If a host books a show off of her show and holds it withing six months would this essentially mean that she would be eligible for 2 host specials in the month she host her next show?
 
Yes- as long as the booking was entered when the first show was submitted.At the second show, she'll have to have a guest order in her name for the booking benefit special (and pay shipping on this one), and then you can put the second on her host order.
 
Usually, when I have a host do this, I pay the shipping on their extra order, as a gift for rebooking within 6 months!
 
This question leads me to another question. If a host has two people book off her for the same month can the host go buy the host special from each show booked in the month? That sounds confusing...
Can a host get two booking benifits in one month?
 
Absolutely! And if it's a month in which there are 4 host specials (like November this year), then she can get all 4 if she has 4 bookings that month. (Or she can get 4 of the same thing...)
 
TipAlways put your host down as a booking. That way if she changes her mind later you will be able to get her the two host specials for that month (within the six month time period).

That's how I usually get my hosts to rebook! They learn of some great monthly host special and agree to do the show to get two of them.

Debbie :D
 
Hmmm, I didn't even think about doing this. I will start including this for my hosts so that they can consider booking when the new season comes out! Thanks!
 
Question....if you put the host down for a booking do you make up a date?
 
Yes, I usually make up dates for everyone because they don't usually get back to me with a date by the time I close the show anyway.
 
I rebook every host! I explain the benefit, we choose a month and a tentative date. I tell them that two months out from the show date, we will finalize the date. Some have chosen the exact date. Every single one of my host has rebooked since I started doing this 3 months ago. My Feb./Mar./Apr. will have 10 bookings each. I know what my calendar will look like.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 6-Month Rule for Pampered Chef Host Eligibility?

The 6-Month Rule states that individuals who have hosted a Pampered Chef party within the last six months are not eligible to host another party to qualify for the current host specials. This rule ensures that all hosts have a fair opportunity to take advantage of the specials offered by Pampered Chef.

Can I host a party if I hosted one more than six months ago?

Yes, if it has been more than six months since your last Pampered Chef party, you are eligible to host a new party and can take advantage of the current host specials. There is no limit on how many parties you can host as long as they are spaced out by at least six months.

Are there any exceptions to the 6-Month Rule?

What happens if I host a party and then want to host again within six months?

If you host a party and then wish to host another within six months, you will not be eligible for the current host specials. You’ll need to wait until the six-month period has passed to qualify for any new host incentives.
