Not sure what to do about this: I have a host who that had a show last week (1/24) and wants to wait to close her show this Thursday (2/2). Will she still get the Host specials for Januart - the 1=1 1/2? She has a couple more people wanting to order, but can't get their order until Wednesday night. She doesn't have a large show total so this would really help her out. Just not sure if this will count as a January or February Show.
 
It'll count as a January show for her as long as the show is dated in January. It'll count as a February show for you in terms of commission, but not toward the double points. Shows need to be held and submitted in February to count as double points toward the incentive trip.
 
It's understandable that your host wants to wait until Thursday to close her show, especially if she has a couple more people wanting to order. As for whether she will still get the Host specials for January, it ultimately depends on the policies of the company or organization you're hosting the show for. I would recommend reaching out to a representative or checking the guidelines to see if there is a specific deadline for closing shows in order to qualify for the specials. If there is no clear answer, it's best to err on the side of caution and assume that it will count as a February show. However, it never hurts to ask and explain the situation to the representative to see if there is any flexibility. Good luck!
