You can use your PPID, but you can't get free shipping the way you can with the 1-800 number. Also, they don't ship to Hawaii and Alaska, just the continental US.

Okay - so I was on the MAC website and in looking at the various locations near me - I found that many of them said "PRO DISCOUNT" - does this mean that it is a PRO STORE - or just that you can get the discount there...please solve my confusion. Thanks

It means it takes the Pro discount (PPID). They may be freestanding stores or Pro stores, but not dept. store counters.

That FAQ was just being posted when the forum switch happened, but it's there officially now!

there generally aren't multiple pro stores in an area.

You can call them and ask.

lola336 · 08-18-2005, 02:51 PM #32 (**permalink**)

the faq tells you where the pro stores are, and when you do a search on the mac site..it will say MAC Pro, not pro discount. HTH

the only "pro" store here is on robertson... the other closest one is in SF... the rest of the stores are freestanding (they say pro because they sell pro palletes)

I have a pro card but when I go to use it it never swipes trough the cash register so the MA's there (who know me very well) put my discount trough manually.
I'm going to Orlando Florida in two days and will be shopping at a MAC store there, will I be able to do the same thing with my card there or will they not accept it?
Also how much discount will I get 25, like in the UK or 30 like I've seen posted on here a while back?

Hikaru-chan · 08-23-2005, 07:16 PM #39 (**permalink**)

Also will I be able to use the discount on a Traincase or is that item excluded?

What exactly is a pro card.

It's a MAC discount card exclusive to industry professionals.

martygreene · 08-23-2005, 09:24 PM #43 (**permalink**)

I don't know where my card is at the moment, but I don't recall it having a magnetic strip in the past... but then I could just be losing my mind. I've always used mine manually, and it's just fine. You should be fine using your card.

Yes, you can use the card on the traincase.

I have never found a clear answer about this. I am seriously lemming the new NE quads. TIA

Hikaru-chan · 08-24-2005, 04:05 AM #45 (**permalink**)

I would imagine so.

PrettyKitty · 08-24-2005, 08:50 AM #46 (**permalink**)

Yes, I did!

bluegrassbabe · 08-24-2005, 09:43 AM #47 (**permalink**)

YAY!!! Thank you

I have a question for those ladies with pro cards.

Do you use it for everything you buy or only for big purchases?

I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get through the year with that $1500 limit! I'm thinking I probably won't use it if I only need one or two things...

What do you do?

martygreene · 09-17-2005, 01:19 PM #50 (**permalink**)

Since it can only be used via the phone or at MAC freestanding/pro stores, a good number of small purchases are without the discount.
