. The first thought that came to mind was "Oh no, there goes my PC money!!" 
So, how long am going to be waiting?!?!?In the meantime, open up a bank account especially for PC, then through the website apply for your PC debit card. The PC debit card is used in Pampered Partner for paying for shows and your supply orders, that way PC just takes the money out of your account automatically. This account is where you get paid too!!
Good luck!
