Do they send you an email once they charge your credit card?????

I didn't get any e-mail, Im just gonna wait for my physical card to arrive. So I can create my profile on the site and check the events and all of that! yay!

wtf?? So Im checking my direct deposit, cus its payday and um the charget for MAC is gone??! Like its not on my pending transactions..thats so weird... wtf is going on? ugh.

What bank do you go through? I go through Bank of America. It always shows my pending transactions and when they clear, they get moved into a different list.

I bank with Wells Fargo and the same thing happened to me--it wasn't for the $35 Pro card charge, it was for a separate MAC shopping spree I went on.

First the charge was deducted and when I checked back a day or so later, it was gone! Strange. Then after about 3 days, it showed up again...I never contacted my bank or MAC since it was resolved but still, it was weird! I think this happened about 4-5 months ago...can't remember the exact date though.

I bank with a private credit union, and the thing is the actual money is still missing and its not on my posted transactions or on my pending ones either, its just missing $35 now.. Ill give it a few days cus I did see the charge and it showed :

MAC*COSMETICS $35

so yeah weird. Hopefully I still get my card this week. I need it.. :/

Hi everyone! So I'm trying to get my MAC PRO Card. I'm a Freelance Makeup Artist, and I have the application form already, but I'm not too sure what to send in. I have my Business Card, but I know they need a 2nd proof, but I don't know what to send in?!?!?! ahhh!

I've read that some people sent in their Resume with a "Head Shot", does it have to be professional??? But I've also read that some people sent in a letter of reference from one of their past clients? And if I do send in a letter of reference...Do I just send in ONE? or should I send in more than that?

Someone please help!!! Thanksssssss!

p.s. I'm new here...what exactly does FOTD stand for??? hehehe..

I sent in my business card, three photos I shot, two letters of reference, and a copy of my ID. The two reference letters were just people I had photographed. I also sent in a personal letter on my letterhead. It just basically told them alittle bit about myself and my profession.

Since you're a MA, you can send in photos of work you've done, a letter of reference and your business card. You can send as many reference letters as you want. Lol.

HTH

FOTD=Face of the Day

I'd suggest the same stuff as Stephie Baby. When I applied, I sent in the following:

business card
copy of my ID
editorial page that showed the bride I did makeup/hair on, including photos
letters of reference
bridal MUA contract

I was paranoid about providing enough info--probably didn't need to include all of that stuff but better to be safe than sorry. It was about a 3-4 week turn around time before I received my card. Hope that helps you some!

You're welcome!!

Does anyone know how long it takes for you to receive your card once they charge your CC?? I want my card now!! Lol.

Hi Stephie! I know the feeling, lol--I remember calling and pestering them ALOT while I waited anxiously.

I got my card 2 weeks after they deducted it out of my account. I think turn around time really depends on where you live, obviously. I live in Cali and they ship snail mail from Canada I believe...
