Ribbon Giveaway Cancelled

Hello all,

I wanted to explain what happened to the post and giveaway I did earlier about Ribbon Gift Cards. I honestly thought the product idea sounded cool and I linked to my friend’s page where one can purchase these gift cards, on a site called Amway.

A reader pointed out to me in the comments that Amway has been involved in class action lawsuits, FTC investigations, and more since as early as the 1970s. I looked more into it and while nothing has ever been proven and lawsuits have only been settled, I do not feel comfortable promoting a website like this on my blog. I certainly do not stand for any of the shady business practices Amway has been accused of, even if they are unproven at this time.

I apologize to you all for doing a post in support of a company that I had not done deeper investigation into. I foolishly thought that since I had not heard anything negative, there wasn’t anything out there. I’ve certainly learned a lesson.

To anyone who entered my giveaway, I have another one coming up for you next week from a company that I know for a fact is reputable – a delicious giveaway that I am fully in support of! I apologize for cancelling like this.

Feel free to contact me or comment here if you have any questions! And to those who may have purchased a Ribbon gift card – these gift cards have NOT been found to not work and Amway has not been stealing money from credit cards or anything like that. This isn’t about the safety of this transaction, more so about not supporting the practices of the company.

If you didn’t see my earlier giveaway post, you can disregard this if you wish 🙂

Thanks guys,

Caitlin
