Is It Acceptable to Use Unused Host Benefits for Gifts?

[SnowChef]

I have a host who didn't use her host special or all of her 1/2 price items. I would love to use the 1/2 price item to get the cookware for my MIL for Christmas! Any thoughts on if this is ok?

Thanks

I'm too new with PC to answer that for you. I hope someone can answer it for you...

I would ask the host permission to have your mother-in-law co-host the party.

Because:

1. It is the host's party and benefits.
2. You shouldn't buy cookware for someone else under someone else's name (warranty issues).

If your host doesn't allow it, try to get some Christmas orders together for a catalog show for your MIL.

Thanks I love the co-host idea, I think she would go for that! I too was worried about the warranty issues. Would there be any drawbacks for my host to add MIL as a co-host. The real host would still get all the Free Product, so everything would remain the same for her, right?

Yes, they choose how to split host benefits if they co-host. Just remember future booking benefits go to one. You cannot use each for both.

Yes, free product can all be used by one.

Janet,
Do you know? The show probably has to be sent all to one address to, right?

Thanks for your help!

Yes, that is correct. You can direct ship to guests, but I don't think there is any way to direct ship to the co-host. Basically because if they co-host they should be in the same place.

I had a situation where my friend hosted a show with her sister from out of state. I couldn't enter the sister as the cohost and had to enter her as a guest because she needed direct shipping. She just worked out the financials with her sister to figure out how to split the host benefits. (Sister got all the free stuff as host and then paid for some of the other sister's items...)



P.S. If that show is a November show, you get POR points for that cookware!

Janet, How do I enter a co-host. I went back to start all over with the show #, but I don't see where I can put one in.

Help!?!

Actually you can direct ship the co-host. They pay direct shipping costs just like an out of town order. I've done this several times for the same reason (host didn't use all of the benefits and another customer wanted a special).

 

[SnowChef]

That would be great--but how do I enter a co-host? I just don't see the option anywhere?

 

[SnowChef]

oh wait! I found it! I knew I had seen it somewhere!! Thanks for all suggestions!!

I will have to double-check P3 then - couldn't get it to do it for me! Must have been a fluke.

Got it figured out, checked with my host. Having it direct shipped to MIL! She is overjoyed! She had just told me last weekend she was going out to buy a new cookware set. I told her to wait and let me see what I could do to get her Pampered Chef set. Unfortunetly this isn't a Nov. show, but that's ok. Thanks for the help everyone! Have a happy holiday!

You can ship co host products to you , you can have any order shipped direct even the cohost order

it actually says 03 years for 3 months. I put a .03 in there but it wouldn't take the "." It didn't give me an option for months, so I did 03, hoping people would figure out it meant 3 months...
oh well.

That's o.k. - most use the <> symbols, although half of the population never gets which one is which right...but once again, that was another old thread.
