Can't find this anywhere: I have a consultant that earned 1/2 off Sizzle but can't go now. Does she just loose that money?

Thanks!

I believe so, yes. I know that was the case when they had National Conference and if you earned it. To make matters worse, I think it will still show up on her 1099 as "earned". I could be wrong about that, but I know it was discussed before.And no, she can't transfer the money/gift to someone else.
 
I don't think it will show up on the 1099 - it's not something that she ever accepted. That is my understanding from previous years.
