A friend flew over to SG after the border is opened and went to Liat Tower to buy some things.. she did not have any account before but even after she bought many items from various department, the SA said there was no wallet/ slg that was available to purchase, and certainly no non quota bag at all that she could offer.. all display bag are display item only

just wondering why is that? It wasnt like that prior to covid.. do you think stock is really that low or the SA just does not wanna sell?
I feel that this will be their strategy frm now on. I went to H overseas (not paris, just asia) during my recent holiday trip. Chatted w the SA there quite a bit. N she said that if i want SLG or bags, it’s better to build rs & get frm my local H store. They value repeat purchases, which i think only possible when ur residing there.

I also got the same message from SAs in Paris
 
Yes I agree with that building a RS locally stands better chance in getting those ever popular SLG/non quota bags and of cause a QB eventually. I've been to both Paris and Asia trip this year and visited the H stores, Paris certainly offers a wide variety of stuffs but comes to the popular ones still quite tough, say Rodeos, Calvi duo etc.. As for the Asia store is pretty much the same experience as those of you who've visited the SG store recently, everything no stock :rolleyes:
Quite amazing that luxury shopping now hugely depends on the SA you'll meet, particularly with H. For myself I can roll over all my spending to the next QB even while waiting for a QB but I'll have to wait for 6 months before submitting another QB request after collecting one and It usually take few months for one to arrive, gauging by this timeline, I'll likely only be able to get 1 QB per year. No complain though since I preferred neutral col in general and my SA is also nice to offer me all other popular items while waiting for a QB to "quench my thirst":lol:
 
Is it possible to spend a little every month to qualify for a non quota bag? Roughly how long it takes? Any success story?
I've been spending about 1-2k a month, some months a bit more/less since last year and recently got asked for my wishlist. So yes! It's definitely possible. Honestly there's not much to buy sometimes anyway, because no stock.

hello all!! am seeking some advice here.

i bought a couple of sandals and accessories back then, and left a wishlist for a non QB bag with SA 1 ..
But she left :sad:

i didnt had anyone to follow up with until i went back to the store.. and " reset " with SA 2 on my wishlist.
( but i didnt had a good vibe with her :( )

So one day i decided to randomly walk into the store to shop for a gift, was looking for SA 2 but she was not around so another served me (SA 3) . So i was also randomly asking bout my wishlist status too, - not expecting ANYTHING. then shortly later she took out the item and there i got it (but we didnt exchange any contacts.. it was purely buy and go) . She also didnt really wanna strike any convo.. was really just attending to me and ready to be off work. haha

In this situation.. for future purchases will u all look for SA2 again? or would you all advice i just restart with someone new again HAHA. gosh.. all my past records seems to go to waste.. :( eventually i want a QB bag, but seems like my foundation is not set right yet. hahah

Need some advice. TIA :)

If it is the same store i don’t think your pre-spend will reset but you will definitely have to build rapport with a SA and start buying
