I think this is my first Guest Special that has been spend $X and get something for free. How does this work for the host?

I have always stressed to my hosts that they can partake in the (20% off) guest specials and apply their discount on top!

So if my host spends $60 she can get the item free? Or are certain items excluded from adding up to her $60? Example: If my Feb host buys cookware as one of the 60% off host specials - and that is it - and it is over $60 can she still get the sprinkles for free? Also, would she get the bamboo spreader?

Thanks!
 
The host needs to spend $60 out of pocket before getting the free item. It doesn't matter what it is spent on.
 
I don't even see an item number for the bamboo spreader so I think HO will just send those... could be wrong though.

As long as the host spends $60 in products (before tax and shipping) out of their pocket they get the free item too! Awesome isn't it??

Thanks! I didn't want to mention something that wasn't true!
 


Hi there! Thank you for your question about the current guest special. It's exciting that this is your first time experiencing this type of offer! As a consultant, I always stress the importance of taking advantage of the guest specials and applying the host discount on top. This means that if your host spends $60, she can indeed get the free item. There are no exclusions on certain items adding up to the $60, so if your February host only buys cookware that is part of the 60% off host specials, she can still get the free sprinkles. And yes, she would also get the bamboo spreader as part of the offer. I hope this helps clarify things for you and your host. Happy cooking!
