Hapi Journey is a derivative of The Blissful Co.
BehindMLM first reviewed Hapi Journey again in January. We have been initially confused as to Hapi Journey’s compensation plan, later discovering out it shared that of The Blissful Co’s.
This appeared cumbersome, owing to the corporate’s having totally different merchandise (dietary dietary supplements versus journey memberships).
Seems we have been on the cash, resulting in Hapi Journey spinning off with its personal compensation plan on or round July.
At present we’re revisiting Hapi Journey as a fully-fledged stand-alone MLM alternative.
Hapi Journey Company
Hapi Journey nonetheless don’t present company data on their web site.
This was a compliance drawback BehindMLM recognized in January, and it stays unresolved.
I went searching for company data on mum or dad firm web site The Blissful Co, there’s nonetheless none supplied there both.
BehindMLM first recognized this as an issue again in April 2021.
The selection to cover firm possession and government data from shoppers doesn’t replicate nicely on The Blissful Co’s and Hapi Journey’s administration.
So far as we all know, The Blissful Co remains to be owned by founder Fai Chan, aka Chan Heng Fai.
Again in January Garrett McGrath was working as CEO of each The Blissful Co. and Hapi Journey. Having solely been appointed to the function in late 2021, it appears someday after January 2022 McGrath cut up.
There’s no point out of McGrath in a September 1st press-release, saying the launch of Hapi Journey within the US (Hapi Journey already launched within the US final yr so I’m unsure what this advertising and marketing nonsense is about).
Named executives within the press-release are:
- John Thatch – CEO of Sharing Providers World Company (mum or dad firm)
- Dave Dove – Vice President of Hapi Journey and
- Dave Worth – Operations Director of Hapi Journey
Whether or not Thatch can also be CEO of Hapi Journey is unclear.
Replace eleventh September 2022 – Within the remark under, Hapi Travels distributor Jeremy Jenkins has confirmed John Thatch is Hapi Journey’s interim CEO.
Presumably Thatch will maintain this place until a brand new Hapi Journey CEO is discovered. When or why McGrath left stays unaddressed. /finish replace

Hapi Journey Conclusion
Hapi Journey is a extra streamlined providing than what was accessible in January 2022.
We don’t know who’s operating the corporate, there’s now just one membership possibility, and The Blissful Co’s “this doesn’t actually match” compensation plan is gone.
Whereas Hapi Journey’s membership beforehand value $59 a month, it’s been dropped to $50 a month. The beforehand cheaper $29 a month possibility can also be gone.
So far as I can inform the providing is generally the identical, maybe minus Koiyn Money Again?
Hapi Journey’s simplified compensation plan’s weakest level is there being no requirement for retail Explorer membership gross sales.
This implies you may pay $25, join Explorer at $50 a month and receives a commission to recruit others who do the identical.
This might be your basic MLM pyramid scheme.
One thing I haven’t seen addressed wherever is whether or not Hapi Journey associates are required to buy and preserve an Explorer membership.
Regardless, if nearly all of Explorer memberships are held by Hapi Journey associates, this might affirm the corporate is working as a pyramid scheme.
Establishing whether or not your potential Hapi Journey upline is operating their enterprise as a pyramid scheme is simple.
Ask what Membership tier they’ve certified for, see what number of private memberships they’re required to promote to qualify, and ask what number of of these memberships are retail memberships (memberships offered to individuals who haven’t paid the $25 Hapi Journey affiliate price).
If the ratio is something lower than a 50/50 cut up, that affiliate is operating their Hapi Journey enterprise as a pyramid scheme.
I can’t say whether or not that is the case company-wide, however the intentional vagueness and lack of retail membership necessities would definitely counsel so.
Between Hapi Journey’s ongoing disclosure points, rudderless administration and a query mark over retail gross sales compliance, I don’t assume Hapi Journey is prepared for (re)launch.
