NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. I have been in YTB for almost 2 years and while I haven’t made tons of money, YTB has delievered on everything it said it would in its RTA’s Bill of Rights. I was smart enough going into the business to realize that it was going to take more than a $500 investment and 6 months for my business to be profitable. I went into it for the long haul and believe that if I keep working it, I will one day have a strong profitable business. A number of years ago, I spent about the same amount of money to get into one of the makeup businesses. At that time, $500 was a lot more money than it is today. I never made a dime on that business, but the parent company itself is still in business today and no one calls it a pyramid. Buidling a business is a commitment.

Is YTB an illegal pyramid? No. Think about this. Gerry filed the suit against YTB the day before the National Convention. Hmmmmm. If that doesn’t say “political” then I don’t know what does. Second, if he truly had a viable complaint then why didn’t he file an immediate “cease and desist” order? In my opinion, he didn’t have it nor does he have it now. YTB is still in operation in California and California happens to be one of the fastest growing markets. I believe Gerry gave in to the pressures of YTB’s competion and a few bitter traditional travel agents.
