I have a friend who did a catalog show for October. Without even being asked she said I'm keeping all the info so I can keep taking orders for November.

Wouldn't she get the past host 10% discount? P3 has that part greyed out when I go to start her 2nd show.
 
P3 will update her contact automatically. However, as the host of the 2nd show, the 10% discount doesn't apply. Her host discount with the party will be higher. The only way the 10% would apply is if she was a guest on her own party.

I thought it was in addition to the host discount.
Thanks Crystal!
 
If she is wanting some of the Guest Special items (20% off Simple Additions), she benefits more by using her Host Discount than if she using just her PHD on top of the 20% Simple Additions discount.
