Update from Austin :
Wasn’t offered any bags and wasn’t really expecting to be offered anything. SA told me that inventory has been very slow in Jan and hoping Feb will be better.

Per SA’s request I was asked to share my updated wishlist and so I did. K25 was told is doable, just a matter of time. MK is a different story. Spend was mentioned in reference to this in addition to extremely low availability and high demand. Also politics amongst SAs seems to be a factor 🤷‍♀️

Wow, how exactly did they mention spend? Were you able to place a SO?

No mention of SO but I did say I am still very interested and would love the opportunity. SA said it would be possible and seemed sincere.

As far as the spend comment : it was very clear. SA said that a MK is so in demand that it’s based on many favors including prespend. I’m summerizing but the word spend was said in reference to a MK. I was actually very surprised at how up front and out there the conversation was.

Huh that’s really interesting; my SA has never mentioned the the word “spend” or anything remotely about prespend.

nothing earth shattering, but I just asked, hey we talked about wishlist before, what's your normal process and how do you like to handle that? they showed me my profile only, showed where the notes section was, where they would write it down. said in store or text is good, by text they will simply copy and paste into my notes section. in store, we could try on bags and really figure out best size, colors, etc. I said i'd come back in store to make a list.
