i'm getting all my stuff together to send in my application! so far i have my application, a resume, a blank bridal contract and i am waiting on my new business cards (which are way better than my homemade type ones lol). i called the number and the lady i spoke to said you can't fax anymore, definitely have to mail. so i'm going to xpress mail it, luckily it's just to toronto so it should be there in around 2 days. has anyone from the GTA mailed to toronto? if so, how long did it take for the charge to show up and how long until you received your card?

I have a quick question, this may be stupid and I read the first post on this thread but I don't get the pro's of a pro card part.
Can I use the pro card to order on maccosmetics.com and macpro.com?
Since I don't live anywhere near a MAC store/counter, I'd only be able to order online.

you can order from macpro.com you get free shipping over oders of 150.

Maccosmetics.com has the same shadows as MacPro.com BUT the Pro site has all the additional pro items.

Pros- A nice discount depending on your profession.. MA's get 40% off. Which is nice when you have to keep up with the current trendy colors. Right now I have a professional client who needs to do a special look for her promo pics, I have to buy a few odd things that are pricey.

Cons- You can't use it on Holiday Collections or at any counters. So if you want Color Forms (the latest from Nords) you pay full price. But for me, thats ok, since those colors are pretty much available anyway.

Thanks! ^_^

i know i already posted this, but i was hoping to get a little advice from all of you out there who have received your cards! thanks everyone for your help!!


well, after wanting to apply for months,(or should i say a year) i think im going to get all my documents together and just do it. you ladies and gents have convinced me to finally apply, even though i had an application filled out and sitting on my desk since LAST august... lol i've been freelancing for a long time, and have the following that i want to send in:

photo ID
business card
letter of reccomendation
blank contract


do you all think this is okay? is it sufficient criteria or should i include anything else? help me out! lol =) thanks guys!

__________________

the letter od recommendation has to be from an employer i cannot be from a client they told me. so i sent in to contracts that had my clients info and a business card.

ok. i had a client write me one, but i guess i might not be able to use it then anyways.

__________________

has anyone actually had a client write them a letter of reccommendation and be accepted for their card? i know there are a few ladies on here who sent letters from their clients in and have gotten their cards. please help ! thanks! =)

hi,

i recently gotten my pro card!! YAY! i got a question. When using the pro card..does it have to be at a PRO store or can i got to a Freestanding store and i'll be able to purchase things there with the MAC Pro Card and I am assuming that the freestanding stores might not have the small colors as the Pro store. Secondly, am I allowed to use a gift card with my pro discount? I wasnt too sure and I dont want to feel embarassed if i couldnt.

thanks in advance!

Congratulations! You can only use the PRO card at freestanding stores and Pro stores.. not counters! You also cannot use the discount on specialty releases, like the Holiday Collection.. which is crappy, but hey, i understand.. I've never used a gift card, but I don't see why you couldn't use it..
