END OF MONTH SHOPS
Whenever possible, if your shop visit is on the last day of the month, please submit your report by midnight on your shopping day to avoid payment delays. Shops submitted on the first of the month may be counted in that month, rather than the month they were shopped.

Starting in January, recorded seminars will also be available for those who cannot attend the live seminar. Additional dates for recorded and live seminars will be released in the near future.
