Does anyone know if I can use a gift certificate to order samples? I got one from a friend who didn't realize that I could not use it to help me with staying active and now don't know what excatly to do with it as I really have almost everything in the catalog. Thanks for your thoughts and ideas!

If the Sample Product Order Form is correct, then I'd say no. It says:
The fall/winter product packages can be ordered through (P3) using your Pampered Chef Debit Card, the Pampered Chef Credit Card, or Pampered Chef Dollars.

I don't see any mention of Gift Certificates anywhere. Sorry. Someone else may be able to tell you otherwise, but I'm just looking at the order form.
 
I thought we could order samples now. do we have to wait til August 1st? The numbers won't work when I try to order. Maybe that's why?

To answer my own question, I notice Aug 2nd is date at top of sample order form. :)

Was just going to say that- August 2nd - Sept 30th- per the form. :D

Sorry, gift certificates can only be used online at PC.com. Here's a thought: the next time someone gives you an order that she want's direct shipped do it online and use the gift certificate to pay for it. That order would not be commissionable though since commission was already paid when the person ordered it. Another option would be to order something for yourself or as a gift with the GC.

Too bad your friend didn't just place an order with you instead of buying a GS.
