Well-known member
I emailed MAC about the pro card, and this was their reply:
Hello,

To be eligible for the MAC Pro Membership program, you must fall under one of the listed professions found on the application.

You must also be able to provide us with two documents that will serve as proof of your profession (e.g. Diploma, Business card etc....)

You may email us back with your full name and mailing address so that we can send out the application to you.

OR

You can also download the application at www.macpro.com.

I have included the text below that can be found on the application, for your reference.

Thank you,

Lorraine Young-Lord

Make-up professionals are the "art and soul" of MAC. They are the history and heritage of the MAC culture.

The MAC PRO Membership program was created in recognition of this unique relationship. The program provides a forum for professional support, special

PRO-only benefits and discounts. It is your link to the global artist community.

Make-up artists and other creative talent who use make-up as a primary part of their work are eligible for the program.

The program offers the make-up professional a direct link to the MAC world as well as the following member-exclusive benefits:

Product discount at MAC Stores (40% for make-up artists; 30% for cosmetologists, hairstylists, nail technicians, aestheticians, performers, models, fashion stylists & photographers)

To enroll, simply fill out the attached MAC PRO Membership application, provide the proper professional documentation and a copy of photo identification with your annual membership fee ($ 35 US/ $ 45 CDN). You can drop everything off at any MAC store for forwarding or send it directly to the processing department. Within a few weeks you will receive your card and you may begin using your membership benefits. Providing you with the products, information and service you need is our ongoing commitment.

non-members can still purchase PRO items in person or via phone, however they are not entitled to the PRO discount.

Hi Kala,



Thank you for your email.



I can't say that there is a specific age requirement, but in order to be eligible, you would need to meet our

Professional criteria.



You must be able to provide your proof of profession, along with your Diploma/Certificate in the area for

which you have applied.



Please let me know if there is any way that I may further assist.

Many thanks,

Lorraine

I faxed my app in with my business and comp card. The charge showed up on my account the next day and I got my card about a week and a half later.

Does anyone know if there's a spending limit? I know MAC employees can only spend a certain amount a year, but what about regular PPID members?

Anyone know what they say if they don't approve you? Do you get your money back?
I'm going to apply using my business card and resume (I think).

M.A.C. employees can only spend a certain amount?! I never heard of that!? Really? That must suck.

To my knowledge all PRO items are valid for discount. The items which are not are (generally) holiday sets, and some limited edition items (such as those with special packaging).

Ok.

I do make-up for special occassions. Have a buisness card and I could get references. Plus I just started selling Mark by Avon so I'm a Beauty Advisor. Hopefully this will get me my card!

Does anyone have the fax number? I couldn't find it on the site.
Also, can Pro discounts be used at counters, or only freestanding stores?

Are you attempting to fax in your info? You need to recieve an application first- the fax number is on the application. The email address to write to so you can recieve an application is in the first post of this thread.

MAC PRO cards are only valid on the MAC PRO site, via the MAC PRO phoneline, and at freestanding/PRO stores.

I have an application, I downloaded it off the PRO site. The fax number is really on there? I thought I checked, but let me recheck.

edit: there's a number to call them but I don't see anything that says it's a fax number. Maybe I'll call their CS and see if I can get a fax number.
