I have a host who already owns a lot of Pampered Chef, she had a catalog show to get the cookware host special. She would like to use her free product value to pay for her host special...is this possible?
Sorry, I'm new to this, and wasn't sure!
And, while I'm asking, can you use FPV to pay for 1/2 price items?

Nope, FPV can't pay for host specials, 1/2 price items or anything she buys at a discount.

Thanks! Maybe I missed it, but I couldn't find it in the policy guide.
 
Just remember that they first spend their FPV, then Choose their 1/2 price and discounted items. If they qualify for the guest special, they get that too, then they choose their host special.
Also, don't forget to re-book them and enter that date, so they can get a double host special them month they do another show (within 6 months).
 
You can select your 1/2 price item before the FPV - they are calculated separately. When you select an item as your 1/2 price item, it will be listed in a separate section where it shows the $ amount totals. Free Product is listed first, but you don't have to input it first.
 
I always say: free is free, and half-price is half-price. No tax on your free stuff is cool too! What a great deal that they can save so much! The cookware at half-price is already a humungous deal, they should be happy about that. Could you imagine HO giving people FREE cookware to hosts all the time?! :D :)
 
No double dipping...is what I say!!!

Yes, that is correct, but I try to get my host to think about using that FPV before they pick their 1/2 price item(s).
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my Free Product Value to purchase Host Specials?

No, Free Product Value cannot be used to purchase Host Specials. Host Specials are exclusive offers available to hosts who meet certain party sales criteria, and they must be purchased separately from your Free Product Value.

No, Free Product Value cannot be applied to half-price items. Half-price items are a separate benefit for hosts and must be purchased at the designated half-price rate, not with Free Product Value.

What can I use my Free Product Value for?

Your Free Product Value can be used to select any regular-priced Pampered Chef products from the catalog, excluding Host Specials and half-price items. You can choose from a wide range of products to maximize your benefits as a host.
