Save Club operates in the subscription membership MLM niche.

No corporate address is provided on Save Club’s website. That said, Save Club’s official FaceBook page points to a street address in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Heading up Save Club is founder and CEO Charles Mui (right).

Mui, also based out of Las Vegas, is a former Foru International executive (Director of Digital Marketing). Marketing a range of purported DNA-targeting supplements, Foru International was sold to LaCore Enterprises in 2018.

Mui also runs Nano Cove, a hemp/CBD supplement manufacturer.

Save Club’s Products

Save Club’s markets $19.97 a month access to a purported discount platform.

Our extensive discount network means you get access to exclusive savings on everything you need-whether it’s a quick lunch, a shopping spree, or even that dream vacation.

It’s unclear whether Save Club’s discount platform is functional. “View deals” buttons on Save Club’s website don’t do anything at time of publication.

Save Club’s Compensation Plan

Save Club pays on the sale of $19.97 subscriptions to retail customers and recruited affiliates.

In the case of affiliate subscribers, recruitment commissions on a $60 joining fee are also paid out.

Recruitment Commissions

Save Club pays a 25% recruitment commission.

Residual Recruitment Commissions

Save Club pays residual recruitment commissions via a unilevel compensation structure.

A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):

If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.

If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.

Save Club caps payable unilevel team levels at six.

Recruitment commissions are paid as a percentage of fees newly recruited affiliates pay across these six levels based on rank:

  • 1 Star – 5% on level 1 (personally recruited affiliates)
  • 2 Star – 4% on levels 1 and 2
  • 3 Star – 3% on levels 1 to 3
  • 4 Star – 2% on levels 1 to 4
  • 5 Star – 1% on levels 1 to 5

Note that the above residual recruitment commissions are coded. This means that higher ranked affiliates earn the difference between their rate and lower-ranked affiliates.

Coded residual commission rates range from 15% on level 1 to 1% on level 5.

Residual Commissions

Save Club pays residual commissions via a 2×16 matrix.

A 2×16 matrix places an affiliate at the top of a matrix, with two positions directly under them:

These two positions form the first level of the matrix. The second level of the matrix is generated by splitting these first two positions into another two positions each.

Levels three to sixteen of the matrix are generated in the same manner, with each new level housing twice as many positions as the previous level.

Residual commissions are paid as a percentage of $19.97 a month fees paid by retail customers and recruited affiliates:

  • non-ranked affiliates earn 2.5% on levels 1 to 12
  • 1 Stars earn 2.5% on levels 1 to 13
  • 2 Stars earn 2.5% on levels 1 to 14
  • 3 Stars earn 2.5% on levels 1 to 15
  • 4 Stars and higher earn 2.5% on levels 1 to 16

Joining Save Club

Save Club affiliates membership is $79.97 and then $19.97 a month.

Save Club Conclusion

Save Club is your typical recruitment scheme with a pseudo retail offering attached.

The crux of Save Club is whether more active discount platform membership are held by affiliates or retail customers.

If it isn’t retail customers, Save Club is operating as a pyramid scheme. This also takes place at the micro level, meaning each and every Save Club affiliate has to have more retail subscribers over recruited affiliate subscribers.

Based on the discount platform section of Save Club’s website being broken, and generally when recruitment commissions are on offer they being the focus, it’s strongly suspected Save Club operates as a pyramid scheme.

This perhaps isn’t surprising, given Save Club appears to be modelled on Ben Glinsky’s LiveGood pyramid scheme.

Like Save Club, LiveGood markets membership access to discounted supplements. LiveGood has thus far failed to maintain a market in any country it has spread to, lending credibility to it failing to have retained a sizable retail customer base.

Tellingly, neither LiveGood or Save Club publish active membership ratios between retail customers and recruited affiliates.

Also tellingly, neither LiveGood or Save Club have retail membership requirements. Nor do they pay anything on the sale of actual products or services.

The good news is establishing whether you’re about to join an MLM pyramid scheme is easy. Ask your potential Save Club upline how many active retail subscribers they have, followed by how many active recruited affiliate subscribers they have.

Ideally you’re looking for more retail subscribers than recruited affiliates. If it’s not at least a 1:1 ratio, that affiliate is operating their Save Club MLM business as a pyramid scheme.

Unfortunately with respect to LiveGood, the FTC appears to be asleep at the wheel.

LiveGood initially launched in the US and then promptly collapsed. The scheme spread elsewhere in the world, going to on eventually collapse elsewhere.

Presently LiveGood has seen a resurgence in the US. Save Club website traffic is not that far off LiveGood’s, suggesting there might be a high percentage of commonality between LiveGood and Save Club recruitment.
