soHow Are You Spending Your $300 Conference Cash???

In summary, attendees of the upcoming conference in Chicago have $300 in Conference Cash to spend. Many are planning to use it for hotel and transportation expenses, as well as purchasing items from the vendor booths. Others are considering using it for shopping in Chicago or saving it for next year's conference. The Conference Cash is a Visa debit card and can be used at any location that accepts Visa. Some are disappointed that they did not earn the cash, but others are willing to sacrifice and take on the burden of spending it for them. Some are also using it for personal expenses, such as birthday presents. Overall, the option of Conference Cash is preferred over a traditional cash distribution at the conference.

I JUST NOW (!!!) remembered that I have $300 in Conference Cash waiting for me when I get to Chicago!
How I should spend it is my delimma! Should I pay for my hotel & train fare? For goodies from our ONLY vendor (grrrr) or for new paperwork and supplies???I don't really get into the surprise packs - so that won't be a big draw..OR should I just make some time to go shopping in Chicago???SOOO, those of you who earned it - how are you spending yours???
 
I am going to pay for my hotel room and probably at the vendors/food.

I didn't earn this from the past year, but I will be earning it next year. How does it work? Is it PC $ or like a gift card?
 
I'm so bummed that I didn't earn it. Crud.

It's a Visa debit card, so you can use it like a credit card anyplace.
 
Cool! I'm already over halfway to next year's, so I should earn that one. Will be too far away for the cruise though (most of the last 3 months won't be great b/c I'm having a baby in Oct).

Really? I thought it was just Cash???
 
I totally forgot that I earned this. Thanks for the reminder!!!!!!!!!! Don't know how I'm going to spend it though. Shopping sounds great, esp. because it was money I forgot was coming!

Nope. It was in something that came out a couple months ago that it would be a pre-paid Visa. Can you imagine how much cash they'd have to have at conference to distribute to all achievers? The Visa can at least be used any place that takes Visa - hotel, restaurants, vendor, supplies, etc.
 
I'll be using mine to pay for my hotel room, for any vendor purchases, and probably for a meal or two.

I forget, how do you earn this?? I think it was a Sell-A-Thon thing. Is this the only way to earn it?

It's part of the Trip Incentive - Level One is a GC to your choice of stores for $250, or Conference Cash for $300, Then A level 2 trip, and so on.....

I will sacrifice and take on the burden of your extra conference $ if you can't find a worthy, respectable way to spend it...

This is how they gave us our food allowance in San Francisco. It worked out great!

Definately paying for hotel and transportation with conference cash, and thanks to conference club, registration was paid for easily (and because I didn't write a check, it didn't hurt at all! LoL)

I really like the conference cash option. I'm trying this new budget thing out and now I won't need to plan on bringing a lot of extra money since the majors are already paid for. I usually plan for money to spend at the vendors but I'm so mad about Nancy's Artwork being let go, that I'm going to try not to spend a dime at Merrill this year just to make a statement. (Besides the fact that I think Merrill is way to over-priced and lacking in consultant based paperwork... they're more for advertising)

My two cents :)

Hotel room, food, drinks, PC Vendor Booth.....we'll just have to see how far it will go.

Yep, that's me... the sterotypical first child... always trying to please others!

I'll use mine for food and some shoppng. I can't say that I won't buy from Merrill, but I will look at their stuff with a hard scowl! (unless I see something that is priced fairly that I want)

I am buying my daughters birthday present with part of mine. She wants an American girl doll (the new one named Nicki). So I will do that with part and probably spend the rest on conference extras.

I'll probably pay for my hotel (which will be a big chunk!), then we'll see what else;)

I also earned the conference cash and will be using it at the vendors. Also, will use it for fall paperwork that they offer there if possible. (mini catalogs, recipe cards etc.)
Blind boxes if they have them this year. I use alot of the items in those boxes for donations to organizations and churches. ALthough I do have a list of discontinued items that some of my customers are looking for.
I will also use it for food expenses and if nothing else, souvenier shopping for the hubby and grandkids.
See you at Wave 3!
