It is not $29 to become a marketing executive. It is $19 for everyone, whether they just want to shop, or want to be a marketing executive. Seems your fact checking isn’t as through as you think.

Yes, I have shopped there for 3 years, and none of the information from “concerned customer” is accurate. Average minimum required order is about $80-ish per month, and most of their products are things you already buy from somewhere else, (necessities) but made with better and healthier ingredients. (Laundry soap, cleaners, personal care items, vitamins, etc.)
I’m always amazed to see how people are so willing to try to trash the store online, when they do not even understand how it works. At all.

I have ben a Melaleuca customer for 15 months. Just about everything you stated is easily proven to be incorrect..
Mandatory points per month to maintain preferred status are 35. Typically 1 point is $2.00 worth of product.
Annual membership is $19. Sometimes there are $1.00 annual fee specials.
Backup orders aren’t forced because any and every customer can leave at any time. Backup orders ship at the beginning of a previous month when a customer forgot or failed to place the minimum order. This protects preferred member status.
No points or commissions are earned for enrolling new customers. Commissions and bonuses are earned based on volume when preferred customers shop.

If reading for full context, the $29 is for signing on as a Marketing Executive. That is a different level than member customer. To have an A+ rating for BBB, you only have to “resolve complaints” and if you look into the word salad, “resolve”, according to the BBB simply means “respond”. Why yes, they hire people simply to respond to all complaints, so their track record will show “resolved” and fulfill that main parameter for an A+ grade. Companies use BBB as a pay to play- its not a mediator of integrity these days. Debt free?? Yes, if you made 3.2 billion, your overhead was much higher than your company payout (funds to run it and pay distributors)…of course you would be debt free. With everyone involved needing to meet an order quota every single month, cutting corners in your products with PEGs, Titanium dioxide, ethyl (not sugar dirived- and yes you can find that out), synthetic polymers, etc (while claiming to be healthier- which is a lie known as Greenwashing)…sure, that’s a good way to be “debt free”. If you didn’t know, when a company is making *profit, that is an other way of saying debt free. Word salad…they are really good at that. Those of us who are discerning, dig a little and understand marketing and chemistry, we can see why not many people have heard of this pyramid company even though they’ve been lurking since the 80s. It’s a quiet little profit circle that sells crap with a smile and virtue signaling. Hope the guy doesn’t break his arm patting himself on the back 😉
