the fine print on the Best Buy Cards and recruiting flyer says that they will ship mid-April. I just dont think its fair that we have to wait for our bonus, but the new recruits get their knives as soon as they're ordered!! But anyways, who says life is fair... :grumpy:

I was hoping to pick up my ER seasons and possbily a new DVD player for our bedroom. Ours is quite old and it shows!!

Oh well, guess I'll have to be patient... :o
 
You're right, what happened to "instant gratification"? LOL

I'd be impatient too!
 
I think that the new consultant has to qualify 1st anyway. If they sign in Feb. they are allowing the entire month of March for their 1st 30 days. Then they will process.
 
I read that too, which bums me out cuz I want to get my Ipod in time for my cruise. Oh well.
 
Thanks for pointing that out. I don't know if many realized that. I can see HO's reason for doing it just to make sure we are not signing up people who have no interest in the business to qualify and send us a reward for nothing, but I would be bummed to having to wait. Oh well, when it comes the excitement of shopping with it will still be there!
 
Hmm - that is good to know. I would have assumed that they would have shipped as earned, too, since a lot of our stuff is sent that way. Oh, well, I guess I'll be waiting for at least 2 in April! (Jan. recruit is booking up like crazy and Feb. recruit signs this week - woohoo!) :)

Yep Deb, I wanted to get my Ipod before we went to London!:cry: :cry: And I already have $150 with 2 qualified recruits ($50 Leadership Bonus for 1st one) and I should have another $100 in a week or so!

I guess HO is probably doing that to keep it simple for themselves. But I too like instant gratification!!:) :)
