I am going to whine here!!

I am 96 points away from earning the Grill Pan!!! :cry:

I earned the 12 qt. stockpot and now I want the GRILL PAN!!! :cry:

I had two hosts decide against half-price cookware and that messed it all up.

:cry:

I just needed to say it.

:cry:
 
Oh, that just stinks! When we are so close like that I wish they'd let us buy a few points.

Maybe you can make some phone calls to people who have bought cookware from you and offer a discount on extra pieces. Call everyone who already bought the Grill Pan or one of the Griddles and offer them a discount on the Grill Press. Good Luck!

Ohhh, I never thought of using the press with the griddle!

I think I will call this one guest who at my first show ever (in June) bought $600 worth of cookware at full price!!
 
I am only 2 points away from 900 pts and I want the grill pan, but do I want to spend $38 and get ANOTHER small skillet. I already have all 3 plus one on hand. I have a show tomorrow night so hopefully someone will buy at least one of the small skillets. We are doing the brownie skillet and the pork noodle skillet.

OH! I am in the same boat as you. My host had some unexpected med. bills and couldn't get 2 stainless sets for 1/2 price. I am hoping for my next host who is closing on Thurs. to decide if she wants the stainless or exec. I really want a grill pan too but if I can swing it I will be getting the SS 12" pan. Here's to crossin' the fingers!
 
I wish we could transfer points b/c I would gladly give yall my left over ones. I had just bought the 5 and 7 piece set earlier this year, so, I just needed some add on pieces.
 
Okay so my host didn't get the pans after all too! UGH! Husbands! That is my theory! They are talking the wives out of it! I guess it is another 8" for me :(
 
I hear you - I'm 550 points away from the 12-in Stainless covered skillet, and I'm $300 away from the $3000 level of SAT. I'm hoping and praying that my last catalog show host (closing by Fri) will order some cookware, or I'm toast!!
 
Whew!

I had 840 points and had 100 more points on a show - and could not get the host to close that show. Tonight - she finally closed it! So I can get my Double Burner Griddle. It was all I had left to still get in the Executive Collection, and as soon as it shows up on my Tracker - I am ordering it! Yea! I will be able to make pancakes for everyone at the same time!:thumbup:

I Got It!!!!!!!!! Woo Hooooooooooooooo!!!
 
Well, after redeeming my points for what I want, I end up with 345 left. The only other thing I could get is the grill press & I already have that. ugh. I hate to give up all those points!
 
I am at 1795! Too far away from getting a set and only 5 points away from getting the grill pan and the stir fry. :(

LOL - I had a feeling you would. You sounded so annoyed in your initial post I was thinking "Nothing is going to stop her...she wants it so bad..."
Congrats!

Get another one anyway - you can give it to a great host later or have 2 and use one elsewhere. You can use it with other pans...
