My story of what its like to be married to an Amway cult follower. I expose the lies that our upline told and what happens at Amway meetings and functions. I leave the explanations of why Amway is a poor business opportunity or the tool scam to other bloggers. This blog mainly exists to curse out my former upline, aka the cult leaders, and to let everyone know what kind of idiots I had to put up with. Feel free to join in or live vicariously!

No One Is Buying My Amway Products
24 comments:
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.
I mean, seriously, who the fuck comes up with the names for the products anyway! ‘SA8’, ‘PERFECT WATER’, ‘XS ENERGY DRINKS’, ‘ARTISTRY’…and who the hell would eat food-replacement bars anyway! The only joy some of us get out of life is REAL food! What are these people, a bunch of retards?
ReplyDeleteI just went to their Amway Global online-store and nearly shit a brick when I looked at the prices. They’re charging $10.49 for an iCook logo spatula…what the hell is an iCook logo spatula and more importantly…why would I want to pay eleven dollars for one spatula, I get these for a buck a piece at some stores or a quarter a piece at garage sales (yeah I know, gross…IT’S MY LIFE ALRIGHT). Anyway…you’ve got to be dead-brained to be in this thing!
Holy grail, someone please save the stupid ones, I swear…sometimes I just feel like I’m the smartest specimen around…and even I know that’s not true! Come on people; use that brain…what a waste of breath, really!
Anonymous - I agree with you that many of the names are weird. Perhaps the Amway marketing department was sitting around one night getting drunk and came up with these treasures? If this was the case Amway should hire an outside marketing company who is good at coming up with names for products.
DeleteAmbots eat meal replacement bars! They have no time to cook. They got to get from work to Amway meetings every night. So they eat Amway food bars, XS - really dumb ass name - just call it cat piss drink - and Nutrilite vitamins. I mean what the fuck is up with Nutrilite? Sounds like a weight loss product!
It's difficult to sell products that are grossly overpriced. Brainwashed Ambots don't understand that the un-brainwashed folks aren't as easy to "snake oil" into thinking that the Amway products are superior or have some sort of magic quality about them to justify the price. All they know is "well I can buy that at Costco for a fraction of that cost."
ReplyDeletePlus due to the pushy (and annoying) reputation that folks caught up in the cult have, most people don't want to let them get their foot in the door with one purchase since they know it will mean being hounded constantly to buy more and more crap. Most of an Ambots initial sales (other than to themselves) are pity sales to good friends and their relatives. That is, until they eventually drive them away.

Dave - I'll probably catch more ambots to this post who are also looking for answers to this question. Our sack of shit Platinum would mock people and say who wouldn't want to buy Amway's high quality products. Wouldn't you want to pay more money for better quality products and earn commission on it. That sort of bullshit.
DeleteAnd my answer is no. I'd rather go to Walmart and buy better quality products for half the price. Maybe even a quarter of the price depending on the overpriced Amway product we're talking about.
Amway's reputation is already well known with pushy annoying ambots stalking people to buy the shitty products.
My mother used to say "The fastest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket" ha ha!
DeleteJust exactly how stupid is it to buy overpriced products because you'll get a small fraction back in 'commission"? Why not just buy cheaper and better products to begin with? It's a no-brainer.
Oh-I forgot-when you join Amway you get a brain-ectomy courtesy of your stinkin' upline!
Connie - your mother was very right!
DeleteIts so far beyond stupid that you can't see the words anymore to buy overpriced shitty Amway products and get a tiny amount back in commission. Its all about brainwashing the ambots to believe they are actually saving money by shopping from their own store and they're earning money too on what they buy. How many times did I have to point out to my husband that this was dumb ass Amway philosophy???
Meal replacement bar thats a good one! Lol Yea miss me with that bullshit ill take a real cooked meal thanks. Anyone trying to replace my meal with a cardboard tasting piece a crap may get bitch slapped! Or at least laughed at.
ReplyDeleteAmway meal bars taste like cardboard? You're being too kind. They don't taste that good!
DeletePlus they have this awful artificial aftertaste that doesn't relate to food products. Yuck.

Yeah my parents were nice enough to buy the laundry detergent and cleaners to "help out" then they showed me the bill....yikes.
Delete-Evan.
In the beginning most ambots can get pity purchasers - friends and family - but rarely repeat customers due to the high prices and low quality products.
DeleteThe funny part is that the SA8 crap they sell has ruined so many peoples shirts. Its ridiculous.
ReplyDelete-Sammy
Sammy - I can't say as SA8 ruined any of my shirts! My bank account? Yes! SA8 does not clean as good as Tide or many other laundry soaps but charges 2 or 3 times as much as they do. On mildly dirty clothes Amway SA8 does an average job. On dirty laundry, nope won't come out as clean as their competition.
DeleteWe stumbled over here coming from a different pae and thought I maay as well check
ReplyDeletethings out. I like what I see so now i'm following you.
Look forward to looking over your web page repeatedly.
Also visit my web blog :: great deals
Can you share some competitive products with comparison to Amway products.... with MRP and also.. as an ex ABO... you must have seen the test of their products with other products... do you have any comments on that?
ReplyDeleteHello Unknown from India. For the information you're seeking look at some of our posts from 2011 where we provided links to Consumers Reporting magazine and one of our network news teams, I think NBC but maybe it was ABC where they compared Amway products to better quality lower priced products you can buy in the grocery store. Every fucking Amway asshole who shows up here screeches about putting in the work so take the advice of other ambots ahead of you and put in the work to find the information you need because I'm not busting my ass for any fucking Amway loser and looking back through old posts with links especially for some fucker who's probably not going to come back and I'll have wasted my time. I realize you fucking Amway assholes have a sense of entitlement and expect the rest of the world to do whatever you Ambots want but this blog exists to say fuck you Amway and fuck all of you Ambots.
DeleteHey, Unknown from India --
ReplyDeleteAmway is practically illegal in your country. Do you have any comments on that?
Anonymous - and maybe unknown can tell us why Ambots in India lie about President Bush being an Amway IBO and slinging their overpriced shitty products at the White House. Maybe in a country that isn't upto date on current world news can get away with that bullshit but when you leave a comment on this blog it's like what the fuck. You lying scamming Amway asshole don't you think there'd be serious news coverage over here with all kinds of ridicule should that happen!
DeleteMany years ago I bought Amway detergent and it was the worst smelling stuff besides being watery. I think I can still smell it and it's been 40+ years.
ReplyDeleteAnnie - that’s pretty funny. And sad in the same way that i’ll be remembering Amway that way decades from now. Amway’s laundry detergent has not improved at all in 40 years.
DeleteThe "watery" part is actually true when they tried to compare a Dove shampoo, however they never go into full depth what their products are actually made out of enough for me to buy it. It feels like it doesn't improve your body as spraying water can simply wash all of those body or hair soap away leaving you nothing done.
DeleteI still go with Old spice.
Anonymous - Amway sells substandard products at overinflated prices so Amway owners can make a good profit on each sale plus the Ambot who sold the product or more than likely "bought from their own store" and everyone in the upline has to make commission on that sale which is why Amway products are so high priced for shit. You can buy better quality products like Old Spice at the drug store for a third or a quarter of the price that Amway sells their overpriced shitty products for. Amway's sales are less than 4% to people who are not registered IBOs. What does that tell you?
DeleteSub standard prices with over inflated prices....argh... what do they own exactly as a business and where do they bought it at? Enough to tell me I don't like what I'm hearing buying any of this Amway business. Don't they have a refund system and review forum or something like that?
DeleteAnonymous- exactly! Ambots own nothing as a business. All they are is commissioned sales reps for Amway. Real business owners create their own product or service and sell it to real customers. Ever try to get a refund from Amway? It’d be easier to ride a pink elephant down I 5
