Me too. You can even save out airfare with the $900 amount. That's great.
 
It'd be nice if they'd officially announce the dates of conference though. I have the general time frame blocked on my calendar, but we're combining it with a trip to visit my mother-in-law this year and I'd like to buy my plane tickets before prices get outrageous for us Alaskans. October is usually my best month in sales, and I usually buy my ticket with the commission.
 
how much do you guys recommend saving? can we save for airfaire and hotel and spending money too, or just for the registration?
 
You can save for anything you want. I used to save for all of it, but I usually earn registration free and now I buy my tickets super early, so I mostly just save for the hotel - about $200-$250. Four ladies in one room for four nights.

Should know next month when we get our calendars!

I save around $350 (probably would have done more if they had opened it up sooner). Gives $200 for registration and $150 for hotel so all I have to do in July is get there (we take the bus) and eat.
 
so maybe $40 a month? When and how do we get the money out of the "conference club"

If you just save enough for reg, it will take it out of the acct when you sign up for conference. If you save more, I believe they give it to you direct deposit.

Yep - "Conference Club" is a payment option when you register. And even if you forget you have money in there, they automatically put it in your paycheck like the month before conference. :)

They usually reimburse you on your next paycheck!
