If a family member wants to purchase something, but wants to use my credit card and pay me later, is that okay? Or would that flag it somehow since the person's name would not be the same as the credit card?

You guys know everything :p so I figured someone would know the answer to this one, too!

(oh, this would be on a show, not an individual order. not sure if that would matter?)
 
I've never had a problem when the name on the card is different than the "Guest". YOu said it's your credit card? The other thing you can do is just enter it as "cash" in the payment information screen, then it just gets debited from your account. That's just another option.:)

Becky,

True, I could do the debit thing.......but heck, why take money out of my acct if I dont have much LOL I would rather just charge it and have them pay me! :p

Thank you so much!! All of you guys are so dang smart here!!! I wish I had ya'll at my home so I wouldnt even have to type out my questions (gettin' lazy, eh?? ha!)

Thanks again!!
 
That's true. Plus if you're like me and get airline miles on your credit card...even better!:D
 
I have used another person's card for a guests order and nothing happened. I used my mom's card for one of my orders once...doesn't matter

If you have the Pampered Chef credit card it will NOT let you use it. I tried you use it when my sister was getting payed the next day.
 
EnterTheir order as cash or check....then pay the balance on your Pampered Chef Credit card. They can pay you later....:D
