My SA mentioned to me that corporate is saying that the HP this year will come with a prespend qualification. I obviously cannot confirm personally, but this is what I was told.
What does this mean? That you have a history of spending or that you must meet a certain threshold of spending to qualify? And like other people have said, I find these luxury games really off-putting.

It means that you have to meet a specific prespend threshold. Corporate is trying to spin this as a way to deter resellers, but I think we all know better than that.
 
What is a pre-spend qualification?
My lovely gentleman SA from a boutique asked if I was a precious customer and in the system. I told him that I never purchased a van cleef item but I’m beginning my collection.
He sent me invoice for $1200 to secure the holiday pendant. He said I needed to pay one-third if the price in July or I’d likely not get one in October.
 
My SA told me similar last year when we talked about the HP. He said the HP will only be offered to existing clients and not new people who just call and want to buy one. My SA said told me the original intent of the HP (I posted it earlier), and it was crazy last year with new buyers demanding a HP. Hence, VCA wanted to reel this back in.

Obviously, for any pendants that do not get purchased, they will be "released" to anyone.

This makes sense to me. :yes:

By the way, going off topic for a second if I may...

I love love love the color combo of your Birkin.
Every time I see a post from you, my eye goes right to your avatar! :nuts::heart:
My eye stops to take a long pause just to stare at your stunning bag!

Thank you so much! You are so sweet. :hugs:

I wasn't sure about the colour combo when I ordered but.. yolo? I actually love the way it turned out!!! :laugh: <3

I believe Hong Kong did this last year. The store managers selected who would be offered the pendants and then each pendant was allocated to customers, no picking.
 
It varies in different parts of the world but traditionally though, for hot items they get offered first to existing (preferred) customers and if more stocks came or less appetite from known customers, then they get offered to new/walk-ins. That’s what my SA previously said, not sure if that “rule” still applies.

I am an existing client but still didnt get the holiday pendant last year so my store already does look at the amount of prespend it seems.
They typically have a list and the second batch is offered to those in the list but it seems there wasn’t even anything sent after the first batch which were allocated to the VIPs and high spenders. I’m in Toronto.
I wonder how different it would be this year.
 
I hope there are earrings this year. I would love holiday earrings. I have purchased 2 past pendants but they were gifts. I am not a pendant person, so easy pass if it is just a pendant. Also hoping they don’t repeat wg guilloche for earrings as I am not a fan. I will await for launch details before I bug my SA.
