Question About Ordering New Supplies

[amya]

I just received my change-over box and I was suprised to see that our costs for catalogs and various paperwork have gone up. I know I shouldn't be really suprised about this, but I was.

Anyway, my question is about ordering. Why are we only able to order our supplies with PC dollars, a check or with our PC debit or credit card? My husband and I had saved some space on our Visa for me to get some new season supplies, but evidently I can't use just a regular Visa. I applied for the PC credit card but was not accepted. (Unfortunately, my husband and I don't have the best credit. This is something we are working on fixing.) I don't carry that high of a balance in my PC checking account and don't have a show scheduled until Feb. 18, so I won't have a commission check until after the first of March, which will be too late to order new catalogs because I have a couple of March shows scheduled before that check is deposited. (Sorry for the run-on sentence )

I guess I'm just frustrated and I don't really understand why we are limited as to how we can order our supplies. I see on the sample products order form, we can use "regular" Visa or MasterCard - so why not for supplies?

I never understood that either. I hate to say this, but can you get a cash advance from your credit card and deposit it into your PC account? I never do that myself because the credit card company will charge youa higher % for it. Only thing I can of.

Hi there,I completely understand your frustration with the change in costs for catalogs and paperwork. It can be frustrating when we have to adjust our budgets and plans due to unexpected changes.As for the limited options for ordering supplies, I believe it has to do with the company's policies and procedures. They may have specific agreements with certain payment methods for ordering supplies. I'm not sure why they don't accept regular Visa or MasterCard for supply orders, but it could be for accounting purposes or to streamline the ordering process.I know it can be difficult when you don't have the PC credit card or enough PC dollars to cover the cost of supplies. Have you tried reaching out to your upline or other consultants to see if they have any suggestions or can lend a hand? Maybe they can help you out with ordering supplies until you receive your commission check in March.I'm sorry you're facing these challenges, but I'm sure you'll be able to find a solution. Keep working on improving your credit and maybe in the future, you'll be able to get the PC credit card and take advantage of its benefits.Take care and best of luck with your upcoming shows!
