Amway/Quixtar renegs again on Paying Bonuses

Here is a letter to Quixtar from a current IBO I found on the Internet.  Amway and Quixtar distributors have long prided the business on the rumor that when you do the work, that you will get paid for it.     Well here is yet another example of where you do the work and you may or may not get paid for it.  If you want to argue about it, start digging into your bank account cause Amquix will force you to take a financial blood bath paying attorneys and mediators to get your bonuses.   I've spoken with other IBOs and they said Quixtar is withholding points from their downline IBOs who are supposedly in "litigation" with Quixtar.  This is only another example of how IBOs are not independent at all.   Amway/Quixtar can fire you or not pay you at will anytime it chooses.

Re: QBI Bonus and Founders Platinum Bonus

To whom it may concern,

We are writing you today to inquire about our Founders Platinum and QBI bonuses. To date, we have not received either of these bonuses. We have called your company several times to inquire about these bonuses. Each time we have encountered a similar response, “all bonuses affiliated with Team IBO’s are under review”. I didn’t realize the IBO’s affiliated with Team had different qualifications of those not affiliated with Team.

In May of ’07 my husband and I attended your Platinum Conference. We had a wonderful time, and your company laid out the red carpet for us. Your staff and the service went above and beyond to make our stay informative and enjoyable. We were informed there, by one of your staff members, that we were right on track for our QBI and Founders Platinum bonuses. According to our QBI tracking report for August of ’07, we are eligible for that bonus. To the best of my knowledge, 12 qualified months in 1 fiscal year also qualifies us for a Founders Platinum bonus.

We were independent business owners with your company for almost three years. As far as we know, we were business owners in good standing. Therefore, we fail to understand why you are holding our bonuses. As you know, the end of the year is rapidly approaching and we would greatly appreciate a response to this correspondence, in writing, which explains what exactly is being reviewed about our qualifications for these bonuses.

We appreciate your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Dominic & Terry Zettel

QBI money and trips are offered and paid at Quixtar's sole discretion.   If you would like to appeal Quixtar's decision not to pay, you may seek conciliation through Quixtar's dispute resolution process.
