Bravado Commission Strategy

I have tried to ensure that there are no posts covering this topic so fingers crossed there. As many of you know, I have become fairly active over the past week in the War Room and I am trying to determine my strategy on what to use commission on.

There are lots of big-ticket items that I have my eye on, but after looking at some past discussions it seems like the items in the commission store tend to change semi-frequently. My question for those more tenured reps in the War Room is as follows:

What is your strategy for your commission points? Do you already have an item you have your eye on or are you stacking points with the mindset that something may become available in the future that you will really want?

I also haven't been a REAL part of the War Room for very long, so if I am way off base about commission items changing, please let me know.

Same. I've already cashed in for the more expensive items I wanted so I just go with gift cards. I'm interested to see what will be added in Fall

Is that because you don’t like other things in the commission store or because you would rather be able to choose anything you want off of a site like Amazon?

I forgot I was talking to one of the biggest ballers of all time in this War Room of ours. This makes a ton of sense.

Obviously, I can't speak specifically to the Traeger through Bravado, but I do have one and all I can say is it is worth every penny (or commission point)

DO IT FOXY!

I finally hit 'redeem' on that Traeger and am just waiting for Sendoso to reach out.

Figured out the perfect spot on my deck for it :D

We haven't had many changes, though there's supposed to be a drop coming at some point ( @Gastyany word on when that's happening?! )

I think we all dream of the Rolex when we get started, but that's a LOOONG game. I just redeemed for the Traeger, waiting for that email from Sendoso, and have had my eye on that since I closed on my house and moved out of a high rise.

Generally I think accumulating points is a good strategy, maybe target some of the bigger stuff but don't hang all of your hopes and dreams on a specific item.

Rolex would be super cool, but that is just SO long. As for your traeger, I got one a few years ago and it is a game changer for tailgates and just day to day smoking. Nothing like being able to smoke something through the night and not have to worry about having issues with heat/fire.

I picked up the sweats in the beginning to see how redeeming worked. Then I grabbed an iPad. Have been think about the traeger but also need a good cooler.

Just ordered the Traeger, and I almost have enough for the cooler - which I definitely need.

I'm tempted to wait and see what new stuff comes.

This is my dilemna, there definitely are some things I am interested in now, but I am curious about future store options as well. (Not that it really matters at the moment with all of 750 commission)

Feedback on the sweats? I also have my eye on the cooler but it would also make my third cooler in the garage.

The sweats are good. I’m 5’11 and the Large fit just a bit big for reference.

Excellent question @SoccerandSales. There will be an update on the commission store soon, and your question will be answered for sure in it. Till then, I'm sure the savages here would let you know all the advice and strategy they've been using till now for making the best use of commission points.

I haven't done any of the really little items, even though a few intrigue me. I'm just up to my ears in various company branded cool things I just don't have room for more.

I have redeemed for iPads, which has gone smoothly and with very satisfactory results.

I'm eyeballing a couple of things now, but "worst case" (if there is such a thing) the gift cards are always there so I could redeem for something not actually in the store.

Welcome, and have fun!

They're great. I got one for my husband so he can load up his entertainment options for when we travel. It keeps him happy, which in turn, keeps me happy.

Keeps you happy or keeps you sane?

It seems like some gifts are super common like a ton of people have the iPad and air pods so those would be safe. People talk about saving for the Rolex all the time so that’s probably safe.

If something is that important I would dm someone at Bravado asking

I just tried redeeming for the hoodie, which I had been saving up forever for, but it's out of stock. So I guess my new strategy is the long game for the big ticket items.

I am such a snob when it comes to hoodies/sweatpants, but I am intrigued by the Bravado ones

Restocking of some items is in progress, @butwhy. The hoodie would be back in no time.

I was saving up for the switch but ended up buying one on sale at best buy before I got there. At this point I'm just saving up for big ticket items. I don't really care about any of the smaller items.

How do you like the switch? I have thought about one for a while

I use it in waves. Sometimes I play it a ton and others it just sits and collects dust. There's a lot of cool classic games you can get on it that are fun to binge. Depends on how into video games you are really.

Tried to cash in on a t-shirt, did not have my size, suggested they would put points back, which has not happened, so, personally, unsure to be honest.

I’m just getting started and thinking I’m going to play a bit of a long game. Some of the items are worth the wait, and if they rotate out, I’d imagine they’re replaced by other things of similar value/scale
