What Kind of Car Does an Amway Diamond Get?

A recent searcher ended up at my blog after searching on Google for what kind of car does an Amway Diamond get.

Don’t forget to read my post about the clunker brigade.

Many IBO’s in our LOS were driving rust bucket Cadillacs, Lincolns and BMW’s from the 70’s and 80’s for the bragging rights that they own that model of car. Yeah I really want to drive an ugly old car that’s always breaking down.

As far as I know an Amway Diamond doesn’t “get” a car for reaching that level. Its not like Mary Kay where you get a leased pink Cadillac for a year for reaching some level.

I’ve been to enough functions where a video is played showing Diamonds with their fleet of cars and other toys on wheels. You name the high end car, we’ve probably seen it on a video. The thing we don’t know the answer to is how many are leased, how many were purchased with cash, and how many were financed. Or more likely - how many were borrowed or rented for the purpose of shooting the video of the Diamond lifestyle.

There’s a certain image that has to be projected in Amway. The image of success. Fake it till you make it. Our Platinum and Emerald didn’t drive anything that screamed success though they drove newer model cars, probably manufactured within the last 10 years. Might have been financed maybe leased but I don’t know for sure. I know when the Platinum sack of shit got his $20,000 bonus check for being a Platinum he was all talk about buying an SUV, sorry the name escapes me. Does Cadillac manufacture SUV’s? Maybe that. Furthermore he was going to buy it by using the service of a car hunter (?) - I’m not sure what the term is for a person who you give your criteria to and they search for the best deals. Anyway that was all the bastard ever yapped about but he didn’t buy a new - or new to him - car. Probably had to use the money to pay off debt.

So - what kind of car does an Amway Diamond get? Whatever car gives them the most flash for the buck. And that buck came from scamming thousands of IBO’s only too willing to shell out their hard earned cash to make their upline richer.

  1. My upline diamond who's now a emerald is still driving a mercedes. He qualified diamond in the 90s. As for his house it's so so considering he's suppose to be retired for all these years.

  2. No it's a diff Mercedes than he had in the 90s. It's funny you mentioned cars cause my ex diamond moved into his uplines old home. This happened when he qualified diamond in the 90s. I wonder if that's the same with cars? Do they buy their uplines old cars or jewelry?

  3. They probably do buy each other's old cars. Someone is upgrading from a 1972 BWM to a 1984 model and wants to sell their old car so some newbie IBO is all over it so they can say they own a Beamer.

  6. Colin - we didn't have any local Diamonds. They'd have to fly in for meetings. Have no idea if they lived in cheaper or expensive areas of town.

  7. Former Lemming - No Diamonds close enough to drive. All we saw were the cars in videos or what they said in meetings they drove. Leasing is cheaper when you're dealing with high end cars.

  8. I've done a comprehensive post in my tax blog about how Amway IBO's have fared in Tax Court. You might find it interesting

  9. Hi Peter! Thank you for dropping by! Its my guess most IBO's don't consult with an accountant. They believe everything their upline tells them and counsel with upline who have no accounting experience on what expenses they can claim at tax time. That would be pretty much everything because we were told if nothing else that Amway is a good tax shelter. Our Platinum told us if we were eating an Amway food bar and broke off part of it to share with someone else we now could write it off as marketing/promotion expense. Same thing with all Amway food and beverages. If you had people over for dinner and served Perfect Water or XS Energy Drinks you could write off the case for entertainment or marketing expenses.

    We do have an accountant and when Ambot brought her the Amway receipts she refused and told us she only deals with legitimate businesses. For people like us who own a business there might have been some Amway related expenses we could have snuck in but I can't claim gas, meals, hotel, etc for cities that are 200, 300, or 500 miles away. That would pull up red flags and we have no proof that we were operating our business that far out of town. All we were doing was out of town travel to participate in the expensive Amway social club.

    Hopefully some IBO's will read your blog and decide it might not be a good idea to try to screw over Uncle Sam! It sounds like they'll have better luck if they get in the horse breeding business!? Ha ha! That was funny. Surely breeding dogs or cats would be cheaper and take up less space!

    1. Anonymous - you're correct about broke people attract the same. That's why there's room fills of broke Amway ambots sitting around talking about how one day they're all going to be rich together. As soon as we dumped them we weren't broke anymore.

Comments are moderated but we publish just about everything. Even brainwashed ambots who show up here to accuse us of not trying hard enough and that we are lazy, quitters, negative, unchristian dreamstealers. Like we haven’t heard that Amspeak abuse from the assholes in our upline!

If your comment didn’t get published it could be one of these reasons:
1. Is it the weekend? We don’t moderate comments on weekends. Maybe not every day during the week either. Patience.
2. Racist/bigoted comments? Take that shit somewhere else.
3. Naming names? Public figures like politicians and actors and people known in Amway are probably OK – the owners, Diamonds with CDs or who speak at functions, people in Amway’s publicity department who write press releases and blogs. Its humiliating for people to admit their association with Amway so respect their privacy if they’re not out there telling everyone about the love of their life.
4. Gossip that serves no purpose. There are other places to dish about what Diamonds are having affairs or guessing why they’re getting divorced. If you absolutely must share that here – don’t name names. I get too many nosy ambots searching for this. Lets not help them find this shit.
5. Posting something creepy anonymously and we can’t track your location because you’re on a mobile device or using hide my ass or some other proxy. I attracted an obsessed fan and one of my blog administrators attracted a cyberstalker. Lets keep it safe for everyone. Anonymous is OK. Creepy anonymous and hiding – go fuck yourselves!
6. Posting something that serves no purpose other than to cause fighting.
7. Posting bullshit Amway propaganda. We might publish that comment to make fun of you. Otherwise take your agenda somewhere else. Not interested.
8. Notice how this blog is written in English? That's our language so keep your comments in English too. If you leave a comment written in another language then we either have to use Google translate to put it into English so everyone can understand what you wrote or we can hit the Delete button. Guess which one is easier for us to do?
9. We suspect you're a troublemaking Amway asshole.
10. Your comment got caught in the spam filter. Gets checked occasionally. We’ll get to you eventually and approve it as long as it really isn’t spam.
