I think I really have to stress it here that, for right now I'm really not aiming to get BKC the fastest possible. Because as of now, I still don't even know whether I want B or K, and I don't know my number 1 choice. I just thought to just faster start and build first and while along the way try to figure out which one I want and if I have better idea, which until now I still don't have, so I'm still thinking...
It's just that the comparisons have gotten me to know the differences between the outlets...
'i frankly don't believe there are such rules like 'only one item' etc. i've bought multiple items that i like, including non-quota bags. the bags don't count towards my quota spend, but i really love my (her)bag!! i've also bought countless things from the website directly'
Yes, this is a specific rule with Taka. Another TPFer in this forum has just private messaged me and she has told me she was also told the same thing by her SA. Do you know for whom the profile is for to look at when applying approval for the bags? It is the SM.
The SM looks at the submission and approves the bag for the customer profile based on what he/she sees. The fact the SA told me this means this is a store requirement for Taka - which is why I have been emphasizing here that Taka has alot of rules and regulations, which are not so in other outlets.
I got two herbags on website last year and one via walk in this year to Liat after CNY (which I shared on TPF too), all these happened before I started my profile.
Cue: this means this is history that is already written in ink, I cannot go back in time to change this history.
I called the hotline before and they said 2 bags within a year, so I do not find there is anything wrong with my spending. All 3 herbags are different colours
I also bought a pair of sandals from the store (just when i started my profile) however, they didn't have my size. at that time because I was still starting, I thought it would be ok even if it is one size up, so since I ask many times no my correct size I took one size up, then I realized cannot, so I wanted to get another one? My SA say cannot get another one in the same profile.
But I ran into the exact sandals my size in MBS when i passed by there, so I just picked it up (thinking that it is different store, means different profile)
Unexpectedly, right the next day I dropped a visit to my SA. right the next day she warned me about this and told me NOT TO buy anymore of the same things ANYMORE. she said cannot buy same item more than 1, she says it does not look good on the profile.
This was also when she let it be known to be that she knows I got 2 herbags online before and another 1 in liat, and she also said that NOT to buy anymore herbags anymore.
My other friend in other outlet, she bought 3 the same bags from the website, her SA never even say anything. Hence I think this is a feature unique to taka, which I have already said, Taka is very strict as per what I find and that is why I think after I hit my first quota I'm moving to my friend's SA in another outlet, even though my SA is very good and all and I'll be very sad to leave her, but she doesn't control or make the rules you see, and in taka it is just like that.
Last thing, it is not on the SA, as per your suggestion for me to change SA. In fact I'm going to say that my SA gave me this warning absolutely and definitely from a good place. she could have not said anything and just look away but she was worried I might compromise my profile if she does not give me this specific warning and hence she warned me about it, to stop me from buying more than 1 of the same item. So my SA is good to have warned me about this and at the same time I learntof this rule which I didn't know before, and along the way I have found out taka has many rules and am still learning.
So changing SA would be the same since this is the boutique rule, and like I said from the very start I would change outlet after I've hit the quota as personally I've found it more restricting here.
maybe she will call you tomorrow!!
