I just ordered the double burner griddle and the 12" exec. skillet (I have the 5 and 7 piece exec sets already but really wanted a larger skillet). I have more points coming for a recruit who just qualified (it seems to be taking forever for those points to show up though!) and I know I have more cookware sales coming in on Sept shows that are yet to close. Next on my list is the lid for the 12" and the 12 qt stockpot. If I get all of that, next will be the 12" stainless.

Anyone already receive their free stuff? What's everyone working towards?
 
i earned the 5pc set. i have the 7 pc, and all the other pieces i want. WOO HOO!!
 
I just got the 10" SS Saute' pan today! I have a 12" stainless (not PC), so decided to give this a try. I also got the Exec grill pan. I am going to hang on to the rest of my points and probably use it to get Christmas gifts.
 
I just redeemed points for the 12 inch ss skillet, and will save the rest of my points until the end, then decide what else.
 
I'm waiting for my points to show up, and I will order the 7 piece Exec. Can't wait!
 
I am still working to push my points up. I don't care for the SS stuff- doesnt suit my style of cooking at this time. I want the full Executive set. I am still using my old Generation II set, and while it was the best at the time, I noticed that my little saute pan has worn through the non stick on the bottom. I will have to throw it away. I earned my Gen II through Pan O Rama way back when... I will do it again!
 
I hope to get the 10" stainless saute pan, too, but I would love to earn enough points to get the 5 piece Exec.
 
Got the 12" SS Covered Skillet. Next up is the 12 qt stockpot. Then probably the Exec Grill Pan to replace my professional one. Then we'll see where I'm at....if I have enough to get the 5 pc Exec, I'll do that. I have the 7 pc and it's really enough for me, but you can't turn down free cookware!

Or just get some 8" saute pans to use for incentives...
 
I have 3002 points with 2 shows to submit by tomorrow.

I know I am getting the

Double Burner Griddle
12 qt. Stockpot
Skillet Lid
Stir Fry Skillet

I am not sure how many points that takes up. I think I have enough to get all that already but if not I should after my 2 shows this weekend. I know one host is suppose to the 5 and 7 piece and the past host is getting the 5piece.

I LOVE PANORAMA!!!!! This is my first full one to go through. When I first started one had just finished. Of course, if not for the Sept Host Special, I would not have hardly any points if any at all. So, I am not expecting to get points after this month, but you never know.
 
I want the 7 pc Executive. I am getting close and can't wait!!!!
 
I have just over 2100 points so far. I think I'll wait until the end to get my free pans. I want the exec double burner griddle, exec 12" skillet (since I won't be able to use my prof one after March), and 10" ss saute pan. If I get enough points, I'd like the exec 5-pc set, but I don't think I'll get that many. I have anything else I'd need. I'm not a big fan of the ss, so the 10" & the 8" I already earned should be enough. I already have the 7-pc exec, exec grill pan, grill press, 8" saute pan in each line, & exec 11" griddle, along with some prof pieces.
 
I just got the 12" Exec Skillet and plan on getting the Grill Pan next. I have a show tomorrow and hope that the host will take advantage of the special. Oh, and I want the lid for the skillet as well!:D
 
I love the SS. I didn't think I would like it as much as I do, but I REALLY like it. I think I am going to get the 7 piece too.
 
I got the 5 piece set and the 12 quart stockpot so far. (Yea, I still didn't have the Exec Cookware sets, only the open stock.) I'm not sure what I'll get next because I have everything now. I might get the stainless skillet but I don't really care for stainless.
 
I clicked on the 12 inch SS as my choice and hit submit, but the total points still remain. How long does it take to subtract off?

Mine showed up pretty quickly... next to the pieces I ordered, it says "redeemed September 27".

Does anyone know how long after a recruit becomes active that we get the 500 pt recruiting bonus? I know she joined after Aug 15, she got her cookbook in her starter kit, and she is definitely now active and I got confirmation of that from HO. Still waiting...
 
She has to qualify by October 31 in order for you to get the 500 points.
 
I got the 12" stainless for me and 12" executive for my mom so far. I've submitted almost 3000 cookware points this weekend! YIPPEE! So with that, and what's in the bank, I'm going to get the 12" lid for my mom, another 8" exec saute for me, a stir fry skillet, and who knows what else!!! I'm loving this!!! WOOHOO!!!

Sorry, I used the wrong word... she qualified with 4 shows... though I think I found the answer to my question, looks like her 4th show is on hold due to a credit card issue. So I think that's what is holding it up.
 
I'll have to contact HO tomorrow. My points will not submit. It stays gray when I click submit and does nothing else.
 
My points were in this am for the 6 shows I submitted yesterday...WOW, that was FAST! I ordered the 12" lid, 8" exec., stir fry skillet, and 12 qt. stockpot! YIPPEE!!!!
 
I really hope my points show up quick! I submitted 2 cooking shows and 3 catty's yesterday......for a grand total of 3963 points! YAY! I already got the 12" skillet, now I am going to get the sq grill pan and press, 12" lid, dbl burner griddle, and a new 8" saute pan (since I have enough points, mine has a little chip in it from lugging it back and forth to demos anyway, I'll give that to my SIL who just purchased a bunch of cookware!)
 
I am hoping to get 72 more points and then I am going to get the Grill Pan & Press and also the Double Burner Griddle...If I don't get those 72 points then I am going to get the Grill Pan & Press but I am not sure what else...
 
I just redeemed some of my points for the grill press yesterday... I'm still trying to decide what else I want! :)
 
I got the 12" covered SS skillet with my first bunch of POR points. I already have the 8" and the 1.5qt SS pieces...and I already have all the Exec stuff from the last POR incentive a few years back. I don't know what to get. I wish I knew someonme who was getting married - I'd get them a cookware set for their wedding! I have just over 1300 points now with a bunch more coming in over the next few days as I close out shows...I am thinking maybe I'll save it up and cash in for a cookware set and then break it up & give the pieces away as incentives for my team...

I think that is a great idea! It is great to be able to show a piece other than the saute pan at shows....and more cookware sales for them = more % and points for you!

I am trying to think - what can I do to make them "earn" it? Like what would be the challenge...consultant who sells the most cookware in January gets one piece? Top recruiter? I dunno...
 
Ok question for all, I alread y have the 7 piece set. Do I really need the 5 pc set too, or could I just get a bunch of openstock itmes? What do you think?

How about a drawing? Give entries for each piece of cookware (or whatever) and each show in January. Bonus entry for $1000 show. Then draw a winner.

It would have to be something that your cluster would do. My Director could offer all the recruiting "carrots" in the world, and there's only a couple of us who would even consider working for it.

OOH!! How about whoever beats the habitual top performer? If nobody beats her, then she gets it - if she beat her personal best month.
