Only a few minutes…. But I did also jump on their chat because I had an active Sophia subscription so I wanted to figure out how that would work. The email came from “Advisor” so it looks a little generic.
Interesting. I still haven't heard back from Perkspot/Workforce Edge. Maybe because I just made my Avon account and haven't ordered anything yet...?
I have not heard back either. I think I will make a purchase and then get some family to order from the Representative link and inquire after.
I asked about the length of time regarding the interest card and I received this response:
Thank you for your interest in the Sophia benefit.
Due to a high volume of requests, there is currently a hold on free Sophia access.
In the meantime, please provide the following information so that we can best support you and your benefit.
Email:
Length of Employment:
We will circle back with next steps.
Perhaps new accounts will not have priority receiving the benefit.
Yeah I figured. It wouldn't be as easy as creating a Avon account and then claiming the benefit.
This is still a good deal but probably only for those who are actually Avon reps and have been for sometime. Not those who just created one ten minutes ago.
If there’s a non-unique code for each rep (
e.g. something like “AVONREP2022”), could you just post the code for us here please?

I got this msg from Perks
"I apologize. This is what we refer to as a "Legacy" offer, meaning this was negotiated by Avon in-house. When Avon joined Perkspot, they asked us to house this offer for them to make it easier for employees to access. Because this offer was not negotiated by PerkSpot, unfortunately, our insight into the validity of this offer is fairly limited. I would encourage you to contact either Sophia Learning corporate support or your Avon HR team to determine more information on how to redeem the offer."

Just a heads up for anyone that just signed up with Avon to try and get this. I got an email today from Workforce Edge and they provided me with a code for 1 month of Sophia. So while it's not the free year that it may been originally the 1 month is certainly better than nothing. Free is free
Thanks again for this!

Oh boy…. maybe I got lucky. Or no one had used it in a while and they forgot it was for a year and quickly replaced it with a month.
