ACN discontinues perks, Team National left with “no value”
Last month ACN announced it would be disabling perks, aka “loyalty rewards”.
The announcement, presented in the ACN backoffice, details the discontinuation of perks starting November 10th.
ACN’s perks were made available to members and provided discounts at various third-party companies.
Specific categories within ACN’s perks were “play”, “shop” and “dine”.
One particularly disturbing aspect of ACN discontinuing perks is they were advertised as having “no expiration… ever”
Another disturbing aspect of the announcement ties into Team National, which ACN acquired in January 2022.
Team National’s MLM offering primarily revolved around discount memberships, and that carried over when ACN bought the company.
One BehindMLM reader, originally a Team National member who continued on with ACN, described ACN disabling perks as their Team National membership transitioning to “nothing”.
My husband bought “us” a Team National membership (I wanted nothing to do with it) for $2200. It was a “Lifetime Family Membership”. There is now no value in it that I can find.
This has affected thousands of people and isn’t right!
Spending $2200 for a “lifetime membership” only to have it pulled does indeed seem incredibly suss.
Not sure if there’ll be an FTC case to answer for but it does seem Team National members were pitched on “lifetime membership”, and ACN itself claimed perks have “no expiration… ever”.
As BehindMLM understands it ACN hasn’t offered members any financial compensation.
I want my 2200.00 back, ACN bought out team national and now doesn’t honor my login or perks.
We need to have a class action suit to get our money back.
I want my money back as well …never even used it ( waste of 2000$ ) now i find out its useless … wow im really upset now.
Definitely I want refund $2200 simg acn doent offer to Team national members who paid Life time membership.
It was Bob business so they owe us refund.
I want my 2200.00 back as well.
I had a huge leg I my right side. No perks with ACN is too convenient for Upper Level Executives during such a critical time if TM transition.
Withdrawing the Perks like ACN is simply doing at this juncture, just jeopardizes any real opportunities for TN MD rollovers.
The transition as a result of this “Perk” pulling is disingenuous and nothing short of a bait and switch scenario. I want my 2200.00 back as well!! Jpf
We purchased a lifetime membership in TN.
We were assured this would be honored in the 2022 buy out – take over. The real perks were few in reality.
We rented cars through Enterprise and got excellent discounts. Does not make up for $2200.
I don’t expect anything now, but plan on educating as many people as possible against these type of businesses. Stay out of my state.
We purchased a lifetime in 2002. I can even find in recent information. Are there any perks left? I would like a refund.
If you want a refund you’d have to contact the entity you’re paying money to.
Running around randomly on the internet demanding a refund isn’t going to get you far, regardless of the company.
I have been trying to find out what and where TN was, now after digging into research I’m finding out about the sham. I would like my family life time money back as well.
I bought the life time $2200 was promised it would transfer over (which it did in the beginning).
I had gift cards I was saving with money on then went to print them off they are gone!!!
I heard thru a friend that lost theirs also that anything was taken away ! Another friend in it lost thousands on the gift cards they were saving to use at Christmas.
Not really surprising as any MLM of which I’ve participated keeps the top transitioning 2% or so in the money so they can keep the spin going to help pull their followers into the next MLM.
They get their prior top performers to transition, then the rest can be cut loose. That’s happens in regular businesses, too. But, in terms of openness and honesty, portrayal by Angela as a compassionate and passionate Christian might be a bit tarnished by this latest direction taken by ACN.
Been there myself, when life was all about me. That’s why I no longer support the MLM concept as it too easily allows people to lose sight of what they could really achieve for others, and the focus becomes overwhelmingly about self.
I want my $2195. back on my lifetime membership along with my grandmother that was trying to leave something for her grandchildren and future grandchildren.
Totally disappointed. I like to be consider to be apart of filing a lawsuit.
Cool. Go see a lawyer.
I knew i should have not taken the lifetime!! I used my membership once only joined lifetime figuring I would us it in the future, so here i am finding out their gone with no letter or email even to let me know about the dam buy out!!!! WTF (to good to be true!)
$2200 and now I gota go tell my wife and she was against me getting lifetime DAM!!! let me know if anything is done in the future i wouldnt even know how to start a class action suit.
You start by finding a law firm that specializes in Class Action Lawsuits. They can determine what are the odds of being able to get a class action suit filed and the odds of being successful.
You also need to report them to your country’s financial services department. All you have to do is Google what agency handles investment securities fraud. You also need to get as many people as possible to file a complaint with the authorities.
The more who file, the better the odds the regulatory agency might take action. One thing is for certain, if you do not file, nothing will be done. You have to have complaints to get an investigation started. It’s that simple.
This company did get 795.00 from me, but I didn’t sign up for the 2195.00. I couldn’t afford it.
It sounded great in the beginning, but when you run out of people to join you try to a least get something from the savings program.
I never got that back. So I pretty much gave them 795.00.
Me too. $2000.00 for “lifetime” ? Notify me.
@Lynndel
I would sign up for a class action suit. Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure that the CEO was a made-up person.
The reason I say that is I have these customers that came to me out of the blue several years. several years ago. and just as soon as one of them passed away. that was when the whole thing came down.
I mean, a week and a half later I’m pretty sure that those two individuals put this whole thing together. Sad but it seems that all you have to do to con somebody is make them believe whatever reality you want them to, and never let them see behind the curtain.
So when they convinced a handful of people. to give them some money, Then those people go and convince a handful of people to give money and suddenly there’s this whole group of people that you’re going to love and you’re going to meet, and they’re all having this big to do right over here. And it’s going to be a big thing and we’re all going to get together…
You just keep talking and it just keeps turning into stuff, evidently.
