Challenge Question

[CarlaW]

Sorry to take up this space but I have a small question about the challenge rules.

"PBP's Mystery Box, Use it All Mini Kit, Mojo Perks Bundle, and the FREE Template can only be used for their respective challenges each month. Those freebies are not to be used to complete additional challenges each month. If you use those freebies to complete other challenges, you will not be eligible for the prizes."

I totally understand this for the month that the freebie is received however, can these items be used in a different month? So, I want to use some of the Use it all or the Mystery Box from MARCH to complete the Vintage Challenge for May. Can that be done without my layout being disqualified or am I supposed to just never use those products again?

Never mind...for me. I ended up doing something different but someone else might need the answer to this and I would still like to know for future reference.

Carla, Mystery Box, Use it All Mini Kit, Mojo Perks Bundle, and the FREE Template can only be used for the month they are available.

So then I do not understand why they are available for purchase in the store if they cannot be used for anything after the month they are available for free. Something doesn't sound quite right to me...but...I will leave it alone.

Carla, I know it may not seem logical to not allow them for use on future challenges. You'll notice that they are kept hidden until after the challenges end....so if you're a challenge participant, you get the benefit of getting it for free. We just wish that everyone that downloaded the freebies would play along with us in our challenges

We have unique challenges each month to inspire our customers. In addition to providing inspiration and learning new techniques, challenges help support our design team. Designers are so generous each month and give away the Use It All Mini Kit, Template, Mystery Box, Mojo Perks & more! They can't continue to design if they don't sell things on a regular basis in addition to the freebies that they offer. If we allow reusing the freebies from previous months for later challenges, then there is no need for customers to buy goodies. We walk a fine line in trying to keep things interesting and affordable for our customers, while still allowing our designers to sell enough to justify the time it takes to create their designs.

I hope that helps explain our logic behind that rule.
