I live close to DC, so not intrested in that...and I did Europe last year...I need warmth!!!!!!!!!!!!!dannyzmom said:Wow - DC is awesome!!!!! That is my goal!
Go to CC and look at the rules. You earn points for sales, recruits, and promoting.pamperedchef_OK_LA_MS said:I am new... haven't even received my kit yet... It should be here any day... I have a "rookie question." Level 2 is 56,000 points... How do you earn points? Through sales?? Thanks... I love this site.... It has answered so many questions I didn't even realize I had!!![]()
BethCooks4U said:You earn points through sales (1 point for every $1 in sales (DOUBLE in February this year) and recruiting. Last year we got 2000 for each new qualified consultant (new consultants also got the 2000 points when they qualified). We also got additional points when we promoted to the next director level. They haven't announced anything about points changing yet but we will know for sure soon.

I've been on all of these vacations, and I've got to tell ya, they are all mediocre. The TPC event for D.C. is the National Zoo? Have you ever been to the National Zoo? I have been to zoos all over the world and have never been to a crappier zoo than the National Zoo in DC. The regular Level 3 trip is only 3 nights- that should be a Level 2 trip.
London: Level 3 is four nights. Do you realize how long it takes to get from the East Coast to London? Don't forget that you usually sleep away at least the first day adjusting to the time change. And they are throwing in $250 spending money which won't get you very far in London... The last time I visited London I took a 5 star trip and still vowed to never return.
Level 2: I've got to say, this is the best choice, but the cruise really only goes to Nassau, the other port is the Royal Carribean's private island. And what about those of us who earn TPC? Why don't they offer special treats on Level 2 for TPC earners?
I have no incentive to shoot for anything above the 52,000 points for Level 2. And absolutely no incentive for earning TPC, which is too bad because I'm nearly there already. Wouldn't it be cool to earn the trip by the end of February and then just coast along the rest of the year hanging out with the kids?
Paige Dixon said:but the TPC event at the stinky, CROWDED, back in the 1970's era (can't see anything very well) National Zoo? Who in the world was the idiot that thought that up as a special event?
Paige Dixon said:Maybe we could get them to offer shipboard credit to TPC earners at Level 2 the way they did at Level 3 last year. That would absolutely be an incentive to earn TPC! If I remember correctly, TPC earners received $500 in shipboard credit (which would get some AWESOME land excursions although I can't really see spending $500 in one day in Nassau unless you took a helicopter tour) and an ice cream event. Anyone else want Level 2? Help me let them know we want shipboard credit for earning TPC!!!

I laughed out loud when I read this line. Probably ten years ago, my husband and I were lucky enough to attend a special event at the National Zoo. It was a high ticket fundraiser (we got to go for FREE). It was at night and was wonderful. Fantastic food and the zoo is a different place after dark. It's an evening I'll always remember.![]()
Paige Dixon said:Don't get me wrong- I do appreciate the freebie trips, but I've become accustomed to the fabulous trips PC usually offers.
I also don't see any indication that there is any special event for TPCers at Level 2. The cruise will be fabulous, not quite as great as last year's Level 3 I'm sure, but I'll probably add some Florida beach time and maybe a trip to the Keys to round it out.
Also, don't get me wrong, I also love DC, but doesn't this seem like a Level 2 trip? I love the Smithsonian and could spend weeks there alone, but the TPC event at the stinky, CROWDED, back in the 1970's era (can't see anything very well) National Zoo? Who in the world was the idiot that thought that up as a special event?

dannyzmom said:Are you forgetting that the DC trip is for FOUR people, not two"? Definitely a level 3 incentive IMO
