I love my Sept bag, I bought the Thirty-One version of that bag about a year ago and have been taking it to shows...until I earned this one! It's great for toting your products in (especially the bowls and turn arounds) and I use it at the grocery store for groceries, kids sports stuff, beach bag, picnic extras like blankets, books, video games, I leave it in my car and when all the clutter is too much (from being a mom taxi) I only have to fill up my bag once and cart it to the garage, house or trash. I really love that bag., not thrilled with the Aug. bag, it's kind of flimsy. Cute though, it's a keeper;)

I had a thirty-one bag just like the one we earned in August, a consultant friend let me sell it at her booth so I could make my money back :p

I did see a thirty-one consultant at the event I'm doing this weekend, the September bag is a dead knock off of their bag but ours was FREE!!
 
The bag is alot like Thirty one but the quality of the material is different. 31s bag is thicker and slightly larger, but the PC bag is no less cute or practical ;)
 
I just got my September bag ... not really sure what to do with it. Wish I had joined in August so I could get that one ...
 
My bags just arrived. Love the pockets in the bonus bag. I immediately switched my stuff over so I can start using it as my purse. Yes, I carry a really big purse. Love the internal and external pockets.

The duffle bag is a very convenient size. Plus, it's so very pretty.
 
What are the dimensions of the duffel? My will be on the way soon... closing my second show tomorrow! Hoping to use it as a school bag, not sure if it will be too big though.

It's huge! Bigger than the utility tote from September.
 
I'm in the market for a new gym bag, now I wish one of them would work better - the August one isn't bad but it's a little too big.
 
I just got mine in the mail today and I love it!! It's huge!! This is the very first thing I earned and it's beautiful!!

Woo hoo! You picked a great thing to earn for your first time out, I'd say!

My 2nd show has a status of picking...so my duffel bag shouldn't be far behind, right? Right? It ships as earned?
I'm DYING here, I want it!!! I need to go find the post about finding the promo stealth shipments....
 
My duffel didn't arrive today (should be tomorrow) but my pretty in pleats bag did! I plan to use the duffel this weekend but I wanted that purse NOW! Woo Hoo!
 
Oh I can't wait!!! My second show will go in this weekend! :D I'm so excited for the pretty in pleats one!!
 
I think it's wierd that they put them in separate boxes. You'd think it would have been cheaper to put them together.
 
I love them both. I am curious as to why they shipped them separately. I know you could earn the duffel without the Pretty in Pleats. But, if you earned the Pretty in Pleats you had to have earned the duffel.

We'll never know but it's either that then they won't accidently send the bonus bag to someone who didn't earn it or (more likely) that if they put them in one box the weight would put it over and they'd have to send it regular FedEx (gasp).
 
Mine comes regular FedEx, but your supposition makes sense.

Well, that's just not fair! What makes you so special? :p
 
They probably already have them all pre-boxed just waiting to be shipped out. Show 1 in, just waiting for payment on my 2nd show!
 
I am submitting my second show tonight!! I can't wait to get the 2 final bags as well!! Love free stuff!! Especially cute free stuff!
 
Mine came usps. Is there a place they post the incentives with a tracking number?

No...but with FedEx, you can take a reference number and find shipments.
It is possible to look up tracking using a reference number instead of tracking number.

For example, consultant #123456 kitchen show 62 has this reference number
123456K006201

Better explanation is here: http://www.chefsuccess.com/f12/how-track-fedex-15329/

If the duffel is shipping USPS, I don't know how to look it up.
 
Well I'm back to possibly not earning the bag. My friend rescheduled her show twice, and it's now set for November 3rd. And I had booked a show at last Saturday's Fall Fest for this coming Sunday, and they emailed me yesterday asking to reschedule for the 6th.I still have my show for the 29th, though.
 
thank you so much Shell Beach, I didn't know that about the reference number!!

Hopefully you'll have a successful show. And maybe there will be a guest with a large order who could be talked into showing some friends a catalog to bump her to a show amount so she can get the host special. Work the specials online, too, maybe like a mystery host thing. Get a couple people to round up some orders and then divide the host benefits or something. Good luck! I hope something will work out for you. :)
 
I've never got this 'back door' tracking to work thru FedEx. My reference # should be (consultant #)G0042 - do I then have to put an '01' after this? I've tried it both ways and it always says not found.
 
I have submitted and closed two shows this month, but haven't heard that I've earned the bag yet :(

As long as they were dated as October shows, you should be fine. It will get shipped automatically. You don't receive a confirmation notice.

If it goes USPS then you won't get the reference number to show up.

Yes, you have to put the '01' on the end. Mine is showing in the product adjustment list, but not in FedEx. Either it hasn't shipped, or is going USPS and not FedEx.

You can test if you're doing it right if you use the reference number method to get tracking on one of your shipped shows...hmm, when I get my show order I am going to see if it has the PC account number on it.

Here's hoping everyone can get that 2nd show in!!!:thumbup:

True. Is that correct though, that it's just the number they show on cc, you don't have to add a number?
