On the topic of 2 QBs a year - is this something that everyone is gunning for or am I mad to tell my SA “it’s ok, we will skip the 2nd one in 20222 if we can’t get the specs. I will wait for next year”.

To clarify, this means my prespend is rolled over but I forfeit QB2 2022. In 2023, my quota is 2 QBs (not 3). But I get have what I really want in 2023. It’s a healthier pace for me coz I don’t anyhow accept a QB that i don’t want. Just me la. And I rejected mini Lindy twice too. Why does a gal need so many new bags a year when we go to office 2-3 times a week!! Did I call out more elephants in the room - why do SG customers want so many new bags a year LOL!!!
I agree with you. It's very easy to buy new bags but hard to sell them. There is really no need for so many handbags. I have drastically cut back on my bag-shopping even pre-Covid.
 
Hey, how come I hear of so many people who were offered mini lindy? Haha.. I haven't been offered any non Quota bags at all, even though I'm waiting on my third Qb. Nothing. No non Qbs.

Were they offered to you or did you say you wanted a mini lindy but what she brought out didn't suit your specs?

My SA offered Mini Lindy twice without me prompting / asking (i.e., never mentioned that I wanted one). Turned them down because budget. :P But it could be an SA thing, cos my SA is the more bubbly kind who likes to ask me to try / consider stuffs that I don't have (e.g., pink RTW...).

I wish my SA was more proactive like yours. She seldom takes the initiative to suggest or show me anything, unless it was something I mentioned to her before/ on my wishlist.
 
Actually, I would go ahead & try building new profile (different name) in different store. I mean, on paper it does make sense! You will spread the prespend in 2 store, instead of accumulating 3-4x in 1 store & cant rollover anyway. Then might as well "use" that prespend in another store & have higher chance (of cos nothing is absolute) to get a QB. You will be able to spread your visits better too, not too often in 1 particular store.

But of cos, execution-wise on the ground, it's double the trouble. U'll need to manage rs with 2 SA, take note of 2 separate wishlists & items u bought (bcos i wear most of the items my SA gave me). So you might want to keep some stuffs a secret from the other SA (like leading double life haha).

While I personally won't do it, bcos i know i couldn't keep up with the expenses if i go with 2 stores, but I guess if money is not much of an issue to spend in 2 different stores & ur meticulous enuf to take note of the items, i'd give it a try really :tup:

i agree with you. Most years i I don’t even use my 2QB quota. sometimes I ask for hard to get items and the waiting time is very long but I still spend on other things I love while waiting. H is more than just about QBs
 
Hi
I guess I'm just sian of waiting so long. My sa says no rollover but I rly like many other stuff so I just keep buying.

Another thing is not all stores carry same inventory so if I do go to another store I get to buy a wider selection of stuff I love, so why not build towards another qb at same time.

Has anyone done this successfully before?
I do buy from other stores if my home store does not have what I want. So yes you can do it. But you only get 2QBs a year regardless of how much you spend and how many stores in SG you have profile with. Also having good relationship with one store will help you get hard to get items easier in future. It’s part of relationship building. Don’t despair, due to low stock level one does have to wait longer to get QBs and even regulars face longer waiting time. But your patience will pay off.

Same. I wish my SA was more proactive and offer me non QB bags too. My bags don't come easy to me. Haha. I even had to buy non Qb bags from resellers. Actually certain non Qb bags are cheaper on resale market.
