MAC Select Program

Where does it say that Sassy?

Log in to your account, click on the MAC Select link near the top right on your account page. It'll tell you what your level would be if you join. I got the same/a similar message as Sassy: "You've been upgraded to MAC Select Seduced."

EDIT: But after I confirmed membership it said I'd spent $0 for this year. Technically true, but then again, if it is retroactive to last June, it hasn't taken my purchases from last year into account yet.

Hmmm... This is an annual requalify. I'm really leaning towards 1 January being the date since it's the reset every year.

In January of each year, your membership level will update based on the dollar amount you spent on qualifying products and services during the previous calendar year and your spending eligibility will be reset at zero for the new calendar year. For example if you spend $200.00 in a calendar year on qualifying purchases, your account will update to Devoted status in January of the following year. Your spending will be set at zero and start accumulating with each qualifying purchase from January 1st.

Yes I saw that part (I'm also Seduced with $0) but thought Sassy was talking about something else :) I checked my account after I asked though and all my orders for last year say (click "details" to see full order):
[h=5]M∙A∙C SELECT[/h][FONT=tstar_mono_roundregular]This purchase will be added to your M∙A∙C Select account upon shipping.

[/FONT]
But I think that's the default for all orders now that Select exists because even orders before June say that.

I would be OK if they only took into account my order from last week, which is my only 2016 order so far... My orders also say they will be added after shipping (they have long shipped!), so we'll see.

It's default; I can see it on orders from 2011, for example.

I'm glad it's retroactive, I was kicking myself for making a huge order just a few days before this launched. If it's from June 2015 I'll be tier 3, if from Jan 1st I'll be tier 2, so either is fine for me.

It's a shame one of the perks is an anniversary gift and not a birthday gift, we'll have to wait a whole year to find out what it is!

I knew there would be a reward program, I think I might have posted about it a while back. Not sure how I feel about the early access part & exclusive part, but since it's US only I don't need to worry about it anyway. :D I don't think it would make much sense to have this in Germany since we always have such low stock of everything, not many people can buy from their site even if they want to. So... :smokin:

I'm Devoted now because of my Flamingo Park order! So glad I waited! I usually order from Nordies, but that's changed now because of MAC Select. I kinda wish they had a point-system like Sephora and Ulta... but at least they have a loyalty program now so not complaining! :hehe:

In regards to whether or not department store counter purchases are eligible for Select:

So other than swatching, this means there is no longer any point to buying in store for me. Not that I did it very often.

Yeah. I feel bad because I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Macy's MAC MUA, but with cash back and getting products sooner, I rarely buy in store anymore as it is.

this is going to kill their counter sales. Lately all the merchants are just trying to boost online sales with different gwps, samples etc... that's so hard on the sales people

Same here, I very rarely ever went to the freestanding store because I like the girls at the Dillard's counter so much and parking at The Domain can be such a pain, not to mention it was far. Guess it's online only for me now unless I just happen to be up in the area of the actual store and want a MAC fix. Now if only MAC would get on Ebates.

I have gotten two different answers in the past 5 minutes.

MAC Chat says NO retroactive.

On the phone with MAC right now and was told 7 days prior to MAC Select Launch. That's a new one.
