I have two people who both ordered over $100 in products. I added an order in my mother's name (her Christmas present) and it put the show at the $300 mark. I want to get the half price Executive cookware sets (rather, have DH get it for me for Christmas), but need to put it on a credit card.

Can I pay for the host order with my or my husband's personal credit card? Or does it have to be paid for with my PC debit card?
 
You should be able to pay with your credit card. Enter your payment like you would for any other host!
 
GOOD QUESTION! I do believe you can pay with any credit card since you are doing it as host and hosts can use their own cards. The part that must be paid with PC debit or credit is the part that was paid to you via cash or credit and any consultant gifts. Please let us know though!
 
It should work Beth - I've done it before...way past my first 90 days too. You are correct in your analysis. The debit card is used for consultant payments - anything that came in by cash or check. But you can use your regular credit card on your order if you are the host.
 
Hi there! Congratulations on reaching the $300 mark for your show! That's fantastic. In order to get the half price Executive cookware sets, you do need to pay for the host order with your PC debit card. However, you can always pay for the order with your personal credit card and then reimburse yourself with the commission you earn from the show. I hope this helps! Happy cooking!
