One of our readers shares his Amway experience, getting ripped off by Communikate and the snotty snobby Amway Ambot attitude:
I have
to agree with you. There is a pompous holier-than-thou attitude present in some
Independent Business Owners.
I first heard of AmWay in 2018. My friend is an IBO and he invited me to one of
their functions in Everett.
The presenters smashed their alarm clocks. I loved watching that. I despise
having my life ruled by time and the slave necessity of working my life away
just to have some meager things.
One year later I joined as an IBO in Missoula. I enjoyed the fellowship at
first but sensed the artificiality later on. My upline, the guy that recruited
me, and his wife, acted pretty arrogant sometimes. Sure, they were kind most of
the time but their falseness shone bright.
Some of the IBOs were pretty nice and I got along with them really well.
However I experienced social anxiety when I attempted to recruit others to the
cause. I couldn't seem to get into CORE very well. I understand the power of
daily habits but half of that Kate dialogue is plain horseshit. The other half
didn't seem so bad.
I could hardly afford the monthly WWDB and CommuniKate bills. I have always
struggled with budgeting and the bills didn't help. I couldn't afford to drive
to Portland for Free Enterprise Days or other functions out of state.
I was at the end of my fuse by November. I dropped all association because I
was tired of the disrespect and passive aggressiveness.
There's somethings that I like about AmWay. I understand your perspective about
the brainwashing and cult obsession.
Finally, why I came here in the first place. I think CommuniKate is stupid.
Yeah, voicemails are cool but like mentioned above there's everything else we
can use instead. I am still getting billed by the fuckers, which as of todays
billing email totals around $100. For something I'm not using and haven't had
installed on my Android since 2019. Utter bullshit.
I think some aspects of AmWay are good. I would love to not have to work a job
and help others build their dreams. But I'm taking a higher path to achieve
success. I wish you all a great year and the best of luck in your righteous
ambitions.

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.
