Typically requires leadership rank

Based on $10/customer (3% + 7% CSI) on $100 orders. After 3 years, drops to $3/customer without rank advancement.

📋 How It Works

Amway pays 3% Performance Bonus on direct customer orders plus 7% Customer Sales Incentive in your first 3 years (total ~$10 per $100 order). After CSI expires, meaningful income requires reaching higher ranks for the 25% performance bonus level.

Downline commissions

Requires Group PV; varies by rank

📅 Monthly Requirements

100 PV (~$300-400 in product)

New reps earn ~$10 per $100 customer order (3% Performance + 7% CSI). After 3 years, CSI ends and you earn only 3% unless you reach higher ranks (up to 25%).

⚠️ Key Gotchas

• Customer Sales Incentive (7%) phases out after your first 3 years
• Must maintain 100 PV monthly or you earn $0 that month
• When downline members "break away" to higher ranks, you lose volume
• Stairstep breakaway structure means downline can "break away" when they advance
• Complex PV/BV system makes true earnings difficult to calculate
