Who is aiming for the "in the bag" rewards? What items are you working for? (I am trying for the Santouko knife...I've wanted that for a long time!!!) How close are you? Let's tell each-other our goals, then motivate to do it! (God, I sound like an excited little kid....I guess I am! LOL)
 
I'm excited about the promotion too! (Maybe it's our name?:p)

I just got my knife bag and the envelopes I earned for $1000 sales in August. They are AWESOME!! The knife bag is so professional looking and the envelopes are roomier than I imagined (even though the pic has a deep covered baker in the small one so I shoulda known). I just ordered the SA tote. I have the old blue one and only use it for fairs. This new one holds more of our new pieces so it'll be more useful! (I would sell my old one for $20 plus shipping to you if anyone wants it.)

After this I want to get another set of envelopes, then the carry all tote and TTA tote (I have these already but I thought they'd be great incentives for new consultants that didn't have the chance to earn them). Then if I still have points by the end of September I'll get product with the rest. I have ALL the products and duplicates of many so I don't need them but they make great gifts and incentives. We can only get one of each bag so that's why I'm even going there.

What fun!
 
Do we have to order the envelopes or do they automatically ship once we've hit $1000?

I think it's safe to say it's an auto ship just like any other incentive HO offers.

I can't believe my lame butt isn't even earning the envelopes in August. I suck! But I will have enough for the knife case in August. In September, I hope to earn enough for the knife case and either the SA tote or the Carry-All Tote -- I haven't decided yet.
 
If we earned the envelopes free, can we still cash in our points for a set?

I am going for the Rolling cart and the carry all tote. I am looking forward to getting my envelopes for free! They should be coming soon!

They have not said we can't "buy" them with our points - they just said we'd get a bonus set of envelopes for submitting $1000 in August. I know for other promotions we are allowed to earn and buy them so I don't see why not. I will try when I get enough points - hopefully before the end of the month I'm $62 from the next 200 points and I have an open house and 2 catalog shows still so I hope to get 400 more points by the end of the month.
 
I wanted the Rolling Case until I saw people talking about how heavy it is and what a pain it can be on gravel drive ways and stairs. So, I am shooting for the Consultant Tote and Carry All Bag. And if I have extra points I will get the envelopes. I have 200 pts already and I have 3 catalog shows and 1 cooking show for this month double points. Septembetr is not looking too good - I have one maybe on a cooking show. There are not any of the products that I do not have that I want on the list.

See now I am second guessing the rolling cart myself. I use a rolling cart from staples right now. Maybe I should just keep that one and go for the other totes. NOW I DON'T KNOW! :cry: LOL! :D
 
I have most of the others so I really only want the knife carrying case. I do think that the rolling case is heavy & I don't utilize all the pockets. I love the TTA bag but never even thought about using it for the Trifle Bowl.

Alright so...I am am bummed about my knife bag...I only tried one knife in it so far, but I couldn't get it to snap. I had it in the right spot too. I tried for 5 min to get the stinking thing to snap and I couldn't do it...anyone else having trouble?! I want to use this!!!!!
 
I am a little over $225 from the $1000 mark in August, so I WILL be earning the envelopes, and I am looking forward to getting the TTA and knife case this month. I think I may get the SA tote or the carry-all tote in September.
 
Yesterday, Fex Ex made a delivery, and I was so excited- I was expecting my padded envelopes and consultant tote, the weight of the box was right, and I opened it, and ..... It was 2 glitter napkins and the dreaded tassels- HUH???? I called HO, and they said I ordered them on the 18th? HUH???? I redeemed my points on the 18th for the consultant tote- She said, uh-oh, I better check on this, and call you back- It turns out, napkins/tassels are right next to the consultant tote on the shelf. She told me to keep the napkins/tassels as a gift from HO- Gee, thanks- too bad it was not the DCB !!! She got a good laugh out of that.

Hey, you can't ever have too many of those tassles.....right?:confused:

That is too funny - too bad it couldn't have been something you would actually use!
 
already got the knife tote - toooo professional looking! i can't wait to lock and load for my next show! I'll also earn the envelopes when i turn in my show 2nite.

next on the list is the tta and more. i made the trifle a lot so it will be nice to have a tote for both that and the tta.

i really do not know what i will do with september points...maybe work on my dots collection?
 
Totally going for it!! :)

I made myself a dream page for this incentive and here's what I have on it (although the page is prettied up with the pics of the items I want and a tracking chart, something like the Dream Escapes chart)....

1) 2 envelope bags - attend conference and $1500 in comm sales Aug 1-31 ---- I attended conference AND I'm at $1252 in comm sales, so I will hit the $1500 with my Open House next Thursday!! :D

2) I'm aiming to get these in this order....knife case, large dots round bowl, tool turn about tote, large round stone with handles and the medium square plates. Right now, I have earned the knive case (WOO HOO) and need to have approximately $7,750 in sales between now and the end of September. With my show average, that's about 16 shows, which I know I will do!!! :D

Good luck to all who want to earn these! I think that's a really fun incentive. I like how they included other items as well, beside the the bags!! PC impresses me once again! :)

I don't have the PC rolling tote, for the reason Jennifer mentioned. I do have one that I got for 15 bucks and it's great. So, I would suggest that if the one you have works for you, then aim to earn something else you really want! :)

I called HO about the TTA and More Tote to see if it was different than the current TTA Tote and she said it is exactly the same. They changed the name to point out that it can be used for more than just the TTA. Since that flyer came out showing the trifle bowl under the TTA in the bag I have tried it and it works great - except that a few tools in the TTA stuck out the top of the bag.

Just didn't want anyone to think it was a new bag.

Can you post your chart? I would love to see it and use it. I love being able to actually see how close I am to something and how far I have come.

Hmmmm....I will try. I would need to scan it and not sure if my scanner at home works. I'll see what I can do! :)

Or, I can always just take a picture of it....that would be easier!
 
I have the rolling tote and fully agree with the comments thus far. It's too heavy and the wheels are almost too small to roll well in gravel. Mine is currently in my bedroom stocked with larger items I rarely use- like a holding case. I went back to the consultant tote- and just stuck to things I needed in it. :) :thumbdown::thumbdown:
 
I would like the carry all tote.
 
Do outlet orders count towards our points?
