Question About Golden Treasures Incentive

[jenniferlynne]

Ok, I will be making level 1 of the Incentive this year when I turn in a show tonight. This will be the first time I earned this. I have decided to get the $250 gift certificate just because I am not positive at this time I will be able to go to conference (I hope to, just not sure if it will work out this far ahead of time). Anyway, it says there are 350 retailers to pick our gift certificates from, but only a few are shown. When I type in Wal-Mart or even Kroger it doesn't find either one of them. I just can't imagine that Wal-Mart isn't a choice. Anyone know? Also, can we split the $250 up between different gift certificates, or does it need to be just one place?

When I earned Level 1 a couple years ago, you could split it up however you'd like. I dont' know if Walmart is one of the choices. From what I remember, it seemed to be other types of retailers. They're all listed under that "Retailers and Merchants" list. I don't see Walmart there, so I don't think that's a choice. If none of the stores listed are local to you, choose ones where you can shop online.

CONGRATS!!!

Thanks for the Congrats Gillian!

Bummer about Walmart. I guess I will choose Target and maybe Home Depot or Bass Pro for the hubby. He told me to keep it all for myself, but a little treat along with the 2 other Home Depot gift cards I earned for recruiting will help keep him supportive

I think I may be earining level 1 for the first time. Can I use all of it to register for conference? How exactly does that work?

If you choose the Conference Cash option, you'll actually get an envelope of money at conference (at least, that's what the materials said). So you can pay off conference, but you won't have it in advance, like PC dollars. The information is in the Rules PDF on CC: https://www.pamperedchef.com/images/cc/us/pdf/gt_rules.pdf (check page 3).

So how much is conference registration? I have not been able to attend in the past, and I was thinking I will probably only be able to go if I reach the level 1, but I need to know how much I will have to pay at registration.

 

[chefann]

Early Bird is $175. I think regular price is about $50 more than that. And that is conference and included meals (all of day 2, breakfast on day 3) only. Hotel and other meals are extra. If you sign up for Conferene Club, it really helps make it easier (you'll not miss the $20 a month, and you'll automatically get the early bird price).

 

[jenniferlynne]

What happens if you sign up for the Conference Club and then you can't go. I'm assuming they will give you your back right?

 

[chefann]

Yes, they add it to a commission check.

I wasn't able to go in '04, because I had just had a baby (preemie - and needed to stay home w/ him!), I emailed HO, and on my next commission check, the entire amount was included!

Straight from the websiteOther Award Rules
• National Conference Cash: When you earn Level One and choose the cash award for expenses at National Conference 2007, you
must register for Conference, pay any applicable fees in full and attend Conference in order to receive the award. The award will be distributed on-site at a special Conference booth and may be used at the achiever’s discretion. If, for any reason, you are unable
to attend Conference, you will be sent the $250 gift certificate in August 2007 as your award.HTH
