You shouldn't stay away from gifting programs just because someone considers them to be illegal. What does "considered illegal" really mean anyway? Does it mean that you're going to be arrested? Are the cops going to come knocking on your door at 1 AM and haul you away because you're affiliated with a gifting program? You and tens of thousands of others! One has a better chance of being struck by lightning during a Michigan snowstorm in January.

Promoted correctly, without fraud or missrepresentation, gifting programs
operate quietly and effectively for years. Its when a bad apple or two
get greedy and start saying/doing things that cause a whole activity to suffer. (Your reference to Elite Activity is valid here)

I'll always be involved in gifting programs. They're a great way to
take care of the todays as well as the tomorrows.
