Since I now have two people under me, there have been some questions that have popped up that I have NO time to look into myself. Just wondering if anyone can help. Things have changed so much since I signed up!

How long do they have to use another form of payment besides a PC debit card? Apparently the system wasn't working when both my recruits tried to sign up for the debit card. I couldn't remember if it was 30 or 90 days.

What is the deal with the free trial of the website?

They have 30 days to use their own CC - but I wouldn't recommend it. They really need to be getting a PC card and get set up for Direct Deposit!

They can get 90 days free trial of the website once they qualify. I've had a couple consultants who just went ahead and bought a 6 month website subscription as soon as they had their consultant # - and then the 90 days just gets tacked on to that.

I don't recommend using your own card either but both of them told me the system was down last week so they couldn't get the PC debit card to begin with.

Great, I'm glad to hear it's 90 days. They didn't have that when I first started.

One more question (I usually don't have questions like this but things have been really crazy around here and I know you all know the answers!). For the free PC$, I know they get $50 for every 4 shows submitted, $50 for every $1250 in sales and double in their first 30 days. What else do they get?
 
PC$ for recruits, but I don't have it in front of me right now to say what the amount is.
 
$150 PC dollars for recruiting someone in your first 30 days, once they qualify.
 
Plus if they signed under any recruiting promo, they can earn that (like the 2 pieces of stoneware with $1000 in first 30 days).There are also bonuses with the PC$ - extra when they hit $5k, etc.

Both of my recruits are in the stoneware promotion.
