And, yes, I have a conscience, apparently I was not clear on the rules. I just assumed my mother had the same advantages as ALL of my other hosts and customers.

LOL! I don't think she (or I) was questioning your conscience...we just got off on that for those who DO know the rules.

The best thing I read when I started was the policies and procedures manual (I know I'm a geek). It really helped to understand most issues I'd encounter. I recommend a reading to anyone new.

well I guess I will have show without the benefits! My question is I use my mother in laws address to ship all of my stuff too, so I looks like I live with her but they have still accepted her as a host. my physical address is to much of a pain to find! my street is my driveway and no one can ever find it! I guess because I have my po box listed it technically isn't the same as hers.

I would call and ask HO about it!!!

Yes, she lives in the same house. And, yes, I have a conscience, apparently I was not clear on the rules. I just assumed my mother had the same advantages as ALL of my other hosts and customers.

You got to understand... I jsut got a letter from HO about something that I didnt' know I was in the wrong for...... when in doubt call HO they are always happy to help us!!

If that is the case, you could in good conscious address the show as follows:

mother in law's name
c/o your name
her address
city/state/zip

Since she doesn't live with you she is eligible to get those benefits. It doesn't matter that you have your orders shipped there. Just be sure that the "c/o" part is on the first line for the address.

Thank you for clearing that up.
I have definately read the policies and procedures and I knew that I could not take advantage of the booking benefit and I knew that I could not recruit anyone that lived here but I guess I was unclear on the part about household members taking advantage of the Booking Benefit and I never would think to question HO about it, as I didn't even think it was an issue. Every product we (as a household) own has been something I've earned as a consultant, my mom has earned as a host or my mom or husband has bought at Full Price, so I just never imagined that I was breaking the rules.
Guess my mom is going to have to find a new place to live...j/k

I never knew about the booking benefit either. I was going to have Wesley host the show since he wants the cookware, not that I wouldn't mind having it either. So it doesn't matter who hosts the show right? I would still get free products and the hostess special correct?
