National is a
Benefit and Service Guide called "Your Road
to Savings." It's a package that
offers discounts on a plethora of products
and services. This package sells
for between $400 - $2,000 depending on
whether you opt for the two year or lifetime
package.
Team National encourages you to resell
this package to your friends and family who
will in turn do the same, creating your down
line. The reason that the company has
some negative comments about it is that
whenever the recruitment aspect of an multi level marketing is
more beneficial than the product/service then
red flags are automatically raised.
I'm not saying it is or it isn't in this particular case but I know that many people feel that any MLM organization is inherently deceptive with regard to it's recruiting practices. It's up to you to decide if you feel like MLM is the type of business model you want to work with.
If you've been approached by a Team
National representative and are
interested in joining the company I would
recommend a few things. Since two thousand dollars is a
lot of money to pay for anything, sit down
and make a list of what discounts you will
realistically want to take advantage of.
Then cross reference it with prices/packages
that you can find online or through less
expensive discount programs. If you believe that you'll save more buying products from Team National than it costs for the membership then this may be a good deal for you.
The people selling Team National as a
business opportunity use savings on a vehicle purchase as
one of their main selling points. This is where you have to be very thorough because with such a big purchase you want to make sure you're really getting the savings that you expect.

Wayne R | 6:09pm on February 2nd, 2012  | Question why would pay to save money if you pay are you saving? I mean really. If you pay me then are you saving hahaha |
FFam StL | 1:22pm on January 22nd, 2012  | Taylor in Omaha; the people at the top are ALWAYS helping and holding calls, helping with PowerPlays and organizing meetings for everyone to UNDERSTAND the program.
We have been in Team National for a year and we have obtained great friends. We have not made much because we have not used the time to share the program. Team National is a team and everyone is eager to help.
I disagree that someone "forced" you to fork out $2200. YOU chose to sign the contract. If you felt comfortable signing and giving your credit card number, you obviously had a good understanding of what was required to work the program. The problem is when you sit back and expect others to do it for you, you get no results.
Team National is GIVING away cruises this year AND $500 spending cash. The money we pay in, goes back to the folks working the business. The company runs debt free off 26% of income. The rest of the income is filtered back into their people.
Money doesn't trickle to the top, unless the top have EARNED it by doing their part to HELP their downline. The points trickle up. If you dont know what the "point system" is, then you need to reread your contract and take the time to UNDERSTAND what you have paid for. If you just sign and blab your mouth without learning the game plan, you are a fool. Failure comes from those who do not try. Don't blame a company and give a bad review when there are SOOO many people willing to help.
If you have had a bad experience, seek another member. I have never met a more welcoming group than I have with TN. This year, with our child's diagnoses settling down, we plan on doing more with this company!
If you are already in TN, I suggest making a dream board...see your goals, not just hear them, and success will follow. The rich are rich because they have listened to the wiser ones who are already doing what needs to be done. If you join TN and reinvent what the wheel looks like, you aren't going to succeed. Don't try to make this more complicated than it is!

William North Carolina | 9:29pm on January 20th, 2012 | One big Lie, SCAM. |
Cornelius Hudson North Charleston, SC | 9:40pm on January 15th, 2012  | I am so glad that someone took the time to share Team National (TN)with me. I saved more than it cost me to be a member on things that I would have bought even if I did not belong to the company and within 4 months I was able to pay off all of my credit card debt. TN works for those that take advantage of what the company has to offer. If I buy a treadmill and only use it to hang my clothes on, to state that the treadmill did not help me loose weight would be completely ignorant. |
michael NE | 3:24pm on January 13th, 2012  | TN took my money when I was down and gave me nothing in return but sadness and regrets. I hope my story can help someone avoid getting ripped off as I did.
Last summer a member from my church invited me to a meeting on a Saturday afternoon. I asked him what it was about, and he said "I'm not sure, but I know it's good." I went reluctantly, and shortly after it started, I realized it was a MLM scheme, which made me angry. I should have got up and left right then and there, but I felt embarrassed, so I stayed; and the presenter was sharp and very convincing. He said he had even obtained a free Verizon smart phone and tons of other benefits as well as amazing income, etc etc. Then at the end they asked for $2,200!!!
Also at the time I was vulnerable because I had been laid off from my job, and of course the income potential seemed really exciting. They had hooked me. But I couldn't afford the big money so they offered me a plan for about $800, with $400 down and four payments of $100. They had me so excited by the clever presentation that I went ahead and gave them my credit card number. Remember I was out of work, and they--the church members--KNEW that. I was giving them my last dollars to chase the seemingly excellent opportunity.
Shortly after the meeting, the same person who did the presentation came to my house to get me started on the program. That's when reality began to sink in. Basically you have to give your life to TN in order to sign people up. The idea is to hold these meetings or rallies in your home or, better yet, in the home of your prospect, as often as possible. Bottom line is, to be successful with TN, you'll have to spend a GREAT DEAL OF YOUR TIME bugging people about attending a meeting and holding meetings, doing everything in your power (including, apparently, stretching the truth to the Nth degree) to get your contacts to sign up and pay the $2200. For that you get points, and if your recruits start doing the same thing, you can make big money. It's just that one in a thousand people will actually take the ball and run with it because MOST people don't like to bother their friends, family, and associates like that, and they don't want to drop everything else in their life.
And as for the so-called discounts, they are not very good. The "free" phone that my presenter bragged about was nothing more than a special offer from Verizon that anyone could get. Also, from what I could tell, most other items in the TN catalog are high-ticket items, like a $3000 couch that, with TN discount, costs $500-600. The problem is you can go get a very similar couch at the local Furniture Mart for the same money. Every item I looked at was like that--not worth it. Nothing there was truly a good deal. It's all cover for the MLM business, which is their true nature.
So I found a good job and finally paid off my TN account. Every month I had to pay that loser payment was painful for me. $800 that I couldn't afford thrown to the wind because I didn't have the courage to walk out that day. DON'T GO TO A TN MEETING. Just say no. |
Chris & Cathy Mississippi | 1:29pm on January 6th, 2012  | My wife and I have been members of TN for a little over two years now. We have saved on everything from jewelry to truck tires. We have already saved over 5 times what it cost us to join, not to mention what we've managed to earn. Do we save on everything? No, but we do save most of the time. For the people saying that TN is a scam check out their ratings with Dunn & Bradstreet & the BBB of Southeast Florida. D&B gives them a platinum review and the BBB gives them an A+ rating. They are also members of the US Chamber of Commerce and the DSA. This business isn't for everybody just like being an electrician isn't. Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it bad. |
Mark Rogers Jackson, TN | 8:21am on January 5th, 2012  | Team National has been a journey for my wife and I. We have been members for 4 months and saved over $800.00 just on diapers, jewelery, and various other items including our cell phones. We purchased a standard membership and now have shared this simple duplicate system to a few of our friends and now things are rapidly picking up because they are doing the same thing. We have found that the best way to be successful in this company is to allow the people who told you about it do all of the work for you. Now tell me this, would you rather get paid by someone else doing all the work for you? My background is Federal Employee and I have an MBA. I am 26 years old and my wife is a student and stay at home Mother. We have not looked back and are now eager to upgrade our membership to the premium package. A lifetime of savings and earnings for 5 generations is more than worth it. And you never pay more than $2195.00 for your membership. That is a one time fee. I recommend that you get with whoever shared this company with you and see what difference this can make in your life. I can assure you this is one of the best decisions we have made with our money primarily because it puts more in our pocket just to share it with our friends. |
Richard Durst New Port Richey, FL | 2:35am on December 29th, 2011  | I have been in since 2006 and have done nothing and got nothing but that IS my fault. I simply look at the facts number 1 is how in the world would this business still be operating today with all the Freddie Macs, and Enrons, ponzies and such out there that have been brought down because they were flawed, but Team National is still there and negs are the same as in 2006 people still call it a scam but at least 50% call it great, yeah they may be members thats okay, and the ones I know can hardly be called uneducated and worse. Fact is Team National is still going strong, what is problem with those who say it a scam? Maybe they have not done their homework.
For those who joined like me and have have a problem, if they are really are honest with themselves they can see that they are the problem. I'm going try it again because it does make sense, the one thing I will say is you have to have money to save money. Team National I salute for standing like you do with your doors wide open and say come on in if you want to. I have not been hassled at all and hope maybe I can make things work out. |
Dean n Missy Louisiana | 1:05pm on December 20th, 2011  | My wife and I have been very satisfied customers of Team National for 18 months. We have saved over $10,000.00 on purchases that we were already going to make at the same places! We also have earned over $10,000.00 and have helped hundreds of families and business owners save and earn thousands. For the naysayers, YES just like any business venture you do have to put forth an effort to earn an income. Don't be foolish to think that the checks just roll in because you started a business!! The savings have been awesome and the earnings have allowed us choices in our lives but helping others in this down economy has been HEARTFELT! As an added extra the membership and all business expenses are available as tax write offs because you now you are a business owner! The people are very positively motivated with a burning desire to help others! |
luvTN Wisconsin | 8:59pm on December 15th, 2011  | Team National is owned by the finest people I have ever known. Each member saves according to his or her spending habits. No Team National is NOT for everyone. It is only for those with a desire for a better life and a home based business. The person that is not afraid to use the system, use the membership benefits and help each other as the owners have designed, the program works and makes people wealthy in every way - money, time, relationships and joy. I love Team National!! |
Joker Ky | 11:38am on December 8th, 2011  | I joined a few yr ago and it is a good company "IF" you get out there and work it and "IF" you can get others to join then you will truly make money. You can't just sit around and do nothing you have to work at it and the way the economy is now it will be hard to get people to join because they do not have the money. You can have a website through them and make money if you use it and get others to use it also. |
Christy GA | 4:27pm on December 6th, 2011  | Okay, I couldn't post before because I was using foul language, lol. I am sorry for that. I do not have time to post a detailed review like I did in my previous post. I just want to say that Team National is not great and I am a member. If I had it to do over, I would have never joined. |
Bobby B. TX | 10:51am on December 1st, 2011  | I don't see how this is not a "scam" in one way or another. I was approached recently and the money making part does not make any since to myself or my wife. The money keeps filtering to the top as your team accumulates points and your "host" receives money. If I am not mistaken, the HOSTS get much more cash than others and I do not see how the money adds up in this sense.
Just my two cents and I know I am on the outside looking in. Many of these people have quit their jobs to do this. My real question is, "WHAT IS TEAM NATIONAL REALLY SELLING?"
It seems to me that this is just a money making scheme and will go the way of others soon leaving a lot of people hurt. |
bob tn | 10:50pm on November 22nd, 2011 | tomorrow is my first, by me reading all these comments,its making me think twice about this business......should i join or should i just leave it alone |
Brian Chicago | 12:29pm on November 17th, 2011  | How you people fall into this garbage! I know first hand my sibling was brainwashed by this company over ten years ago makes me sick. Further more you don't save any money? Compare any of their products and then go on internet and you will find way cheaper prices. They are cultist! Sell your soul for money. Just beware! |
Emory Bestenlehner Orange County, CA | 1:24pm on November 14th, 2011  | Team National is the most ethical home based business, with the best compensation program I have ever encountered. My wife and I have saved thousands with the membership, as well as made thousands by simply referring people to the membership, and helped others do the same. I've had exposure to other like businesses (Amway, Melaluca, Monavie, Herbalife), these all pale in comparison to Team National.
If you're looking to save, or make money, TN is the solution! |
CB TX | 2:38pm on November 7th, 2011  | Team National is a network marketing business and as a business, it inherently implies that work will be required to be successful. We live in a world of self-entitled people that want immediate gratification. Businesses take time and effort to grow and be successful. Other network marketing businesses require similar commitment. The products sold or start-up costs may vary, but there is no shortcut to anywhere worth going.
It is ironic that many of the negative comments/reviews here are from people that either never joined and tried for themselves or joined and had unrealistic expectations. As far as direct sales companies go, Team National has one of the best track records when it comes to business ethics and financial stability. I would encourage anyone seriously considering joining Team National as a member, or going further and starting a Team National business, to get the facts from places like the Direct Selling Association (DSA.org), Dunn and Bradstreet, the BBB, or the US Chamber of Commerce rather than listening to opinions from the Internet you have no way of confirming.
I have been a member for a couple of years. I recovered the entire cost of my membership (100% ROI) in 4 weeks. I have saved in excess of $15,000 in two years on many goods and services that I would have purchased anyway without having access to a discount. In that same period of time, I've made much more than I've saved and continue to realize steady growth in my business. It isn't "get rich quick"... it is "get wealthy steady". If reading a handful of folks crying about why it didn't work for them deters you from making an effort for you, whether Team National or any home based business, then this probably isn't the right industry for you to launch a business anyway.

dee dee TN | 11:26pm on October 23rd, 2011 | Team National is like any other business - there are those who do their jobs properly and those who do not pay attention to training and do not perform their jobs as they are supposed to.
If you go into Starbucks & get lousy coffee & lousy service - do you walk away forever, or do you seek a different Starbucks experience?
If you have had a bad Team National experience, it is ONLY because the person who recruited you or attempted to recruit you did not follow their training and did not do their job properly. I hate that for you, because you lost out on an opportunity to save a great deal of $$ and, if you were interested in an awesome part-time earnings potential, they blew that for you as well.
For those who have already invested in packages and you do not feel you are getting your $$ worth - CALL THE COMPANY. They will hear your concerns and help you, if you are open to being helped. If you just want to gripe....no one can help you with that.
Bottom line - unfortunately, the local person you are/were working with is the problem. The awesome company, Team National, is NOT the problem. |
Luke L. Lufkin Tx | 5:18pm on October 21st, 2011  | Amazing company, amazing savings! Changed my life!! |
Taylor Omaha | 10:41am on October 17th, 2011  | So many, brain washed... Really really sad. The only reason I'm posting is so that hopefully, if even just one person reads this that is on the fence about joining, they don't. Once you let them brain wash you and get you in, it is very hard to get out, I've seen it with too many people. Ask yourself why all the money people pay funnels to the top; to people who aren't doing anything but grandstanding about how great their company is. Don't join! |
