Here's the deal.... My sister sent me a link to a website called Mamasource. I joined and what's cool about it that you can hook up to your area, like when I'm on it, I can see questions and concerns of people in Spokane, WA.
Well, I was just browsing around and came across something called Members Perks. And when I opened it, the first thing I see is Pampered Chef and I click on it and it an advertisement for a lady in my area advertising her website and offering a free pink product this month when you order from her. Can we do this?:confused:
I didn't think we could but I know this girl and I know that she is a director and so that is why I'm second guessing myself.
Please let me know because I'd like to tell her myself and not get her in trouble but at the same time I don't think it's fair that I can't advertise like this in my area!
I will try to post the link!

this is what it says on the perks page

Great Recipes, Amazing Tools

May is Help Whip Cancer month. Have fun and help find a cure! You'll get a FREE Pink product from me! Redeem/Print

Visit my website
 
If you print the page as a PDF (you can download PrimoPDF for free, and that's what it does), and then send it to HO. That's totally against the policies.

okay, where do I report this at? I contacted her a week ago and she never responded and it's not fair that she breaks the rules and gets away with it!:grumpy:

If you have a PDF of the page, send that, too, to make it easier for HO to investigate it.
 
It's people like her that make me wish I wasn't so pure

Do I have to say who I am and do they tell who reports it? I'm just curious. I'd like to stay annoymous, but if not, I still want to report this because she obviously does not care enough to even respond to me, and I just think it stinks because I and others in this area are not advertising and it's just not right!:grumpy:
 
They won't give your name to the violator.

I always include my name to HO.
