Welcome to my Activz Review!
Now, before I dive head first into this company, it is important to note that there is a non-MLM company out there with the name “Activz Complete” that also markets nutritional supplements.
As far as I know, there is no link between the business we are discussing today and that one.
Alrighty, now that that’s out of the way, let’s get started!
The health and wellness side of MLM has always led to some raised eyebrows by the people involved…
After all it can be pretty hard to accomplish successfully.
So today, I will break down this company’s history, products, compensation plan, and cost to join, before ending it all off with my verdict.
I want to ensure you make the best decision possible for YOU!
Let’s jump right in then!
Activz Review – The Company
Activz does seem to have a website… however, a photo of the “management” does not seem to be as descriptive as one would hope…
I had to look deeply to find out that the CEO and Chairman of Activz is a man named David Brown, who has MLM experience dating back to 1996.
Quite an expert! Take a look at his resume:
- President, Natural Balance (1996 – 2000)
- President/CEO, Metabolife International (2000 – 2003)
- President/CEO, LifeVantage (2008 – 2013)
- CEO, Yevo (2014 – 2016)
Brown’s last company, Yevo, launched with the aim of marketing dehydrated meals… unfortunately it didn’t last too long.
Activz Reviews – The Products
Activz focuses on marketing nutritional supplements and personal care products, such as:
- Linq – Marketed as “cellular jet fuel” that benefits metabolism, brain function, gut function, immune system and skin
- Emora – The Emora range includes a purifying mud, essence toner and rejuvenating serum
The retail pricing for these products is not available on the Activz website.
Overall it didn’t hit our top network marketing companies list.
The Activz Compensation Plan
Activz’s compensation plan pays residual unilevel commissions based on generated sales volume (or GV).
Additional performance-based bonuses are also available.

The PV stands for “Personal Volume” and includes sales volume generated by retail sales AND an affiliate’s personal orders.
GV stands for “Group Volume” and is PV generated by an affiliate’s entire downline.
Additional Compensation Positions
Activz rewards affiliates at the A6, A8 and A10 ranks up to four additional compensation positions.
Additionally, the Activz compensation plan states that “PV applies towards Business Centers”, which just means that in order for additional positions, the PV rank qualification only has to be met once.
Unfortunately, Activz does not specify the placement of the additional compensation positions.
My assumption is that each additional position is placed within the unilevel team if anything, but I’ll keep an eye out for more info.
Fast Start Bonus
The Fast Start Bonus is simply an additional percentage bonus on sales volume generated within a new downline affiliate’s first month.
Activz pays the Fast Start Bonus through a unilevel compensation structure that is capped at five levels as seen below:
- Level 1 (personally sponsored affiliates) – 20%
- Level 2 – 4%
- Level 3 – 8%
- Level 4 – 6%
- Level 5 – 4%
Residual Commissions
Activz pays residual commissions through the same unilevel team structure used to pay the Fast Start Bonus.
- A-ranked affiliates earn 10% on level 1 (personally sponsored affiliates)
- A1 ranked affiliates earn 10% on level 1 and 4% on level 2
- A3 and A4 ranked affiliates earn 10% on level 1, 4% on level 2 and 8% on level 3
- A5 and A6 ranked affiliates earn 10% on level 1, 4% on level 2, 8% on level 3 and 6% on level 4
- A7 and A8 ranked affiliates earn 10% on level 1, 4% on level 2, 8% on level 3, 6% on level 4 and 4% on level 5
- A9 ranked affiliates earn 10% on level 1, 4% on level 2, 8% on level 3, 6% on level 4 and 4% on levels 5 and 6
- A10 ranked affiliates earn 10% on level 1, 4% on level 2, 8% on level 3, 6% on level 4 and 4% on levels 5 to 7
- A11 and higher ranked affiliates earn 10% on level 1, 4% on level 2, 8% on level 3, 6% on level 4, 4% on levels 5 to 7 and 1% on level 8
Note that residual commissions are compressed which means that inactive affiliates across the first eight levels will be replaced by those in deeper legs if needed.
PC Royalty Bonus
The PC Royalty Bonus is a percentage bonus paid on up to five unilevel team levels:
- A-ranked affiliates earn 20% on level 1 (personally sponsored affiliates)
- A1 and A2 ranked affiliates earn 20% on level 1 and 4% on level 2
- A3 and A4 ranked affiliates earn 20% on level 1, 4% on level 2 and 8% on level 3
- A5 and A6 ranked affiliates earn 20% on level 1, 4% on level 2, 8% on level 3 and 6% on level 4
- A7 and higher ranked affiliates earn 20% on level 1, 4% on level 2, 8% on level 3, 6% on level 4 and 4% on level 5
Honestly, this bonus is the same as the standard residual commissions other than the compression factor and the number of levels paid out.
Rank Achievement Bonus
Activz affiliates who qualify at specific ranks are rewarded with the following Rank Achievement Bonuses:
- Qualify at A2 and receive 100 PV product credit
- Qualify at A4 and receive $250
- Qualify at A6 and receive $500
- Qualify at A8 and receive $1000
- Qualify at A10 and receive $2500
Global Bonus Pool
This company seems to take out 8% of monthly company-wide GV and place it into a Global Bonus Pool, which is then split into 10 smaller pools for the affiliates to earn a share:
- A6 to A16 pool – 10% of 8%
- A7 to A16 pool – 10% of 8%
- A8 to A16 pool – 10% of 8%
- A9 to A16 pool – 10% of 8%
- A10 to A16 pool – 10% of 8%
- A11 to A16 pool – 10% of 8%
- A12 to A16 pool – 10% of 8%
- A13 to A16 pool – 10% of 8%
- A14 to A16 pool – 10% of 8%
- A15 to A16 pool – 10% of 8%
Based on rank, Activz affiliates are able to earn from multiple Global Bonus Pools.
BUT WAIT! If you are an A15 and A16 ranked affiliate, you could potentially earn from all ten available Global Bonus Pools!
Legacy Bonus
Activz also takes 1% of monthly company-wide sales volume and place it into the Legacy Bonus pool.
It seems that only A11 to A16 ranked Activz affiliates receive an equal share in the Legacy Bonus pool on a monthly basis.
Legend Bonus
Even more specifically, Activz take 1% of monthly company-wide sales volume and places it into the Legend Bonus pool.
A16 ranked affiliates receive an equal share in the Legend Bonus pool each month.
It seems that A16 seems to get all the perks!
Special Promotions
Activz does not provide a lot of details about their special promotions, however I did find this on their website:
“ACTIVZ offers an array of special promotions that allow our distributors and customers an opportunity to earn more. Rewards such as CREDITS, PRIZES, INCENTIVE TRIPS, TRAINING, BONUSES, and MUCH MORE will be rewarded to those that qualify.”
Cost to Join Activz
Activz lacks relevant information about membership costs based on rankings.
BUT, I did find that Activz affiliate membership seems to be linked to the purchase of an “Activz Starter Kit”.
The prices are only provided in Mexican currency but I did the conversions for you in USD to make it easier as listed below:
- Basic Starter Kit – $2702 MXN ($145 USD)
- Advanced Starter Kit – $5923 MXN ($319 USD)
- Premium Starter Kit – $9140 MXN ($492 USD)
- Premium Starter Kit (more products?) – $11,296 MXN ($608 USD)
*Figures are not exact, but rather an approximation.
The Activz Distributor Policies document states that purchase of the Activz Starter Kit is optional in North Dakota, Massachusetts and Wyoming…
There also seems to be a vaguer affiliate membership option that is considered to be “bare-bones” …
After the first year, renewal of Activz affiliate membership is $25 USD annually (but this can be waived off if an affiliate maintains twelve months of autoship).
Verdict on Activz
I’m going to be honest and upfront right here and say that this company seems to have some glaring issues…
As a business, Activz seems to lack information about their retail products as well as management… two big no-no’s in the MLM world.
This begs the question of how focused this company is on affiliate autoship recruitment…
There are multiple areas where Activz fails to focus on whether it is the general PV requirement (no retail volume requirements), rewarding affiliates on autoship with annual fee waiving and/or product credit bonuses that reward an affiliate’s own orders beyond that of customers.
Also, there’s the fact that the most an Activz affiliate can earn in credit on a retail order is 50 PV.
That’s it.
Conversely, an affiliate earns a:
- 20% product credit if they place an order for 1 to 3 consecutive months
- 25% product credit if they place an order for 4 to 9 consecutive months or a
- 35% product credit if they place an order for 10 or more consecutive months
It seems they want to focus soooooooo much on autoship recruitment that they fail to recognize
the potential of product credit on repeat retail orders?
But I can’t just keep pointing out all the flaws I see with this business… I’ve never seen a minimum volume requirement for unilevel legs.
I do wish it was better explained in the compensation plan though.
It seems like a great way to get affiliates with larger downlines to focus on all of their unilevel legs, as opposed to just building a few and leaving the rest behind.
As an Activz affiliate, the goal is to find out is how much retail PV your upline is generating on a monthly basis versus their own monthly spend.
What you want to see is minimum 50% retail volume counting toward their PV.
Just keep in mind… commissions made on personal orders are a red flag that the company is not circulating any real profit as they might try to market out right…
As great of an idea as this seems, I don’t think Activz has as huge of a retail customer base as they try to pass off.
I guess I’ll round off my review with a quick briefing on what I think about the product’s marketing strategies.
Activz appears to have launched in Mexico last year, where it was promoted as the “cure-all for cancer, leukemia, arthritis, fibromyalgia, diabetes and ‘other advanced diseases’”.
As far as I know, there is no medical proof to back these claims up other the word of a few strangers on the internet.
None of Activz’s products are registered with the FDA.
Maybe be careful about investing your money in a health and wellness based MLM opp if it’s gonna be spouting out unsubstantiated facts like these…
All I can say, approach with caution.
I hope you enjoyed my Activz review and if you have any questions or comments leave them below…
