With EL you just never know what they will do... anyway some people there do it a lot with their employee discount as well...which is wrong.

Second that, I won't risk my discount for anyone. That's why I don't swap on the boards since I have had the card either. It's too confusing to figure out the ethics of it all.

Another thing is that you cant pay with someone elses debit or credit card, like if you were buying it for another person, and them paying for it,,,,it has to be your bank card and credit cards.

Nope, not even online.

I also have "See I.D." written on the back of my pro card insead of my signature. Then again I do that with all of my cards.

[LatinaRose]

If you recieve your pro card in America, you can still use it at international stores, correct??

I'm moving to Toronto(yay pro store) in June and want to be sure!

thanks!

[shabdebaz]

I'm pretty sure you can. I've also wondered that about the employee card, I travel to Chicago a lot. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Could someone do me a HUGE favor and sign onto the mac site and get a picture and description and price of the MAC student kit ?!?! That would be soooooooooo amazing if someone could...

[ledonatella]

Here's the description, they don't post pics. or what's in it, it says to call for more info.

Ugh! Wish I could get a Pro card!

[icaughtfire]

i know they say that only the person in which the card is under can use it but i was wondering how flexible mac is about it, do they check for ID or something or is there a way you can possibly get away with not being the person? has anybody succedded?

fyi: my cousin qualifies for the card but i barely ever see her so it would be kind of hard for me. and i dont wanna get a card if i cant really use it.

[serendipityii]

They do check for ID, so I don't think it would work... I just used mine for the first time today and they checked me. I heard they're pretty strict with it. You can buy online and over the phone though.

baaaad idea...if you 2 get caught she'll lose her priviledges

[ledonatella]

I never had anyone ask for my ID but I wouldn't chance it just because I wouldn't want to lose my privlages for someone else, I just have people tell me what they want and I get it for them as a "present" when I'm there

[pinkfeet]

They always ask for my id unless its one of the girls that know me or one of my friends, otherwise they ask.

Here is the FAQ about the PRO Membership programme: http://specktra.net/forum/showthread.php?p=408863

[koolmnbv]

Ok I applied for my MAC pro membership yesterday (i faxed in all my info) I sent in a resume, a letter of reference from my employer and a copy of my buisness card. My question is has anyone ever been turned down and if so why?? ALso how long does it usually take to find out if your approved??? Then after your approved how long until you get your card??? PLEASE let me know because I am dying here and I want this like yesterday!


P.s- is it true after you get your pro membership you can attend MAC classes? If so how do you find out where and when and if there are any in my area? Thanks SO much and sorry for all the questions

[ledonatella]

I mailed my info in and I received my card in about 3 weeks. Yeah, I know people that were turned down because they weren't really in the beauty/entertainment/whatever fields and didn't hand in adequete documentation, but it sounds to me like you did. Yes, you can attend classes, they are quite fun and are held at some MAC freestanding stores and Pro Stores. They usually start at $100, but you get that back in product. They just sent the card to members not too long ago of the list of spring classes but when you become a member it's also listed on the pro website. HTH

[mymymai]

It sounds like you have enough documentation to me as well. As for me, I checked my bank statement and about a week after I mailed it, there was a charge for $35 from MAc and I knew I had gotten approved. It took about 1 more week before I had the card in my hands.

[serendipityii]

I faxed my stuff in, saw the charge on my card a few days later, and received my card about a week after my card was charged.

Yes, you can attend classes... once you get your membership, you can log into the macpro.com site and click on Events and search in your area. Usually you pay an amount that can be redeemed in products later on.

[shellybells82]

I applied about 2 weeks ago... I faxed in all my info as well and actually called them a few days later to check the status... They let me know I had been approved and I received my card this week... Needless to say, I hit the store that night!

[galvanizer]

I took mine in to a Pro Store and it took about 5 weeks, but I was told it would take about 6 weeks. Probably depends on where you are and how you apply. I'm in BC Canada.

I could have faxed it in I guess but I was told that they day I brought my stuff in, I could buy products at the Pro discount price... and then I'd have to wait until I got my card.

[martygreene]

The answers to your questions can be found in the MAC PRO/PPID FAQ, in the FAQ forum: http://specktra.net/forum/showthread.php?t=25432

In the future, please remember to use the search function to find existing threads on the subject you wish to discuss. This helps keep the forum tidy and easy to use.

[galvanizer]

Maybe it's because they haven't fully loaded them on the site yet? When I put a LIquidLast in my bag, the discount says "N/A" and the final price is the same. I tried the new Pigments and other Sundressing items and they came out with the discount. I hope it's just a glitch that'll be fixed soon!

[i_bleed_life]

I ordered mine through the 1-800 and I got my discount, so it must be a glitch!
