I’m sorry if this is annoying but I’ve decided to try for a Birkin/Kelly from the store. I’ve always wanted a Birkin since watching The Royal Tenenbaums in the theater as teenager. Do online purchases count toward your ratio spend? Does it reset every year? I purchased about $4500 altogether between last year and so far this year. Earlier this year I went in store and purchased a 90 cm scarf but didn’t get the SA’s card. That was about $500. Yesterday, I went to the store to look at the Tulipomanie scarf and the new multi color double tour apple watch band. I ended up getting those 2, a pair of the frayed Oran and a small silver ring. I ended up dropping about $2600 with the SA. Bringing me to around $7,500 total. I just realized how much I spent and now I think I’m going to attempt the Hermes Game, lol. The SA gave me his card and told me to text him my wishlist and to just keep texting him, lol. I know he was just being kind. But now, I’m thinking I might have a chance? But wondering if my purchase habits would even get me an offer. I imagine that, going forward, I’ll consistently buy silk several times a year and a new watchband or two. There will probably be some one offs here and there from other departments but not often and probably not every year. And I won’t buy for the sake of increasing my spend ratio.
If it resets every year, i won’t even bother with the game and mostly buy online.

It doesn’t reset every year. Online purchases do not count. Only purchases made at the specific store count when the SM looks to approve a bag offer and only purchases made through a specific SA (at that store) count for when the SA is determining which client to recommend to the SM. Online purchases can be counted against you (wasted sales that could have helped the store/SA). Pick one shopping method, one store, one SA and stick to it. Good luck.
Ahhh, got it. So basically, my spend is at $2,600. One more question, when I shop in store and the store doesn’t have the item but the SA sees it in their system and orders it through their system, does it count as their sale? Or online? The reason why I shop online more is because when it comes to silks, the website usually has more colorways available.
Yes, if you have an online order sent to a store it can count.
You sound very reasonable and sane
Buying the things you really like and want. Just keep doing that, keep in touch with your SA, buy from that store through that SA. You never know what can happen. I wasn't a big spender at all when I got my first Birkin or even my first SO. Different market at that time.... but not that different.Thank you. I’ll buy as much from the store with this SA instead of from the website, and will just forget about the game. Whatever happens, happens.Yes, if you have an online order sent to a store it can count.

Can I just say thanks for the incredible patience for some of our most OG members (at least that I know of) like @QuelleFromage @880 @acrowcounted (I know I'm missing some!) and of course the mods who patiently answer every single newbie question on these forums, which, let's be honest, can be repetitive, without snark or condescension?Yes, if you have an online order sent to a store it can count.

Hello everyone.
I have a questions that I would love to ask you all if this has ever happened to you all. I have been wanting to buy the Kelly. I love the Hermes Kelly ever since I was a teenage girl, reading on the magazines.But I had never asked my local store even tough I have purchased allot. I was in Paris last year I did try and get one and no success but got offered the herbag and picotin and I bought the picotin. Which by the way I love .
But I went to the store here in my town to buy a gift for a few of my friends that are turning 40. I hadn’t made an appointment and I just was attended by a new Sales assistant. However she was so lovely while I was chatting I told her I visited the store in Paris she told me it’s her dream to visit. I told her what I got she asked me show some photos which I did. I bought my husband a small present for our anniversary coming up. While we were chatting she told me what does your dream bag look like or what is your wish list. I told her and she kept writing on the iPad. That was the first time that this happened to me. Not even my sales assistant had done that for me. Has this ever happened to any of you? Do you think that maybe I could be offered a bag soon or is just me dreaming lol. Would know to know what you all think. Thank you so much.

Where are you based .Here in uk we have something called the wishlist system whereby they ask what quota bag you are interested in ,then you get email from the main office when it’s available .you have to renew the wishlist every year if you have not received your bag .The spend as such does not count like the US .
Thank you I am based in Vancouver Canada. Would be a dream come true to be offered one before the end of the year.
What do you do when you find an item you really want online, and either you SA doesn’t respond or they have it out of stock?
