Quixtar and Amway are both business brands in the Alticor family of companies. Quixtar was introduced in 1999 (just in U.S. and Canada) to add some e-commerce features that Amway did not have; within 3 years more than 90 percent of our Amway representatives switched to Quixtar.
Quixtar's business opportunity, enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of individuals across North America, features high quality products (with Health and Beauty focus), attactive compensation plan, a community of others who also are building their businesses, and the support of an industry leading company with 50 years of experience.
Last year, Quixtar reported revenues of $1.12 billion, plus another $84.6 million in sales generated by our Partner Stores (our affiliate program). For their efforts, our Independent Business Owners (IBOs) earned $370.1 million in bonuses and other incentives, on top of their retail markup.
Most people in our business work part-time to achieve a part-time income that supplements their full-time employment. Many of these people have larger goals, but understand that it takes a lot of work over time to achieve those goals.
The biggest criticisms about our business have been related to the tools sold by "systems" that have developed to "do" our business. This is where successful IBOs teach new and developing IBOs how to do the business and keep them motivated. The criticisms relate to the pressure to buy these tools, the money earned from selling these tools (which do not come from the company) and the actual value of the tools' content.
We make it very clear to all new IBOs when they register with Quixtar that these tools are optional and that we require IBOs who sell tools to provide money-back guarantees, just as we do with all of our own products.
There is no excuse for anyone to "lose" money in our business when we have provided the means for them to recoup their expenses.
For disclosure's sake, I am Manager of Quixtar's PR group.

Amway is a 50 yr old $7 billion global direct sales company. They manufacture many of their own brands, starting with one of the world's first ecological cleaning products back in 1959. Today their two major lines are Nutrilite, the world's #1 best selling nutritional brand, and Artistry skincare and cosmetics, ranked #3 in the world in "prestige cosmetics". 9 years ago in North America Amway spun off an internet-based company called Quixtar. After a few years most folk involved with the Amway business had elected to transfer to the new internet-based business and Amway north america was closed. In the rest of the world Amway continued to operate and has become much like Quixtar. Last year Quixtar decided to rebrand back to the Amway name in North America for the one name globally. You make money in Amway through marketing their products and earning retail and wholesale markup commissions. Problems with Amway tend to arise not with the company or business model itself, but in the way some folk market it. When you join Amway most folk tend to do so with one of a number of established groups and affiliated organisations. These each have their own cultures and ways of doing things. Some groups for example are well known for mixing religious and political evangelism with their Amway businesses. If that's not something you appreciate (I don't) then you'll struggle in that environment. So one of the keys to a successful Amway business is joining with a group of people you feel comfortable with and can relate to. Treat it like a business, track your incomes and expenses and make your own decisions and it can be an extremely profitable one. Like any businesses though, it takes a deal of time and effort, and some money invested, to get it off the ground and profitable.

I was Amway awhile ago, a total brainwash company, and hard to make money. but now I'm in another MLM that is working very well for me. I made more money already than I ever did in Amway. The compensation plan is right on target and FAIR! I am much happier. MLM is the way to go, just find one that works for you.

I was in Amway about 20 years ago. I have several commercial accounts ... selling them cleaning supplies. I would also place catalogs in strategic locations where people could order things using my distributor number. I made a little money (about $2000 per month). But, my upline kept pressuring me to try to recruit people and to buy training takes/books, and insisted that I attend all the hype meetings (that you must pay to attend). I finally got fed up and sold my distributorship. I would never consider joining again.

No, and trust me, DO NOT get into it. No matter what you're told. They will totally use you - you have to pay numerous monthly fees, etc. I have had 2 cousins and a great friend in it, and all eventually quit b/c it was such a ripoff.

Tried the Quixtar thing, didn't work out.
But I have found something better and more awsome than that, which definately benefits my family better.
