Hello. Hoping for a little clarification on reactivation policies. Due to a difficult pregnancy and delivery, I have not turned in a show since October. I am not concerned about the loss of career sales as I had previously lost them while my mom was battling cancer and had not reached $15000 again. I did not have a downline to be concerned about either. My question is since April is my 6th month inactive, would I need to purchase a new kit next month in order to reactivate? Considering I have no current supplies, and no longer have any inventory, I would actually prefer to buy a new kit than just place a $200
Order, but also don't want to wait much longer to get started again!
 
If April is month 6 you could submit a $150 show in April and you'd be good to go. If you don't do that you could come back on the returning consultant program for $25 (you'd get catalogs and I'm not sure what else too). Then you'd keep your consultant number and be under the same upline. Or, if you wanted to, you could buy one of the kits and start all over, even changing recruiters if you chose and you would be eligible for the new consultant rewards.So sorry to hear of your difficulties, I hope all goes well for you from here out!
 
Are you in Canada? I noticed you mentioned a $200 show.

Anyway...I took a look at the policy guide because I had a vague memory of asking for an extension. Looks like they have changed it a LOT - the US version is only for natural disasters & military, and you have to submit it in the 2nd month of inactivity. How would anyone know in the 2nd month they would need it by the 6th month, is my question? I might be reading it wrong. My advice is to email them & ask for an extension anyway. The worst that could happen is they say no.

Just do the least expensive option, and cuddle up that new baby!

Thanks ladies. I'm in the US. It's just been so long I had $200 stuck in my head! LOL
I'd rather buy the new kit and be eligible for rewards again, etc... I just wanted to be sure that I would be able to do that kn may. (If it was going to be longer I would just submit a show)
