Amway settles class action, and apologises

November 5th, 2010 | Posted in Amway News

I’m still wrapped in various time consuming issues in my personal life so been unable to write much here, but some things just have to be commented on. In the last couple of days has come the quite stunning decision by Amway to reach a settlement in the Pokorny & Blenn vs Quixtar et.al Class [...]

Bye, bye Amway Global ….

August 6th, 2010 | Posted in Amway News, Amway North America

…. Hello Amway! It’s been more than 3 years since I revealed (or at least hinted!) that Amway was going to be retiring the Quixtar name and more than 2 years since the transition to Amway Global became public. It seemed clear to me at the time that the “Global” suffix had been added to [...]

Amway IBOs get all their products free plus extra cash!

September 4th, 2009 | Posted in Commentary

Amway critics just love to quote various government mandated statistics that Amway publishes.

All in Energy vs XS Energy

August 3rd, 2008 | Posted in Commentary, XS Energy

There’s been a bit of discussion recently on various Amway-related websites about an energy drink called All in Energy, apparently marketed primarily through poker tourneys. All in Energy, much like XS Energy (marketed by Amway and Quixtar) comes in multiple flavours, is sugar free, and has large doses of B-vitamins and various energy-boosting herbs. The [...]

The Internet War Against Amway Part II

July 16th, 2008 | Posted in Commentary

Read part I first – The Internet War Against Amway The Internet War Against Amway is not a traditional war with General’s directing units to attack our weaknesses (at least I don’t think so!). The war is more like the kind of “war” some religious or political fundamentalists wage. There is a relatively small number [...]
