My 90 days is coming up, Dec 7. When am I able to use the KE? Is it only a one time order? Is there any limit on what we order?

thank you
 
I just passed my 90 days, Dec. 1, yesterday and I got an e-mail that I am eligible for
a Kit enhancement in December. I understand that all pampered chef consultants are entitled to another Kit enhancement in April.
Good luck in you new venture!
 
You can only order up to $500 worth of stuff. That's retail price, not consultant price. If you'd like to use your Pampered Chef dollars to pay for your kit enhancement, you can. I had trouble ordering during KE... was hard to limit myself to only $500 retail! I didn't pay anything for the items I got thanks to PC dollars!
 
Up to $500 retail and you only have one chance to submit. Make your list and check it twice ;) before you put it in. Yes, you'll get a chance in April, but why would you want to wait that long for something you forgot to put on the current one.
And I believe you can only get 1 of any item. I could be wrong on this part.
 
Here's the info from page 11 of the Policy Guide:

Kit Enhancement
All active Consultants may purchase products from the entire line at a 40% discount during kit enhancement month, which occurs every year in April.
• To place a kit enhancement order submit your orders via PamperedPartner® Plus or send a sales receipt with payment to the Home Office.
• All Consultants, regardless of title, must be active for 3 consecutive months in order to submit a kit enhancement order.
For Example: For April kit enhancement, Consultants must be active January – March or February – April.
In the second case, at least $150 in personal commissionable sales must be submitted in April prior to submitting a kit enhancement order.
• Only one kit enhancement order is allowed per Consultant during April.
• New Consultants are eligible for kit enhancement in their fourth full month of business if they have been active in the three consecutive previous months. If they have been active in only the two previous months, they can submit $150 in personal commissionable sales in the fourth month, and then place a kit enhancement order.
(If your New Consultant Kit enhancement month would be April, it will be assigned to May instead.)
* A Consultant is considered new in the month he/she joins or until $150 in commissionable sales is submitted, at which time they are considered active.
• The retail value of items ordered, before discount, cannot exceed $500.
• Kit enhancement orders cannot be combined with any other order.
• Only one quantity of any item may be purchased during kit enhancement month.
• One order per month may be made with a $4.50 shipping charge per month. (*$6.50 for non-contiguous states.)
• Additional orders in a month must be calculated with the individual shipping and handling charges based on address. (Directors pay $4.50 or $6.50, shipping and handling on all supply orders.)
• Guest and Host Specials may not be ordered on a kit enhancement order.
• Gift Certificates may not be ordered on a kit enhancement order.
