Wow I had no idea - I’ve read that pre-spend resets. But I am happy to hear that perhaps getting a second bag is much easier? I’ve haven’t gotten my second bag yet but haven’t spend much at all since my first bag.
How did you bring up the topic on your second bag or SA brought it up? I’ve been doing remote spending and haven’t seen my SA. But we’re in contact and I plan on going in soon.
I didn't have to bring it up, my SA just texted me one day out of the blue and asked me if I was interested in a bag of XYZ specs. Just speaking from my personal experience, once the SA knows your general preferences and that you are interested in obtaining QBs, there's no need to "bring it up" or "remind" them.
Thank you so much! That’s good to know. I think my SA has a really good idea on things that I like & I am more than okay to wait another year for a second bag. I have to plan my money tree
Did you get your second offer in the same year?
Np! That's great that your SA knows your preferences well. They'll typically review your profile right before a visit, so they can prepare items for you (if any happen to be available) and seek SM approval in advance if needed.Thank you so much!

Yes my SA always makes sure that I get 2 QBs a year.
Oh yay! So happy to hear! Okay last question hehe. For your second qb, would you say 1:1 spend? Thank you again!
I honestly can't remember as it was a couple years ago. I generally don't keep track of "prespend" closely though, since it doesn't reset after each bag, and I don't want a heart attack

That’s smart! Yeah I guess as long as we buy only what we love then we shouldn’t have to calculate. I don’t count any longer too ☺️I honestly can't remember as it was a couple years ago.

My SA asked me for my wishlist bags shortly after I got my first QB. I love bags so in general we’ll have long discussions about bags that I love and hope to one day buy. I randomly got a text one day to see if I wanted to stop by to see something I might like for both QBs. I’m not exactly certain as I prefer not to know , but I probably spent closer to 2:1 for my first QB and then around 1:1 for my second QB.
This is so helpful! Thank you
Sounds like you and your SA have a great relationship. I think I’ll definitely need my SA’s input for my next bag. There’s just so many beautiful combos out there.
I refrain from asking my SA for something that I don't intend to buy, because I don't want to waste anyone's time and keep anyone's hopes high.."commission wise". I guess that is one reason why my SA and I get along and why I get what I ask for. I am not a high roller at all. If I ask for something, I buy it. And she knows that. But that is just me. You should do what makes you feel comfortable and happy.

Hello… I need advice again. TLDR version is that I now have two SAs at the SF store who I really enjoy working with. It was not intentional and happened by chance when I stopped in the store. Is it bad to do that? If yes, how do I pick without offending the other? I ended up this situation because the first SA wasn’t responsive so I met a new one by chance but each time I stop by the store it’s like I get one or the other.
Yeah I’m always like that too. But for this one, I like it, and I asked for it like 9 months ago. But as time passed, and I’ve purchased a lot after that and I haven’t got my QB so I kind of feeling not sure what to do as the spend as been very high. I know I shouldn’t calculate too much on the pre-spend but I just cannot help to
If you are looking for offers I definitely would pick one SA. I would just start shopping exclusively with one of them. Get their contact and make appointment with them to shop.
And another +1 on this. The idea of “reset” and what “counts” for one bag and “subtracting” from your history all tend to be how it works in some Asian countries and - at least in my experience - not the case at all in the US. It’s about your entire history and profile as a whole, compared with that of the others who happen to be wanting the same bag at your store at the same time. So it’s never going to be an exact science.
I’d get the watch if you want the watch (for itself), politely decline if you don’t. It’s possible that people change their minds; especially after 9 months. Just don’t make a habit of doing it and your SA will understand. Everyone is human after all.
