can I put it in a show as payment??
 
No. GC's can only be used online at pamperedchef.com or mailed in (still with direct shipping charges).

I wish there was some way they could figure out how to add it to a show! :(

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.
 
we're losing anyway because most of us don't promote them because the terms to redeem them stink. I would be willing to sell GCs and take the chance that the redeember wouldn't redeem with me if commission weren't paid until they are redeemed. Yes, I could sell some that I would not get any commission from, but I may also receive some that I didn't sell. It cuts both ways. GC sales could easily be like the past host specials, the price goes toward party total, but we dont' make any commisssion on them either.
 
I wouldn't even mind not getting commission when they're redeemed, often the redeemer spends more than the card's value anyway. When that happens in the current environment, the commission for that extra doesn't go back to the selling consultant.
