Travelution Review: Sixth Mavie Global Ponzi spinoff
Travelution, not to be confused with Dave Manning’s MLM company bearing the same name, is the sixth spinoff of the Mavie Global Ponzi scheme.
Travelution has been set up on the website domain (“travelution.ai”), privately registered on October 8th, 2024.
While Travelution features on Mavie Global’s website…
…there is no mention of Mavie Global or CEO Michael Prazenica on Travelution’s website.
Travelution’s Products
Travelution markets retail membership for 240 USDC annually or 720 USDC for a lifetime membership.
Other than the usual third-party discounts (provider(s) not disclosed), Travelution claims to have an “AI City Guide”, “AI Map” and “AI Concierge”.
Payments made through Travelution also generate MyLife points.
No specifics are provided but Travelution’s website states that MyLife points can be “use[d] to discount attractions, stays, and more.”
Travelution’s Compensation Plan
The MLM side of Travelution pays on recruitment of affiliates.
It should be noted that Travelution only pays out 70% of earned commissions.
20% of the remaining 30% is awarded in MyLife points. The remaining 10% is put towards “BonusHub”.
BonusHub is not defined in Travelution’s marketing materials, on its website or on Mavie Global’s website.

There are eighteen affiliate ranks within Travelution’s compensation plan.
Along with their respective qualification criteria, they are as follows:

Note that Travelution fails to disclose rank qualification criteria.
Recruitment Commissions
Traveluition pays a 7% referral commission on affiliate membership fees paid by personally recruited affiliates.
Fast Start Bonus
Travelution affiliates receive a 50% refund on their paid membership if they recruit five affiliates who sign up at the same affiliate membership tier.
Residual Commissions
Mavie Global pays residual commissions via a binary compensation structure.
A binary compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a binary team, split into two sides (left and right):
The first level of the binary team houses two positions. The second level of the binary team is generated by splitting these first two positions into another two positions each (4 positions).
Subsequent levels of the binary team are generated as required, with each new level housing twice as many positions as the previous level.
Positions in the binary team are filled via direct and indirect recruitment of affiliates. Note there is no limit to how deep a binary team can grow.
At the end of the unspecified pay period (typically daily or weekly), Travelution tallies up new membership volume on both sides of the binary team.
Although not explicitly specified, this is believed to be both recruited affiliate and retail Travelution membership sales.
Residual commissions are paid out as 10% of new membership volume on the weaker binary team side.
Matching Bonus
Travelution’s compensation plan details a Matching Bonus, paid out down to seven levels.
This is assumed to be paid on residual commissions, however no Matching Bonus specifics are provided.
Revenue Share
Travelution takes 27% of company-wide revenue and uses it to fund affiliate membership bonus pools:
- Silver tier affiliates receive a share in a 2% bonus pool
- Gold tier affiliates receive a share in a 3% bonus pool
- Platinum tier affiliates receive a share in a 7% bonus pool
- Ultra VIP tier affiliates receive a share in a 15% bonus pool
An additional bonus pool share is awarded when affiliate membership fees are renewed annually.

Travelution Conclusion
If I didn’t know any better, I’d say Travelution is a repurposing of Mavie Global original compensation plan. This is likely due to Ultron, Mavie Global’s original Ponzi scheme, collapsing in June 2024.
I’m basing this primarily on Travelution’s ranks, matching bonus and binary residual commissions, which are identical to Mavie Global’s Ultron Ponzi.
Travelution is otherwise your typical discount travel services MLM pyramid scheme that has nothing to do with travel.
Commissions in Travelution are paid on membership fees, with affiliates forced to purchase and maintain travel memberships.
Retail is possibly but only contributes to residual commissions (note this isn’t confirmed in Travelution’s compensation documentation). Everything else pays on Travelution affiliate recruitment.
Travelution marks the sixth Mavie Global Ponzi spinoff. The previously launched Lottoday, 369X, FlipMe, FinUp and BigWhale, have all gone nowhere after launch.
BigWhale, launched in August 2024, was down to just ~450 monthly website visits as of February 2025 (as tracked by SimilarWeb).
Mavie Global’s own website traffic declined throughout 2024. As of February 2025 there’s been a renewed recruitment spike of 33% website traffic from Ukraine (up 37% month on month), 20% from Japan (up 170% month on month) and 7% from Chile (up 97% month on month).
Mavie Global has continued to decline in all other markets and overall, with SimilarWeb tracking 36,600 monthly Mavie Global website visits as of February 2025 (up 111% month on month due to the recruitment spike).
It’s expected Mavie Global will return to a decline once new suckers in Ukraine, Japan and Chile run out.
Beyond that, Travelution adds yet another layer of potential losses across six layers of losses in previous Mavie Global schemes (Ultron, Lottoday, FlipMe, FinUp and BigWhale).
On the regulatory front Mavie Global has received fraud warnings from Russia, Canada, New Zealand and Spain.
As each Mavie Global spinoff draws from a smaller pool of victims, it’s unclear how long CEO Michael Prazenica can keep the scam going.
Originally from Europe, Prazenica runs Mavie Global and its spinoffs from Dubai.
Specific to Travelution; regardless of short-term growth in a few countries, math guarantees when a pyramid scheme collapses the majority of participants lose money.
