Hope I don't confuse anyone too much, but, I had a catalog show in July and the hostess said that her ex MIL was wanting to have a show in Sept. No problem right? Well, then I find out that it was going to be co-hosted, still no prob, right? Well her MIL combined her order with the person she was going to co-host with and so, never getting back to me for definate dates, I told her I would put in a tentative date and we could change it later. Finally got a date yesterday and now I find out that it is just the ex MIL doing the show. So now my problem is that I put in the booking as the once co-host's name. Do I just place the order in that name for the show now so she can still get host specials for the month or what do I do? Sorry if it's confusing! TIA!:confused:
 
You will be fine. I think it goes by the # of shows booked instead of names.

Where did you get that information? I'm pretty sure it goes by the name. I've tried putting in another host special on the wrong name before, and P3 pops up with a box that says "Sorry, the host special is only available to the host and the past host from which the show was booked."

I would say enter the show as a co-hosted show, but just don't enter anything under the other woman's name. No order or anything. Put the entire host order as the co-host, the MIL, but just keep the show in the correct name for your booking.

Both co-hosts get a 10% discount for a year.
