Question About Conference Club

[twinmomjen]

I just discovered the Conference Club plan on Consultants' Corner. (For those not familiar with it, it's a plan where PC deducts a certain monthly amount from your commission to help you pay for next year's conference.)

My question is: there is an option to deduct a small amount which just pays your registration costs; or another option which includes "guest registration and special event fees." What is guest registration and what kinds of special events are there? Is this the best option to choose? It is over 3X more monthly than the "regular" registration!

Advice needed, please. Thanks!

I have been wondering this as well. I want to know what the spouse events are, etc. Next summer will be my first conference and I want to figure out if I should bring DH. Poor guy already is up to his eyeballs with me yapping about this all day and night...I don't know if he can take several DAYS of PC! LOL

The spouses and guests had a separate HO tour and there was also a golf outing. Not sure what else. My DH has never gone.

I was told that you can elect to have more taken out, so you have some in reserve for hotel rooms, incedentals, ect. If you have more saved than required for registration, ect it will be returned to you.

For National you can have up to $500 deducted - you choose how much each month. It comes out of your month end commission check. If you don't earn enough to cover the amouont, none is taken out. For example, if you only earn $45 and your chosen amount is $50, nothing will be taken. Anything you don't use will be refunded to you after conference. If you don't go, the whole amount will be refunded - unless you completely register. For leadership, I believe you can only have $150.

Actually, as soon as you register for conference (your next commission check) the overpayments are given back to you. If you register in May and you chose to have the full $500 take out then only registered for yourself during the registration process them you are refunded all of the extra $. It will not continue to hold it like a savings account. Rest assured that you will receive any overage you have paid before conference begins so long as you register early.

Thanks for the responses! Still not sure what I'm going to do but I am excited about the Conference Club as I am so bad at saving up for things like this.
