I live in the mainland and have shopped with my SA for the past two years….however I visit the island at least every 3 months sometimes every month. We also purchased a home there last year and are renovating so she knows eventually I will be a local. My last 3 quotas I was able to spend 1:1-1.5:1. My last quota most recently was almost 2:1 spend. She said it is getting much more competitive and rules are changing aka spend $$$. I would say to go the preloved route. Also have not heard many good stories for non-locals at Ala Moana

Ala Moana is a difficult store, since they get less bags and majority of the locals. I tell locals they are better off going to Waikiki. If you have a decent spend profile, you normally are always approved for a QB.

I went to the Waikiki store and directly asked for a bag. The SA said I won't be able to get b/k/c as a new customer. I asked for a picotin 18 and mini evelyn. I was very specific about the colours I wanted/didn't want. I got a call the next day and said a mini evelyn was available. I went to the store and bought it. The SA gently asked if I wanted to look at a pair of shoes. I said sure haha. I guess that's my "post-spend" for the mini evelyn.

I have spent about 7k since my last (1st) QB. I will be visiting in about 3 weeks and was wondering how much more I would be required to spend if I want another QB upon this visit. I want either b or k in size 25 and with colors, I'm open to all.

Hawaii has gotten very competitive. I think the minimum to have a shot at a 25 would be another 7-10k. Even then, their supply is significantly lower than previous years and you could leave with nothing/ only a non qb.

Have you told your SA there that you will be visiting on day range x to y? If you're open to buying RTW/FJ it might be easier...your mileage may vary.

Assumed that it would be difficult.. I'm willing to spend 7-10k if I'm promised a QB but I know it might not happen at all. Thank you for your reply

I have not told my SA yet. She wanted me to remind her about my itinerary like a week ago or so. I'm open to RTW/FJ.. let's see what happens. Thank you for your reply!

I would let your SA know ASAP the days you will be there and schedule an appointment for one of the first days. Also in the message I would ask if they have so and so bracelet, earrings, necklace etc, so she knows you will be spending a certain amount.

At minimum you gotta double that amount of spend. Also depends on how recent your previous 7k spend was.. assume it’s within 2024 or within 1 year?
