I am so angry at myself right now! I just put in my kit enhancement order and I meant to pay with my PC dollars but I forgot and just used my pc debit card!!! That's $230 I wasn't planning on spending!!!!!:mad::blushing::mad::cry:
 
Oooo, bummer. Can you call them in the morning?
 
Oh gosh, I would be very upset. I would at least try to call.
 
I hope they will help you when you call them in the morning.
 
Good luck trying, they usually don't change things after they've been placed. But you never know.
 
Maybe they'll let you cancel that order and place a new one.
 
:(How did you get to do that? I have been trying to send my Kit Enhancement order all day Saturday and all day Sunday as NOV. is my Kit enhancement month and I get the message that I am not eligible.

I'm totally bummed! :( HO said they can't change an order once it is placed. I just spent my Christmas money. :(
 
You can do this: When it arrives, don't even open the box. Call HO and tell them that you changed your mind and you want to return it. HO will send a call-tag for it and FedEx will pick it up. Once your account has been credited place the order again - this time pay with your PC$.

It's a PITA to do it this way - but the end result will be what you want.
 
Linda, you are so helpful, it is nice to have people on here to help.
 
There is a very small window of time where you can cancel an order. Doing it this way will take longer, but in the end it is worth it. You might not get your s/h returned to you though.

On second thought - can you place more than one KE order? Doing it this way might mess you up with placing another order....you might need to double check on that.
 
call them and see if you can cancel before they ship.... it will save shipping and they might do it
 
Only one KE order is allowed... I messed up with that, put in my "first" at the beginning of Sept becuase I needed stuff for a show. Because I hadn't finished my 90 days yet I wanted to wait until I knew for sure how many PC$ I'd get (wasn't sure if I'd hit $5k)before doing my "second" order, which I then wasn't allowed to submit.

I don't remember reading anywhere that you can only do one, although I know there is a $ limit... I was pretty disappointed, I had a bunch of stuff on my list to order, so I'm trying to wait patiently until April... I was counting on some of it for shows, too...
