MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

[babigiggle]

Does anyone know if you can use your pro discount on the Heatherette Collection coming up. I know they say special packaging is not included.
TIA

The only time I've been told that I can't use my PPID was for the Holiday Collection. I'm so used to just handing it over, that I didn't even think. That was the one and only time.

You guys...... I GOT ACCEPTED!!!

I faxed my application on Monday and checked my bank account online and saw a $35 charge from MAC pro today!!

I sent the application, plus a page with a short summary of what I do as a freelance artist which also included a copy of my ID ( Drivers license) and a copy of my business card, 3 references and a copy of a contract I have with a client I'm doing makeup for in a few weeks.

I'm really excited and relieved that I can finally save some money and start collection more items and expand my color options for clients.

Anyone know how long it took for their card to arrived after you saw you were billed?

Hi, has anyone in the UK got a pro card? MA isn't my main day job, but I do some makeup for occasions for friends & family. I have a Media & theatrical makeup diploma & can send a business card too. Can anyone help me with the process of applying in the UK?

Questions?

did they send an email about the getting the pro card? that you were accepted or not?

also about purchasing?

are these for the whole year? or a month? purchase?

• No more than 3 of same item or color up to 24 total pieces
• No more than 8 of the same item for discontinued products

These mean that you could only get 3 of like dark soul pigment in one month right? or e/s? etc?

• No more than 3 transactions per 31 days (1 month) of consistent pigment and glitter skus
• No more than 3 transactions per 31 days (1 month) of multiple of the skus

 

[Ang9000]

I totally don't get this

• No more than 3 of same item or color up to 24 total pieces
• No more than 8 of the same item for discontinued products

Can I get like more than 3 like e/s as long as they are different colours?

No. The only way I knew I got accepted was because I saw the $35 charge on my bank account, I got no email from them.

Sorry I have no idea about the other questions.

Unsure if this has already been asked/questioned; but can you apply for a pro card if you're currently studying make up?!

I am a professional photographer, but I mostly do shoots for guys. So could I send in a letter of recommendation from them, their comp card and my business card??

I am a photographer as well. I also apply the makeup on my photo clients. I submitted a copy of my contracts, business card, photo ID and tear sheets/comp card. I sent them more than what they "ask" for on the application. I was approved with no problem.

So I mailed in my ap on 2/27. (Didn't know you can fax them..darn) I've been turned down before since my 'information didn't match. I contacted someone at mac with my new info and they said it should work just fine! I figured it would take a week to get there, but i'm sooo impatient. Has anyone else mailed their info in? any clue how much longer it takes?

way longer! grrr..my friend that faxed hers in only took 2 weeks, and i mailed mine it and it took like 6-7 weeks...hopefuly yours wont take as long. i sent my stuff in a few days after xmas..so new years etc could have made it lag longer. good luck!

 

[peanut1213]

Thanks giiirl!
Hmm..I wonder if I can fax a new one in instead? Has anyone done that?

I'm sorry if this has been addressed already; but can you use the procard at department store MACs? (i.e. can I use the card at the MAC inside of bloomingdales/macys/nordstorm?)
