Bonus Payment FAQs

How often are Bonus Payments made?
Some retail margin, order refunds, and sales tax refunds will be paid on a weekly basis. If your payment option is direct deposit or the Amway™ Wirecard Prepaid Card, as long as the payment amount is greater than $1, the payment is processed weekly. Refunds will be paid via your selected bonus payment option if they cannot be credited to the original order payment method.

If your bonus payment method is check, you will receive these incentive payments and refunds combined with your monthly bonus payment.

When will payments be made?
Weekly payments will be made based on activity from Wednesday of the current week until Tuesday of the following week and funds will be available for use on Friday of that following week. Additionally, any retail margin or Sales Tax refunds generated after the last Wednesday of the current month will be paid in the first week of the subsequent month.

Monthly performance bonus payments are generated on the 15th of the month. Discretionary Growth and Incentive/Amway™ Fast Track payments are generated on the 20th of the month. If the payment generation date is a weekend or holiday, the electronic transaction will still occur. Contact the respective financial institution for fund availability information. If your selected bonus payment method is check, allow up to 10 postal business days to receive once payment has been generated.

How can I see the Details Regarding my Payments?
You can log in to Amway.com > Business Center > Business Reports > Payment Advice. The Payment Advice report provides a detailed summary of each payment.

Are there Minimum Payment Amounts?
For electronic payments (Direct Deposit or Wirecard Prepaid Card) the minimum payment amount is $1.00. For paper check payments, the minimum amount is $25.00. If a payment was earned that does not meet the minimum payment amount, the funds will be held until the minimum amount for the selected bonus payment method is reached.

IBO Renewal and Auto-Renewal FAQs
1. When can I renew?
You can renew your IBO Contract from September 1–December 31 each year.

2. How can I renew?
There are two convenient ways to renew.

1) Logging in to Amway.com and going to Account Menu > My Account > Auto-Renewal/Renewal.

2) Automatically by enrolling in Auto-Renewal.*

*Auto-Renewal sign-up after September 1 will take effect for the following fiscal year.

3. How long is the renewal good for?
Renewal keeps your business active until December 31 of the following year. For example, those who renew September–December 2019 will be active until December 31, 2020.

4. What happens if I don’t renew by December 31?
Starting January 1, your business will become inactive. While inactive, you will not be able to sponsor new IBOs, register new customers, place orders or receive volume until you renew. You will have until August 31 to renew and restore your IBO privileges. There is no additional fee for late renewals.

5. What happens to downline IBOs if I don't renew by December 31?
Downline IBOs and customers will be reassigned to your upline. If you renew by August 31 of the year your business becomes inactive, downline IBOs may be reassigned to you. Please note that if your customers have any activity during the time you were inactive, they will stay with your upline even after your late renewal. This is one important reason to renew your business on time. Please refer to Rules 3.7 and 3.8 for more information.

6. What do I get by renewing?
By renewing your IBO Contract, you can continue with the Amway business as an IBO, giving you access to a world-class opportunity, top-notch products, and the training and support to help you reach your goals.
