I'm hoping someone could answer a question for me about Sept's host special! Before I signed to be a consultant, I had a show in July & one of my guests booked a show off mine for September. I'm not the consultant that will be doing her show, so I'm going to be invited as a guest. Can I buy a stone at the 60% off price by using my "booking bonus" and also get an additional 10% off by using my PHD? Or is the entire special null & void for me since I'm now a consultant? Please let me know what you think!
 
I am pretty sure that once you're a consultant it is gone, but that was always when you were doing the show. If you are coming as a guest and it was booked off when you were a host I don't know how HO would even catch it. I doubt they cross check all the past hosts with the consultant list. I would give it a try and see if HO lets it through!
 
I think the opposite.. I think you can purchase as a guest and have the 60% off. I had this happen to me. I was the host, then signed, and on all shows that booked from my show, I did get the host special.
 
I actually know that you CAN use your host bonus. The same thing happened to me. I actually talked with my director about it, so that I could get the Feb host special (60% off the cookware). I have my family skillet in my cupboard right now! Go for it!!!
 
Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can definitely help answer your question about the September host special. According to our policies, consultants are not eligible for host specials, even if they are attending a show as a guest. This means that unfortunately, you would not be able to use your booking bonus or PHD discount on the stone at 60% off. However, you can still earn commission on any sales made at the show, so it's still a win-win situation! I hope this helps clarify things for you. Happy cooking!
