I called Barbara who is the head of the MAC PRO memberships (1-877-553-5536) and she said someone called from Specktra and they knew all about me. Also she questioned the heck out of me about ebay too. She also told me I'd never be elgible for a MAC PRO membership ever again. Nice, huh? Moral of the story? Don't tell you have a pro card, not even here. Don't share, don't re-sell (even if it's discontinued, etc...thats against MAC rules) don't risk your discount.
I'm sorry to hear that, but by applying for the card you must agree not to resell and make profit. Quite frankly, to hear you tell your story makes me mad, because a company is generous enough to support make-up artists and then get backstabed by selfish acts. In reality profitdriven behaviour like this makes it for make-up artists /or people with a real need harder to get approved. Besides that Mac has such a generous return policy , that there shouldn't be a need for selling items. I'm personally feel that this is betrayal and if one can't value the contract they signed, they might not be worth to be part of the community. Sorry i don't mean to sound harsh...

You can't exceed the limit as every item is scanned before purchase , so no worries
And thank you for being a person with moral values!

I've read many stories like this on the M.A.C LJ community. Moreso when people resell merchandise purchased from CCOs. And at jacked up prices for way more than what they paid. So obnoxious.| Originally Posted by FacesbyNiki

Re-selling just shows you are out for the ever present $, and thats not what M·A·C Pro is about. Its to help professionals out, and I can't believe anyone would be dumb enough:
1. not to see that in the rules
2. think that would be ok with the company to make a profit off of them with no consequences.
I know thats not your worry, I just can't believe some ppl some times. And the fact she rants about it on here just makes it even funnier.

Out of curiosity, are you allowed to SWAP items if you have a MAC pro card?
