Team National Reviews
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.

Comments to date: 219. Page 3 of 3. Average Rating:  Steven Campbell Warrenville | 10:14pm on Monday, April 28th, 2008  | I have been a Team National member for 14 months now. I was pressured into the organization by a co-worker of my wife. I was promised financial freedom, and huge savings from the things I will buy. THE TRUTH IS AFTER USING THE BENIFIT PACKAGE STEADY FOR 14 MONTHS MY WIFE AND I HAVE SAVED ONLY $400.00. At that rate it will take 6 years to make my $2,100 dollars I spent. I have also purchased a glass table from the factory direct TN. It was nothing but cheap crap made in China. At that time I realized It was a scam. For What I paid I could have got the same table at Value City or Target for the same price. I am greatful I have not wasted any more of my time with this pyramid scam. I have regrets to the 2 family members I have sold this to, I'm thankful I did not approach my friends with this. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE JOINING! 2,100 is hard to come by these days. BEWARE!!!!!!!! |
christopher tucson arizona | 1:25pm on Tuesday, April 15th, 2008  | The savings, discounts and returns are really worth the membership fee. The making money is a little more work, yes work. But it is alot of fun and enjoyable (the monies ;not bad either) |
Suz Lancaster, CA | 7:02pm on Monday, April 14th, 2008 | Can Anyone share if Team National really has group health insurance offered? Auto Insurance? Homeowners Insurance? And how good? Savings? |
SMITH louisiana | 2:16pm on Thursday, April 10th, 2008  | I have been a Team National member for 2 yrs. At first I was skeptical and did alot of research before becoming a member. I am thankful that I did!! In 2 yrs. I have SAVED over $12,000 on things from furniture, a new car, cut my home and auto insurance in half with increased coverage, and the list goes on...but even better-- In the last two years I have DOUBLED the salary that I used to make with a 14 yr. career with a Master's Degree in Nursing-- and I have only referred 16 people to the company in these 2 yrs. TN is a registered member of Dunn & Bradstreet, the DSA, the BBB of Southeast Florida, and the owner of the company is a board member with the United States chamber of Commerce....that's good enough for me!! |
s lewis murfreesboro,ar | 10:04am on Saturday, April 5th, 2008  | ! am a Team National Member I was scamed from the start with my upline.Ive been with them for almost two years not one red cent yet.its a scam that needs to go away.you can find me with my TN listing. Feel free to call. |
Steve L. Jackson MI | 8:58am on Friday, April 4th, 2008  | This is in response to the lady that asked why they don't let people try it for 60 days to "USE" the benefits. When you bought your last vehicle, did you drive it for 60 days for free before signing and buying? Absolutely not! "But if the "car" was so good, why wouldn't they?" People are joing this business all over the country, get with someone who can help you navigate through the benefits package and find out if it is right for you. |
Travis NC | 1:21pm on Thursday, April 3rd, 2008  | I have been a member of Team National for 10 months. This company has been, and done, everything they said they would for me. The savings package works. Why pay retail when you can pay less?? In some cases up to 70% less! I have introduced Team National to several of my friends and family members (13 of which signed on). I have already seen a 5 fold return on my investment and know there is a lot of money on the table with this company. I encourage everyone to take an "open minded" look at Team National. |
Selene Texas | 3:39pm on Sunday, March 30th, 2008  | If this program is sooo good, why is it that potential members aren't able to try it free for two months without any commitments attached.This way they can actually experience the "BENEFITS" of such program. |
J Runty Ok. | 12:35pm on Thursday, March 13th, 2008  | There's lots of ways to make money in this world but ask yourself, "Is it ethical?" When you want others to give you their money so you can be rich, it is both wrong and lazy! People are promoting this Team National in churches and families and that is wrong and unethical. Most people are not going to make very much money in this co. except through the recruitment of others and their money. |
Becky Iowa | 5:30pm on Monday, March 3rd, 2008  | My husband and I have been proud members of Team National now for almost two years. We are active members, meaning we go to meetings and we share it with others and use the benefits regularly. We recently saved 2/3 of retail on beautiful furniture with the Factory Direct benefit. We can proudly say that we have over a dozen members of his family and mine involved with the National companies that have all seen similiar savings. This is the best company in the world to be with and anyone that doesn't like the company hasn't taken the time to look at all it has to offer. It isn't a MLM company because it has unlimited depth, not like all those other companies that go down a few levels and then cut off. It isn't product-driven, so you don't have to have any inventory. There are no monthly quotas. They pay seven different ways with a higher payout than any other direct marketing company in the United States. These aren't claims, these are facts. It's just too bad more people look at the facts, they could be enjoying the benefits and income by becoming a Team National Independent Marketing Director. |
Becky MISSOURI | 10:05pm on Monday, February 25th, 2008  | i too got in on the quick star and was not impressed with the program they provided...i was shown team national back in 2002 and was skeptical at first. since that time i have done all my research on this company and have watched my host grow with this company..she is the 35th millionaire in this company. my problem was i didnt hang onto her shirt tail long enough and i stepped out of the company for a few years. i since have relocatd my family ..contacted my friend and in the last year signed up 5 more people into this company. i do believe strongly in their values and ethics. i to have received my "comma" checks and have reaped the benefits and savings from the company. when i reach the millionaire status unlike any other company i can will my business to my children. i would recommend this business to anyone who has the desire to make a better life for themself and their family. thank you Becky |
Roy Abercrombie Villa Rica Ga | 4:14pm on Friday, February 15th, 2008  | I had never b een even slightly tempted to join any MLM Co. because they all involved a product. When I was approached by an old acquiantance (not familly) of course I was skeptical. It just sounded to good to be true. After doing my do-diligence (not a google search) I discovered they had an impeccable record. I spent my $2195 and made ALL my money back in less than 45 days. $1800 was in my first "comma" check. After 22 months and many thousands in earnings and many thousands in savings I couldn't b e happier. I've found all the nay sayers just haven't tried the package nor have tried to work the business. It's the greatest money making tool I've eveer seen. In the year 2007 I cleared more money with TN than I did with $1.1 million worth of rental property. I absolutely love this company!!! |
mary utah | 5:56pm on Wednesday, February 13th, 2008  | I also was very skeptical about TN when i was approched by a friend but told her I would look at it. I researched it a bit and found that it was indeed a good company. One of the things that impressed me the most was that they are members of DSA Direct selling association, and in ther code of ethics it states " Pyramid schemes are illegal and companies operating pyramids are not permitted to be members of the DSA" That said a lot to me. So I purchased the premium package 5 days ago. I have already earned $600. I am so exited to be apart of TN |
Pamela louisiana | 8:24pm on Saturday, February 9th, 2008  | I have seen many things in my life. I was shown all of the home business you can imagine and was very cautious about any of them. However I can say that If I believe in it then it is well worth it. My husband and I have been working it for only a couple of months and have made enough money to well and pay for it. I have looked at it for two years before I joined because of looking for a scam. I love it you don't have to by any products to see out of your house. You don't have to beg people. I have also saved a lot of money on all sorts of things. I work for a big company and get only a ten percent discount with this at the same company I recieve twenty five discount through this business. You can't beat it. I would encourage anyone to do this business. You may pay for a package however you can claim it on the section nine of your taxes to get you investment back. well worth it if I believe you should. |
Bev Marlow Location unknown | 2:50pm on Wednesday, February 6th, 2008  | Thank you for making people stop and take another look at something that has all the red flags of a scam. I also was aproached by a relative to buy into this. This would be illeagal but they have enough of so-called-savings it's hidden |
Veronica Scott Palm Coast, FL | 9:04pm on Friday, February 1st, 2008  | I joined Team National in July 2007 and I have already put hundreds of dollars back in my pocket on things I would have bought anyway. Team National has been in business 11 years and are members of the Better Business Bureau, the Chamber of Commerce of SE Florida, and they are registered members of Dunn and Bradstreet. I believe that speaks to the integrity of this company, which is family-owned and operated. Those of us who become members are treated like family. Team National is always adding new benefits and we never have to spend more money to use new benefits just because they were added after we became members. How many companies do you know that would keep giving their members more benefits when they don't have to do that? In addition, I can extend my benefits to my children and grandchildren, parents, grandparents, and 5 employees (if I had any). Again, what company do you know that allows you to extend your benefits to others for free?
Team National offers us ways to save significant amounts of money on cars, furniture, jewelry, communications, merchant accounts (for businesses), etc, and in March 2008, we'll be able to save money on closing costs when buying or selling homes! We have a website affiliate program where we can earn commission back on our purchases at stores we would normally shop from anyway. We also have a local Business Exchange where business owners, who are also Team National members, offer discounts to us. If I need a new heating or A/C system, carpeting, cabinets, piano tuning, etc, I just check the Business Exchange to see who will offer me a discount. The best part is, Team National never pushes me to buy anything I don't need or want, nor does anyone else. The only way to lose with Team National is to buy a benefits package and never use it... now why would anyone do that??? What's painful to me is when people aren't even open-minded enough to take a look at this plan. I don't have any shampoo in my garage! I am not selling any products. This is not like any other plan out there. My goal is to help others find what I've found... a way to get the things I need and still save money. One thing I've found out as a therapist, however, is that people have to want to make a change for themselves... you can't do it for them.
Sharing Team National's plan with others is an optional way to earn income, but it is not required and it's free to become an independent marketing director. I'll be honest, even if there were no compensation plan, I'd be hard-pressed to keep this plan to myself. I would never let someone I love spend money they didn't need to spend. Being able to earn money sharing this opportunity is a perk that I love, but I would do it for nothing just out of concern for others. I love Team National. I wish I would have found it 11 years ago, but I'm SO glad I have found it now. It is the best thing I've ever done for my family's long-term financial security. I hope everyone will take a look at Team National for themselves and see if this plan can help them. |
B Nolen Omega, GA | 12:26pm on Monday, January 28th, 2008  | I have been a Team National Member for approximately one year now. I purchased a premium package for 2,195.00. With this packagei was able to include my wife, my two children and their husbands along with my mom. At first I was very skeptical and though I had invested my money unwisely. However over the last year my family has saved on eye glasses and insurance and home furnishings to the tune of over 5,000.00 also I have received over 300.00 in commissions from stores that I would have done business with anyway. The National National Market Place includes stores like Bass Pro, Cabellas, Sears, Kmart, Famous Footwear Goody's, Macey's, and Old Navy just to name a few.
My opinion, skeptical at first, now happy. Oh I forgot to mention I do enjoy the checks I have gotten for sharing this concept. It is not easy as most people are afraid they won't get anything for their money but if they use the program recouperating your money is no problem.
Thanks |
Mary Missouri | 7:55pm on Sunday, January 27th, 2008  | There is no better vehicle out there to make a nice income with very little to no overhead, no employees.... and you can work from home. It is awesome. I encourage anyone to try Team National. |
J. Lacher San Diego, CA | 4:40pm on Friday, January 18th, 2008  | I have spent an average of 2 hours of my time on 2 seperate days with a local Team National representative. The rep was totally up front with me. We had a great breakfast which he paid for both times. I watched a one hour video about Team National. The corporate Team National headquarters is in Fort Lauderdale. While I visited with the rep he put me on the phone with 2 Team National representatives who were considerably higher up in the company. Both stated they have been with TN for over 10 years and making a considerable amount of money.
Keep in mind that the people selling Team National as a home based business opportunity use product savings as one of their main selling points. These products could be anything from a new or used automobile to a memory form mattress and boxspring, to anything and everything inbetween.
I am extremely cautious when it comes to MLM's like Team National. It reminds of Quickstar, Shackly, and the old "Dare TO BE GREAT" pyramid scam that surfaced in Florida many years ago. The MLM that really reminds me of caution was the vitamin, health and beauty aid MLM that appeared on the East Coast in 1998. Hundreds if not thousands of individuals paid $1000.00 each to get onto the "program" I was one of them and lost my $1,000.00. I filed a law suit against the company but soon discovered that hundreds of other people did the same thing. Our suit turned into a FEDERAL Class Action Law Suit. We never saw our money. The owners went to prison for postal fraud and a host of other state and federal violations for 10 years.
With all due respect to TN I must bale out before I make an investment of hard earned money. |
