Should I Choose Conference Cash for My 2007 Incentive Award?

[MissChef]

Hi all,
I earned level 1 and received an e-mail asking me to pick what I want. I always get the gift certificate. But I'm tempted this year to get the conference cash! Part of the reason, to be quite honest, is that it is an extra $50.00! But the other reason is because it would help me at conference! But here is my dilema.... I'm not sure I will be able to attend. Every year I don't know for sure until about April...ish! My hubby's work often requires him to be out of town, and if he is I have trouble finding propper, acceptable care for my kids!..... now how would that work, if I pick it and am not able to go.

The other thing is this... if I don't use it all there in Chicago, can I really use it back at home? Is it a visa/debit type card?

Does anyone know these answers???? I need to make a decision and I am stumped and need some guidance and I thought I'd start with my questions here, considering someone might have a simular situation, or just knows (Ann? )
TIA

I was told it's a prepaid visa type card. You can use it however you want, you just don't get it until you pick it up at conference. I think they also have the option to change out if you cannot go to conference, not for sure on that one though

Hey Cathy!

If you find out that you can't make conference - PC will send you the $250 Gift Card, in August I believe. And yes - it is a debit card, so if you don't use it all at Conference, you can use it for whatever you want when you get home. I saved most of mine from last year, and used it for Family Vacation spending money in September!

I was going to say what Becky said, but she beat me to it!

Cool! Right on ! Thanks ladies for being so quick, I think I'm going to go on line and pick the conference cash!
So as long as I let them know, they will change my award... that was my main concern, I worked to earn it, darn it and I want it!:sing: LOL!

Umm when were we supposed to have gotten that email to confirm what choice we wanted? I emailed HO but no response??

 

[MissChef]

I got an email that asked what I wanted basically... I had originally signed up to try to earn level 2, well I didn't make it, so it said, if I hadn't picked a choice yet to do so, and I haven't done so because I've been trying to decide for over a week now!

Was this a recent email?
I recall back before or around confrence when I was "on track" for earning it, they asked which I would prefere I think? But since years end and actually qualifying for it I have yet to see a confirmation email?

I thought that I got that email as well but I cannot find it now. I just went to CC and to the incentive and there was a button I could click on to choose my Level 1 award. It was easy... so I didn't stress about the mia email ... hope there wasn't other info in there that I needed!

 

[heat123]

I tried but didn't find anything about being able to choose my options??

 

[heat123]

Never mind... I went back and was able to find the option to choose button! Thanks for that info!

The visa gift card was awesome last year. I paid for conference hotel, some Merrill, a couple meals; plus had a little left to spend on vacation in Branson:thumbup:
