I have let my account go inactive due to a huge move (Fl to IA). I am wondering how long I have to be inactive before I can just sign up as a new consultant to get the new kit. Is that even possible??

You have to be inactive for a whole year, then you can re-sign by purchasing a new kit.
 
so you can be inactive for up to a year and have to submit $200 to become active again?
 
Yes. Submit $200 in any one month and you'll reactivate. After 12 consecutive months of inactivity (including months in which you submitted less than $200), you will be dropped from PC's lists, and must purchase a new kit.
 
Just remember that once you go inactive you lose all caeer sales, raises, points, etc that you may have earned so it's defintiely not worth it!!

I am fairly new so I haven't lost much (no, recruits, etc.), but I am out of the loop now. What is a change over kit, and will I get one once I re-activate? I will just submit a $200 order, I don't want to wait a year. Also, I think my kit upgrade month (or whatever you call it) was last month!! Do I completely miss out on that? I probably just need to call the HO, but you guys are always so knowledgable. :)

Thanks!
Jessica
 
Jessica,

You'll get a changeover kit when you reactivate. It's a box with 25 catalogs and some samples of the new paperwork for Fall.

Bear in mind that after you reactivate, $6 for the changeover and $2 insurance for each month you were inactive will be deducted from your first month-end commission check.

If you missed Kit Enhancement Month, you missed it. There are no do-overs on KEM. But you'll have one in April with the rest of us. :)
 
Don't they have a waiver for situations like big moves?
 
Yes, there is. You can request a waiver for up to 3 months at a time. You can only use it once in a 12-month period. And moving more than 100 miles is an approved reason.
