MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

[hello_kitty]

Letterhead takes about 2 seconds to make...

I wrote a letter and contract for a MUA once, so I took my logo that I normally watermark my photos with, and stuck it at the top of the Word document. Under that centered my address. And wa-la! Letterhead!

It is really frustrating to read this thread about them accepting a business card and a contract that can easily be faked. kwim? How else is an independent freelancer supposed to get in? Plus we're paying them!

Not only that were paying them we put money into their products and our advertising products glad mine was accepted best of luck!!!

just call before you go.

over the past weekend i needed a few things, but hadn't received my card yet. i called my local Pro store and they were able to look me up in the system to see if i was "Active" in the system. i was able show photo ID at the register and started using my discount.

I wish I would of know that I would of bought so much then.... I asked MAC's toll free number and the pro line and they both told me no.

But I did only pay for one of the thing and got the other 6 free from B2M's I had.

Thank you! I sent all of my stuff (again) last week, fingers crossed!! Prom and wedding season is coming quickly!

 

[Tat2dbeauty07]

I know I have a wedding lines up for next month my brothers boss is getting married and his future wife got wind of me being a makeup artist for when I did my sister in laws wedding and she called me up yey! then my friends daughter goes to prom and asked me to do her makeup when that comes up so I will be doing that to.

 

[dnelson]

i am so confused...
I faxed in all of my application stuff and got a call saying my ID was too dark, that I needed to resubmit it.
So I faxed it all in again, on Thursday and today (Monday) called to verify that they received my application. The person I spoke with told me they never accept application via fax. So I called back later and spoke with someone else who told me the same thing and also told me I wasn't in their system at all... wth??

 

[Tat2dbeauty07]

They told me that to they were like why did you fax it how did you get our number I told them it was publicly published and she transferred me to the department that receives the faxes and they were very nicd helped me with my application the first 2 or 3 times mine didnt come in right but my final attempt I checked on the following day to find I was approved.

It looks like they didn't get it...but the guy said to call back tmm and talk with the person who told me to re-fax it to begin with. GAH!!! I'm so anxious.. I just want it already!!
I have a CCO about two mins from where I work, but they never have anything great... haven't been in awhile though... hmm....

 

[Tat2dbeauty07]

My CCO has some neat goodies I got the seductress look in a box set, the graphic gardens palette, perfect topping msf and lavender whip lipstick.

You can call and do a follow up on your application I faxed mine in and it arrived in a little over a week from the time they told me I was approved. The whole process took under 2 weeks for me.

 

[Tat2dbeauty07]

Can someone help me find the brush belt does anyone know where it is off hand on the pro site. I think thats the first thing going in my order I need it. It will keep my brushes so organized for when Im doing makeup instead of having my brushes scattered out.
