Gift Certificate Count for Host Orders? - Need Advice

[Chefgailb]

I had a show yesterday, and someone asked me if they bought a gift certificate at the show I was holding, if it would count toward the hosts
orders.

I really don't know. Can someone tell me. Thanks.

Re: Can people buy gift certificates at a host show to count as an order for the hostYes, they can and yes they do. Once they have the Gift Certificate, they can not be used at a show to purchase items from a host show.

Re: Can people buy gift certificates at a host show to count as an order for the hostYes, just what John said. To expand on that, when the GC is redeemed through the main PC site, it cannot be used for Outlet items, the user must pay direct shipping on their order, and if they go over the amount of the GC, the additional amount is not credited to anyone for commissionable sales. They do count as guest sales when purchased at a show, though.

Re: Can people buy gift certificates at a host show to count as an order for the hostalso, if the redeember of the GC has a past host discount, itr cannot be used. HO says it's because they have already paid commission to the consultant who sold it. I think the commission should be held until it is redeemed so that the recipient can use it in any way they see fit and their other discounts could be applied. Just my opinion.

Hi there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I can confirm that any purchases made with a gift certificate at a show will count towards the host's orders. Gift certificates are a great way to support and reward your hosts, so feel free to promote them at your shows. Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy cooking!
