MAC Select Program

As an "Obsessed" member, i got an e-mail today for a free lipstick of my choice with the purchase of any lip product.

Then there's the VERY fine print: lipstick only up to $17 (US); does not include any in special packaging; does not include Viva Glam since 100% of purchase price goes go charity.

There's a bit more: free product cannot be returned or exchanged; offer can only be redeemed once; employees and Pro members not eligible.

Still, a free lipstick sounds good to me - i've got a list of perm lipsticks i haven't gotten to...

As far as I can tell, it's also only in stores....which I don't have around here, so I'm not too happy about that.

Yes, indeed, in MAC stores only and only from today thru the 6th. So i may be impelled to go check out some stuff over the weekend. I'm sorry you don't have a store near you, tho :-(

I wish the select program was like Lancome, they allow you to accumulate points no matter where you made your purchase.

I was thinking about that too although it wasn't like that at first with lancome. it was only lancome website and in store purchases. later on they allowed adding purchases made online at different web stores

Me too! I made a purchase at a Dillards MAC counter for items that were DC'd and not at my actual MAC store or online. If I had those points I'd be obsessed level already. But I'm $1 away now. I will probably grab a few items next week for the new collection.

of course i didn't get any email :mad:

Me either. I've never gotten an email and every time I change my settings, when I view my account the box is unchecked again. Just came from the store and nothing was in stock anyway.

I received this email too as a Devoted member. It's been awhile since I've purchased a perm lipstick from MAC so getting an offer for a free one with purchase made me start checking them out again.

As far as I can tell, it's also only in stores....which I don't have around here, so I'm not too happy about that.

I'm sorry to hear that you are unable to redeem this offer because they only offered it in full fledged MAC stores. The MAC Select Program should be extended to counters as well since MAC stores aren't easily accessible to everyone.

I wish the select program was like Lancome, they allow you to accumulate points no matter where you made your purchase.

I agree. Although I have a MAC store that's not too far away, it's a bit of an inconvenience to have to bypass several counters at closer malls or not be able to accumulate points at other online retailers who sell MAC because you can only accumulate points in full fledged stores and on their website.

I went and got my free lipstick yesterday. I got Cherish and Modesty. I wonder if I can use it again because the didn't even ask me for my email ������

I got my free lipstick today. I purchased a Prep + Prime Lip and got the Taupe lipstick for free. If they didn't ask for your email, you may able to redeem the offer again since they shouldn't have any record of your purchase on your account. If you can redeem it again, let us know, lol.

I was thinking about that too although it wasn't like that at first with lancome. it was only lancome website and in store purchases. later on they allowed adding purchases made online at different web stores

I really hope they extend the MAC Select program to all retailers who sell MAC online and in-store. It would be so much more convenient if they did for all of their customers. I hate having to drive all of the way to my nearest full fledged MAC store (unfortunately, I'm not too fond of some of the sales associates at this location) just to be able to accumulate points when I have other MAC counters that are closer. Although I do most of my MAC shopping online, sometimes I do go to this location if something is out of stock online and I want to make sure I get my points.

Me too! I made a purchase at a Dillards MAC counter for items that were DC'd and not at my actual MAC store or online. If I had those points I'd be obsessed level already. But I'm $1 away now. I will probably grab a few items next week for the new collection.

I've made a couple of purchases at a MAC in Macy's for products that were discontinued and unavailable both online and at my nearest MAC store and I'd certainly be closer to the Obsessed level if those purchases actually counted. It's good that you're only a $1 away though so you'll be Obsessed in no time. I'm $134.80 away from Obsessed but there are 5 makeup brushes I want to get and a lip pencil so I'm sure I'll be obsessed after I buy them, lol.

Me either. I've never gotten an email and every time I change my settings, when I view my account the box is unchecked again. Just came from the store and nothing was in stock anyway.

Before I ended up selecting the lipstick I got, I asked for several other shades, which were all out of stock. Had I not gotten the shade I did, I probably would have walked out empty handed myself.

That happens to me too! I have never gotten emails on my registered account outside of order confirmations and shipping notices.
I did a test though a few weeks ago and created a dummy account with another email address and for some reason I get the emails to that account. *shrug*

Well, bugger! I forgot to go get my free lipstick yesterday! Aargh!

I DID find my little black box that i misplaced a month ago and i'm wearing my Select lipstick today. It's a great basic color - I'm fairly light so while it's neutral, it definitely stands out. I was afraid it would be too warm, but i'm really happy with it!

It might be a glitch (hopefully),but I'd definitely check my card's account ASAP, change my MAC password and remove the card from the account.

MAC takes Paypal in case you want to pay that way next time. I use it since they started accepting it. The card I had on file with them is long expired by now.

Hopefully everything works out and the site was just glitchy!


I just signed in after 2 weeks. It was a glitch bc now im back to devoted LOL but only $38.5 away to become an obsessed.

WOW. That's crazy. Before the rewards program I used to get not only useless emails like "hey, remember us!" but also useless MAC postcards in the mail. Maybe I'll change my email to one of my other accounts and see if that works.

Thank you for posting the offer details here! I got the email yesterday and I've already ordered a pro longwear lip pencil, a lipstick, 3 eyeshadow refill pans, and an eye brush, lol. I'm only $52.30 away from becoming Obsessed and I think I will reach that status before the end of tomorrow since the code can be used more than once, lol.
