The Guarantee
Michael Cheney does not provide refunds for the Millionaire’s Apprentice Program because he “guarantees” that once you join, you will earn money, and if you don’t plan to use his methods, he will “force” you to make money. This is a significant red flag from a consumer protection standpoint, as it eliminates financial recourse if the program doesn’t deliver results.
However he does provide all the support and personal interaction to help you in the journey

Significant Concerns
Market Reality
Affiliate marketing is described as “an oversaturated business model” where “over 90% of beginner affiliates give up after realizing how much capital they need to maintain a website”. The reality is that success in affiliate marketing requires:
- Significant time investment
- Marketing skills development
- Understanding of target audiences
- Ability to generate consistent traffic
Therefore it is a business that you must continue to work at
Critical Reviews
Independent reviews reveal concerning patterns:
- G Pall from Quora purchased multiple courses from Michael Cheney and found tools were “either broken or difficult to use,” giving an overall score of 1.6 out of 5. I have used the AI millionaire program for nearly a year to write blogs and produce images .
- Questions about the sustainability of the “no website needed” approach
- Concerns about the realistic nature of earning $1,000 commissions on low-priced products. These concerns although real are dimiished by the consistent patten of commissions as high as $2000 being paid out

🥳👏Congrats to SPONSOR John H on an APPRENTICE SALE!
Congratulations to one of my Sponsors @John – you just got a sale of the APPRENTICE! And because you’re a full member of the NETBUCKS FAMILY, you keep the ful $1997 commission
Business Model Limitations
- Traffic dependency: Even with provided traffic, long-term success requires developing your own traffic generation skills
- Competition: The affiliate marketing space is highly competitive, with established marketers who have been successful for over 15 years
- Generic approach: Many similar programs offer identical strategies and tools. My take is that many of the similar programs are infact students of Michael. I am yet to find anyone that provides the level of support and education offered under his tutilage
The “Done-for-You” Reality
While the program provides templates and systems, true success requires:
- Understanding your target market
- Developing personal marketing skills
- Building relationships and trust
- Consistent content creation and promotion
- Adapting to market changes
Value Assessment
Positive Value
- Comprehensive training materials
- Active community support
- Mentorship access
- Pre-built marketing assets
- Structured learning challenges
Questionable Value
- High price point: $1,997 is substantial for what is essentially affiliate marketing training
- No refund policy: Eliminates financial protection for unsatisfied customers
- Oversaturated niche: Affiliate marketing has intense competition
- Sustainability concerns: Long-term success depends on skills not necessarily taught
Upsells and cross sells
There are consistent new ways to invest in additional training and services But, at a cost and only for top level entrants. The methods are generally to obtain new and better traffic. I opted out of the website because it did not perform for me but to be fair it was early days and has been made significantly better over time,
Bottom Line Recommendation
Approach with caution. While Michael Cheney has legitimate credentials and the program offers comprehensive materials, several red flags warrant serious consideration:
- No refund policy: This is highly unusual and concerning for a premium-priced program
- Unrealistic income claims: $1,000 commissions on low-priced products raise sustainability questions
- Market saturation: Affiliate marketing success requires more than templates and traffic
- Independent reviews: Mixed to negative feedback from sources outside Cheney’s ecosystem
Alternative Considerations
Before investing $1,997, consider:
- Starting with lower-cost affiliate marketing education
- Building skills organically through free resources
- Testing smaller programs with refund policies
- Focusing on developing unique value propositions rather than copy-paste methods
Note; Affiliate marketing is a continuously changing model and having access to the latest training and techniques and tools is necessary
Final Verdict
While the program offers comprehensive resources and has produced some success stories, the combination of high cost, no refund policy, and market realities make it a high-risk investment. The “done-for-you” promise may not translate to sustainable long-term success without developing fundamental marketing skills. This is not unlike any affiliate journey the difference here is that Michael Cheney holds your had for the long journey
Risk Level:Medium
This review is based on available public information and independent research. Individual results may vary, and this should not be considered financial advice.The review was sourced from AI to get an outside perspective. I paid the entry fee for Millionaires Apprentice and believe it is good value for the training and mentorshop provided. You get free access to every new product ( about three a year) and the ability to sell products in all price ranges
If you want a long term sustainable business this could be the model for you
