FJ and watches are passé for threshold spend. Ready to wear is always great, high value and changes every season. Low resale value. Many younger ladies are also appreciating the men’s line being more suitable for younger and more trendy crowd.

I've been offered a C and a C to go.Have you ever had luck securing a QB at the Hawaii store?
After a QB purchase, does the prespend reset right away? Or would you wait a month or so to start spending again? I’ve been eyeing a pair of earrings and wanted to purchase them but it’s only been a week since I picked up my bag
I bought a watch with my first qb, I specifically remember my SA making sure that the other person who was checking me out was scanning the bag then watch.Anything that is bought after the quota bag starts counting towards the next bag. They usually will scan your bag first and then other things you purschae that day will start counting towards the next bag.
At least that’s what I was told.
Oh man then I’m bummed! When I was there last month to pick up my QB, my SA rang up the stuffs I purchased over 8K first then the QB and non-QB after that.I bought a watch with my first qb, I specifically remember my SA making sure that the other person who was checking me out was scanning the bag then watch.
They know this and “look out” for you in that way
I’ve been loosely following your journey and I really don’t think you have anything to worry about. It seems your SA really looks out for you already! I’d be willing to bet you’ve gone beyond the needing to solely count spendOh man then I’m bummed!

You're in the U.S. right? I don't know... I feel like the "prespend" and how it "resets" is not as rigid in the U.S. as in Asia? I've never talked about prespend with my SA's and I don't keep track. I've gotten QB offers with very little spend and with a LOT of spend... so I feel like it just depends on what's available and the relationship you have with your SA. My SA recently offered me a coveted non-QB under my DH's profile, which is not as robust as mine and he had not made a purchase in 6 months. So my SA made up a fantastical story about why he had not made a purchase in 6 months but that he had great potential so that the SM would approve the bag for him! (My SA told me this after the fact!) So I feel like your SA wouldn't necessarily nitpick that $8K based on whether it was rung up immediately before the QB or after the QB...if you have a good relationship with your SA, which it sounds like you do, they will advocate for you regardless! I wouldn't stress about it!Oh man then I’m bummed! When I was there last month to pick up my QB, my SA rang up the stuffs I purchased over 8K first then the QB and non-QB after that.![]()
Thanks for the reassuring! I have the same feeling like you said too so hopefully I’m good bcuz my SA really got me exactly what I wanted and didn’t even bother to offer me anything she thinks I don’t like.I’ve been loosely following your journey and I really don’t think you have anything to worry about.

Yes, I’m in the US. Thanks for sharing your experience. I feel better now. And I truly believe the relationship is important. Sounds like you have a wonderful SA!You're in the U.S. right?

Same here. Now I'm really worried. I purchased about $5k along with my QB and my SA rung up that stuff before the QB.Oh man then I’m bummed! When I was there last month to pick up my QB, my SA rang up the stuffs I purchased over 8K first then the QB and non-QB after that.![]()
Well for me, my prespend for the 2nd QB was double as compared to the 1st QB and it was 10 months after the 1st QB. I only waited 3 months for my 1st after I started the relationship with my SA.Thanks everyone for your responses, super helpful! In your experiences, is the 2nd bag more difficult to obtain than the first one??
What was your prespend for the first ratio wiseWell for me, my prespend for the 2nd QB was double as compared to the 1st QB and it was 10 months after the 1st QB. I only waited 3 months for my 1st after I started the relationship with my SA.![]()
