It's not simple like that. I've met an exceptional SA who didn't tell me about the game (he actually said don't believe what you read) but baited me on a hook. Noticed other SAs (when waiting for my guy many times or collecting my purchase when he wasn't in) who didn't even bother - they just said B/K/C not available, sorry madam/sir, goodbye.
I was offered a K32 without a purchase history, just like that. I earned my K32 in the colour of my choice after around 0.75K spend (though it triggered after just buying a Bearn wallet to be fair). Luck luck luck.

It all really depends on the SA and I guess the SM willing to let that SA sell the bag. I had many SAs tell me I have to spend 1:1 amount to get a bag without really knowing them but with well established relationships, I just get offered what they currently have in stock and only having to spend 3-4K; it really depends. I even had the experience of being offered a Lizard Kelly as a new walk in so it really depends on what the SA deems is okay. While at some stores they have the bag but they want you to literally buy the entire store... (super ridiculous) but theres many SAs out there and its really based on luck in my opinion. As you read further in the older posts, you'll see how everyones experience is slightly different, no set rules.

Experience from myself and relatives as a tourist and first time walk-in buyer with 0 purchase history and non-local:

Capri, Italy - 7,000 Euros
South of France boutiques, with the exception of Monte Carlo*- ranges from 6,000 to 8,000 Euros (use to be a mere 3,000 in some boutiques several years ago)
Bangkok, Thailand- 17,500 USD
Madison Avenue, NYC- buy a 10K USD bedazzled blanket

Kelly or Birkin on demand but limited to whatever they have available. "Admission cost" is from one go and not spread out over more than one transaction. The SA will tell you what's available before you agree and select items.

*Monte Carlo- accumulated over 8,000 EUR of men's RTW and still wouldnt budge on selling a Birkin or Kelly

There are times that the focus about how much spending needs or has to be done in order to acquire
an item , can be a little intimidating for newbies.
One of the easiest ways I have found over the years be at H or any other store, is just to walk in be friendly
& to one's surprise you never know what will come your way! It's always worth a shot as long
as one is being an optimistic realist
