The way Amway Global works is very simple. IBO's get paid for shopping and referring other shoppers. The company has been in existence for 50 years and has grown consistently over the past 10 years.
There wouldn't be so many partnership stores associated with a scam or Pyramid Scheme. Over 10,000 companies would be risking their reputation to be in partnership with Amway Global. Affiliate stores include Office Depot, Barnes and Nobles, Circuit City and Dell. The Vice President of Sales Barnes and Nobles says: "Quixtar is our #1 Business-Business Account". They have over 9,000 Affiliates and Amway Global/Quixtar does 3xs the volume of their second biggest affiliate.
The Better Business Bureau says that "Amway Global is a Legal and Viable business".
The former Chair of the US Chamber of Commerce is Steve Van Andle. He also happens to be one of the founders of Amway Global. The US Chamber of Commerce currently meets in the "Amway Room".
The compensation is Federal Trade Commission approved. I was skeptical when I first saw this company. I had to see this thing 4 times to completely get it. I wanted to see if this was a pyramid scheme so I went to the FTC website. I saw three things that helped me eliminate that doubt:
1. There is no recruiting fee- The person who invites you on gets nothing when you get started. It has to be a win win. They have to help you get a return on your investment before they can get paid.
2. There are no quotas- Amway Global I-Team shows you is how to do 100pts. You won't get kicked out if you do 50 or 500 pt or even 5 pts. You use what you want to use. Of course it comes back to being your best customer, because people are going to do what you do.
3. The Buy Back Policy- Your products are a part of it and the registration fee to get started has a buy back policy as well. So there is no risk.
