MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

[ash10spro]

ill make sure to let you guys know! I emailed them earlier, now all im waiting for is a reply. =)

I mailed in my application last Friday from Colorado. I hate waiting, I'm so impatient! lol I sent a business card and a copy of a contract with a client. Do you guys think that will be good enough to get approved?

 

[kariii]

woo hoo! I sent a bridal contract I have for a wedding in two weeks; a letter of recommendation from a client I did a wedding for this summer and my business card of course along with the app! Wish me luck!

Thanks, about how long after they recieve your application do they "begin" to process it?

thanks

Fierce, congrats on getting approved!

I'm going to call and email them tomorrow to see what's going on. Yesterday was 4 weeks that I sent my app so that's more than enough time for it to be processed. Wish me luck ladies!!!

Oh my gosh 4 weeks??? That's so long! It's only been a week for me and I'm so impatient already haha. I hope you find out what's going on!

ARGHHH! Im having such a bad time applying.

I am working as a model so I ticked that box, and I called up today and the advice they gave me was Pants.

I am sending in a biusness card, a copy of my driving liscense, and probally a list of websites I am on (My modeling agencies). As im back in the UK and do not have many references over here to write me a letter. Will that work?

My situation was a bit messy, so they allowed me to fax over my information. I'm not too sure how or when the processing actually starts but I can tell you that once I faxed over my info, it took exactly 2 weeks for them to charge my BF's Visa card and 6 days afterward to actually receive the card. Hope this helps!!

I just want to thank everyone for their helpful posts, I finally received my Pro card this past Saturday and made two big purchases already....eeeek!

 

[Liz2286]

I called today to check on my application. I was told that I was APPROVED!!!! They're going to make my card and mail it to me so I should get in 2-3 weeks she said. Hopefully I get it sooner!

I'm so relieved. I was dreading the possibility of being denied and then having to go through the whole process of reapplying. Luckily, it all worked out and even if I get it in 3 weeks, I'll still have enough time to buy what I need for the group's performances.

Thanks for your advice ladies. I will let you know when I receive it.

YAY!!!!!!

Now comes the wait for the card LOL i emailed, as suggested, for the number, but still no reply. Wonder if I should call and ask for it - you think they would give it to me? Probably not huh?

 

[Liz2286]

I've read on here about several ladies who have called to get the number. I didn't ask for it when I called yesterday because I prefer to make my purchases in the stores. It's never the same MAC experience when you shop online.

 

[christinatron]

I emailed them about my application and they said to call the processing department next Tuesday to see if I have been keyed into the system. I'm so nervous lol. I hope I get approved!

 

[ash10spro]

i sent my information in a month ago, and i havent heard anything. So i called the processing department, and they said my information hasn't been keyed at all. So i guess im going to have to try back next week to find out anything. I just hope i was approved, and they didnt misplace any of my documents =/ if not, i was told that i should resend.

I can't believe they still haven't received your app!! I say you ask if you can fax it like I did (the process is sooooo much faster!). That way, you don't have to wait another month!

 

[ash10spro]

i sure hope i can fax it! I'm going to wait a week more and see if it turns up then. if not, i'll call and ask about faxing =) thanks for the help!

Can you use a gift card for a macpro.com order? There wasn't a space for it, but I just wanted to make sure.

I emailed CS, but since it is the weekend I'm thinking the response will take a while.

Thanks!

I faxed in my renewal info for my student card 2 Fridays ago, was charged that fallowing Monday & my card came in the mail today! I thought that was quick!

 

[coachkitten]

Lucky you Allison! Enjoy your pro card!

 

[Liz2286]

I got my Pro card today!!! I am so excited that I think I might go ahead and use it tomorrow. There's so much stuff I have to buy...Finally after more than 5 weeks I got it!
