non-members can still purchase PRO items in person or via phone, however they are not entitled to the PRO discount.

This is the email i got & it said you dont have to be a certain age which is great
Hi Kala,
Thank you for your email.
I can't say that there is a specific age requirement, but in order to be eligible, you would need to meet our
Professional criteria.
You must be able to provide your proof of profession, along with your Diploma/Certificate in the area for
which you have applied.
Please let me know if there is any way that I may further assist.
Many thanks,
Lorraine

I faxed my app in with my business and comp card. The charge showed up on my account the next day and I got my card about a week and a half later.
Does anyone know if there's a spending limit? I know MAC employees can only spend a certain amount a year, but what about regular PPID members?

Anyone know what they say if they don't approve you? Do you get your money back?
I'm going to apply using my business card and resume (I think).

To my knowledge all PRO items are valid for discount. The items which are not are (generally) holiday sets, and some limited edition items (such as those with special packaging).

Ok.
I do make-up for special occassions. Have a buisness card and I could get references. Plus I just started selling Mark by Avon so I'm a Beauty Advisor. Hopefully this will get me my card!

Does anyone have the fax number? I couldn't find it on the site.
Also, can Pro discounts be used at counters, or only freestanding stores?

Are you attempting to fax in your info? You need to recieve an application first- the fax number is on the application. The email address to write to so you can recieve an application is in the first post of this thread.
MAC PRO cards are only valid on the MAC PRO site, via the MAC PRO phoneline, and at freestanding/PRO stores.

I have an application, I downloaded it off the PRO site. The fax number is really on there? I thought I checked, but let me recheck.
edit: there's a number to call them but I don't see anything that says it's a fax number. Maybe I'll call their CS and see if I can get a fax number.
