    Default What is Aisle 19?

    Hey,

    My assistant just got an invitation to join Aisle 19? What is it? We can't seem to find any info on it online that isn't blocked by our filters here at work (a school). I told her that if anyone knows, the BBB knows!

    Here's what I could find about it. Sounds complicated to me.

    From ishoppingspree.com

    "So, have you heard the SECRET of Aisle 19? The secret is that you need an INVIATION from a current member to join. We were recently offered an invitation and after careful review we have decided to become members. I will reveal our reasons why this specific business works for us as individuals searching for a business opportunity.

    How To Make Money
    Simply sign up for a FREE Aisle 19 shopping account. Make purchases as you normally would. They will track your purchases and send you cash back rewards. Each store such as Walmart, Target and Kohls lists the rebate percentage of cash back savings.
    How To Make Money #2

    Save money by taking advantage of listed coupon offers at the time of purchase.
    How To Make Money #3

    Simply share your FREE Aisle 19 savings portal that offers your customers CASH BACK and other specials from their favorite stores. Every time someone shops from your mall you get paid. New members simply need be invited by another member and they can join and use their online shopping portal for FREE.
    How To Make Money #4

    You see, if you refer someone by invitation and they become a member, you’ll earn Cashback from their purchases plus Cashback on the purchases made by members they refer by invitation! Not only on the first purchase they make, but you’re eligible to earn Cashback on every single purchase they ever make in the online shopping marketplace…for life!
    How To Make Money #5

    Escape also offers a Revenue Sharing Pool and believes in sharing the success with those who build it. They set aside 2% of all the business company wide and distribute it to the members that are qualified as revenue sharing recipients each quarter.

    How Does It Work?
    Most people don't realize that internet retailers like Walmart, Kohls and Target pay a reward incentive to online shopping portals. When they send shoppers to those stores they receive a "commission" from the stores represented on their web site. They simply share that money with their shoppers, thus paying you to shop on the internet.
    Escape takes this business model to a new level by sharing a new simple business prototype for people interested in earning more than just cash back savings.

    I am automatically turned off by anything that says, "secret" and "business" in the same sentence.

    Not sure the legal definition of pyramid scheme, but this sounds similar. I don't see any money outlay though.

    Also sounds a bit like ebates, although there are lots of people using that one that could comment better than I could.

    There are already great, FREE, PUBLIC sites to shop and get money back, like Ebates or give your rebate to charity through IGive.

    Thanks for the info. I told her that I thought it seemed a bit like a pyramid scheme. I didn't like the looks of it at all. The video was creepy, too.
