It wasn't giving me my discount online either

[galvanizer]

Hopefully it'll be fixed soon... I'm itching to order but don't want a pricing haggle.

Me too!

I just emailed MAC Pro CS and they got back to me so quickly! It's a flaw and LiquidLasts are definitely worthy of a Pro discount. They're looking into it and will be emailing me again tomorrow morning!

Yay! :P

[KJam]

It's corrected now! Also, gone is the triangle of death.

[reirei702]

YAY! I just found out mac took the $10 out of my bank account for my application!

Can someone tell me how long it'll take for them to send it to me?!?! I'm really excited, hahahaha

Just wondering what are the items that we can get the Pro discount on and what items we can't get Pro discount on...

[VeronikaJ]

You can't receive the discount on anything that is in a set at a value. This means anything and everything from Formal Black, because they are already discounted or at a special value. Nocturnelle collection does honor the discount.
If you sign in to the MAC Pro website it tells you which items you can't receive a discount on and when you are adding things in to your bag it doesn't give you your discount automatically like it does with everything else.

Does anyone know if we get the pro discount on the pigment sets that are comming out?

[d_flawless]

i doubt it, isn't it some kind of special packaging?

[sonodara]

Pro Discount is not given on any the holiday sets (formal black, dress sets)

Ditto.

FYI - if you didn't already know, they've let you get the Pro discount on the Couture stuff on the Pro site. I happened to pick up the Richmetal Highlighter and the Mystery powder yesterday and noticed I got my 40%. I had to call to be sure and indeed it is now discountable. So you know I had to add on a few lipsticks(Couture and House of Style) and the Collection 06 Lipglass...as if I didn't have enough. But hey, I couldn't pass it up.

Excellent news! I wonder when that changed. When it initially launched, the discount only applied on the lip products.

[madkitty]

probably a bit of a daft question but do I really need to be a pro to get this and is it really worth it, i.e can it only be used in pro stores?

[jillianjiggs]

you don't have to be a hardcore pro to get it but you need proof that you actually need it (being a mac addict doesn't count unfortunately) like doing some freelance work and having proof of that, or having done makeup for special events, productions, etc in the past or present (and of course having proof of that)

you can find all of the requirements on the website.

i believe you can use the card at freestanding stores, not just pro (and possibly counters?) i know you can use it elsewhere other than pro stores.

[DaizyDeath]

you have to be either a model,photographer, actor, makeup artist, estitician. ( you also have to be able to provide substancial proof that you are what you say you are)

If you buy alot of makeup then its worth it but you have to be able tto justify the 35$ fee if you dont buy enough to re coup the costs with the discount then its not worth it.

You can only use pro cards at pro stores and some freestanding stores.

[ledonatella]

You can use it on the pro website too if you don't have a freestanding or pro store near, like me The only place you can't use it is at counters like at Macy's or Nordstrom's. It's definitly worth the fee, I save 35$ with one order, but then I buy alot.

You do have to show proof of working in the industry, I used my business card and cosmo. liscense. A friend of mine used a call sheet and a newspaper article lisiting her as an actress in a play.

[FacesbyNiki]

You can use the Pro card at all freestanding and Pro stores. It's very worth it if you buy alot of make up.

This thread is also very helpful for any questions: http://specktra.net/showthread.php?t=25432

[lara]

There is an entire thread dedicated to the how and why of the pro card: http://specktra.net/showthread.php?t=25432

Take the time to do a search, please.

And yes, you need to be in the industry. Otherwise it just devalues the whole point of the programme.

[Krasevayadancer]

So I am very intrigued by the whole concept of the Mac Pro discount.
I noticed that models are eligible for the discount, but how the heck can I prove to them that I am a model?
Do I need to submit pics with a watermark, or do I have to be published? With an agency? Etc etc

I really want this pro discount card so i can stock up on all my wants, if anyone has answers I would really appreciate it.

Mods: I searched the site but couldnt find anything, forgive me for this post if it has come up before

[shootergirlnc]

If you go to macpro.com, there's a place where it says stuff you can submit to show your line of work. You could use a letter from someone who employed you to model for them, headshots you've had done, or anything published that lists you as the model. Check out the site for other things you could use.

Don't quote me, but I believe the discount rate for models is less than the MA 40%.
