I haven't seen any reference to a $1500 annual limit - where did you get that from? I can't see that limit anywhere on the M·A·C Pro website nor in my membership booklet. $1,500 a year isn't very much for a professional makeup artist to spend on products in the course of a year.

I use my card for everything as I have freestanding and Pro stores within easy reach of where I live.

I use it for everything, I don't think we have a spending limit in the UK.

son_risa mentioned it in an LJ post, something about how she hit her limit at $1500 (after discount) for the year. Like Hikaru-chan said, UK might not have a limit. I'd be thrilled if it turned out there is no limit!

I've got easy access to 3 free-standing stores - the only thing I'd be ordering is Pro products.

Son_Risa is a MAC MA, it's not the same rules.

I didn't think of that - I suppose they have a limit because of the gratis they get.

Thanks everyone

I buy a few things without my card. It's because I only have a counter in my town, and not a store. I buy with out my card when shipping is too much for just one item. I spend about $150-200 a month on products. No one has ever mentioned a limit to me.

You're so lucky you have a PRO card, I wish I had one :\ But anyways, if you're practicing Cosmetology would you be able to apply for a PPID card?

The FAQ should help you with that: http://specktra.net/forum/showthread.php?t=25432

As for the OP, you might try calling MAC and asking for a replacement card. Maybe yours got too close to something magnetic and messed up the strip. They replace for free.

So, you don't get to use a pro card discount on holiday items?

PrettyKitty · 10-14-2005, 08:39 PM #60 (**permalink**)

Exactly.

As part of my small home business I do take pictures to be used in Business flyers, pamphlets, etc. I also do some portrait work. Can you get a MAC discount for that?! I mean I HAVE done some minor mak-up work on clients.

hmmmm
