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!

Here’s Another Way To Lose Money In Amway – Selling Amway Shit For Christmas
This is a ghost from years gone past….. A Christmas ghost!
No scratch that. Make that this is a post from years gone past but seeing as how Christmas is creeping closer and Amway is just creepy I’m bringing it out for any new readers who might not have seen this. This was just another way to waste a perfectly good Saturday doing Amway shit not to mention losing money too. But then that’s what Amway’s all about. Losing time and money.
Our upline booked a community hall and turned it into Amway Christmas shopping central and all IBO’s were told to invite friends and family to attend and purchase Amway products as Christmas presents.
Most of the products out on display were the edibles - nasty food bars, disgusting XS energy drinks, vitamins, Perfect Water. You know - the type of stuff every kid wants to find under the Christmas tree.
Each IBO had to pay $10 towards the rental of the community hall. There were about 40 IBO’s at this event. You guessed it. The IBO’s outnumbered the shoppers.
The old community hall is on a fairly quiet street about 2 blocks from a busier street. There was a sign on the door advertising to come in for Christmas shopping. Perhaps they would have got more buyers if they’d gone a couple of blocks away and put a sign on the corner of the more travelled road. Or maybe not. First Saturday in December is the biggest shopping day of the year at the malls. Let’s weigh this out. Mall with lots of shops. Lots of variety. Good selection of products. Decently priced. Compare to Amway shopping central at a small mice-infested community hall. Overpriced products. Limited selection.
Five friends of ours showed up. The IBO’s pounced on them thinking they’d get some good sales. One of our friends actually purchased a few products. The pity purchaser who only bought the items to help out Ambot. Decent sale too over $100. I don’t recall the actual amount. May have been closer to $200.
Now here’s the crazy part. Our friend was the only person who purchased anything that day. Out of all the IBO’s there Ambot had the only sale. At the meeting at the end of the day when we were packing up the Platinum berated the group on the lack of sales. Now here’s where you’d think the pompous sack of shit would have some kind words for Ambot because his friend made purchases. Nope. He tore Ambot a new asshole saying he had five friends show up and only one of them bought something. I mean really laid into him about how those weren’t real friends because they didn’t support his business and about his general lack of success even though he was the only IBO who made a sale that day. After the verbal lashing ended, like the good cult leader he is, he assured Ambot that they still loved him and they would always be his only true friends unlike the phoney friends who don’t support his business.
Despite all those proclaims of never-ending love and friendship, when Ambot stopped going to Amway meetings and buying products those phonies cut off their love and friendship. Boo hoo. I can’t tell you how much it breaks my heart that those fucking Amway liars don’t want anything to do with us anymore.
Should have told that fucking sack of shit Platinum to shove a Christmas tree up his ass!

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.
That Amway Platinum was a real piece of shit.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you why acted the way he did. He was enraged that nobody else brought any guests to the place, but if he attacked everyone on that basis, he'd have to let your husband Ambot off the hook.
He didn't want to do that, since his anger was so great that he had to attack everybody. So he went after your husband on completely absurd grounds -- namely, that only one of his guests bought anything. By doing this, the asshole Platinum was able to exercise his "authority" as up-line over every one of his IBOs.
In addition, I think he knew that your husband was desperate for "edification," as they say in the Amway jargon. By not giving it, the Platinum was cementing his authority even further and deeper.
But you know, Anna, the asshole Platinum made a big mistake by admitting the following: all purchases of Amway stuff are "pity" purchases, made by family and friends who feel sorry for an IBO. That's why he said that the IBOs hadn't brought any "real friends." He was admitting that Amway stuff is only bought by people who feel sorry for an IBO.
Nobody wants Amway shit. You couldn't sell it at half the price.
Hi Anonymous. The other Ambots had family/friends show up but they weren't interested in buying shitty overpriced Amway products. Not a pity purchaser among them to enable the Ambot who'd begged them to show up.
DeleteYou bet that sack of shit Platinum was enraged. He makes a few pennies commission whenever someone in the downline makes a sale so he didn't make as many pennies that day as he'd hoped.
And as you said had to come up with some absurd reason to vent his anger at the group.
Nobody wants Amway shit not even buy back at a dime per dollar spent.
It's amazing how "Amway Speak" stays remarkably consistent. I heard the word "edify" and"edification" (amongst lots of other repeated words) in Amway also.
DeleteHear it all the time to Anonymous. I think those Ambots need to look up the meaning of the word edify. When I think of that I think of edit something. And that includes the delete button on the keyboard. Delete Amway. Delete Ambots.
DeleteI can't imagine the disappointment and insult to anybody on Christmas day who unwraps their "present" to find yucky Amway shit instead of a real gift. Really, that would be worse than getting nothing.
ReplyDeleteRay - getting an Amway present under the tree would be a huge disappointment to anyone who gets it. Unless of course it's another Ambot who would gush all over it. The hits on this blog unfortunately go up on Christmas Day.
DeleteAnna I’m new to the blog and I love it!! I’ve never done Amway but I’ve been pulled into a couple other MLMs. Personally I think a lot of them are sketchy but I have never heard of a worse one than Scamway. Coerced meetings and functions? That high of a PV requirement? Just the creepy upline controlling your life?? Prospecting people in stores? What the hell, is this 1953? Who the fuck prospects in stores anymore or goes out and tries to physically find people to piss off? Our cosmetic products in one MLM i worked for (Senegence) were expensive too but they were really damn good, especially our lipstick (Lipsense). So people were willing to pay more because the quality was really good. That being said, you can’t have shitty products and then charge up the ass like Scamway. I am so glad i never fell pray to this scam. I had a weird encounter at the bank with a guy who wanted me and my husband to work on a great business venture with him and his wife and some others, wouldn’t tell me the business name, and wanted to meet at Starbucks. This was over a year ago and I totally forgot about it until I started researching MLMs and found Amway as one of the sketchiest. Now I know that that guy was probably an Ambot and I dodged a bulletproof, lol!! My husband is a REAL sales person and he would’ve told the guy to go F himself and F a tree because he absolutely hates MLMs with a passion!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous. Thanks for stopping by. Glad you're loving the blog!
DeleteYes Scamway is definitely the worst MLM out there. Very abusive to the people who sign up. It's no different than any other cult if a member were to disobey the cult leader. Hell to pay.
The assholes in the Amway upline control your life more than your boss at work does. Ironic when you think of all the time at Amway meetings where the cult leader insults your boss at work.
It sounds like the loser who wanted to meet you at Starbucks was in Amway. Ambots are very secretive and avoid saying the A word. It's all about tricking new prospects. Ambots always want to meet for coffee to pitch their "business plan". Though they're usually too broke to meet at Starbucks. Maybe the Ambot planned to get their early, fish a used cup out of the garbage and sit with it at a table to pretend they'd finished drinking it. Amway is all about pretend games. Ambots like to pretend they're business owners.
Sounds like a great husband to have around. Knows to tell these scammers to go fuck themselves!
