Anyone every heard of Travelonly?

[farmgirl]

I've been hearing alot on the radio lately about this company called Travel only. I've checked it out, seems legite, but looks to be a pyramid type thing. Anyone ever heard about it? Hubby wants me to check into it, but just can't seem to find out alot about it online. Might have to bite the bullet and go to the seminar, but I really hate high pressure meetings like what I think this might be.

Never heard of it, and we live fairly close....can you give more info or a link to a site?

If it is remotely any type of pyramid scheme or multi level marketing, run away, fast and far.

well, those I will buy.

yup, it's network marketing, all right

anytime you read something like this:

'we'll give you the tools to build your own success.'

warning bells should go off.

How can it possible be any different than using any other travel agency or online sell-off site? Or are you thinking of doing it for a living?

My luck is unbelievable lately. Not only was my e-mail address one of 2 winners in the fifa sweepstakes, but, people in the UK, Nigeria and Japan need my help in getting millions of dollars and i will get 1/2. I am quitting my job at the end of the day today and i'll be buying all of Playa in a few days with all of the money i am going to be receiving

I thought it sounded interesting, but not really into pyramid stuff. I'm looking to do something, but just not sure what. Just quit my old business that I have had for 7 years cause I am sick to death of cooking and need to find something to fill my time. I am very interested in travel so thought it might be worth a look. I just thought maybe someone else on this site had heard of it or better yet been to one of their seminars, maybe save me alot of time if it is a scam.
My family all thinks I should look into the travel industry in some form because I love to spend time surfing the net researching our own vacations. Besides, just found out that high speed for us out in the boonies dropped $200 and had my house tested and we can reach the tower from here!!! So researching things will be a heck of alot easier for me.
Oh well, will keep looking, something will come up that fits for me!

Just talked to my mom, she was laughing because she got a voucher in the mail for a cruise and Fort Lauderdale vacation! I told her is likely the same one that I got a phone call about that they won't you and your spouse to listen to their speal then give them your visa number to pay the taxes! I wonder how many people actually go for that? Must be some considering the huge phone bills they must have, they call our house at least 5 times a week!

They called my cell phone one day. Pay $299 and the vacation is yours. It's legit you get a cruise but not on the nice cruise ship they make it out to be and they have lawsuits filed against them in the states.....I told the lady as soon as she said I had won and that I need to pay that I didn't have my visa cause I was at work. She gave me her number to call her back but I never did.

oh, of course ....how embarassing .....

farmgirl- I hear ya. I would love to work as a TA, too, I love travelling, planning vacations, helping people, doing research, etc. My friends and family also always tell me I should be a TA, but it simply doesn't pay enough as an entry level position to warrant a change at this point.

and yes I get those stupid calls about the 'free cruise' too.

Entry level?

Be your own boss, you won't complain one bit about the pay - but you will complain about the hours!

By 'entry level' I meant just getting on as a new agent at an agency (plus I would have to take some training I am sure, which would mean loss of income then too). And I have to admit our weekends off are gold to us.

I wasn't thinking of being my own boss. But I suspect in general TAs are better paid in the US than they are here, Shams. Unfortunately! But the perks would be nice.
