I'm about to hit my sixth month in the business and have a couple booking credits about to expire.

If a show is booked within the six months, but submitted after the six month deadline, does the previous host still get the benefit?
 
I know the show date has to be within 6 months of the previous show. Not sure about submission deadline though...
 
I think as long as the show date is within six months.

Can you email or call the solution center and let us know the answer?
 
I'm pretty sure that it's based on Show Date. I know that host's expiration dates are based on show date, not submit date.
 
I'll check more, but our catalogs say, "When a guest at your Show books their own show and holds it within six months, you can order one of the Monthly Host Specials at their show, too!"

Based on that, I'd say show date...the wouldn't want to take it away from a customer by saying, sorry, you held a show within 6 months but your consultant didn't submit it until 6 months and 3 days. That wouldn't be too good for us...
 
For some odd reason I think that they have until the last day of the 6th month to hold their show, not necesarily by the day of the month. Don't know where I heard that, but I know I heard or read it somewhere......

Well, you do now! Looks good on ya too.
 
Yes, Linda is right! As long as the show is HELD any time up until and including the 6th month. So, if someone held a show dated Dec 12, they would have till the end of JUNE to hold another show and still get the host credit. I wouldn't try and explain that to hosts, I would just tell them it must be held within 6 months. :)
 
Thanks Kelly! Glad to know I wasn't dreaming this up.
 
Kelly, you got that right.
