I have a relatively new consultant who will likely go inactive 1 Apr. She will reactive in Apr but she is active duty AF and really isn't worried about career sales. My question is, what happens to her PC Dollars if she goes inactive? I told her I believe she just won't be able to use them until she reactivates.

Anyone know for sure?

Thanks!
 
Hi Debi! You're correct. She has to be active to use her PC$. It's on page nine of Policies and Procedures.

That's right. I had a consultant call me because she had a guest who was a past consultant with PC$$ who wanted to pay for her order at a show with them.

I know you can't do THAT but I called HO to see if someone could buy the PC$$ from her and the answer is: If she EARNED them from Pampered Chef they are not transferrable and she cannot use them if she is inactive. It they were purchased for her they are transferrable and (as we know) can be used by a consultant for supplies, personal orders, conference.

Thank you ladies! Guess I should have looked it up BEFORE asking. Sorry about that! I guess I thought it was a more unusual question.
 
One of my consultants that went inactive sent in a supply order and it was rejected but I was told that she could still use it (only) for a personal order.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to go inactive with Pampered Chef?

Going inactive with Pampered Chef means that a consultant has not met the minimum sales requirements or has not submitted any orders for a specific period, typically six months. When this happens, the consultant loses their active status and certain benefits associated with being an active consultant.

How does going inactive affect my Pampered Chef Dollars?

If you go inactive, you will lose any accumulated Pampered Chef Dollars. These are rewards that can be used for discounts on future purchases, and they are only available to active consultants. Once you become inactive, you will not be able to redeem these dollars.

Can I reactivate my account after going inactive?

Yes, you can reactivate your account after going inactive. To do so, you typically need to submit a new order or meet the minimum sales requirements within a specified timeframe. Once you reactivate, you will regain access to your benefits, including Pampered Chef Dollars.

Is there a grace period before my account goes inactive?

Yes, Pampered Chef usually provides a grace period before an account is officially marked as inactive. This period can vary, but it is generally around six months without sales activity. During this time, consultants are encouraged to engage in sales and maintain their active status.

What can I do to avoid going inactive?

To avoid going inactive, ensure that you meet the minimum sales requirements set by Pampered Chef. This can include hosting parties, selling products, and actively engaging with customers. Staying connected with your team and participating in training and events can also help maintain your active status.
