Original Npros business profile for ROI Unlimited, preserved below for archival purposes:

ROI Unlimited was a travel-membership and network-marketing company founded by Fred Schwartz and Brian Spangler in October 2010. The company initially operated from Arizona and later listed an address in Boise, Idaho. ROI Unlimited marketed itself as a membership club that combined discounted travel services with an income opportunity for participants who sold memberships and recruited additional members. The Better Business Bureau classified the company as a multilevel-sales business and identified Schwartz and Spangler as its founders.

Members received access to the ROI Travel Portal, which advertised discounted hotels, rental cars and limousine services, cruises, vacation condominiums, and other travel benefits. The company also promoted a lowest-rate guarantee for online hotel reservations. Benefits varied according to the membership package purchased, with higher-priced packages adding condominium and cruise-related discounts.

ROI Unlimited used a company-wide, cycling matrix compensation plan with three purchase levels. The $250 Driver Board package paid a $25 direct-sales commission. Completing a Driver Board cycle generated a stated $500 cycle bonus and a paid $1,000 entry into the Accelerator Board. Participants could also enter the Accelerator Board directly by purchasing a $1,000 package, which paid a $100 direct commission and advertised a $5,000 cycle bonus with an automatic $1,000 reentry. The highest level, the $3,500 Power Board, paid a $100 direct commission and advertised a $20,000 cycle bonus with a paid $3,500 reentry. Sponsor-cycle bonuses ranged from $100 to $2,000 depending on the sponsor's board level.

The plan was described as a 2-by-3 "follow-me" matrix. Participants were placed into available positions beneath existing members, advanced as boards filled, and could follow their sponsors into higher boards. Although travel discounts were packaged with each purchase, much of the advertised earning potential came from board cycling, new membership purchases, sponsor bonuses, and automatic reentries rather than commissions on individual hotel, cruise, or rental-car reservations.
