I can't check at the moment. What is it that we can order a month ahead? Is it just the guest special? What I our cost on that?
 
We can get it for the sale price minus 20%. If it's a "free with purchase" special, you have to meet the sales minimum (on a personal order) to get it free. Unless there are a lot of things you need, it will usually end up cheaper to just buy the special item on a personal order, or on supply if it's something you can get that way.

Will that apply to the May HWC guest specials??

The May guest specials should be available in April and May as a PERSONAL order (non-commissionable). You get your consultant discount on that which is 20% or 22% if you have hit $15000 in sales.

Thanks! I did not have a good March so I could earn these for free, so at least I can get them slightly discounted as a personal order!
 
AND, if you are a "Team Leader" as of April 1st in the new program, your personal order discount jumps up to 30%!!! Can I get an AMEN BROTHER!!!!!
 
How about an AMEN SISTER?
 
That works too!!! Guess I shouldn't have been "non pc" with my gender comment!! :D
 
What about the HWC Host specials? I would have had the March show incentive if my kid had not been sick all weekend. :(
 
Host specials aren't available ahead of time. And this year, the HWC host items are also available to guests, just not at the 60% discount. HO will probably make HWC items available as a sample (50% off) to us. If they don't you'll be able to buy them next month on a personal order.
