Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

I am going to send in my stuff... thanks for all of the helpful tips here. Hope I get it!

Oh, and one question, are all of the products (i.e. new releases, etc.) that are on the regular website available on the Pro site? I mean, when new collections come out, you can usually order everything on the Pro site, right?

Along the lines, how does the Pro Site product availability compare to the regular site? ((Are they essentially out of the same stock, so if something is sold out on one, most likely it's sold out on the other.))

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

The money was drafted from my debit card 2 weeks ago and a week ago I got an email with my pro #, but no card. And I wanted to go shop for Baby Bloom & Love the Look this weekend.

Already did that! I just wanted to look at the shadows & blushes in person and not have to make a list, go home and order, wait a few days, etc. Especially since I JUST placed an order.



And for the life of me I just don't get why there's only 5 "complimentary" shipments/year when you get free over $60 on the reg site, all the time!

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

I know people have asked this but I don't feel like sifting through the entire thread.

I am just starting out as an artist. I have a business card but no portfolio or resume...YET (I am attending the Artist Summit in Miami in October to attend seminars and workshops). If I fax/mail my business card and license, will that suffice? If not, what else could I do? I'm in graduate school and this Fall I plan on doing ALOT of makeup for people on campus (Homecoming, Pageants, Test Shooting, local Modelling clubs, etc.) but I am still building up my kit to accomodate everyone. I have a Nixie and Illamasqua pro discount also...should I create a resume and just add these memberships to help prove my profession? HELP ME! I just really need that discount to help kick off my artistry! Thanks guys! Muchos besos!

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

Hey,
I applied for mine and it took about a good month or so. I applied in June and just got the email that they approved me last week. BUT the email said that my membership has been active since July 10th. So it does take a while but you should receive an email that you have been approved before you even get the card. BTW...I still havent received my actual card yet but I have been using my discount. HTH

Hey, you can send in your business card and license and if you have any professional references. Go to the MAC pro website and download the application and they will tell you what they accept.

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

question! will they contact the company i work for? the reason i ask is because the person who wrote my professional letter of reference doesn't go to the office every weekday. if he happens to miss the call(if they even do this), will MAC call back or leave a message, or something? i reeeaaallly don't want to ruin my chances.

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

Hey!

Nobody called my references when I applied. I faxed off my application in the morning and about half an hour later a lady called to confirm my credit card details. The charge went on that night and they emailed me my pro membership number a couple days later when I asked them.

Mind, I applied and was accepted the first week of April, and have yet to get my card.

SO: my question!

1. Can you use your card/discount overseas? I live in the UK but I'm going back to my native Canada for two weeks starting the end of August and was wondering if my discount would be valid there?

and 2. Can you shop in-store and use your discount using your membership number? Because I've requested my card FOUR times (to two different addresses even) and it hasn't come. But everything else I've ordered has =/

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

I just faxed in my application yesterday, today I saw the $35 charge deducted from my bank account.

My question is.... Will I have to wait to get my card in the mail to be able to order online? Or is there a way to get my card number emailed to me or something?

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

You can order over the phone without your card. If you email their customer services and request your membership number so you can setup online or whatever, they'll send you the number. And you can order over the phone anyway since they'll have your details on their system (I've never been asked for my membership number or anything anyway).

Also, if you have a Pro store near you that you want to go to, they should have your details on their system too (I emailed Customer Services on Monday to find out if I could go to the Pro store in London (I live in the UK) to shop even though I don't have my card and they said I'd be on the system so that's fine).

You can also use your discount internationally once you have your card.

It's been 4 months for me though and I STILL haven't gotten my card >.<

I think they prefer applications being mailed in so that they can verify your credentials. Maybe its easier for them to verify they are legitimate if they see an original copy of your business card, letter of recommendation on a letterhead, etc. However I am an aesthetician, so I sent in a copy of my diploma and my state license and a copy of my drivers license. Those are watermarked so you can see they are legit and I am searchable in the Pennsylvania state license verification website, which takes two seconds to look up. So maybe thats why mine went through so quickly?

I did however call the Mac Pro number to ask their fax number to verify i faxed to the right one, and they said they do not accept applications by fax.... Oopsie. But they took the money out 12 hours later....

Confusing

By the way what number did you use? I used one I found in this forum it was like 905 something. Others told me to use the 1-877-553-5536, but thats the customer service line so I assumed that wouldn;t work....

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

Dunno if this has been answered or not

Im applying in the next few days. I have two photographers letters of reference on letterheads, business cards and a copy of my ID of course.

One of my letters of reference is not actually SIGNED, but they used a font to sign it. As long as it's on a letterhead will it still be accepted?

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

So, after all the excitement about finally being able to apply for a pro card, I have to say this process is frustrating!

I think the MAC customer service employees need to all get on the same page! As nice as they are, each time I talk to someone different I get different answers.

"No we don't accept faxed applications" Well apparently you do since I faxed mine and you charged my card.

So can I just get my pro # emailed to me so that I can access macpro online?
"Well, If you didn't provide an email address with your application we will give you your PRO # if you call 877 blahblahblah after your card has been issued" So has my card been issued since the money has been taken from my account already? "In 2 days it is scheduled to be issued"

***wait 4 days**

"Sorry we will never give your number out over the phone" Well can you please tell me if my card has been issued yet? "Once your creditcard is charged your pro card has been issued"

Yeeeeesh can I just have my number so I can give you more money for product? guess not.

I know I am being impatient and it will be here soon I am sure and I will be as happy as can be.... But it is frustrating to get completely different answers all the time!

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

ok so i didn't get the card and there reasoning was that i didn't provide them with two pieces of professional criteria which i don't understand i sent in my business card and a letter from a client so i don't understand what they need from me and does anyone have there fax number cause the one i had wouldn't work thanks

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

Does anyone know if a business lisence counts as a form of professional ID?

I would assume so... in my opinion thats pretty much the highest form of proof :P

But does anyone know?
