Well, then if this is not a pyramid scheme, then maybe you could explain to me why one cannot even register at the site without a referral link? That right there is a huge big red waving flag! What kind of site requires that you have a referral link in order to just register?!! I've been researching rewards sites, and survey sites, and focus group sites, shopping for points (rewards) sites, paid-to click/read/whatever sites, for the last 11 years, so don't tell me I don't know anything about Shop2Earn. Belieeeeeeve me, I have put hours into researching the site. A woman who is a member is right down the street from me, and I spent plenty of time talking to her about how she felt about her experience with Shop2Earn. I was astounded to learn that she spent over $3,000 of her own money, for her business, just to earn less than $12 back! Come on, you have got to be kidding? She got her husband to sign up, to "earn a portal" and it cost $400, just so she could earn $100? GET REAL! This woman is crazy to spend money like this, and the stuff she bought she could have bought at walmart for much cheaper, a heck of a lot cheaper!! Or at Amazon! Or anywhere!!! This is like buying $20 lightbulbs just to earn a few cents back, when you could have bought them for $1 elsewhere and saved yourself a lot of money! You cannot convince me otherwise. SORRY!!!
