HotNews No. 131: KTC Global – A New Attempt at a Travel MLM Pyramid

Dear Clients,

A new player has appeared in the travel MLM (multi-level marketing) sector: KTC Global, which presents itself as a “travel discount” platform. On the surface, the system may appear legitimate, but analysis shows that KTC Global is in fact the latest iteration of the previous MLM project Kingdom Alliance, founded by Bobby and Michelle Schaffer.

Founders’ Background
Bobby and Michelle Schaffer have a long history in the MLM industry, including ventures such as NouVara (2011, skincare and dietary supplements), Isagenix, Girl Power Alliance, and Real Men Alliance. Kingdom Alliance was created in 2020 as a merger of these initiatives, and KTC Global is now its rebranded continuation, including the “Kingdom Travel Club.” Notably, KTC Global does not provide a corporate address on its website, and the login link redirects directly to the Kingdom Alliance website.

Products and Services
KTC Global does not offer tangible products or services to end consumers. The only offering is promoter membership, which provides access to a third-party travel booking engine of undisclosed origin and credibility. Actual travel benefits are minimal or non-existent – all commissions are earned through recruitment of new members.

Compensation Plan

• Basic promoter membership: $90 + $99.99 per month
• VIP promoter membership: $160 + $139.99 per month, including additional “travel coins” for bookings
• Commissions are paid when 200/400 GV (Group Volume) is matched within the binary team, which is generated entirely through recruitment
• The “double up” system allows promoters to create multiple binary positions with no depth limit
• Matching Bonus and Rank Achievement Bonuses further incentivize the recruitment of new promoters

Risks and Warnings
KTC Global is a classic MLM pyramid scheme. 100% of commissions are based on recruitment – there is no sale of products to end consumers. Once recruitment slows down, commissions stop, and lower-level members lose their investments. The platform operates identically to the previous Kingdom Alliance, whose collapse demonstrates the inherent instability of such systems.

Conclusion
KTC Global represents a high-risk opportunity. While members are promised travel discounts and other perks, in reality, profits are only possible through continuous recruitment. Transparency in marketing the pyramid does not make the system legal or safe.

For prospective promoters and investors, the key lesson is clear: always verify whether an MLM company sells actual products or services to end consumers. If revenue relies solely on recruitment, financial loss is highly likely and almost inevitable.

Participation in KTC Global carries a real risk of losing membership fees, and the long-term sustainability of the system is practically impossible.
