Quixtar Reviews

Hi Rev. Bill.

I was in Quixtar. I didn't expect something for nothing. But what I received was nothing for something. I did everything my upline advised/ordered me to do. I counseled and my group "exceeded" the parameters my upline taught. Yet being right around the 7500 level, I was not making money. The expenses of the business such as standing order and functions took away all my profits. When I questioned my upline about it, I was told I did not work hard enough. I did the math and realized that just about anything less than diamond would be worthless, and even going diamond was no guarantee that income will keep coming in.

Since you identify yourself as "Reverend", I wonder if you teach this to your congregation?

I am an IBO. I love the business. Is it tough?? Yes. Is it worth the effort? Absolutely. Having read the negative comments herein, I can almost guarantee you that people like "Joe from Texas" and the other naysayers are people who expected to get something for nothing. That is not how a capitalist society works. That's how a communist society works.

If you want Quixtar or any other MLM business to work, you have to invest time, money, sweat, tears, prayer, and, yes, even a few friendships. People who are saying they lost their spouses because of this business are hiding the truth ... the business was probably the straw that broke the camel's back, but the underlying problems were there all along.

If you want to naysay, go ahead. In America you have that right. But if you consider yourself an educated person, you owe it to yourself to get ALL THE FACTS before you make a judgment decision.

Unless you are single with ample spare time and do not mind losing a lot of friends..... STAY AWAY from Quixtar.

My personal experience on the business side of Quixtar was very bad. I found exactly as mentioned that the only way to make money was on the 'Tools' and if you chose not to purchase them then you could forget about getting any support from your upline.

When I ran the numbers something in small print caught my eye. It stated that you could not make any more money than what you yourself purchased for product. As an example, to get 100PV and be eligible to receive the 'bonus' you had to spend $300 on average. So the most you could make was $300 in a month.

To make more then the cost of your purchases back you had to reach the Platinum level which then gave you a percentage of the money charged for the 'Tools' purchased by your lines.

We had a business built up with 3 lines below us, 4-6 deep (all doing their 100PV) and our biggest cheque in a month was $100. It did not even cover our 'Tools' and seminar costs.....

When we stopped purchasing the Tools and products because we could not afford to anymore our phone calls to our upline were ignored. Left me with a sour taste in our mouths.... Especially when our 'friends' in the business stopped talking to us.....

I joined Amway years and years ago, then quicky got out because, 1) I could get the same products at the store 2)I never heard from my sponsor again. That did not alienate me to Network Marketing though as I am involved with a company that I enjoy, has a unique product and I still am in touch with my sponsor on a regular basis. Just due your research and find a company that appeals to you and what you want. Network Marketing does work but it take patience and persistence.

Its not worth at all! Products are marked at high price, they are way expensive, you can buy better stuff at same price. Moreover you have to run after people to make them members and most people tend to run away from you.

CAMIAM, NY, the Amway systems can stop a winner from winning. The Amway compensation plan is designed for failure. When you see this 6-4-2 plan, you have the majority of 78 IBOs making peanuts and one platinum making $40K. Factor in standing order and seminars and you have massive financial losses for the group.

This is the business you think is so wonderful? BTW, how do you steal someone's dream?

I have been an ibo for 11 months now must say I know what its like to say it takes time but starting finally to see good results. I truly say when people talk negative about something they more then likely arent succeeding in their present life probably listening to a couple of their broke friends which I feel their is nothing wrong with that particular way but for me i dont let negative people get in my way of success. They teach you in school to go get a job wonder why they dont teach you to have business ownership hmm. The truth is as long as you work for someone by the way that is a pyramid big time working in a job you will never get to your potential in life and just be comfortable ask yourself is this what i choose to be if so great happy for you but its funny i had one person who insulted my intelligence by saying well i think its too hard and not real so i said would you like to see my last check he said sure it was $2,150 not rich lol but not bad either I told him but I told him after he decided he wanted to do this that I decided not to have him on my team because I felt he wasnt serious about the business which was the best decision I ever made. I really dont care who wants to do it or not my mind is like whos next because remember all it takes is 4 or 5 really serious guys or girls like myself and I will be on my way. I know our business will be around for a long long time no overhead no debt wow and I laugh at all the people who downgrade us when they probably still work in a job and make less then 75k what a joke or better yet not working at all. People will always try to bash people especially people who are successful they are called the world wide whiners they have nothing better to do then knock people just because they tried it and didnt succeed or better yet lol never ever did it another joke. Do what you like in life because you only get one chance for me this was the best thing I ever did in life and yes i do work in a job and get paid really well but thats not what I am excited about its this business because maybe it will take me 5-10years more but I will get there that I can take to the bank and besides I am only 26 plenty of time good luck in your jobs and i wish everyone success in life

I have purchased items from Quixtar and find the delivery packaging absolutely horrendous. They will pack ONE bottle of vitamins in wads on paper, then surround it in "popcorn" and then stick it in a box that could hold one hundred bottles. What a threat to the environment. They do this ALL the time, no one puts any reasonable thought to what they are doing when sending the products out from the warehouse. Another thing, the "partner stores" are a crock. I had a nightmare trying to get a charge reversed on my credit card. They never sent the product out, charged my card and then I had to prove to BOTH THE CREDIT CARD COMPANY & THE PARTNER STORE that I didn't receive the item - after I had canceled the order one month prior. When I contacted Quixtar, they apologized for my"unfortunate" experience and then passed the buck to the "partner store". Basically, I am trying to support someones business venture, but have been loath to buy the Amway products after discovering that no one really cares about the customer after the order has been placed - it's all about getting the business and then as with any other global conglomerate, there is no customer service afterwards.

JOE, YEAH I UNDERSTAND THAT. AS FOR THE WAY THE "STACKING" GOES, ITS A QUICK WAY TO GET YOUR DOWNLINE GROWING. THIS IS YOUR JOB SHADOWING TIME. HERE YOU LEARN WHAT TO, HOW TO DO IT AND HOW TO MAKE IT WORK. ONCE YOU FEEL THAT YOUR READY TO BE ON YOUR OWN, AND START YOUR OWN TEAM, THEN YOU START YOUR OWN INDEPENDENT 2ND LEG. ALL THOSE CD'S ARE BUSINESS TOOLS AND TAX RIGHT OFFS. THEY TELL YOU THAT DAY ONE. AND ALSO DAY ONE, THAT ITS NOT MANDATORY. MY BOYFRIEND LIKES THE CD'S, I PERSONALLY LIKE THE BOOKS. THEY ARE BASICALLY THE SAME BOOKS YOU WOULD GET AT THE SELF HELP AREA IN THE BOOK STORE.
I'M THRILLED WITH THE CHANGES THAT I HAVE SEEN IN MY BOYFRIEND. HE'S SO MUCH MORE CONFIDENT AS WELL AS AWARE OF WHAT HE WEARS AND ACTS LIKE NOW. (HE'S AN OUTDOORSY GUY.) LIKE I SAID BEFORE NOT EVERYONES GOING TO AGREE WITH THE SYSTEM AND THE LEGALITY OF IT OR WHAT NOT. AND LIKE I'VE TO MY PARENTS MANY TIMES BEFORE, IF I END UP LOSING IN THE END, I'LL CUT MY LOSSES AND TAKE IT AS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE. BUT RIGHT NOW WE ARE DOING GOOD AND NOT IN THE RED.

Joe   Texas

Krystal, it's good that your upline gave you some CD's. But eventually, you will be an upline and then you'll be buying them to give away? Either that or your upline will "teach" you that a "serious" business owner must buy their own cd's.

Also, it's nice that your "team" sponsors IBOs under you. But did you know that stacking, as it's called, is the least profitable way to build an Amway business?

There have been some changes to Amway from ten years ago, but one thing has not changed. Nearly all IBO's lose money. IBOs on the system lose the most. That has not changed.

alright, so i read alot of these comments and just like everything, there are two sides. i am currently an IBO. just signed up in december. At first i went along with it just because my boyfriend was hooked but we just got back from richmond virginia where many ppl from my team as well as 25,000 other IBO's got together. i went there not knowing what to expect.I'm glad i went. The people on here talking about their upline, saying that they made them buy cd's and made them do other things obviously had sh*ty sponsers! I love my team! They are the most sincere ppl i think i have ever met. I laughed out loud when i read about how it broke up people's marriages. obviously there has to be more to the story. it's building teamwork in mine. our upline gave us free cd's and books were always there if we had a question. our team even hangs out, without talking about "the plan".

The plan itself has even changed. the model is now based on tap root. where unlike the original plan where your on you own to go out and search for new IBO's, your team puts people under you so you have immediate profit. i loved the fact that if you start up and don't like how it works or you change your mind or get scared away by sites like these then you can get you starting up money completely refunded! With XS, we go out and sell it to public we make it fun! We sponser our friends who ride motorcross and play hockey. For those who said that u need to have an ibo # to buy stuff are full of sh*t. LOG ON to the site... www.quitxtar.com and shop, add it to your cart and checkout. when it asks for an ibo #, there's a button to click if u dont have one. those points you just earned are going to be gifted to a qualified ibo... but i'm not going further into that.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, right or wrong, who knows who cares. If it ends up flopping on me, guess what? i made some good friends, got to go on some free out of state trips and had fun doing it.

This is great!

I am an IBO... and I've been one for at least a couple of months... total cash thus far = 0$.

Why?

There is no advantage to the consumer in buying AMWAY / QUIXTAR products if there is a WALMART (or even worst 2 WALMARTS) around the corner. Quixtar products are not the cheapest in the market and to put it in simple terms... any business which you need to depend on some scheme like structure to make money only complicates "more" the complicated world of business.

I have not quit on trying but I believe it is simpler to sell when you have the upper hand... (i.e. a cheaper product to sell).

i was in this stupid f---ing quixstar about 5 yrs ago it ruined my relationship with my now x wife, its a total waste of time and lots of money, she pretty much forced me to be in it saying i would be retired in 3 to 5 yrs, ha! the only thing i got retired from was her and her obsessed parents that were in it to, thank god!, i dreaded going to those meetings and having to speak in public, buying all the those stupid books and cds,,get rich quick! no way loose every thing quick is what it was.

All I know is that because of this scheme or whatever you "true believers" call it, I'm lonely now because about 5 months ago my girlfriend of 2 years left me because she needed and i quote "realize a dream" WHAT???? what dream she started to do it 2 months before we broke up and because she went to those stupid meetings and conventions they brainwashed her into believing in something that she didn't believe in before we believed in having a family and living together>>>>THAT'S A DREAM!!!!!!!!!! not that crap of being a diamond or whatever you morons call it

Now if that's not a cult then i don't know what is

ALL I KNOW IS THAT I MISS HER EVERYDAY THAT SHE HAS BEEN GONE AND IT'S ALL THANKS TO YOU QUIXTAR LAMES WHO HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH THEIR TIME

and yeah i have a job and that's how i met her by working hard like i was taught not by getting money fast you lames

Joe, I wasn’t really trying to prove anything. I just don’t understand the mindset that I see here from you and several others.

Of course tax-wise, it’s always prudent to show as little business income as possible in order to save as much tax as possible. You sound like someone who would understand that paper losses are not the same as actual losses so I probably don’t need to explain in detail. I’m sure you already know that some things are deductible to a business that aren’t deductible to an individual. For example, purchasing a car through a business is a deductible expense but the same car purchased for the same amount of money with the same loan payment and the same gas and maintenance expense, is not deductible to an individual. It doesn’t mean the business lost money on the car. In fact, it’s the opposite – the business lost money on paper in order to save money on the car. The individual purchasing the car is the one who spent money that was never recouped.

As far as buying products from Walmart and Costco. I’ve never been to Costco. I understand you buy a membership, purchase items in bulk, and you never get any of your $ back. I do shop at Walmart – they’ve never sent me a check at the end of a month. And, neither of these places carries Amway products. Amway products are great quality and economical. One box of Amway’s SA8 laundry detergent may cost twice what a brand in a store costs but it lasts several times longer making the per-use cost similar and possibly better depending on which brand you compare. It also gets my clothes looking clean, smelling clean, it doesn’t seem to damage them in any way, and it doesn’t trigger any of my skin sensitivities.

While, as you pointed out, I may not be saving a ton of gasoline because I still must drive to a store for eggs and milk, it’s awfully nice to have heavy boxes with detergent, dishwasher soap, body shampoo, and dog food arrive at my doorstep. Maybe since you’re not a girl, it doesn’t matter so much to you how heavy the items are in your grocery cart or how many trips you have to make back-and-forth from the car to the house to unload. It matters to me.

I also don’t understand why some people claim to have stocked up on products they didn’t want and didn’t intend to sell. Why would anyone do that? Especially with Quixtar when any customer can go to the website, place an order, pay with a credit card and have it shipped directly to their own house.

And why are people buying tapes/CDs they don’t want? Don’t buy them. If you want them but can’t afford them, borrow them from someone upline. And if you do CHOOSE to buy them, deduct them off your tax return. There’s no law that says you can’t deduct every dollar you earn – as long as the deductions are legitimate.

For me it came down to we were going to spend the money on these products anyway. Why not spend it in a way that puts a little money back into our pocket, gives us a vehicle for deducting expenses that normally wouldn’t be deductible on an individual tax return, and gives us quality products that we like using?

I know I’m getting waaaaaaaayy long here but there’s one more point I’d like to make. Many here say that Quixtar/Amway is a pyramid. I don't see how it could be. It has happened that a person downline can earn much more than a person upline. A person downline may be at a higher level than a person upline, too; for example, a diamond may have an upline who’s only a direct. IBO level and/or income are NOT based on your place in the line – it’s based on the work you’ve done and the results you’ve achieved.

I don't think Quixtar really works, why charge you to be a member, get books, cd's and attend meetings(conventions, etc..) when starting the system if supposedly this system will help you make money. They should start charging for all this things once the IBO starts making the system really work to prove that the money will come from selling, consuming and getting others to work this system.

Barb, did you report a next gain on your taxes?

If all you did was buy some products, but attended a function, it is very likely that you ended up with a net loss.

Also, because Amway products on average cost much more than Walmart or Costco, you could have saved a lot of money simply by not shopping thru Amway. Sure, you can save a few trips to the store by shopping online, but you still need the gas station and you still need to go to the market to buy fresh vegetables, eggs, bread, milk and meats.

So many IBO's claim they save money by shopping Amway but not one has been able to show evidence that it is true.

Barb   Cincinnati

12:55pm on Thursday, March 19th, 2009 

I'm curious about those of you who claim that IBOs at the bottom "lose" money. We were IBOs for many years. During that time all we did was purchase products we would have purchased anyway: toilet paper, deodorant, detergent, etc. Since we purchased them from our own business instead of someone else's, we got them at a reduced price. When we bought enough, we also got a check from the company. We clustered our purchases buying more in one month and none in the next so we could get the check. We would have bought these things anyway -- why not buy excellent, environmentally sound products at a discount and get money back? And, my stuff was delivered to my house. That sure beat going to the grocery or wherever to buy these things, cart them home and get no money back at the end of the month. So what makes you think we "lost" money? How is this not a good thing even if we never sold products? (Actually although we never solicited sales, but we did sell products because people heard we had Amway stuff and their products are great.) Several IBOs have told you they were never forced to buy tapes and CDs -- the only people who seem to think they were are people who never participated. We did CHOOSE to attend some of the functions. These were great fun. Plus, since we were business owners, the trips were tax-deductible. Ergo, we SAVED on taxes. Any other weekend away with my husband couldn't have done that! So how did we "lose"?

Where do I start? I have been a legitimate business owner and am living the dream-MY dream, my thoughts,my marketing, my time, my passion and truly helping people for the last two and a half years. It's based on my endeavors to maintain my integrity,peace of mind, desire to serve others and love what I do. I had a client who had been consistently using my services for over a year,(I am in alternative therapies) and was warm and personable; we had many wonderful discussions as well as great success in maintaining good health. Six months into it he introduced me to Quixtar(he was an IBO for over a decade) I knew the history but decided to enter as a prosumer. I was given free cd's and books from his library, and they sat for awhile. long story short, I became an IBO 5 months later. He had decided to start really working the business after all this time and hooked up tightly with his upline. I was struggling with questions about economic environment and trying to recruit and sell to people who couldn't afford to get in on any level. I was unable to get any satisfactory answers and was finally told I should talk to my upline. My call on that suggestion was never returned, even though I was "sharp" and was going to take off in this business. (my open house was very successful) I also have lost this person as a client because every spare moment is taken up on building his business. But I was to give up my Sunday when he called and had health issues that needed urgent attention. I have seen this person begin the isolation process and clone themselves into mini-uplines, not making a move without their approval. How sad and scary. I could no longer afford to build two businesses and had to get off cd's and functions;I have not been harassed about it but now that the younger people have been recruited and full of starry eyed dreams, my age and wisdom are working against me. I'm not that easily duped and I believe thinking for ones-self critical in growing into a person with integrity and character. I don't hate anyone and have already witnessed how some in the business call us idiots for getting out, but I know what cult-like behavior is and have viewed it personally, as a matter of fact am just about to pay off the balance of it 5 months later from a major function. I was already living the dream of my own business, and am passionately and successfully doing so.

Every business is in some form a pyramid... CEO at the top that makes the most money and on down the line. Think about it. Government. Any independent business requires an investment and lots of time. Most people fail in all areas of business because of the lack of investments. The stock market makes money for some at the loss of others. Anybody with a desire to achieve can make a great living at this or any business plan. If this were an illegal business, wouldn't it have been shut down long ago? And now it is in their 50th year? Hummmmm

well this is just my opinion i think this is a fair business some people in life dont like doing things like this i laugh at one guy who said he only recruited 1 person in a year lol i recruit 2 people a week thats the easy part the hard part is working with people that are serious. You can call it what you like scam whatever but i know it works for me ive gone platinum finally took me 3 years and 34 days to be exact so everyone gets there eventually funny though if you follow the system. I agree people do make money off the cds and dvds and meetings but i for one dont buy much of those things i have a mind of my own so i dont spend alot in this business. It is true you make around $2,700 a month now which i finally saw in feb not alot but something i do work in a job and hope maybe 5 years from now i wont have to ill give it my best shot. I really love this business for 1 reason motivation makes you feel good about life especially with these tough times. I felt its better to be around people that are a bit positive then a group of moaning negatives all around you. People that are negative bring you down why be around these people they are like maggots anyway good luck to all

It is against Amway rules to be involved in another MLM. If Amway finds out you are in Avon, you may be terminated.

Aisha   Milwaukee, WI

First I wanted to start off by saying, THIS IS NOT A SCAM! I am a IBO with Amway/Quixtar along with also selling Avon and doing other things. I love money! I have been selling Avon for about 2 1/2 years. I love it! I just started this business on February 17, 2009. I love it already! I am going to receive a check on the 15th of this month (March). I have already calculated my earnings. It is not much, but it is a start. I did not start off making money like this in Avon, but I am doing really good in it now. I used what I learned fron Avon and incorporated it in this business. It works! I do not have to buy cds or magazines or whatever. My upline provides all of those tools to me for free. All that I have done so far is recruited one person and switched some of my buying habits. (I bought some things) What can help, is to first look at it as getting a rebate check from Boston Store or what ever store. That's how I'm looking at it right now. It's better than not getting any thing back. Yes, some of the products are high. But, use you judgement, you're not going to buy everything from them, just some things that you feel are a deal or are really worth it. If you're going to sell it, then you should at least use some of it. Most businesses start off slow (in making money). So this is normal (the check). It's a start! You should have to invest something. No one goes into business without investing something, otherwise what are you going to get back from a free business. It wouldn't be a real business would it? How would they make their money? Now, this may not be for every one because God did not give us all the same talents. But, if you pray on it, like I did, then God will direct you in the right path. It either is going to be yes or no. What ever you decide to do in life, you should always ask God first. I am tring to put some of my best in this business without spending much. But that's what works for me! You may be different. I'm using my own judgement.

What's funny is how IBO's resort to criticizing people who do not agree with their views about
Amway, but they do not talk about actually running a business and making a profit.

You are the average of the 5 people you hang out with most. Does anyone want to argue about that? Who should you listen to? A person who is successful at what they do or someone who knows everything but has no success at all. Thank about it.

Those that have negative things to say about this business have no say...no experience...
i am an IBO.i encourage everyone to do this.it has changed my life.. All it takes is an effort! people put it off and since they think about it all the time, they think they arent making money.. but in reality, if you were out there making effort, you could easily be free in two-5 years.

Brian from Phoenix - Excellent posts dude. Its funny how these IBO's retort to criticism with hate and corny one liners. Nobody can make 1 strong argument in favor of this SCAM and yet they defend it like their life depended on it.
I hope someday the veil will be lifted from their eyes and they will be able to see this business for what it is - a GIANT scam.
Good luck duping people out of their money till then.

I am not sure who showed you all what Amway is about, however they showed you the wrong direction to success with this business. That is the problem with all the negative that surrounds AMWAY, there are people out there making this business an AMWAY Business, the way they think it is the way everyone is suppose to run their business. No business is get rich fast, however some teach it that away. Most are making money off tools they sell, not the business.

I am an IBO and I use AMWAY GLOBAL and I have a successful team that makes their business their own business. I do not sell tools I share tools at no cost with my team. Until you are at a Platinum level in this business we share our tools, we invest in our team. We do not want them spending money on tools when they need to support their families. Tools are a positive part of the business, but only a part. If you have leadership that is supportive not dictating your future, then success is what YOU make of it.

All Independent Business Owners businesses are run differently, all businesses out there use a main product, that is provided by a corporation, and the way you choose to sell the product or build your business is your choice, however the corporation has guidelines that allows everyone to have success equally.

Success is guaranteed with AMWAY GLOBAL as long as you are working the business that fits your needs, and that you are teaching others truth and positive that this company brings to all IBO's. Failure from personal conflicts with your ability to successfully run a business should not affect the abilities of others that can be successful.

I would love to speak with any of you and give you more clear experience of what is available to you with this opportunity.

FOR CONCERN OF AMWAY BEING A CULT:

WE DO NOT WORSHIP ANYONE IN THIS BUSINESS, WE DO NOT GO TO LEADERSHIPS TO IDOLIZE ANYONE OR DEVOTE OUR BELIEFS INTO OTHERS. WE ARE NOT A SMALL GROUP GATHERING SOULS.

Amazing what others have done to allow such anger and negative to inspire individuals, so sorry most of you experienced the unprofessional line of leadership to make a positive future for you. However, I would be honored to share my testimony with you and inspire you that your future and your goals should be established by your choices not the choices of others.

Mike C from GA,

I do not believe for one second that you saw the plan 4 years ago and you know it works. I call BS on you.

The system can work for some, but it cannot work for most people. The plan clearly illustrates that. The majority must be on the bottom for a handful at the top to profit. Also, what is not mentioned here is that the few at the top benefit in two ways. They profit from your Amway volume, and they also profit from your purchases on cd's and function tickets. perhaps more from the latter than the former.

I think that almost everyone posting here is doing one of two things.
1. There are not thinking, they are just spouting off at the mouth.

or

2. They truly know nothing about running or starting a business.

I don't want to go into a full discussion here but I'll do what I can. First off, I'm not and never have been a Quixtar IBO. I have seen the presentation and the plan about 3-4 yrs ago. It may have changed some. But its pretty much the same I'm sure. Anyways. There is basically one FACT to prove here. And that is the fact that Quixtar is a system. Some say it's a legalized pyramid scheme. That it MAY be. But I can honesty say that if you look at the system. IT DOES WORK. PERIOD. Thats a fact. You can't deny that. If the system is followed, it will make money. All good business is run with a system. But there are two things that must coincide (spelling prolly wrong) with the business. If they don't then its set up for disaster.
1. The system must work.

The system does work, we have already established that. next:

2. People must believe or "have faith" with the system.
Cause if not. If it was working, it will stop. It will stop working the second that the belief is gone.
Just like the dollar. After gold was striped away and no longer backed the dollar. Money, in reality, is now only a system. And the system works great. But the minute that someone stops believing in the dollar and the system. It will crumble. And it has been said one day, maybe sooner or later, that system may fail too. But thats a subject for another post about a whole nother topic. anyway, i was just using that to show as an example. The belief and faith in the system is not there anymore. So it will rarely work.

Garrett,

Of course some people make money in Quixtar. Some people also make money in ponzi schemes, some people make money gambling or playing the lottery. In the case of Amway/Quiatxr, gambling, or the lottery or ponzi schemes, "some" people profit, the vast majority make nothing or lose money.

Quixtar is simply this: an opportunity to make money doing something. That's it. Some people go to a job for $9 an hour and come home with their $1500 a month and are happy because they aren't being "scammed". Some are happy because they've spent years moving up in their careers and now make $20 an hour. They take their $40000 a year and go home. I've watched Amway/Quixtar for many years and if the model ends up being "go find people that will purchase products and then help them find people that will purchase products" so what? A scam? No. They tell you right up front what you're going to be doing. What I like about Quixtar is the positivity almost everyone has. Yeah, most don't make huge money. Making money isn't easy or everyone would be rich. What I find a shame is that people will trade an hour of their life for a relatively small, yet safe, amount of money. So what if the potential in Quixtar is in getting people to use the products they sell? If "scamming" a few "fools" into buying products so I can get a kickback is wrong, then so is your boss telling you what you and your life is worth every year. At least I like my boss.

VIDEO SPEAKS LOUDER THAN BLOG. SEARCH YOU TUBE THIS KEYWORD Quixtar scam.Busted by NBC.

FINANCIAL REPORTS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN BIG TALK
In 2005 Quixtar annual sales in revenue was $1058 in millions. OK! Wow! If you say there are millions member in Quixtar and Percent you get average will be 3% which will be $31.74 of $1058 divided by million members. Whats left?

I agree that it is a scam. I was a member for a year and I spent about $600 dollars buying products and recruited one member and I got a check back for $9.00 and that was it for the whole year. The 600 did not include the registration fee, then you have to renew every year and pay a registration fee again.
To be able to get your bonus you should at least make 100 PV(which are basically points) in order to get 100 you have to spend or sell massive amount of products. Now if you want higher points return you have to buy their "special products" which cost tons and tons of money.

I was in Quixtar for 5 yrs. Everything the 5 star ppl are saying is exactly what they were trained to say. I did the cd/tapes/books/seminars/major functions diligently for 5 yrs. I showed the recommended # of plans. i made up to 35$ one month. but the "program" they say you have to have to succeed ate that and much more. I have been Quixtar free for 2 yrs. Already bills are paid off(im not putting money in a business, im paying bills) almost all the credit cards i needed to attend the pricey functions are paid off, i have xtra money every month. the way i see it? 5yrs losing money getting broke with lots of frustration and empty promises. 1.5 yrs no quixtar bills paid happy life, retirement looks good as im able to put the money that was going to the scam into a real investment and future. Ask yourself how much your upline makes on the cd and program. Its more than they get from the product. that's a fact

"Guys, we are being programmed to be employed in the corporate world by our teacher who is also employed by some board of education. What is the harm in opening your mind and thinking about doing something different - 'Differently'"

And your Amway upline is programming you to join, lose money and think that is success. By the way, what teachers "program" their students to be employed? I don't know of any teachers who advocate a job versus a business. That is a myth taught by Amway promoters.

Guys, we are being programmed to be employed in the corporate world by our teacher who is also employed by some board of education. What is the harm in opening your mind and thinking about doing something different - 'Differently'.

When you join Quixtar, you are just resurfacing your Dreams. And trying to achieve your dreams by doing something. Forget about the money that you are going to loose, because, anyhow you are going to loose.

Couple of comments that i read seemd to me as if 'Somebody baked a cake for sometime, and is now telling how the cake tastes'. Give a good time to bake, and let your neighbours smell it. Then tell me if Quixtar is good or not..Give it a shot.

Lemonade franchising, its a great idea. 'Just do it'. You will get it what does it take an IBO to get 1 Downline.

Hey everyone I just started my own lemonade stand business! I will walk around the mall informing people they can make millions by learning how to sell lemonade under me, and then they can teach others how to sell lemonade under them. All they have to do is pay 200 and I will give them awesome lemonade selling books and dvds!! They have to order lemonade from my company though they cant buy or make their own. Every week we will meet and they will pay me $1000 for entry to a rally where I will give them great success tips and talk about how great selling lemonade is instead of a boring $60,000 a year job that you need a dreadful degree to get. If anyone questions me I will just throw facts at them about how 9 billion people are members. It will blow them away. I don't need a job I can just bother people at the mall all day and spend hours telling them about the lucrative business of a lemonade stand!!!

I like how someone mentioned that the program is successful because it is modeled after the McDonalds franchise....I can't tell you how many times I have heard that from desperate IBO's trying to recruit. I guess I will start setting up lemonade stands modeled after the McDonalds franchise and the millions will just start rolling in!

Only a dunmmy would buy into a program that makes them buy products from the same company you joined, at an inflated price, then, buy cds, magazines, etc.

It is ridiculous. Why fall for the same old things! buy this cd and listen while you drive and it will motivate you. HA! HA! HA!

Whosoever is on here and bigging up Quixtar, needs to tell us why anyone in their right mind should join! Show us the compensation plan! Show us how many people apart from your own IBOs have bought products from Quixtar!

Can anyone answer that?

Kimberly   NJ

2:45pm on Thursday, January 1st, 2009 

I am reading a lot of hostility from IBOs on here. For those of you who are IBO's shouldn't your answer be "It is okay if you want to turn away from the same oppurtunity that I have had. It just may not be for you. I am doing well in my business because...." Turning around and stabbing someone who has a difference of opinion is not professional... I was a Mary Kay Consultant. I enjoyed my time with them because I seriously loved the products but I was 100% behind the products going into it. I was a little turned off by Quixtar at first because they said "The products you sale you learn through time" when I think of a business I think of someone who knows the products they are investing their time in BEFORE going into the business. You also then have investers/charity functions and fund raisers to start a capital in order for you to stock things. Also in the real business world you would need govt tax id in order to sell products.
Another thing that is concerning me is I asked some Platinum/Diamond members if they think that the economy has any effect on their business. And the couple that I asked had said, "No". which to me, doesn't make sense. With the economy as bad as it is..people have less money to spend. And they will be less willing to just by "Stuff". Costum Jewlery, Perfume...and Artistry? When I went to a meeting I heard them say "Artistry is the #1 highest grossing or profitable in cosmetics for online" I then ran a test, I asked 78 people if they ever heard of Artistry. And then I asked them if they heard of Mary Kay. ANd an overwhelming majority never heard of Artistry. Random people I asked. Not one was someone that I knew.

Now all of this negative talk from me are just feelings and some judgement. Feelings are neither wrong or right...so don't sit there critisizing my feelings of extreme faliure here with the business.

Positives are, the concept can work if you are higher up in the chain and you are a good salesman. Now if you are allowed to make your own website and broadcast your own products from the business at the deals you want instead of being forced to keep it at retail price on the websites (because adding an ecommerce is NOT ROCKET SCIENCE) then that would be truly your own business. But from what uplines say..."that is a NO NO". Really? doesn't sound too good.

What I am actually planning on doing is becoming an IBO for the baby products. I am due in Feb of 2009. I will be able to save quite a bit...which does follow the concept of "buyers club" however, my team is doing the down-leg concept to which people that we come across that are interested we are going to put that person under the last person that we signed up. So we all become sponsers and help each other out faster.

i have only 1 thing to say to negative people go crawl in your hole how is your job looking maybe not so good keep hanging with the misery because it does love company funny how people blog in here about something they know for sure nothing about. This is a win win business if you cant see it well good luck to you and your job as for me i am not looking to go diamond just a platinum or ruby which is truly not that hard. The funny thing is someone said only the upline makes money well for your information the guy below me is making more not alot more but more ponzi scheme the only ponzi scheme is in your psychotic brains all you negative minds out there. People make me laugh because i am laughing all the way to the bank to cash my check yes its not rich money yet but an extra $1,250 a month so far is not that bad i know there are many people out there that can use this money pays the rest of my bills although i am debt free way before this business thank God but i will tell you i am not here to convince anyone to join not my job my job is to seek people that are motivated and positive and have a passion for dealing with people if this is not for you i didnt put a gun to your head dont do it i dont care because i find the people each and every day its such a win win business its a joke amazing love the products love the free shipping on our exclusive line go ahead im not telling you to not buy polald the poison spring water go ahead i just love the perfect water the taste is awesome and i dont let any bashers not loet me succeed you want to bash go right ahead dont matter because either way this works for me thank God for Amway Global made 6.7 billion wonder what other companies did that well this year oh by the way goodbye enron, lehamn brothers, the list goes on cant wait till people get their pension what a joke how can one live on half their pay after they retire when they can barely live on full pay oh by the way social security its gone by 2042 starts in 2018 per experts so basically youll have nothing when you retire in this business i dont have to worry because the money will always come in no one firing you no layoffs why noy buy my own things in my own website why wait on lines spend money on gas which by the way is going up again in august per experts this is a fun business around positive people negative minds= disaster and misery for me this is not a dream not looking for diamond stats be more then happy either platinum or ruby which is so achievable good luck in your job or any business that you do happy new year 2009 happy new year amway global 50 years and counting

Karla from OK "I am an IBO who simply buys products and love them. "

Joe replies: That's nice but you do realize that buying your own products is not a business activity. Many IBO's are taught to buy their own stuff. Quixtar itself says that less than 5% of products are sold to non IBO's. That means 95% (or more) of Quixtar products are only sold from IBO's to themselves. That is not business, that's a buyer's club. If there are few customers, then upline is making money from downline almost exclusively. That's only the products. Uplines make even more from selling cd's and seminars and there aren't any non IBO customers for this other business.

IBO's are getting taken to the cleaners by upline and they think they are running a business - but they aren't.

its funny why people bash one another in what they want to do with their life. If it dont work for you get lost no one is telling you to join this business. In fact no one is putting a gun to your head saying you have to do this business. If you dont like it go get a job and see where it gets you called nowhere. If you want to work for the rest of your life go ahead no one is stopping you but some complaining about how tired you are because you do it to yourself so called negatives of the world. I am honest about what I do which ive been in this business for almost 8 months now make about 1300 a month now this is not much but it is better then nothing. I am debt free thank God not because of this business though because of good investments but i dont work in a job anymore and I thank God everyday. I run another successful business not just this one but I will tell you for the guy who said we are debt free. If you know anything about dun and bradstreet you would know when a company gets a 5a1 credit rating which only 6 other companies have in the world then if you look it up you will see we are debt free. You have to realize this business is not for everyone and I hope whatever you do in life makes you alot of money but understand every business had pros and cons because if you can find me one that doesnt sign me up love to join. Amway advertises now because it wants to spread the word out of who we are but i like the fact I can talk to people via word of mouth and besides I have many doctors and dentists in my organizaion now and they see the concept. I just love morons who think this is a pyramid wake up if I work not as hard as you who makes the money sure as not me you need to wake up your brain and realize the only pyramid in life is your so called job period. The problem with people is they want to live mediocore and if thats what you want go ahead i meet so many people that have no goals no dreams no desires they are big and fat why because they dont exercise and use every excuse known to mankind with losers words like i can't its too hard im tired this is called a loser unless you have a disability then i understand. As for this business it keeps getting better and better and you have to realize most people just dont follow the system they have an ego i did not anymore because for your information i get my cds for free i dont know who told you that you have to spend this money because i get them all the time from my upline the only money which is a joke i put out in this business every month is for my website 18 bucks and communicate which is 35 bucks as far as buying the same thing i buy at the store maybe 250-300 a month i make my money off people called duplication very easy for me anyway will it take me another 5-10 years to go diamond maybe but its funny how someone said the average ibo makes 145000 as a diamond wake up moron they have to say that for the fdc. The average ibo that i know which is alot of diamonds makes millions and they said the average ibo makes 115 dollars thats a joke no one in my downline makes less then 650 a month please maybe the upline they know isnt as ambitious as i am. ANYWAY GOOD LUCK IN WORKING UNTIL YOUR 72 NICE ECONOMY KEEP YOUR DAY JOB ILL STICK TO MY 2 BUSINESSES WHERE I DONT NEED AN ALARM CLOCK OR A BOSS TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO ENJOY

Joe- Texas, you are absolutely right, most of McDonald's franchises DO succeed!!! But, they also cost around $1 million to own. I do not know about you, but I don't have that knd of change just laying around!! Quixtar is an excellent opportunity for someone who has little capital, but is will to work hard for their dreams. The problem is that not many people know what kind of work that it takes to make a business successful....which is why people sometimes do not succeed at Quxitar. Bottom line, if you do the work, and follow what they teach you to do, you will be successful at Quixtar. If you are not ready to put 15-20 hours a week into Quixtar, and to follow what the uplines teach, you will likely fail. However, if you DO put 15-20 hrs./wk into this business, and if you CAN follow instructions, you have a good shot at making an extra $2500/month at Quixtar. That would get alot of working mom's home at that level, especially when you factor in today's cost of child care.

If Quixtar is too difficult for you, it's OK. Quit Quixtar and say hello to another 30-40 years of the 8 to 5 grind. Those of us who are motivated will keep pursuing our dreams and goals anyways of being free. Even if we do not acheive it, at least we are TRYING to do something about our situation, rather than just ACCEPTING that we have to work for the rest of our lives!!!

It is just a business. Either work this one or do something else. I am an IBO who simply buys products and love them. My upline are great people. IN any business there are irritating and bad with social skills people. But, before you slam Amway - you need to find out more about it because from most of these ignorant comments I have just read I see how much you do not understand business.

Every business has its rules and regulations. Follow them and you will thrive in the business. I know for a fact that buying all the motivational products are not a requirement. If you want to do Amway/Quixtar you can make some honest money and good friends.

Don't be so simple - it is not a cult - it's a business. If you do not like the upline you are dealing with- find an upline that you can work with.

I did attend one of the meetings and I experienced the same thing that mentioned here. first of all they did not like when you asked reasonable questions. I was told that the person that invited me will answer it, which never got answered.
Let me ask the all Ibo's the same question maybe you can convince me that it is a good thing.
Why people should shop at your website when they can buy it at the store for better price. You have to offer the public something better, cheaper so you can gain their interest and business. All that speech about getting reach and what would I do when I will be rich. I know what money can buy you don't need to make me day dream. You tell me how is it you are helping me to make money? You could not convince me why I should pay more and shop at your website, and not at the local store for less. Good luck to you whoever believes in it. I will check back in few years. I hope you will have the same opinion about it. Wish you all the luck you need.

My dear people.I spent over ten years in the old Amway ststem before it was restructured. It simply works.You youngsters in the Quixtar business should hold on to your dreams and keep the business simple.I replaced my income years ago with Amway income. Yes it was busy work and negative people but Ya know the people that steal your dreams will not pay you bills.There are always greedy people that try to distort every idea that they dislike. Go find a successful IBO and learn from them.Hopefully you have one in your upline. Listen to your Diamond. I have seen the checks for consistent diligence .Read the book "The Go Getter.I quit for health reasons .

It is a pyramid scheme- end of story. If it was not why wouldn't they allow you to own your own domain name and do SEO (search engine optimization) on the site so it would rank on Google for keywords like "buy vitamins online" or anything that a consumer would type in to find your biz. If you are still in doubt it is a pyramid scheme look at the diagram of the "plan" in the literature they pass out at the first meeting where they try and recruit you.

On a final note why would someone buy a case of 12 XS Energy drinks through quikstar for 35$ when a case of 12 red bulls can be purchased for 25$??? Are these products that Amway makes and quikstar markets the best in the world? The answer is no! If they were they would be in every gas station across the world.

The bottom line is people lie; numbers do not!

DO NOT QUIT COLLEGE FOR QUIXSTAR (unless you are an easily brainwashed conservative christian willing to chow down on whatever S*** it put in front of you. then you should. really.) These people tell you how to think, what to believe, and how to vote! Amway funnels HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars into the republican party, which in turn goes on shopping sprees for Sara Palin, who SHOULD be watching her prosti-tot daughter instead, trying to prevent baby no 3. It is a SCAM, the money all floats to the top, and you will NEVER get there. I have seen beautiful young girls brainwashed and spending YEARS, throwing every dollar they make into their biz, so they can live at home with their moms, with an OLD bucket of a car, and get no where in life. I quit quixstar, KNOWING i could have ROCKED it. KNOWING i could have gone Diamond by 30. KNOWING i could have all my financial troubles taken care of. but i cant bring myself to give up EVERYTHING i believe in in order to do it! I am more human than that and i would rather be poor than sell my soul to some mega-corp

What can you believe anymore anyway?
If it doesnt work for you then GET OUT of it.
Who is to stop you from leaving???
You try out a car before you buy right?
This may cost a little money but its all about how you go about it. What you purchase and or sell.
Most people work for eight hours a day and make thier living everyday same old thing.... Not to quit your job but also work as you see fit on a team or ladder system, with Amway you can earn tons of money.... EARN.... its how to go about it. Advertising is'nt everything..... In starting buisnesses alot of them has to be word of mouth about the enviroment its around or the products they sell. Same with this but buy internet usage. Again its how smart you can do this... the people above you get paid with your help and with their help you can know how to go about things.... be sure you get with someone that fully understands what and how the system works..... Some people are not prepared how they should be everyone should know that.... but dont get it from one source.... ASK AROUND! If your the idiot that buys a car on impulse with out driving a few other cars or going around for car insurance your niot going to pick the first one........ come on people...... Look into it and talk around..... No Scam.... It takes work to be successful in any line of work you do..... FACT!

I went to a Quikstar meeting and even went to the house of the guy that tried to recruit me. He claimed that unless I bought a motivational CD for the price of $10 every week, that I wouldn't make it. So, I asked him if I could have a copy of all of his previous CD's, since remember "If I succeed it's good for him" right? So, why wouldn't he just give me his CD's, so I could succeed? He froze, and couldn't figure out a way to answer. That's when I knew that quikstar is just trying to make some easy money off of people by selling bullshit motivational material.

If it were about succeeding in business and selling products, they would mail you those CDs free of charge. Think about it.

Jose and Big John - check my facts? How about you present some facts? As I said, the TV commercials are great for Amway, and does nothing for "Jose Enterprises" or whatever you call your business. All it does is give you the ability to say "see, Amway has commercials, they must not be a scam". As I also said, Amway is fine, it is the individual IBOs who are scamming people, as taught by their LOS.

The wealthiest people in the world endorse Amway? Liar, name some of these people. Put up or shut up.

Tried Amway and failed? I think not. Why you think it's great while you yourself are losign money is a mystery to me. Of course you could try to prove that you are making money.

Hey Joe from Texas. I am very successful with Amway. If you read magazines and watch tv, you will notice Amway is running adds on major networks. Do you think those magazines and television channels would advertise a scam and risk there own reputation? Also the wealthiest people in the world endorse Amway. Did they miss something? I think NOT!

Joe From Texas. Amaway is the real DEAL! You should check your facts. Yes you did miss somethings, a little thing called facts. Do some acutal research. Anybody who puts an effort into this, will reap the rewards. It's obvious you must have tried Amaway and failed. Amway didn't fail you. Did you even give an effort?

Ronna Pierson, Quixtar is not like McDonald's. McDonald's is a franchise opportunity and quixtar isn't. The vast majority of McDonald's owners make a net profit, the opposite is true of quixtar. How do you know if quixtar is debt free? Read this from amquix info website:

"Tokyo, Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Amway Japan Ltd., a seller of houseware products, will use the proceeds of a $500 million syndicated loan to refinance existing debt, Amway and arranger J.P. Morgan & Co. said.

Ratings agency Fitch has given the loan a ``BBB-'' rating, making Amway Japan one of the first Japanese companies to have a syndicated loan rated by a credit agency."

Donna from CA, tell me what the big picture is? The majority of IBO's lose money. The average active IBO makes $115 a month. Am I missing something?

" This business has to do with character, attitude and the willingness to work."

And nearly all other business have to do with making a bottom line profit. Why do quixtar IBO's think profiting isn't a priority?

I hope Steve doesn't visit McDonalds, or Burger King, or purchase anything from Avon ... Quixtar/Amway is based, actually, on the business model of McDonalds. One need not be ignorant on the subject, simply research. Besides, Quixtar is debt free, private, American and Green. Now that's a winning combination in my book!

Donna   CA

Joe, Texas - Just because you don't see the big picture doesn't mean this doesn't work. This is for people who have dreams and goals and are willing to put in the hard work. Some make it, some don't. So what. You don't have to like it. You don't have to do the business. For those who want to, let them. This business has to do with character, attitude and the willingness to work.

Dan from Wisconsin said: "It's too bad so many are given inaccurate information"

Joe says: How about some facts then shall we?

The average active of a Quixtar IBO is $115 a month (Before taxes and expenses)

Most IBO's quit within a year

Less than 5% of products are sold to people who are not distributors.

IBO's dedicated to the seminars and tapes are likely to suffer losses and go into debt.

Average diamond earns $146,000 gross income

Quixtar products generally cost more than the same or comparable products at Costco or Walmart.

I have yet to see an IBO provide any proof that they are making what they are claiming. Most IBO's cannot even describe their busienss structure to provide evidence that they are making any profit.

These are facts.

It's too bad so many are given inaccurate information.It seems that the only people with a poor review are the ones whom failed at this business. Do not slander Quixtar, becaused you did not suceed. When you get into this business you are given all the tools you need to be sucessful, did you use them? Most do not and fail, and now they have a bad outlook about Quixtar. I did use these tools availble to me, and now I live like a rockstar!

Quixtar is NOT A SCAM. If you are not interested in it dont do it !!! And by you writing nagitive things about it just shows that you do care about Quixtar because other wise you would not spend your time on writing how rediculouse it is. So if you think its a scam leave it alone dont write comments about it !! I know alot of people who'm quixtar helped them change their life.
You should try it its great !!

I dated someone who was involved in Quixtar for quite some time. It was a CULT. I even attended a few meetings with him and it was ridiculous. People were faking how much they were making and bragging that they skipped their utility bill so that they could buy tools. Are you kidding me? Cult! If you don't see that, it is because you are in it. They tell you not to watch TV, don't hang around people that are negative towards the business, and they strongly suggest the "tools". Guess what you idiots...it is the tools that are making the money for this organization. Dateline did a whole expose on it. I continually would ask my ex questions about the business and he didn't even know. He had no idea. He was just using blind faith. They played into his dreams and he lost money every year (by the time you subtracted the cost of tools, conferences, and over priced products). I on the other hand made six figures selling for an actual real sales organziation. It's a shame that people don't do their research on this. They pull people away from their families and life so that they can reach their "dreams". Meanwhile, you people are not investing in your real careers and not getting anywhere. Making 30k a year at some dead end job so that you can work your downline is just stupid business sense. Well, survival of the fittest. Let people in Quixtar do this...the rest of us will prosper while they waste their time and become brainwashed

Dave from Maryland Wrote: Joe in Texas wrote,
"I make a million bucks a year pointing out all the reasons why quixtar is not a good business for most people to get involved with." Gee so we should take the word of the guy who gets paid to say negative things about a business, but the Better Business Bureau approves of Quixtar and we should ignore that? #1 internet site for customer satisfaction, and #1 in repeat sales. Before Joe chimes in with a bogus claim that those standings are done by Quixtar, NOPE, indepently rated. (Hmmmmm, I wonder if "Joe" has any credibility?)

Joe says: Obviously I wrote that as a somewhat sarcastic response to "Milt from Oregon who said "I make $800K/yr after only 6yrs"

Another point Dave, can you shwo us where the Better Business Bureau approves of quixtar? A quixtar website itself says quixtar has a satisfactory rating from the BBB but nowhere does the BBB give an "approval" to any business. At least get your facts straight.

You know, the bottom line is whether IBO's are making money. If they really were making money, they would be happy and wouldn't care what anyone says about the business on the internet. But because you guys are probably losing money, you feel a need to come here and justify yourselves to placate the doubts in your mind as you see red ink month after month.

I went to my 1st quitar meeting on 11/24/08.
When I got their the guy that was the main speaker was late when he did begin to speak he tryed to gain our trust with his corny jokes while advertising his energy drink. Everyone their besides the newcomers claim they where making money, yet their appearance showed otherwise. I wasnt buyin anything he said and i didnt understand why we couldnt ask question.. when all the old members spoke they never told us how much we might make and how long it might take..all they kept saying "if u have any questions ask the person who referred you" The whole time i was their i was thinking Matrix scheme,Pyramid scheme,Ponzi scheme and so on.. you might wanna research those if you thinking bout being apart of this "business"

Truth is most people dont wanna order simple products they can get from the corner store.. espesically in new york city...We love to shop in person that way you can see the product compare prices and see if it fits.

quixtar turns good people into con artist. They pray on peoples desperate state of mind. They make it seem like being a doctor are a lawyer was a heart attack waiting to happened. The IBO told us he only have an high school education then he proceed to show us his $20,000 check. But what he didnt say was it took him 6years and climbing on top of hopeful people to get that check.

Matt and Dave, I made the comment about making a million bucks a year in a response right below me to Milt from Oregon who said "I make $800K/yr after only 6yrs"

I have yet to hear a success story from an IBO that can be verified or even remotely believeable. There are certain business parameters that can be used to determine whether your stories of success are even possible and the stories posted on this blog so far have been laughable at best.

I agree with Marcus from Michigan. Many IBO's are duped into joining by the lure of easy wealth and early retirement. Yes, some people make it big in Quixtar, but 99% or more do not make any significant income, and worse, the leaders who sell the tapes and seminars are making most of their money from the tapes and seminars. IBO's are just getting fleeced financially while thinking that Quixtar will be their financial savior.

Marcus   Michigan

12:22pm on Monday, November 24th, 2008 

Quixtar upline and leaders are masters of sociology know as Social Engineering. Many of the phrases used by the current IBOs posting show me this. I was involved in this "Business" for over a two years reaching the Platinum Level. Personal experiences and research lead me to define Quixtar as a cult. They use your hopes and dreams against you(false motivations) and prey on your fears. This business may have produced many millionaires, but you must consider how many IBO have entered the field. Research the numbers and you will conclude Quixtar/Amway is the most inefficient "successful" large business of all time. With a 99% of IBO losing money. I apologize to those I involved, and can only hope of for those who continue in this "business." Here are two statistics I leave you with 85% margin in tools and about 30% margin on products from the website. Also 95% of profit gained by Quixtar/Amway is produced from the pockets of hard working IBO's over purchasing products for personal use to meet specified PV/BV goals, and purchasing motivational tools. 5% from product purchases on the online database via non-affiliated Quixtar customers. I would greatly recommend doing research before you join this "business". To Joe,Texas I thank you for your obligation to deterring people from this "opportunity". Also to anyone reading Joe’s comments he obviously either was also once involved in the business or truly gets paid to do this. Either way he is credible, his extensive knowledge of the Quixtar model shows this.

I have read most of the comments on this page and it is funny how you can tell just from reading who actually understands how Quixtar works and who does not. It is unfortunate that JOE from TEXAS has such little self asteem that he brags about how much money he makes attempting to belittle others with his all day blogging sessions. Joe, maybe if someone explained to you how the plan and organization really work you would not be so bitter about those out there that actually have dreams and goals. A few notes, if explained properly, Quixtar is for people to supplement their income while they still work. As for pricing, alot of the local market prices in your traditional stores are more than Quixtar prices depending on where you live. Hey, JAKE in IOWA, you asked why you don't see the products in stores. Alot of the products merchandised through Quixtar are from Forune 500 companies, therefore you see them in stores everyday. Also, alot of people are selling the energy drinks in the open market, they just aren't doing it right in your neighborhood apparently. J.T. in St. Louis, you stated they make money off of other IBO's. Well that would be a pyramid scheme and therefore it would not have been igned off on by the FTC. One more thing. The original article on this site says that Quixtar used a model from Amway. Duh, Qixtar is Amway. They gave it a treny name for the new century and kept the same business plan they have been using since Amway's inception, thats because it works. And yes, I have seen the proof, live and in person. It just goes to show that people that don't know what they are talking about, are the loudest to scream foul.

The above comments by Mr. Albright are misleading, but at least he admits he's trying to generate business for himself.

I have two websites, one was free, and I CHOSE what to display on that site. The second one I PAID FOR outside of Quixtar, and again I CHOSE what to put on that site.

You DO NOT have to be referred by an IBO. You CAN call the company and ask to join. The company will direct you to your nearest Diamond, who will sign you up or give you somebody geographically closer to work with...., and you never have to speak to that person again. Just tell them you want to be left alone to do business by yourself, and they will leave you alone. I know because I have seen several people do just that. They don't attend meetings or seminars, and they don't buy CD's or Books through Quixtar either.

DIANA in VA, Quixtar DIDN'T lie, YOU IDIOT, your "FRIEND" ordered extra stuff and lied to you that Quixtar made the mistake. Hello, there is an unconditional money back guarantee, and YES I have tried the guarantee, and it does work! So she should have had YOU call the company, but wait, that would've exposed her as a thief. Sorry but sometimes dishonest people get into an honest business.

In my opinion, if you need to earn extra money you are better off getting a part-time job. Quixtar has very high priced products and it isn't because the quality justifies the price. You can get the same quality at Walmart for much lower prices.

Quixtar/Amway needs to move into the 21st century. They have a sub-par business plan with a very low compensation structure compared to other direct selling companies.

What can be a more simple business than one that a person can do from home and service a small customer base . Products from Quixtar are of good quality. You can find one person that wants earn a n extra income and teach them what you do.If you can find one person then others will be interested also.The training information is available as any company would provide for their sales people.There is no place in the world a person can began with little to no money and earn money by having a small customer base and then training them as you learn to grow your business. Some will be interested and some will not. Don' be afraid of all the negative comments you may get. I don't buy all the products I see in the stores I visit just as people will buy according to their likes and dislikes.Most people can not see the simplicity of a Quixtar business because it is different.Of course the more successful sales people will make more than you do but you will grow your business as your needs demand. Why make it so complicated. Ever company has its super salesmen so big deal. I am not jealous because someone makes more money than me.A man once told me if you want to do anything , Find someone who is successful at what you want to do and learn from them.

I have to say, many of the pro-Quixtar remarks on this site are just angry and disturbing. I recently received a notice, as did many others in my college dorm, that Quixtar was hiring part time employees. I am now seriously debating the ethics of attempting to get a job from a business like this. I mean, I just googled the name out of curiosity, but every link I get is saying cult this, pyramid scheme that...and most of the pro-Quixtar remarks are frightening in their intensity. I already RSVPd to the meeting, but now I'm wondering if I should change that.

NO TO QUIXTAR!

Why not just buy stuff @ walmart/target and sell them online through your own web site. No middleman. Go to Yahoo and search for "create a website" or "create a store". If your a real businessman, you'd quickly see that Quixtar is just a middle-man sucking profits from you. And if you want to pursue the MLM idea, start recruiting others to sell stuff online independently (you could create their Web sites/stores and make commission off of them).

MLM? Why not put yourself at the top to begin with?

Welcome to American capitalism. You don't need Quixtar!

It's amazing to me that so many people still slam Amway and Quixtar and their business models. Back when this business started, they were in court constantly being sued and investigated for everything. And every time it was determined that everything was legitimate. Go back and read the history. I am still an IBO with a small group but I mostly buy the core line products because they're excellent produts. And yes I get a small check for buying from myself and for my efforts of recruitng and helping the people in my group build their business who also buy products. The motto being if you help enough people get what they want, you can get what you want. What's wrong with that? And what's wrong with supporting your own business and being paid for doing so? Do the Waltons shop at Target? Do the owners of Baskin Robbins buy ice cream from Ben & Jerry's? Granted there are rules about how the business is promoted on the internet but the reason for the one on one contact is so that people form relationships. But frankly, one can still be successful by simply opening their mouths and referring others to the website and providing them with their IBO number if they want to simply buy things. I know people who have become quite successful by building a retail business this way. The personal contact allows them to forge business and personal relationships and their business is contained so as not to end up dealing with unsavory people. Yes the upline make money off the books, tapes and functions. That's no secret. But so does the character who wrote this article. And so does every other MLM or other business that's out there. If you come up with the business plan and make a little more money than the people who get in the business, so what? Quixtar, Amway, Avon, Tupperware, YTB and any other similar business will work if you are dedicated and work that company's plan. This is America where anyone with dreams and goals can be as successful as they want to be if you are willing to work hard at it. Amway paved the way for a lot of other MLM businesses like it. And what's more, if some people weren't making some money, I don't think these businesses would stay around and Amway/Quixtar has been around since the 1950s. That speaks volumes to me. When economic times are bad, our business does well because no matter what happens, people will always need the basic products that we market. Things to run your household and now we can tap in to products made by other major manufacturers. And what's more, I can order with ease from the comfort of my home and have everything from food to HiDef tvs delivered to my front door. Scam is a strong word and is often mis used when referring to most any home based business. But we forget that Dell was a home based business before it went global. There are lots of people who have home based businesses but that alone doesn't make it a scam. Just because a person isn't making a gazillion dollars doesn't make the business a scam. The success or failure of this or any business is directly dependent on the effort that's put in to it. And if it's not working for you and youare really trying, I say...NEXT!! Move on to something else. But don't label it a scam because it didn't work for you.

Lucy from California, just because you saw someone's check doesn't mean anything. I'm sure Enron had soem big checks in their name before they went under. Also, how much did your cousin and his downline spend on tools to earn that check? Of course you did not mention about you making a profit???

Jake from NY< stop making up lies or do you have proof that Walmart's water is polluted? Quixtar already told IBO's to stop making up stuff about their perfect water.

Quixtar simply is not a good business for nearly everyone who participates. The prices are high, the public interest is low. Bad combination.

I attended a Quixtar meeting last week and I just didn't buy it. There was a lady that said that she had a question but the guest speaker insisted that she met him in the hall for her question. Why is that? Maybe her question would have helped a lot of people stay away from Quixtar.

Moreover, he kept on telling us to provide Quixtar with names and numbers of all our friends so that they too can be contacted. Why would I give you my friends'numbers without even having started in the business myself? I could feel that they thought they were smarter than us. Also, not to put down anyone, but most of the people in the meeting I attended never finished college and were working dead end jobs. So, it was much easier for the guest speaker to get into their minds and tell them Quixtar is the way to financial success and freedom. I am a grad student ans have taken so many psychology/interpersonal skills classes that it was easy for me to see through the guest speaker.

The IBO that I met with prior to the Quixtar meeting brought a check to show me how succeful he was and blah blah blah.He didn't tell the that there was a fee of about $140 to pay before you join, so all of you out there be cafeful.

Also, the guest speaker told us not to tell anyone about the meeting because people (who are not successful) will discourage us and tell us all this is a scam. It was just too painful for me to sit through the whole meeting. I was in front facing the guest speaker and didn't want to seem disrespectful leaving and interrupting the meeting.

I don't want to offend any Quixtar "IBO's" but this is my opinion. And pay some respect to people by telling them the "real" truth, not the McDonald's example that you feed newcomers.

Quixtar is the most perfect way to merchandise however most IBOs gain a little success and delist their phone numbers.Many have blasted the business network building business model but All Corporations have an ongoing training program to teach their employees people skills and latest market trends and so on. The problem seems to be that most people do not know that AMWAY is a manufacturing company with network ties to thousands of top quality products. They outsource their marketing to people that are or will be trained to be professionals in the field. with ongoing training to keep updated on rapid changing trends and new product info. If a person hates the sales business then purchase your products elsewhere.You will sacrifice quality .The greater the success of a business ,the more difficult it is to find the original IBO that built the network.All a person has to do is call Quixtar and customer service will link a person to the most reagional IBO available to service you.
The media and failed distributors have passed much abusive and negative information about Quixtar because they faiiled at it or do not like the direct marketing approach to quality products.As with all business there are always abuses and there are plenty of these in years passed in the MLM business as a get rich scheme and therefore poluted the professional aspect of a great business model to merchandise and business build for the average person who needs to earn additional income.I need a water treatment system and Quixtar has the best of any on the market therefore I will buy it . Those of you pioneers and dedicated professionals I admire you in your lifes commitment to you massive contributions to the free enterprize system and the betterment of mamnkind by your generousity with your fortunes as you have built great dreams for people and given your wealth away to causes that serve the needs of our great country and the world.AG JH JF RP DS JD GD WWDB Thank you .

quixtar amway rules thank God i dont listen to all the blogs in here or id be broke just like them. If anyone has a brain they would realize when you buy a 5 dollar case of water are you getting quality yeah if you want second hand water that is full of mercury chlorine and bacteria be my guest our water is purified tell you what try both of the waters against each other and i will say its a huge difference. This business is not for people who complain whiners funny how they say scam the onlt scam in life is that you work in your pyramid job being a prisoner of work glad the bosses like you youll never get paid more then them. As for the people who do well in this business not everyone after they are successful want to lounge around sitting by a tv getting fat like most of america actually thinking that by watching tv you can smarter. People that watch tv all the time are losers wasting their time watching others succeed. I have nothing to prove because i havent reached the ruby level only a platinum and i dont make alot onlt about 2600 a month but it worked for me. Quitters always have excuses. Winners dont make excuses most losers dont see the concept and besides would you rtaher be a round a winner who thinks positive or a loser who whines and is negative unfortuneately most think like a loser which is why most fail in life. Why do you think people voted for obama the poor vote for him will destroy this country good luck and God bless id rather be a POM have a piece of mind and plenty of money then broke all the time keep listening to your broke friends see where you get its called no where and by the way it is residual sorry that some people had problems but most dont i am a reason maker not an excuse finder which most seem to be. I thank God every day for the chance to go diamond may take another 10 years but at least i wont have to work in a job sad sad sad im only 24 so by 34 live the life i want free and with the help of my girlfriend and family who are also in it how can i go wrong called the road to success not the road to failure like most. Losers dont do the things they like to do Winners dont make excuses and just do it without complaining. What a joke what a blog of a website ill go to a winners website where people dont act like losers how is your job looking by the way lol thank God i never had to work for anyone 250000 people unemployed how is the line going lol have a dream and a will see you at the finish line youll probably be far behind but ill look back to see if you will join the success train a winning business and a group of friends that no one can beat amazing i dont have to lie i havent made it yet but i know by showing 20 plans a week which is what i do and working hard at this so far the results are there the problem is most quit they have an ego and they dont follow the system which is why they quit and most know nothing about this business. Shopping at walmart lol getting low quality things in life how pathetic that is lol high quality rules pay for the best get the best love it and the best is nothing can tear me down not even a sorry bunch of negatives in this site lol hmmm lets see did they teach you in life to go to school and get a job lol hat a joke how about go out and get a business of your own and the funny thing is we dont even tell people you have to join i dont put a gun to your head you dont want it no problem NEXT because their will always be winners in life who see how they can make it in this business the rest good luck in your job are you strssed out from your job tired oh well maybe its because you work so many hours hmmm but you choose the life you live dont you. The problem with people is they read everything in these sites and then because they dont have a mind of their own are convinced its no good because some broke person told thm it wasnt ever think maybe that guy was a loser see where he is at hmm probably making 50k in a job you call that success lol oh its so sad sad sad sad wealthy people make their money through duplication and you can have it all hard to believe the the brain of someone negative because all that goes through their mind is CAN'T WON'T those are losers words I will is a winners word anyway good luck see if you still have a job monday after obama gets through with you and all the ones that voted him into office i feel sorry for the world. Obama=terrorism, hmm association with the rev wright thats why so many people voted for him change lol

QUIXTAR IS NOT A SCAM!!!

People keep saying it doesnt work well let me tell you it does. And for the person that wants to know if Quixtar pays IBO's let me tell you i saw my brother's paycheck and it was real! My cousin is 27 and does not have a job, he has his own online business through Quixtar. By this you can tell that i does work because he has his own house, and everything he needs. My platinum upline got his bonus check cashed by brother who works as a teller, and they even recorded the thing.

People should try it before they start saying things about this amazing business. Its a great opportunity. And if you arent willing to put work into it, then you have no right at all to say its a scam!!!

Quixtar is a SCAM....I have a friend that is in the company and she asked me to buy somthing to help her out with her points one month, I helped her out but quixtar charged my account an extra 175.98 dollars, my friend said that she would call them and ask what happened and they said that they did not charge my account. They were Lying....the bank showed that Quixtar Inc. took the money out. They are liers!!!

If I had a dime everytime an IBO faked their success, I would be wealthy! Yes, you might be able to make a few bucks from quixtar but the prices are very high. It's hard to compete. Quixtar has a $48 case of water for God's sake. Tell mw how you market that against a $5 case from Walmart?

So many folks tell the myth of residual income. Can you name a few people who don't work anyomre and get paid by quixtar? Even the mega triple ripple crown ambassadors are still working the functions. Why is that? Maybe some of them have to? Why did more than one WWDB diamonds allow their homes to go into foreclosure? I thought diamonds bought everything in cash?

Quixtar success is a facade for most, including those to post here. :P

Lots of people will try to tell you this is a scam, but like most things in life, it's what you make it. Different teams that are linked with Quixtar have different theories and beliefs about the best way to succeed is, and one's experience could vary greatly between different groups. I recommend the Group called LTD myself. A VERY solid team that me and my friends have had a lot of success with. Quixtar itself is a very legitimate way of literally making as much money as you desire, with a decent amount of work involved. It's not for people who think they can get something for nothing. Just like companies who look for the right sort of people THEY want working for them, this opportunity is not for everyone. Although anyone CAN do this, because it's not limited to people of a certain education or background, it takes work, which is usually a staple of already ambitious people. It IS ongoing income, however, and does NOT require you to continually work to earn the income once it is established, such as in an hourly/salaried job. It's called passive income versus active based income. I believe it's brilliant, but people are not used to it. I believe the billions in sales and pay out to those IBO's involved should speak for itself. Most wealth in America is not created by working a normal nine to five job. If you want MORE than what your job can offer you, do this seriously for a while and you will have results. I am VERY thankful I am a part of this opportunity.
