Can't we order either the September host or guest special in August to promote that month? I forget which it is.

UPDATE: Found an old email from my Director:
I wanted to be sure everyone knew that as consultants, we are able to purchase the GUEST special for the upcoming month with our discount. As a consultant, you can order anything at anytime at a 20% discount. We can order the upcoming guest special one month in advance at the special price. The only time we can't take advantage of the guest special is when it is "spend a certain amount and you get XX free".

SO...since the stoneware is 20% off next month and we get an additional 20% off as consultants, we can order as many stones as we want for 40% off!

First, be sure to download the product AND program update for Pampered Partner. Go into Pampered Partner and click on "update products". Enter the SPECIAL PRODUCT NUMBER LISTED IN YOUR KITCHEN CONSULTANT NEWS OR ON THE WEBSITE (not the regular product number) for the stone(s) you want and change the "date range" to begin August 1st to September 30th. Then go into "non commission orders" and "add personal order". Then type in the PRODUCT SPECIAL NUMBER and it will do the rest!

Hey, I thought we could do the get x free when you spend $60 if we DO spend $60...I believe it is in the RFS that we have to follow the same rules, but can get it a month early...I'll check and get back to ya!

That is correct when the special is spend so much get this. When the special is % off you can order the items at the guest % off and your discount is also subtracted so you will get at least 20% more off with those specials. And yes, you can get them a month ahead.
 
Beth - YOU ROCK!

What my director meant (although it was a little unclear) was that you can'y get the x for x special without spending the money.

Beth: I am soo glad you speak "Anne"! And can translate what the heck I mean!
