I would change your word "bribe" to motivate. A bribe is an illegal act done to get someone to do something they would not do but for the giving of the bribe. I assume that everyone who signs up for SFI does so because he or she wants to be successful and the person wants to do the things required to be successful. However, as John Lennon wrote/said, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans."
The business of life gets in the way of the plans a lot of people who join SFI have for their success. So what we leaders have to do is to motivate these people to keep their eyes on the prize of their success. We have to help them to achieve their goals by encouraging them to follow the SFI Rules of Success.
The awarding of Gift Certificates, TCredits, and other incentives is just one of the tools in our tool box of effective sponsoring. These incentives not only motivate our affiliates but help them to learn SFI and Triple Clicks and to experience first hand what SFI and Triple Clicks are about so that they can tell others with confidence in both.
I am not aware of any instance in which the awarding of incentives come back to bite the one giving the incentives. Of course, I would mind being bitten by success.
