No. Amway is the world’s largest direct selling company. Since 1959, we have made premium health, beauty and home products that are sold exclusively through Independent Business Owners (IBOs), who operate their own legitimate businesses.

Let’s set the record straight with 10 fast facts about our business:

1. Amway is a business that takes effort and time to get going. It’s not a “get rich quick scheme”.
2. The Amway™ business is accessible to everyone but not right for everyone.
3. IBOs only make money when they sell Amway™ products, not by sponsoring people who then sponsor more people and sell nothing. THAT is a scam.
4. Since 1959, Amway has paid out more bonuses and cash incentives to its distributors worldwide than any other direct selling company in history.*
5. Amway is the #1 direct selling company in the world, with 2023 global sales of $7.7 billion.
6. If you start an Amway™ business, how much money you make depends on your effort.
7. If our IBOs don’t succeed, Amway doesn’t succeed. We support them with free training through Amway Education, a robust online curriculum of more than 80 virtual courses and activities.
8. We operate in more than 100 countries and territories worldwide. Our IBOs have no restrictions on where they can sell products, so long as Amway operates in that country or market.
9. Our IBOs have no quotas or purchase requirements, but make no mistake: They only make money when they sell Amway™ products.
10. Every product our IBOs sell is backed by the Amway Promise™ 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. If you don’t like it, we will happily refund your money.

Amway is one of the oldest multi-level marketing — also known as direct selling — companies in an industry that spans the globe. Direct selling is a business plan recognized and protected under law. In a 1979 landmark ruling, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) found in Amway’s favor, setting the standard for legitimate multi-level marketing businesses.
