Why change?The introduction of Global Award Recognition will award Direct Sellers based on their global performance across multiple businesses. The TTCA program was designed to enhance how new qualification and subsequent requalification are rewarded, increasing the incentive to adapt business strategies that lead to the development of sustainable businesses.

What does TTCA offer?

Transitioning to TTCA: What to expect

INCREASED QUALIFYING PAYMENT AMOUNTS• Direct Sellers can earn global cash commissions for new qualified award levels above the highest historical award of their top performing multiple businesses• Under TTCA, Direct Sellers can earn multiple cash commissions for multiple new awards in one year• Because businesses are limited to one cash award per qualified level globally, payments will be increased compared to current OTCA amounts

REQUALIFICATION DESIGNED TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE BUSINESSES• The new requalification incentives for TTCA have been designed to reinforce our strategic focus on building sustainable businesses• Requalification incentives will be open to first-time Global Award Recognition qualifiers beginning in Performance Year 2020 (PY20). Rationale:BecausePY19isthefirstyearonecanqualifyunderGlobalAwardRecognition,theseincentivescanonlybeofferedbeginninginPY20• Direct Sellers who achieve multiple new awards in one year using Global Award Recognition criteria are eligible for all two-time cash award payments that result from first-time higher pin qualification and all subsequent requalification incentives in the year immediately following the achievement

Two-Time Cash AwardsAs we move towards Global Award Recognition, we are shifting from a one-time cash award (OTCA) program to a two-time cash award (TTCA) program with increased payment amounts and new incentives for requalification.

THENEWCOREPLANTTCA

BACKGROUND& C O N T E X T

TRANSITION IN PY19…• In PY19, cash commissions will be paid for all new awards achieved, regardless of how they were how they were achieved (Core Plan/FAA/GAR) : • Old Core Plan OTCA payments will apply to new awards achieved via old qualification methods (e.g., Teams or Old FAA points) • New Core Plan TTCA payments will apply to new awards achieved via Global Award Recognition qualification methods and will be eligible for requalification incentives in PY20

…AND A NEW APPROACH IN PY20:• In PY20 and beyond, all new awards must be achieved via Global Award Recognition qualification methods – so New Core Plan TTCA policies will apply Note:InPY20andPY21only,DirectSellerswhoqualifiedunderGlobalAwardRecognitionatCrownorabovewillbeabletoreceiveOldCorePlanOTCA paymentsin#2marketsatlevelsbelowtheirglobalaward,providedtheymeetcriteriafornewhigherawardlevelsinthosemarketsinthatyear.

How TTCA WorksINCREASED MULTIPLIER AND REQUALIFICATION INCENTIVEIncreased performance incentive multiplier means higher payments than Old Core Plan OTCAs Additional award is equal to 1/3 of the Year 1 cash payment available when requalifying in the year following first-time qualification

PRORATED PAYMENT TTCAs will be prorated according to qualification credits needed for the award; credits from highest paying markets will count first

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are we changing qualification criteria? Throughout Amway history, beginning with Rich and Jay, the Sales Plan has evolved along with the

marketplace, to provide a relevant and profitable entrepreneurial opportunity. Global Award Recognition is

the next step in that evolution. With the launch of New FAA in Performance Year 2018, it was announced

that there would be a single path to qualification in the future. Global Award Recognition, aligned with Amway

Next, challenges all of us to ensure business are built upon a solid foundation of healthy, profitable, and

sustainable leaders backed by strong sales to loyal buyers and consumers. Leaders will be recognized for

building businesses with healthy and profitable structures and for developing and mentoring sustainable

leaders. It is a simplified, single route to qualification that promotes a continuous journey to sustained

achievement.

Why does Global Award Recognition start at Executive Diamond? Executive Diamond represents the stage of Amway business development where leaders shift emphasis

from building Platinum teams to duplicating/developing higher level leadership in depth. Previously, the two

paths to qualification had created disparity of effort and income within award levels at Executive Diamond

and above. The single path to qualification at Executive Diamond and above will encourage qualifiers having

profitable, sustainable businesses well positioned for future growth and higher achievement.

Are there any changes I can make to my business to maximize Global Award Recognition? The fundamentals of the Sales Plan have not changed and by focusing on these, you are positioned for

success. Founders Platinum teams are key to success as they create both a profitable and sustainable

foundation for your business. Strong, healthy in-market teams are valuable and recommended before

venturing into international markets. More than ever, helping others become successful will help you become

successful*. (*Success is dependent on the efforts resulting in individual and Direct Sellers sales and

Preferred Customer purchases and training & mentoring and applicable compliances).

BACKGROUND & CONTEXT

Frequently Asked Questions

Will there be any impact on annual commissions (i.e. Diamond, Diamond Plus)? No. Annual commissions or any other core plan commission calculations are not impacted and will continue to be calculated according to the Sales Plan. Is Global Award Recognition connected to the New FAA program? Global Award Recognition and New FAA are similar, but the two are not identical in their design. Both programs focus on leadership development (either through reward or recognition) and Founders Platinum teams, but depth plays a different role for qualification than for the New FAA Commission. While FAA is one commission in a portfolio of commissions that reward various business building behaviors, there is only one route to qualification in Global Award Recognition, requiring a balance of width and depth. Width is valued in Global Award Recognition in the exact same way as in the New FAA Commission; depth is valued differently. What does ‘Global Pin’ mean and what does this mean for how I am treated at different Amway events around the globe? Global Pin means exactly what it says: you will be recognized at your highest level of achievement based on your total leadership development efforts around the globe in all markets where you have a multiple business. In short, once you’re qualified at Executive Diamond or above, your qualification title travels with you.

What does it mean that an award is earned globally? Business achievements of your multiple businesses (#1/#2) and ISDs around the world will be combined to create a single global award qualification. This will give you more freedom to choose where to work and more confidence that where you are building your business will lead to global recognition. (*It depends on the Laws/Rules of the respective country where they intend to build the Business.)

GLOBAL AWARDS

*

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Global Award tiers? Global Award Recognition has three tiers. Within each tier, there are award levels, each with different

Founders Platinum team and Qualification Credit requirements. The total number of credits in a team that

can contribute to a qualification is based on the tier of the award. As your business grows, it can use

progressively more depth to achieve higher awards. This is an acknowledgement of the increased influence

of a business at these high pin levels.

Can I achieve a higher award without achieving all the other awards below it? No. The design of Global Award Recognition is that there is one clear and sequential path to qualification.

You cannot “skip” over awards without achieving all lower awards as well.

Can I achieve more than one new level during a Performance Year? Yes. It is possible that by adding Founder Platinum Teams or Qualification Credits you will achieve more

than one new award level in a Performance Year. In this case, all new award levels will be recognized.

What are the criteria for Founders Council? Beginning Performance Year 2020, Founders Council invitations will be given to Direct Sellers that qualify

for Crown and above using Global Award Recognition. This invitation is at Amway’s discretion.

Why is Founders Diamond so important? Under Global Award Recognition, you are required to have at least one Founders Diamond business globally

to earn higher awards. Founders Diamond represents a solid, profitable foundation upon which to grow to

Executive Diamond and beyond. Founders Diamonds are more profitable and have higher requalification

rates. A Founders Diamond is an Emerald Higher Achievement Commission Recipient (including European

EHAC) with 6 or more personal, foster, or internationally sponsored teams that qualify at the 21% level for

12 months (Q12 teams) in a Performance Year. You must build 6 12-month qualified teams (including VE)

to achieve Founders Diamond and eligibility for Global Award Recognition.

FOUNDERS DIAMOND

Frequently Asked Questions

What is changing with Founders Diamond qualification? There will no longer be an FAA equivalency rule for Founders Diamond qualification beyond the transition

period. The FAA qualification equivalency rule at 8 FAA and above will not exist under Global Award

Recognition. There will be a new emphasis on the importance of Founders Diamond qualification based on

6 12-month qualified teams.

How are Q12 teams counted in Global Award Recognition? Founders Diamond and below, will continue to be achieved based on the number of qualified teams that

you have, including international teams. Global Award Recognition, at Executive Diamond and above, will

be achieved using Founders Platinum teams.

What are Founders Platinum teams? Founders Platinum (FP) teams are the measurement of width in Global Award Recognition. FP teams are

in-Market teams (personally or foster sponsored) that contain a FP and are downline of a #1 or #2 multiple

business in another Amway market. International teams do not count as FP teams. A FP team must have a

FP in it; two 6-month Platinums within a team will not count as a FP team, even though the team may be a

Q12 team and have 12 qualified months.

What is the difference between Founders Platinum teams and Q12 teams? A Founders Platinum team requires 12 qualified months from one Direct Seller, meaning there must a

Founders Platinum in the team. A Founders Platinum team also must be an in-market team that is downline

of a #1 or #2 multiple business. A Q12 team can have different Direct Sellers qualifying each month within

the team (for example, two Direct Sellers qualified for 6 months each). Q12 teams can also be internationally

sponsored Direct Sellers while Founders Platinum teams must be personally or foster sponsored.

Is Volume Equivalency still counted for Founders Platinum qualification? Yes. Founders Platinum qualifications can still be earned using Volume Equivalency and these Founders

Platinums count for Founders Platinum teams and can generate Qualification Credits.

FOUNDERS PLATINUM TEAMS

Frequently Asked Questions

Does an EHAC recipient count as a Founders Platinum in a team? To count as a Founders Platinum in a team and generate Qualification Credits, EHAC recipients and DHAC

recipients must also be Founders Platinums. The majority of EHAC recipients are Founders Platinum, but if

an EHAC recipient is not also a Founders Platinum it will not generate Qualification Credits and if there are

no other Founders Platinums in the team, the EHAC recipient team will not count as a Founders Platinum

team.

Does my #2 business count as a Founders Platinum team? No. #2 businesses are internationally sponsored and cannot count as Founders Platinum teams. However,

the business you created downline of a #2 business will count with any Founders Platinum teams downline

of a #2 business, contributing to your global total.

Does a multiple business need to meet any local criteria to contribute Founders Platinum teams? There is no minimum level for a multiple business to contribute Founders Platinum teams.

Do my Founders Platinum teams determine how many Qualification Credits per team can be used for all awards I achieve? No, the maximum number of credits per team you can use is specific to each award. You can use up to 6

credits per team for Executive Diamond and Founders Executive Diamond, up to 9 credits per team for

Double Diamond through Founders Triple Diamond, and up to 12 credits per team for Crown and above

awards.

Does a multiple business need to meet any local criteria to contribute Qualification Credits? A multiple business must locally be a Founders Platinum to contribute 1 credit for each Founders Platinum

team downline of that business. To contribute more than one credit per team, up to a maximum of 12 credits

depending on the Global Award tier, a multiple business must locally be an EHAC recipient (must also be

Founders Platinum).

QUALIFICATION CREDITS

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my #2 businesses generate Qualification Credits? A #1/#2 multiple business no longer generates any qualification credits itself, but instead, the entire business

it developed contributes Qualification Credits based on the leaders downline in that business rather than

just the qualification of the #2 business itself.

Why is depth limited to 6 or 9 or 12 Qualification Credits when the New FAA allows 30 FAA points of depth? Depth is capped at less than 30 credits to preserve the foundational principle of unlimited potential within

the Amway business. Depth is treated differently in commissions than it is in qualification. For qualification,

the preservation of the important value of unlimited potential for anyone in the LOS had to be ensured. The

benefit for depth in the new qualification criteria is far more beneficial compared to old rules under old FAA,

and the progressive depth benefit (growing from 6 Qualification Credits to 12) reflects the increasing sphere

of influence and scope of businesses that achieve the highest levels of Amway merits.

What is a Founders DHAC recipient? A Founders DHAC recipient is a Founders Diamond with 6 personally or foster sponsored Founders

Platinum teams and will contribute 6 Qualification Credits upline instead of the 3 credits awarded for DHAC

recipients. These Founders DHAC recipients exhibit a profitable and sustainable business and the additional

Qualification Credits are in place to encourage this robust structure. A Founders DHAC recipient also is

well positioned for current or future participation in Global Award Recognition as their business structure

would meet the Founders Diamond requirement.

Why is an in-market Founders Diamond worth 6 credits but only 3 FAA points? Depth is treated differently in FAA than it is for qualification. The purpose behind the 6 credit in-market

Founders DHAC recipient qualification credit value was to reinforce this important structure on the journey

to Executive Diamond and above. With new FAA, an Direct Seller could generate 9 FAA points for building

an in-market Founders Diamond (one 3 point DHAC recipient + six 1 point Founders Platinums). To promote

this same structure with qualification, a Founders DHAC recipient can also contribute 9 credits upline (one

6 credit Founders DHAC recipient and three 1 credit Founders Platinums). This unique benefit of the new

program will create alignment between the downline Diamond’s goal (who must grow to Founders Diamond

to participate in Global Award Recognition) and the upline’s goal to maximize FAA and Qualification Credits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Founders DHAC recipient different than DHAC recipient for 12 months? Founders DHAC recipient requires more than just 6 Q12 teams. It promotes sustainability with 6 teams with

leaders in them…Founders Platinum teams.

Is there no longer any benefit from Q6 teams? Q6 teams do not have an explicit role in qualification at Executive Diamond and above, but they still play an

important role in qualification at lower levels and towards the development of EHAC recipient and DHAC

recipient leaders that will be a part of higher award qualification at Executive Diamond and above.

Will there be a transition period? Yes. For PY’19, you can grow or maintain your qualification using the better of the three programs (FAA

points, qualified teams, or Global Award Recognition). During PY20 and PY21, Diamond Direct Sellers and

below will transition to the new qualification program. Founders Diamond Direct Sellers and above can

maintain their qualification using the better of the three programs during PY20 and PY21. Growth can only

occur through the new program. Beginning in PY22, qualification will be determined by Global Award

Recognition standards only.

During PY20 and PY21, is the highest award that can be earned using Teams and/or FAA points based on my highest qualified award level ever or my PY19 award level? Your PY19 award level achieved using teams and/or FAA points will be used as a baseline for PY20 and

PY21 achievement using teams and/or FAA points. Resources such as MyBiz will be there to help you

identify and track opportunities to build a profitable business built for long-term success.

Can a Founders Diamond qualify with 8 FAA points during the transition? In PY19, you may qualify for Founders Diamond as a DHAC recipient with 8 Original FAA points and in

PY20 and PY21 can requalify for Founders Diamond using this criteria. However, this will not meet the

eligibility requirements for Global Award Recognition.

Will my highest historical pin earned using Teams/FAA still be acknowledged?

Yes. Pins earned in the past will continue to be acknowledged if they were the highest level of achievement.

TRANSITION

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I find out the impact of Global Award Recognition on my current situation and how can I track my progress? Consult with your local LGS staff to learn more about how Global Award Recognition will impact you and

how you can improve your understanding of how to advance to higher qualified awards. Tracking in MyBiz

will also be available to EHAC recipients and above beginning October 2018 to help you set goals and track

your progress.

Will there still be One Time Cash Awards (OTCA) for the first time I achieve Double Diamond and above? OTCAs are being enhanced into a Two-Time Cash Award (TTCA) program offering increased payment

amounts for first time achievement of new award levels. Additionally, new requalification incentives will be

offered to reinforce the broader Direct Seller Incentive strategy, which is focused on rewarding sustainable

businesses. TTCAs can be earned by an Direct Seller who achieves new award level using Global Award

Recognition. Payments for these awards will be pro-rated by country where Qualification Credits are earned.

How will TTCA amounts be determined? TTCAs are determined as a multiplier of the Profitability Index and can vary by country. When a global award

is earned using Qualification Credits from more than one market, the payment will be prorated according to

where the credits were earned, with credits from the highest paying markets being counted first.

When do I have to requalify to earn the Year Two requalification incentive?

To earn a requalification incentive, which is approximately 1/3 of the first year amount, you must requalify

for the award in the year immediately following the initial qualification.

Disclaimer:

Final payout and any benefits earned under this program is subject to the validation of the Amway Direct Seller’s Business by the Amway Rules of

Conduct Team. Violation of Amway Rules of Conduct and Code of Ethics can lead to denial of rewards/awards under this program.
