Hi Everyone!

I have someone who is having their starter show today.

She wants to use the $20 or $40 towards her kit. My director is still out of town on the cruise and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how this works?

Does she sign her agreement online first or do I send the show in first? Is their anything on PP3 I have to mark?

If someone could let me know soon, her show is in about an hour? I realized I don't have a clue how to do this, will be my first recruit and I don't want to act like a complete idiot! :o

Thanks-
Kelly V.
 
You need to send the show in first. In fact, wait 24 hours or so for it to process before you do the online agreement, or else the show won't be in the system.

So lets say she has a $500 show and has $90 in free, she can only pick out $50 (if she wants to use $40 towards) the credit? PP3 won't error that all credit wasn't use??

Can she also still use half price etc....

You have to enter the code 5228 for the $40 kit credit (or 5227 for the $20 kit credit).

She gets all of her host benefits from her show:

$90 FPV ($40 for kit credit and $50 products)
2 half price items
1 of the 60% off items
25% off everything else she wants
free shipping...

thank you!!!!!!!!!
 
How much in sales does the hostess have to have in order to use the FPV towards her kit??
 
Enough to get to $20 or $40 in FPV. So a $200 or $300 cooking show; or $300 or $400 catalog show.
 
I am also getting ready to sign up my first recruit. She is going to use the $40 credit. I plan on submitting the show tomorrow and signing her up on Thursday.
When we go to do the online signup I am assuming it will recognize the credit when my consultant ID is entered along with her name. Or does it ask if a credit is going to be used and then ask for the show number, etc?
Thanks.
 
It asks for the show number.
 
Thanks, I was kinda thinking it might. Just want to make sure I have all the information I need.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hostess credit and how can I use it for my kit?

Hostess credit is the free product value you earn by hosting a Pampered Chef show. You can use this credit to purchase items from the Pampered Chef catalog, including the starter kit, which is designed for new consultants.

How do I apply my hostess credit towards the purchase of my starter kit?

To apply your hostess credit towards your starter kit, simply inform your consultant or the Pampered Chef representative when you are ready to place your order. They will guide you through the process of using your credit to cover the cost of the kit.

Is there a limit to how much hostess credit I can use for my kit?

No, there is no limit to how much hostess credit you can use towards your starter kit. You can use the full amount of your hostess credit to cover the cost, as long as it meets the minimum requirements for the kit you wish to purchase.

Can I combine my hostess credit with other discounts or promotions for my kit?

Generally, hostess credit cannot be combined with other discounts or promotions for the starter kit. However, you should check with your consultant for any special offers that may be available at the time of your purchase.

What if I don’t have enough hostess credit to cover the full cost of the kit?

If your hostess credit does not cover the full cost of the starter kit, you can pay the remaining balance out of pocket. Your consultant will help you with the payment process to ensure you get your kit as soon as possible.
