Welcome to my Jifu Review.
One of the things that we are going to answer today is if Jifu is a scam or not.
We wouldn’t want to join a program that ends up shutting down a few months down the road due to non-compliance or bad business decision reasons.
We are going to research and review the information about the company, the products, and the compensation plan to see how it really works and if it is worth joining.
We decided to take a closer look at Jifu due to the growing interest we have seen in the social media websites that we are part of.
With that said, let’s get started with our overview.
Jifu Review – What Is It?
Jifu is an MLM company that offers a membership for their discount Travel portal.
The portal offers discounts on cruises, hotels, airfare, and travel activities.
With the program being designed as an MLM opportunity, people can join as an affiliate member and make money by selling the service and by building a team of other affiliate members.
Company Overview
One of the things that we like to see when reviewing an MLM company is to find information on the website about the owner.
This gives the potential members the ability to research the background and experience that the owner has to make a better decision on whether or not they should join or not.
Jifu is run by co-founders Jeffery Boyle as the CEO and Bradley Boyle as the President.
After Boyle graduated from the University of Idaho in 2006, he started an MLM company called Jus International.
Boyle resigned as the CEO from Jus International in 2009 and in 2011 Jus International’s business model was changed from an MLM company to a strictly retail-based company.
It really sucked for the members that were building a team in that company where their income all dropped.
After he resigned from Jus International in 2011 he became the CEO and President of a company called Sanki Global in 2013.
Boyle stayed on as the CEO for Sanki Global until 2015 and in 2018, he started Jifu.
Although the history that we dug up on Boyle seems to be in management roles only in the MLM industry, he claims that he is a Network Marketing Star on his personal website.
He also offers training and coaching that we have found that includes his services on Boyle Network.
Either way, that is all of the information that we found about the company information.
Let’s continue.

What Products Does Jifu Offer?
In this section of the review, we are going to check out the products that Jifu offers.
Jifu actually offers a service that they call their discount Travel Portal membership.
It is actually a travel booking engine similar to sites like Travelocity and Priceline.
The claim to fame is that the company says it offers the same hotels, rentals, and the same resorts as all of the major travel site booking engines.
The way it works is if you are completely new, you will have to first obtain your referring affiliates’ details so that when you click on the “join as a member” button on the page so that you can proceed to the next step.
Once you are in, you will be presented with some membership options that will range from $40 to $1000.
This option is if you want to become an affiliate member and earn commissions by selling the memberships.
There is also a customer-only option, which is truthfully hard to tell that it is the actual customer-only option.
The company labels this option as their “Jifu Executive Travelers Club Membership”.
The cost for the retail option is a one-time $50 fee for the first month and then $25 per month.
If you understand how and what those popular discount travel booking engines offer like Expedia and the others that I’ve mentioned above, then it is basically the same service that you will get with the Jifu membership.
With that said, that is all there is to the products that Jifu offers, let’s continue.

How Does The Jifu Compensation Plan Work?
In this section of the review, we are going to take a look at how the compensation plan works and how you can make money with the Jifu opportunity.
Getting Started
The first thing you have to do is join as one of the affiliate memberships.
After you join, you will make money by selling the retail membership along with selling membership to people that want to become an affiliate members.
Becoming an affiliate member is the first step to qualify to earn commissions with the compensation plan that the Jifu company offers.
One of the things that you want to keep an eye on is your rank.
The higher that you rank in Jifu’s compensation plan will mean the more ways that you can make money in the pay plan and overall, earn more money.
Ranks and Qualifications
There are a total of 12 ranks that you can qualify for in Jifu.
In order to reach the higher ranks, you will need to qualify with certain criteria that Jifu has put in place that include things like certain personally recruited members and sales volume.
Here is a breakdown of each rank and the qualifications you will need to reach them:
- Manager Rank – To qualify for this rank you will need to join or upgrade to the Silver pack or higher, personally recruit 2 retail customers or members and generate and maintain at least 500 CP per week on your weaker binary leg.
- Manager Rank – To qualify for this rank you will need to maintain and personally recruit 2 affiliate members or customers and generate at least 1000 CP volume on your weaker binary leg per week.
- Manager 3 Rank – To qualify for this rank you will need to maintain and personally recruit 4 affiliate members or customers and generate at least 2000 CP volume on your weaker binary leg per week.
- Manager 4 Rank – To qualify for this rank you will need to maintain and personally recruit 4 affiliate members or customers and generate at least 4000 CP volume on your weaker binary leg per week.
- Director Rank – To qualify for this rank you will need to either sign up or upgrade to the Diamond pack, and personally, recruit 6 affiliate members or customers and generate at least 8000 CP volume on your weaker binary leg per week.
- Director 2 Rank – To qualify for this rank you will need to maintain and personally recruit 6 affiliate members or customers and generate at least 20,000 CP volume on your weaker binary leg per week.
- Director 3 Rank – To qualify for this rank you will need to maintain and personally recruit 8 affiliate members or customers and generate at least 40,000 CP volume on your weaker binary leg per week.
- Director 4 Rank – To qualify for this rank you will need to maintain and personally recruit 8 affiliate members or customers and generate at least 80,000 CP volume on your weaker binary leg per week.
- Executive Rank – To qualify for this rank you will need to either sign up or upgrade later to the Diamond pack, and maintain and personally recruit 2 affiliate members or customers and generate at least 200,000 CP volume on your weaker binary leg per week.
- Executive 2 Rank – To qualify for this rank you will need to maintain and personally recruit 16 affiliate members or customers and generate at least 400,000 CP volume on your weaker binary leg per week.
- Ambassador Rank – To qualify for this rank you will need to maintain and personally recruit 20 affiliate members or customers and generate at least 600,000 CP volume on your weaker binary leg per week.
- Ambassador 2 Rank – To qualify for this rank you will need to maintain and personally recruit 24 affiliate members or customers and generate at least 1,000,000 CP volume on your weaker binary leg per week.
As you noticed in the qualifications, I mentioned that customers and members must “maintain” a certain amount of members or customers at many of the levels.
If anyone should cancel or not maintain their monthly membership cost and your number falls under the required amount of recruited members or customers, you will not qualify for that rank anymore and will be demoted to the previous rank as long as you meet all of these qualifications as well.
Also, we mentioned the acronym “CP”.
CP is a term used by Jufu that means “commissionable points” which are the total points earned from you and your team member and customer sales.
Retail Commissions
Jifu also offers you a commission when you sell a membership to a customer.
The retail commissions from a customer sale will be $25.
Additionally, you will earn $5 (starting on month 2) for every month they stay on as a customer and for the duration that your customer maintains their monthly membership.
Jifu affiliates earn $25 for a membership sold to a retail customer.
Recruiting Commissions
Along with the retail commissions that you can earn, Jifu also pays you for recruiting new affiliate members as well.
The company will pay you a specific amount for the level of membership level that you sell along with awarding you with “commissionable points”.
Commissionable Points are simply the points awarded as you or your team recruit someone that purchases either the Gold, Platinum, or Diamond level packs.
In the case when you or someone on your team recruits a “Silver Pack” affiliate, the commissions are paid on 2 levels only which will be $50 on your level 1 which are personally recruited sales, and $10 earned when your personally recruited members sell a Silver Pack membership.
When you or your team sells a Gold, Platinum, or Diamond pack, you will earn a percentage of the purchase and also commissionable points.
Here is a breakdown of what that looks like:
- When you recruit a Gold pack affiliate member you will earn 350 CP in volume.
- When you recruit a Platinum pack affiliate member you will earn 550 CP in volume.
- When you recruit a Diamond pack affiliate member you will earn 950 CP in volume.
Here are the commission breakdown rates that you will earn for the sale of a Starter, Silver, Platinum, and Diamond pack membership:
- Recruit someone that purchases the Starter pack and earn 10% from that purchase.
- Recruit someone that purchases the Silver pack and earn 20% from that purchase.
- Recruit someone that purchases the Platinum pack and earn 25% from that purchase.
- Recruit someone that purchases the Diamond pack and earn 30% from that purchase.
For the members that join at either the Platinum or Diamond pack, you will earn the above percentages for 6 months from the time you sign up.
In order to continue to earn the 25% and 30% commissions above for Platinum and Diamond members, you will need to qualify for the rank of Manager 4 or Director 4.
If you are unsuccessful at reaching Manager 4 or Director 4 after a 6 month time period, 25% will drop to 20% and 30% will drop to 25%.
Residual Commissions (binary)
Jifu also offers residual commissions that are paid out every month starting on month 2 when qualified.
The company uses a Binary MLM compensation plan where in order to start earning commissions from the binary, you will need to personally recruit and maintain a member on your left leg and also on your right leg for a total of at least 2 members.
You are also required to reach the rank of Manager.
This is the basic requirement for all binary compensation plans.
Here is an additional breakdown to further breakdown how the binary compensation plan works:
- Binaries have only 2 legs or 2 positions on level 1.
- Each level will have 2 positions under the next right and left position.
- You can only build on the outside of either of your binary legs.
- You can build either leg to unlimited depth
- The leg that has fewer sales will be considered your pay leg (can fluctuate at any time)
- You are required to personally “and maintain” 1 member on both legs to qualify to earn commissions from the binary compensation plan.
- Either leg can be built by direct and indirect sponsoring.
The way that they pay out the commissions through the binary is by counting up all of the CP volumes from your left leg, and then count up all of the CP volumes from your right leg.
They pay your commissions using the binary leg that has fewer CP volume points.
The number of commissions that you can earn on any volume will be determined by your qualified rank and be paid by a percentage.
Here is a breakdown of what you will earn from the binary each month depending on your qualified rank in the company:
- Manager Rank through Manager 4 Rank – When you are qualified at these ranks, you will earn a 15% residual commission percentage rate.
- Director Rank and Higher – When you are qualified at these ranks, you will earn a 20% residual commission percentage rate.
When the company pays out your commissions for the week, the CP volume points will be flushed out.
For example, if you have 1000 CP on one leg and 2500 on the other after you earn your commission, the volume will be flushed and you are left with 1500 on one leg and zero on the other.
The volume is replenished when new members join your team and every time one of your team members renews their monthly membership.
Matching Bonus Commissions
Jifu also offers Matching Bonus commissions as part of their compensation plan.
Matching bonus commissions are paid out using the unilevel compensation plan.
For those that are not familiar with how the unilevel compensation plan works, here is a quick breakdown:
- 1st Level – The first level of your unilevel compensation plan will only have your personally recruited members on it.
- 2nd Level – The second level of your unilevel compensation plan will only have team members that your level 1 levels personally recruited on it.
- 3rd Level – The third level of your unilevel compensation plan will only have team members that your level 2 levels personally recruited on it.
- and so on…
The matching bonus is based on your team member’s binary commissions starting at level one of your unilevel compensation plan.
You can start earning Matching Bonus commissions when you reach the rank of Manager 2 and above.
Here is a breakdown of what you can earn with the Matching Bonus commissions that the company pays you.
- Manager 2 Rank – When you are qualified at this rank, you will earn a 20% match on your level 1 members.
- Manager 4 Rank – When you are qualified at this rank, you will earn a 20% match on level 1 and 15% on level 2 members.
- Director Rank – When you are qualified at this rank, you will earn a 20% match on level 1, 15% on level 2 and 10% on level 3 members.
- Director 2 Rank – When you are qualified at this rank, you will earn a 20% match on level 1, 15% on level 2, 10% on level 3 and 5% on level 4 members.

You are probably asking yourself, so what is TRC?
TRC simply means Travel Reward Credits.
The Travel Reward Credits that you earn can only be used through the JIFU Travel Portal for products and services.
Jetsetter Bonus
The Jetsetter Bonus is another bonus that you can earn with Jifu that also has to do with Travel Reward Credits.
Basically, it is a 15% march on the TRC earned with your team’s residual commissions.
The company sets a limit on the amount that you can earn per week of 60,000 which is equivalent to $600.
When you accumulate 1 million 2 hundred thousand TRC points you will be able to use it on anything that Jifu offers in their Travel Portal which will include Flights, Rental Cars, Hotels, and more.
Leadership Bonus Pools
This bonus is reserved for the higher ranks in the company.
The company sets aside 1% of the total company profit to pay out affiliate members that qualify for this bonus.
The company has 3 Leadership Bonus Pools that you can earn from.
The way to earn a piece of the pool is by earning shares for 1 of the pools, the higher the rank, the more shares you will earn, or the higher pool you can qualify to earn from.
These bonus pools are divided with everyone else that qualifies.
Here is a look at how to earn shares for each of the three Leadership bonus pools that Jifu offers:
- Director Rank – When you qualify for this rank you will get 1 share in the Director pool.
- Director 2 Rank – When you qualify for this rank you will get 2 shares in the Director pool.
- Director 3 Rank – When you qualify for this rank you will get 3 shares in the Director pool.
- Director 4 Rank – When you qualify for this rank you will get 4 shares in the Director pool.
- Executives Rank – When you qualify for this rank you will get 1 share in the Executive pool.
- Executive 2 – When you qualify for this rank you will get 2 shares in the Executive pool.
- Ambassadors – When you qualify for this rank you will get 1 share in the Ambassador pool.
- Ambassador 2 – When you qualify for this rank you will get 2 shares in the Ambassador pool.
One of the things that should be noted is that the company will not pay out this bonus unless the company reaches at least $1 million in member sales revenue each month.
I guess you have to take their word for it when you reach that level.
That is all there is to how the compensation plan works and how you can make money with the Jifu opportunity, let’s continue.

My Jifu Q and A Section
In this section of the review, we are going to answer some of the questions that people may have when thinking about joining the Jifu opportunity.
Is Jifu Accredited With The BBB?
No, Jifu is not accredited with the Better Business Bureau at this time.
However, it might be listed at some time in the future.
Not having accreditation with the BBB does not make a company legit or a scam.
There have been a ton of companies that we found not listed on the BBB that was 100% legitimate and have been running for years.
What Is The Cost To Join Jifu?
The minimum cost to join Jofu is $100 for the affiliate membership.
The range in cost is anywhere from $100 to $1,000 and then a monthly fee which the amount per month will depend on the level that you join.
Here is a breakdown of the cost to join along with the monthly fee:
- Silver Affiliate Pack – At this pack level, the cost to join is $100 with a monthly membership cost of $30 per month.
- Gold Affiliate Pack – At this pack level, the cost to join is $400 with a monthly membership cost of $40 per month.
- Platinum Affiliate Pack – At this pack level, the cost to join is $600 with a monthly membership cost of $80 per month.
- Diamond Affiliate Pack – At this pack level, the cost to join is $1000 with a monthly membership cost of $120 per month.
The higher membership levels will include more money that you can earn through the Jifu compensation plan and more benefits through the Travel Portal that the company offers that include things like travel buddy vouchers.
There is another level of affiliate membership which is the Entry Affiliate Pack for $40.
This pack level only offers retail and recruitment commissions at a limit of 2 unilevel levels.
The cost for a customer will be a one-time $50 for the first month and then $25 per month.
In the next section, we are going to answer the question that many of you have been waiting for which is…
Is Jifu A Scam or Legitimate Opportunity?
In my opinion, no, Jifu is not a scam, and here is why:
- The company has a good management team
- The company offers a good product
- The company offers a fair compensation plan
- The company offers retail products
The company offers everything they need in order to be an MLM company that is in compliance.

My Final Jifu Review, Thoughts, and Bonus
In the final section of my review, I am going to share my final thoughts about the Jifu opportunity as a whole.
We have taken the time to review the information about the company, the products, and the compensation plan.
We also shared our thoughts about why we didn’t think that Jifu is a scam and gave our reasons why.
At this point, you should have a great idea about what Jifu is, what it offers, how it works, and how to make money with it.
What are your thoughts about it up to this point?
But here is the question…
Would we recommend the Jifu opportunity?
As far as it is a legitimate opportunity, then yes, we would.
One of the trends that we have seen over the years is the Travel MLM companies not having as much appeal and not getting the attention that they used to get many years ago.
If I were to make a decision on just those stats alone, then no, I wouldn’t recommend it.
But in any case, the company does not have any red flags that we could find.
With that said, I hope you enjoyed my Jifu review.
