Before I qualified I noticed that there were occasional glitches in the PWS. Occasionally it would allow individual orders. Two slipped through. I did get paid commission on them. They did not count toward the $1250 ... a glitch is a glitch. At least I was paid commission.

Hmm. Well that's good to know. ;)

UPDATE!
So I just contacted HO and told the guy the whole thing!

He said once I create my personal website, for ONE DAY only it is open to individual orders and my friend was able to place an order on THAT day! Then he said after that first day is over you have to QUALIFY before people can order on there again. He did say it is a glitch (like many of you said earlier) that has happened before.
Interesting huh?
At least I will get commission on it. ;)
He was gonna check and see if that order WILL go toward my $1250 and I am on hold right now as he checks on that.........................
(This "on hold" music I am listening to kinda sucks! ;) Lol!)

Ok, he told me they will count that $60 toward my $1250 (YAY! :D) because it was a glitch. And he said the reason they have that info on the CC under the online ordering policies is because you aren't supposed to receive any orders on you PWS until you qualify (once again, something many of you said earlier) therefore...an online order wouldn't go toward your $1250.
I can see how all of this was confusing to all of you but I'm just glad this has been taken care of!!!
So rest easy everyone. ;) All is good!!
 
Thanks for the update. Plus I'm glad it's counting towards that magic number! This is a cool glitch if you ask me. :D

Wow. This has turned into a great thread! ;)

Ok, so the fact still remains that I GOT an order on my website, it sent me an email giving me the details and everything. When I looked at my Shipment Status in my CC, it said the items have been "picked." Ok, so if orders on my website don't matter because I haven't qualified yet...umm...what happens to this order? Do I get commission on it? Someone mentioned how I may need to add it to a show in my P3. How do I do that?

Some of the things you guys said about me is not true. :( I didn't post an "older copy" of the consultant policy guidelines. It was copied straight from my CC and here's how to find it!
Go to "Promoting your Business" and then click on "Online Order Policies." There it is!! Exactly what I posted.

I gotta go, but NooraK I will check your personal message when I get back.
Before I qualified, I had an individual order slip through on my website. I contacted HO and they researched it. It was, in fact, a mistake on their part. Because this order would have upped my hostess to about $5 short of the next level, I argued that they owed her something considering if she'd be $5 short of the next leve, she would have gone out and tried to get other orders. Anyway, my point being that I'd call HO and have them research what happened (if I'm reading your posts the right way). Then argue your point and see what happens. They ended up giving my host free products and a discount to make up for the web goof up.
