We cannot use it as show payment, because commission is paid on the GC when it is purchased. If we were to also pay for a show with the GC, then HO would be paying commission on it twice.
Although, if P3 could adjust down the commissionable sales to account for the GC payment, that would be a fair option. At least then the customer could use it at a party and not have to pay direct shipping. But I don't know how many consultants want to lose out on commissionable sales at a party.
