If you read the comments to last week’s rewards post (“On Frogs and Honeycombs“), you may have noticed that I said I’d try to reveal the date for “Shaloha” this week. Well, here’s the thing: I can’t blog about that just yet. We are working feverishly to get everything ready, tested, ready again, tested again, and ready again, again. And we really (really!) don’t want to set your expectations only to have to reset them again. (Frankly this is why we’ve shared rewards information a little at a time … timing has a tendency to shift a bit when making a change of this magnitude.) So this week’s question has to do with Canada.
We heard from a Canadian Agent who, to paraphrase the great band WIlco, suggested we “remember to remember (her).” So this post goes out to all of our Agents in the North Country.
Our new rewards system will provide you with the very same benefits as those received by the US Agents. In fact, we expect the new system to resolve that pesky “duty” problem you faced when receiving rewards in the past. Our research suggests that you won’t have to pay a postal tax upon receipt of rewards in the new system (including Shaloha). So rest assured, there will be plenty of stuff for our Canadian friends.
And as far as a date is concerned, I hope to have more on that soon. It’s still on the tippedy top of my questions-I-really-really-have-to-answer-and-soon-on-the-BeeLog list. But, we’re getting close………
