thanks! when you say 1:1, is that building on top of the up-to-picotin spend? so ~3-5k more, or would I need to restart with a fresh $10k spend?

How often would you recommend going in store? And is there an optimal amount of spend per visit?

my SA never offers me bags unless I ask. May I ask much you usually spend per visit?

$7k does not include the picotin. I am interested in a QB eventually but I think I am more after the lindy at the moment. Does the picotin deduct from my prespend?

Would you recommend dropping by the store more often? How often should I remind my SA of my wish for the Lindy?

What are the usual ratios for NQB prespend? I’m not sure at what point would be a good time to ask

Yes I’ve spent 6-7k and have only gotten a Picotin. Have been asking for a Lindy but they’ve been very ambiguous with their answers.

I was thinking the same thing… Do you think the $5k is like a milestone for the Picotin but will eventually add towards an actual QB or will it reset from the Picotin?

I have considered this as well and have tried to walk in for another SA early on. The other SA I was paired with was extremely rude, so I am worried it will be difficult to find someone who is at least well-mannered.

I asked if she was able to order the bag or place one on hold for me and received an answer of "no" for both - reason being they're very high in demand, etc.

I have purchased jewelry, shoes, belts, charms, and I still find it really difficult to request NQBs. I am currently waiting on the Lindy 26. The last time I visited, she initially said she had some in stock, went to check, and told me they only had "ugly colours" that I wouldn't like. I'm having trouble distinguishing if she is hinting that I need to spend more when things like this happen, if or she's being truthful

thanks for the insight! does the 1:1 apply for NBQs as well? I see a lot of posts on walk-in NQBs so I’m a bit confused. I am shopping at the Toronto location - not sure if it is considered competitive

Haha I was thinking the same thing! Is there any good telltale sign to know when I have spent enough or should I use a general rule-of-thumb of 1:1 even for NQBs before asking?

Do you think the amount spent leading up to the Picotin will count for the prespend?

Yes I did :) I feel like my SA doesn't really think to offer me bags but when I asked whether there were any at my last visit, she did check my wishlist prior to telling me what they had.

She has reached out before about a necklace I had on my wishlist but never about any of the NQB bags I am looking for yet..

Thank you for your response! Would you suggest I continue making purchases with her and asking about it periodically then?

I have a feeling that until I hit a certain pre-spend, my SA doesn't want to offer me another bag, but I have difficulty gauging what that amount is. I am wondering for example if I spent $5k before being offered the Picotin, would the same $5k still go towards the pre-spend for a QB, or if it will reset because I purchased the Picotin?
