I'm soooo happy you got your card! Even happier that they said you can send in a buisness card and a resume! Can't wait to turn mine in!

Yes, I am so glad I faxed! It still took about 4 or 5 days but that is better than a few weeks! However, I know this is a little ridiculous, but I was thinking about emailing them to see if they could email me my card number because I live in an area super-effected by hurricane Katrina, and believe it or not, our mail is still screwed up, and I am afraid it will take forever for me to get it, and I have a wedding coming up that I have to do 6 bridesmaids makeup for. I really can't afford to buy that much without my card! Do you think they might do it? I am afraid to ask them and them think I am just being impatient! (I guess I am a little....! Who isn't?)

To the card members who submitted a reference letter, what did your letter state? Did it just say that this person hired you on this day for whatever the project was? My client just wants to know what to write for me. Thanks!

im not sure if you can get the number before hand. but i do think you can get login info before the card gets to you. Well thats what i've heard.

I had my reference write that they hired me to do their makeup and was satisfied with the result.

Mine wrote that she had been using me for X amount of years, gave details of why she liked using me for her makeup , and said that she wanted to recommend me for their program so that I could further my training through their classes. That might help.

MAC pro card renewal?
Can someone please tell me what is involved in the renewal of the MAC pro card? Do you have to submit all the documents each time? And how often do you renew?

Question: I'm doing cosmetology school next year (if I get accepted). Does any school count or do they have a certain list? And what would I need to submit, if anyone knows, it would be soo helpful! I'm going to be veryyy happy if it goes through!

Unfortunately, they have a list of schools, but you may be able to email them and ask them about it if your school is accredited by the state but not recognized by MAC. They may make exceptions for students cause they seem pretty laid back about the regular pro discount....

No, only if you let it lapse I think. You renew once a year.

"Membership is renewable annually and is the responsibility of the member. After providing your payment, please retain your current M·A·C PRO card until you receive your new card, as your membership number will not change. Your membership expiration date is printed on your M·A·C PRO Membership card. If your membership has lapsed for twelve months or more, you must resubmit current professional documentation and a M·A·C PRO Membership application." i got this info from http://www.macpro.com/customerservice/membership.tmpl

i'm always putting the cart before the horse or w/e they say, but I'm trying to collect my documentation in case i'm ever eligble for the PPID....
this may be explained easily & i'm just making it more complex, but
would I be ineligble for the discount b/c I'm getting additional money at the daily rate or does that only apply to actual submitting receipts for reimbursement from accounting to make sure you're not being reimbursed RRP?
if you work in costume dept, but aren't doing the m/u are you eligble to appt?
TIA
