101 Reasons to Hate Amway

I had a visitor show up at my blog using the search criteria “reasons to hate Amway”. Nothing really extraordinary about that. I get many searchers who end up here with variations of the “I hate Amway” theme.

Seeing as how I already wrote a post about 101 Ways to Piss of an Amway IBO I thought I’d take it a little further and do 101 reasons to hate Amway. This is going to be too easy. All I have to do is look at their catalogue and list each product one by one. But that would probably end up being something like 2000 reasons to hate Amway but I’ll still put in the products that I personally hate.

So here goes. 101 Reasons to Hate Amway:

    Well crafted! One only need to see the teachings of Amway uplines once in order to see tehm coming from a mile away.

  2. Thanks Rocket! The only thing that's changed in Amway from when we got in 12 years ago until the last time 2 years ago is that there is more emphasis on the Internet sales and buy Communikate and other tools. Oh and everything is more expensive.

  3. Fortunately I didn't fall for it, but Amway is a dangerous Multi-Level Marketing cult, perhaps the most dangerous of it's kind.

  4. Good for you Matt! You'd be surprised how many hits I have on this post for people who go to search engines and type in "I hate Amway" or "I hate Amway people". This is an evil company that leaves a path of destruction in its wake and takes no responsibility. Like you said, probably the most dangerous MLM out there.

    1. thehamesasher - why the fuck would you tell me to talk to my upline so they can "inform" me sweet fuck all???? I haven't talked to those fucking assholes in years!!!!

      I have read many accounts of people's experiences in Amway. My upline are very typical of Amway IBO's in the way they act. If you choose to lie and deny like all ambots do then that's your problem.

      I am doing what I want. I am writing a blog so that people know exactly what kind of Amway assholes I had to put up with and what they have in store for them if they sign up with Amway.

  8. We are all lucky to live in this great country! If a person wants to be in Amway, so be it. Who are we you to judge the people that decide to do and act as they please? If Amway is not for you, that's fine. I try not to judge anyone. I am not an IBO, but know a few that are. I respect their work effort.

    1. And good for you, too. No one here says people can't do what they want, including joining a money-losing, brainwashing cult where they statistically have less than a 1% chance to make any decent money while losing friends and family left and right. Go for it. Knock yourself out. But sites like this also enjoy this great country (sing the Star Spangled Banner and praise the LAWD!) and thus have the similar right to WARN others of all the things that (surprise surprise) Amway is not about to reveal in their snake-oil smoke and mirrors presentation.

    2. I have yet to lose friends or family because of Amway. In fact, I've gained them. And my friends who don't want to get in, well, so be it. They don't have to. My uplines are all so positive and genuine. Sure, there are negative groups/tactics. But have you ever heard of a big business or corporation that doesn't have any? Or a big corporation that doesn't look like a pyramid scheme? Hell, I think the CEO of the company that I work for benefits more from me than my Amway uplines. Pity some people can't see both sides.

    3. Kureahxoxo - just give it some time. You must be a new Ambot because you're not so good on the brainwashed Amspeak bullshit propaganda yet. Eventually everyone will avoid you. Amway is all about losing money and losing friends.

      Delete
    4. The friends "gained" through Amway, like those gained in a religious cult, are deceivingly "positive and genuine", but it's all part of the lovebombing part of brainwashing.

      You obviously don't understand the workings of a "pyramid" scheme, otherwise you'd know it's not the SHAPE of the company diagram it's the WORKINGS of it. In a normal company, those at the bottom earn a set amount of money for their work. In a pyramid scheme, those who got in early and are at the top are the only real beneficiaries, and those below send their money up to the top with promises of "your time will come, too", but their only hope is to recruit and recruit and recruit enough other people into the scam to try to have enough people below them losing money as they are to the folks at the top, but this time losing it to them. But as the less than 1% success rate indicates with Amway, it's like herding cats. You might be able to recruit someone in, but as month after month goes by and they lose more and more money to the scam, most drop out and you find yourself at square one with the need to recruit, recruit, recruit.

      And don't say you plan to make your money just selling the products. They are horribly overpriced so other than some pity purchases finding a strong "outside of Amway" customer base is close to impossible.

      Folks who come to this site HAVE seen both sides. Most first hand, so save the pity for yourself. As your credit cards max and your bank account drains and the pile of unmovable products pile up in your garage, you'll need it for yourself.

      Delete
    5. Anonymous - the only time an Ambot sees both sides is when he gets out of the cult. And then those people he loved & worshipped in the upline are now seen for what they really are - a bunch of lying scamming bastards who treat people badly all in the name of their quest of the almighty dollar. Amway - the cult of greed. He's still being love bombed. When he puts up with the wrath from the evil demons in the Amway upline for not bringing new prospects to Scamway meetings or not having customers buying overpriced shitty Amway products, and realizes his credit cards have been maxed, bank accounts drained, and all his friends have left him, then maybe he'll see the light.

    7. Don - all Ambots are sorry lying sack of puss? Hmm. I'd say sack of shit but whatever. Some of those Amway assholes do end up in prison. Let's not forget the most famous Amway IBO of them all - the green river serial killer.

  9. I work at the plant as a temp and I hate it. I Hate the overhead, the treatment, and working on cheap/shitty products while the suits just comes down like pigeons to shit on everything. I don't even make three hundred bucks a week because Amway slaves out the temp services while the full time employees do jack shit and make triple the amount of pay. It is a wretched place to work or even assosciate with. I'm sorry that is is as horrible on the business end of the deal as well.

  10. Hi anonymous. Thanks for stopping by. I get the occasional former and current Amway employees stopping by to tell us what a shitty place it is to work. I'll probably being your story to the front post sometime in the next few days because most people are going to miss it buried back here on an old post. There are way better jobs out there. You could work part time at Starbucks for the same money and get benefits. I get you got to have a job to pay the bills but keep your eyes open and something better than the Amway sweat shop will show up. Good luck!

  11. If any of you don't mind, please answer a couple of questions for me.
    1. What other organisation tied with amway did the business tools and development material come from?
    2. Can you believe that there is money to be had in such a marketing concept/compensation plan?
    3. Can you see a way to achieve the kind of money without all the hassling of others for products, that you consider useless?
    4. Is it possible to get by in the business with only the few products you deem useful and you can proudly say IS GOOD?
    5. If you believe that everyone upline is brainwashing you, do you have an avenue to discover for yourself, the truth about what they say?

    I guess these might be the top questions I have, there may be more as the post continues. If it is allowed to continue.

    1. Hey there Anonymous,

      1- Where I live, the organization creating the tools is Internet Services Corporation owned by Dexter Yaeger.

      2- There is very little money to be made in this business unless you have a sizeable downline (my estimate would be between 50-100). The problem is that since most people quit, you have to keep replacing them, hence you spend your time running around trying to find people to show the plan.

      3- No, I honestly don't. The products are over-priced and average quality at best. Not to mention the shipping fees will murder your budget.

      4- Unless you make 100PV a month, you can forget about seeing any money come from Amway

      5- Do your own research. Find unbiased sources of informations that state facts as they are, not as your upline want it to be.

      I hope this answers your questions.

    1. Levi - Amway will destroy your lives starting with destroying your relationship because that's what Amway is all about.

      Look under March 2013 posts for the one titled helpful Amway hints. There is a free ebook you can download called Merchants of Deception. You both need to read it to understand what Amway is really like and the odds are stacked against you making money. Over 99% failure rate and that comes at great emotional and financial distress.

      You 2 should go to a library or bookstore if you're interested in starting a business and find out the right way to go about it. In Amway all you'll ever be is a poor broke commissioned salesperson.

      Good luck to you!

    1. Typical fucking Amway asshole who is brainwashed to believe that everyone who is not in Amway is broke. If you're so worried about me being broke why don't you send money.

  14. "It's not for the chosen few, but for the few that choose". lol, I love how they have a long list of bumper sticker motivational sayings they always toss out to avoid talking actual statistics and figures.

    And the assumption that anyone not in Amway is "broke" is hilarious. The truth is for 99.9% of those who get into the Amway scam it's the other way around.

    People "fail" at Amway because it is a flawed plan. Commissioned salespeople in a buyer's club with overpriced products that result in tiny "bonus" checks that don't even begin to cover the money spent on products, "tools" (i.e. brainwashing rah-rah crap), seminars, etc. Since the word has gotten around about how much money is lost, relationships destroyed (not counting the phony lovebombing upline relationships that disappear as soon as they bleed you dry) it's difficult to recruit new suckers, and those that do get pulled in usually don't last when they realize how much money they are losing in the cult.

    People who get out of Amway aren't failures... they just wised up before losing everything for illusions and "dreams" that Amway's flawed plan can't deliver.

    1. Yup Amway's system is designed for failure. Brainwashed ambots refuse to believe it. They think Amway is only for winners and in a couple of years they'll have gazillions of dollars rolling in every month why they sit back and do nothing ever again.

      This is only just one little corner of the Internet where people who were duped into Scamway can talk about how much money they lost and destroyed relationships and hopefully we can help others avoid making the same mistake.

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.
