I've got a host who wants to sign! This will make 2 for me, I'm so excited I can barely sit still ... anyway ... The host wants to use a portion of her free products towards the kit credit. Does this mean she has to sign right away? Due to family vacations and schedules, she wants to sign in a couple of weeks. Just thought I'd check before we close her show.

Thanks in advance.

I think she has to do it at the time of the show. Ann or someone else will be able to tell you for sure.
 
No. You can submit her show and then let her sign later.
 
She can sign later but if she wants to use the host kit credit it has to be done on the show.
 
I did this before where someone used her kit credit as part of her show benefits. I was told by the HO they had up to 6 months to sign and use that kit credit (double check that with them, though). That particular host didn't end up signing, so she WAS able to then get $40 in more free products instead. The funny thing, that host ended up contacting me a year later and THEN signed up!:)

How fun!! Congratulations!!!
 
I've never heard of HO allowing someone to go back and get the $40 in free products when they didn't use their kit credit. I was told once it's gone it's gone.
 
Then what are the two kit credit numbers for on the show planning guide?

Do you mean the one for $20 kit credit and the one for $40 kit credit? That's what gets entered in P3, if that's what you're asking.

Hmmm. Unless something has changed. This was a couple years ago when that happened.
 
Ok, I understand now what your saying pamperedbecky. You enter the kit credit on their show & then they can use it later. I read it first as you didn't do anything on her show - sorry. :)
 
Keep in mind though, if they are hoping to get 50% back through the AUgust incentive they will only get 50% of what they pay. So, if they have the $ up front and plan to hit the ground running, it will be more advantageous for them to not get the kit credit.
