It helped Visa cut back on the fraud when they started charging $750 to apply for visa processing and 350 a year to renew

What is funny and not so funny anymore is that I have half joked with a few people online about making my invite only program into a paid one where affiliates would pay a one time fee to join it after an approval process. Primarily just to screen out those undesired people and keeping it very limited. Plus I figured the sheer drama would be funny as hell.
Never even contemplated doing it MLM style though, guess I just do not have it in me.
In this instance, it does not seem like they are screening anyone though. Anyone with a few bucks and a contact list can sign up. Side note - I have already been hit up on ICQ about 60 times since yesterday. I also was offered this or a very similar program about a month ago when it was in beta. So please stop hitting me up.
