Boy, does 2 months go by quickly!!!

I had a show Dec 1st (submitted Dec 8th) and my mid-January show cancelled. I just had a show Jan 26th which will probably close on Jan 31.

Will that be in time for me not to go inactive???

I read the policies and I am not sure I am understanding it properly...
After any two consecutive months of commissionable sales totaling less than $200, your status becomes “inactive.”
Since I had $900 submitted on Dec 8th, does that mean my 2 consecutive months would be Jan & Feb with sales less than $200? So I just need to make sure I have $200 submitted in Feb?

Or do I only have 2 months to get another $200 in sales...ex: Show submitted Dec 8 so I need another $200 by Feb 8th???

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

You are fine! You would have til the end of Feb to submit $200. If you didn't submit $200 in January, you would get a reminder from PC telling you to submit $200 by the end of Feb. to maintain your active status.

Excellent! Thanks - I got nervous for a minute thinking I had to have $200 by Feb 1 or Feb 8. And I didn't want to have to worry about this host running late!

Thanks again!
