You HAVE to do it, it's not automatic.When you are putting in the item numbers on the order entry screen, click on the magnifying glass next to a blank line. Then when the look up screen pops up click on the word "Item Number" and it will sort the table by the item numbers. Then just scroll down to GI29. Double click it and it will add to the order. You have to do this manually because PC will not automatically ship it themselves and they won't always help you out if you forget!

You need to enter the guest special on each guest's order who qualifies to get it (Spent $50 on product and pantry items (before shipping and tax). If the guest is a past host within 12 months of the show then she should have a past host number and will get 10% off her order - the $50 for her is AFTER she gets her discount (so she needs to buy $55.75 in product minus her discount = $50 plus shipping and tax).Amagil said:
For the February guest special the product # is: GI29

When entering a Host or Guest special you have to enter a special item # assigned to that product. You can find the number on CC or on the promotion flyer. The # for the free cutting board is GI29 (the letter I not 1) I'm mentioning that because it has thrown many a consultant for a loop!!
