B2M - Read before posting questions about Back to MAC.

Re: Back 2 MAC information - Please read before posting questions about B2M

Last week I've been to MAC counter on Stansted airport in Duty world free area and the MA told me they don't do back2mac there and said they only do it in free standing stores. When I told her I know for a fact that various counters in UK do it, she just shrugged.
Is turning in empties by mail in UK also possible, or can you do that only in US?

Slighty OT but why is this thread in Recs and not MAC Chat? I thought I was in the wrong forum for a minute!

I wasn't going to read through 37 pages, but if is wasn't already mentioned, a MUA told me yesterday that refill pans are acceptable for B2M. Awesome to me!

it doesn't say b2m on the packaging, but the program says any glass, metal or plastic primary packaging, so we take it, cause with the refill pan, the metal is the primary packaging.

I was told at my local counter (Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK) that they won't take some of the older automatic brow liners for back2Mac because of the composition (the mix of things it was made of), but that all of the new formats are accepted.

I have been told different things at different counters too. So if one won't accept something, it's worth trying elsewhere. Like Fasers in Metrocentre (Gateshead) would only give standard range lippy and unboxed, but Newcastle will give you standard or L.E. lippy and you get the box too. Both these counters are concessions, there is no free standing Mac store any where near me. I was told the free standing stores are more flexible but haven't had a chance to try this.

Think it depends on who you get at the time as much as anything...

sorry to say, that's a bunch of BS. you can b2m any glass, metal or plastic, regardless of how old it is.

How do you know if your name is in their database? Is it a specific stores database, or just MAC in general (through the website)..

If it's the first case, does that mean you can't just go to a counter that you've never been to before and exchange empties for something?

you know its in there cause you tell them your info. its only a mac store database. its not online or at counters.

you can b2m anywhere. giving them your info at stores allows you the choice of a lipstick, gloss or shadow as your freebie, instead of just a lipstick. if you don't give them your info, you can only get a lipstick. at counters, its only a lipstick. you don't have the option of the other two choices.
