IST 195 Week7----Blog Review Post: A blog summary of Ty Tribble

The blogger that I researched is a blog of Ty Tribble. He is a famous blogger for social media and entrepreneur. Ty grew up in Seattle and later spent most of his time to live on the western side of Washington State. After Ty started his own full-time business, he had a really a successful career in corporate America. However, he preferred to work for himself. So now, he has his own business and he is able to work at home without going any place for his job.  

   His blog is called MLM Blog, and the article that I am interested about is “Amway Settles Gift Card Lawsuit For $20 Million”. In the article, the Amway Corporation was sued because the company redeem gift card before a certain expire date which was viewed as a violation of several state laws by the customers. According to the blogger, all expired gift cards or gift cards nearly to be expired worth more than $20 million. He believed that Amway provided Ribbon Gift Card which violates the right of Amway’s customs.

    The lawsuit continued for two years. Finally, on February 16, 2011, the Superior Court of Los Angeles proclaimed that Amway’s consumers will have mostly two months from April to June in 2011 to change a new Amway gift card. Not only that, the Amway company has to give extra service and benefit to their consumers and they can never use “redeem before” gift card or anything similar for their products.
