you can use the celebrations recipe cards. I did this at one show after my director mentioned that she does it. Out of 17 guests, all but 2 people paid w/ plastic! (and guess what? One of those checks bounced!!! my first one, too.)

Have Host Charge it!

I have the guests use a credit card or write the checks to the host. Then I have the host use a credit card for the balance due to me. I've done this using Pampered Partner and have not had any problems. MUCH better than having to worry about checks clearing and screwing up my bank account. I suppose if the host doesn't want to use a card, you could tell them them there is an extra wait time of 5 business days for the check to clear your bank.

Uh Oh

I just put through a show where there are three orders on one card. I entered the card info on each of the three orders even. I thought the rule was that you could not put an entire show on one card. Thanks for the heads up and I may get a call from the home office!
OOPS!

 

Multiple Orders on CC

I closed a show that had at least 5 orders on the host's CC. The order has shipped and been received with no call from HO. Each person had written a check (or cash) directly to the host and she then used her CC for each of those orders.

 

I had heard that to and found out...

That those fees can be upwards of $10 or more! Could you imagine running umteen credit cards at $10 a pop and having to pay for it too!
YIKES!

 

I just closed a show yesterday and the host used her check card for all her final outside orders plus her order so that she wouldn't have to hold her show open any longer in order to mail me the checks. She is over 50 miles away. She just had those people write her a check so that we could close her show over the phone. I've never been told we can only run one or two orders off one card. I guess I better spend more time reading my RFS binder. If the HO calls me then I'll just explain what happened. Hopefully they don't hold up the Show or call though.

 

I just submitted a show where the host paid for all the orders but one on her credit card. The other guest paid with her own credit card. When tallying up the hosts order, on the right it shows the balance owed by the host (for those who have not yet paid). So I just entered one big payment under her order. I did not enter her cc# under each individual order.

The show shipped yesterday, so I guess it's fine!

So no worries everyone! Like John pointed out, the whole show can't go on one card, but the bulk of it can!
