hello

I just recieved my macpro card today and I'm abit confused about the website. I initially thought u had be a mac pro member to be able to sign into the site and view the prices for the products, but even after i signed in, no prices r displayed!

So are the prices even displayed on the site?

Secondly, I've been reading through some of the threads here and some members mention that they order through the website using their mac card and some members state that u cannot use the card on website which one is true?

Thirdly, if theres anyone else frm the UK as a member please tell me what options do u have because i want to know if there a difference in the benefits when it comes to diffeerent countries!

Kind regards

can you use a mac pro card at any mac store or does it have to be at the mac pro store/mac pro online ?

thanks

[SlvrGrndM99]

Freestanding stores: yes
Counters: no

Question would have been better asked here: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

I want to petition to allow pro card holders to use the pro card at a corner. I live 1 mile away from a corner, 30 miles away from a store. WTF? It's the same product!!!

[gildedangel]

You can't use a Pro card at a counter because MAC does not directly own counters, the department store owns them. This is why you can't use MAC gift cards at counters either; but you can use gift cards from the department store.

hi guys just shipped out all my stuff to mac for the ppid card and was just wondering for those of you have it, what is the spending max or limit before mac considers it abuse? in other words i dont want to go coo coo with it and have it taken away, thanx everyone!

[iaisha26]

It's a monthly limit of $3000 or $5000, after discount. Something ridiculous like that. I've spend upwards of $1000 in a month on makeup for shows and had no problem. You should be just fine.

[SlvrGrndM99]

Noooo...

MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

Monthly is $2,000 but YEARLY is $5,000!

[hello_kitty]

Whoa... I didn't know there were limits on how many item types per transaction. The wording is a bit weird, so can someone answer a question?

"No more than 3 of same item or color up to 24 total pieces"

When they say that, do they mean (for example) no more than 3 Carbon eyeshadows, or eyeshadows in general, regardless of color? And is it per transaction?

I have a list of about 10 shadows (all different colors) waiting to buy once my card comes in the mail, and I don't want to go all the way into NYC to find out I can only buy 3 of them...

Thanks to anyone that can clear that up!

[SlvrGrndM99]

I would ASSUME it would mean, no more than 24 shadows, 3 per color.
As in you can get 3 Carbon, 3 Blanc Type, 3 Gesso, 3 Expensive Pink, etc. But not 4 of any particular one.

I have no idea though, haha. That's just how I interpret it, because I have got more than 3 shadows (all different colors) before. But, it'd be like only 3 foundation pumps. Or 3 219's, 24 total brushes.

Anyone else chime in?

BTW- This should really be in a different thread...

Can I exchange a product, ordered via macpro.com, to a store without the packing slip? I bought it Oct 13th and it's not the correct color match.

And is it wrong to go into a store and asked to be color matched? It feels so award now. But I'm not up to par with MAC foundations and their "tones".

[hello_kitty]

^ I would try calling customer service and see what they say. They say receipts are needed for all returns, but I am not sure if online can be different since there's a record of the order. Personally I've never returned something boughten online so I don't have any knowledge in it.

As for color matching, do it! I've always gone to the store and asked to be matched because I get overwhelmed by all those shades. The MUAs have always been more than happy to assist with finding the right shade and kind of foundation for my needs

For me, it was a day shy of 3 weeks after I sent. But I heard that mail to Canada can take a week, so one of those weeks was taken up by the mail. I got impatient and gave the customer service number a call, and they told me I was approved. That same day my credit card got charged. That was on the 15th of this month. My card arrived in the mail on the 22nd, a week later. I didn't get my email welcoming me to the program until today, after I had already used the card. So I was one day shy of 4 weeks from the time I dropped my stuff off at the post office to the day my card arrived in the mail.

I'd suggest doing what I did, and many others do, and give a call to the number and asking for the status of your application The number can be found under "Enrollment" on the MACPro site.

The guy that helped me on the phone says it can take up to 6 weeks to be approved, just to warn you.
