Do Consultants get credit if someone buys a PC gift certificate from us? I have a friend that wants to buy one from me but she wants to know if I get the credit for one and I had no idea what to tell her. :blushing:
 
Yes...we make commission when it's purchased, not when it's used!
 
You get the commission on the purchase of the gift certificate, but she or th friend cannot redeem the gift certificate through you, they have to use it on the main PC website AND they must pay direct shipping (can't be used at a show). A lot of consultants make their own gift certificates that can be used at their own shows. They although one of the purchases would be "out of pocket" so to speak, you would get commission. Mara

Awesome! Thank you so much for your responses.
 
Can the gift cards be applied to a bridal shower? Can a bride use them to purchase off her registry?
 
No. They can only be used as an individual order through the HO.
 
If they have a PHD shouldn't they be able to use it with the certificate?
 
I believe you can use your PHD.

Oh, so its shipped to the customer? How long does it take? This same friend wants to buy one from me (both last time and this time she told me last minute and needs it this weekend for a wedding). She thought I just had them lying around. LOL. I saw that I can order thru P3 but don't know if when I get payment from my friend if it lets me print one out or they ship it to her. If so, how long? This will be good for me to know for the future. Thank you!
 
If she needs it so soon, maybe you could create a gift certificate usable only thru you?
