For the first time in 3 years I processed an individual order. In the past whenever someone called me I just added it to an upcoming show. With the hustle and bustle of the holidays I decided to process an order as an individual order. The woman asked me if there were any specials and I informed her of the beaded spreader. She made sure her order was over $60 because she wanted the special. Low and behold...you can't give a guest special to an individual order! I guess it would help if I read the fine print!!!!! I am going to send this woman my beaded spreader since I already told her she would be getting it. My question....is there a particular reason why an individual order can't the guest special?

Then why does an outside order associated with a show get the guest special? They didn't attend but were invited. Here I have a customer who remembers PC and wants to purchase. Doesn't seem right. The way I see it is either everyone spending over $60 gets the guest special or ONLY those in attendance at a show and spends over $60 gets the guest special.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean if my individual order can't get the special?
If your individual order can't get the special, it typically means that the items you are trying to purchase do not meet the requirements to qualify for the promotional offer. This could be due to minimum purchase amounts, specific product exclusions, or timing issues related to the promotion.
How can I find out if my order qualifies for the special?
You can check if your order qualifies for the special by reviewing the terms and conditions of the promotion. Additionally, you can consult with your Pampered Chef consultant, who can provide guidance on eligible products and any minimum purchase requirements.
Are there any exceptions to the special offers?
Yes, there are often exceptions to special offers. Certain products may be excluded from promotions, and there may be limits on the number of discounted items you can purchase. Always refer to the specific promotion details for any exclusions or limitations.
What should I do if I believe my order should qualify for the special?
If you believe your order should qualify for the special but is not being recognized, contact your Pampered Chef consultant for assistance. They can help review your order and determine if there was an error or misunderstanding regarding the promotion.
Can I combine multiple orders to qualify for the special?
