My email with my # came in after I already had received my card itself. your best bet is to try going to a local freestanding mac store and telling them you had JUST been approved for MAC pro and ask them if they could please pull up your file. your PPID # is in customer file so they should have no problem giving it to you, you will just need your ID to show them that it is you they're giving the info to. You can also purchase things with out your card being present at a freelance store too BTW, again you just need to show your ID. So if you want to go shop crazy stop by a freestanding and you'll get your discount still.

I was thinking of mailing it in because I am going to Toronto next Wednesday, but I wanted to give it a try and fax it, she got the fax within 10 mins and put it for processing. I just apologized to her and said I wasn't aware that they didn't accept faxes. She said I was lucky because they accidentally saw it there. But she said it's okay and will process it for me. This definitely beat mailing it in and paying all that extra postage and waiting for a reply.

I didn't want to annoy anyone at MAC HQ and was afraid that if I faxed them my application, they would put me on some "list" (crazy, I know) and then deny me. But I faxed it on Monday, 6//7 and I saw the charge the very next day. It took about another week for me to actually get my card in the mail, but it's definitely quicker than through the mail. |

wow I just checked my Bank account and it shows that MAC took out the $35 from my checking account, that was fast! Does that mean I'm approved?

Hi ladies,
Just wondering how long did it take to receive your pro cards in the mail?

My MAC pro card came yesterday. It only took a week and a day to arrive from the time I was approved. I went to MAC yesterday morning before the mail came and my pro number was in their system. I took the number from my receipt and logged in macpro.com. A few hours later, my card was in the mail. Doesn't take that long.

Do I need to go get my pro number from a store before they send the card? Or will getting that number just allow me to access macpro.com before I have the physical card?

You should call your local mac pro store and ask them if your info is in the system. They will tell you yes or no. If it's not they will call corporate and they will allow you to purchase products even if your number isn't in the system as long as they've approved you. If your number is in the system, they probably won't give it to you over the phone as they require photo id in the store. Go to the store. If your number is in the system, it will be printed at the top of your receipt. You can log on to macpro.com with the number. If not, you'll have to wait. I received my welcome email this morning at 5 am. I received my card on friday. Shouldn't take too long. So, if you really have to purchase something, for now, go into the store, but call ahead.

Ok I'm a bit confused on the purchasing guidelines
No more than 3 of the same item or 24 products in the transaction.
No more than 8 of the same item for discontinued products
No more than $500 per transaction, per day
The 8th Im going to gu buy 4 msf's 3 stereo rose and one soft and gentle
It says no more than 3 of the same items they are all msfs but only 3 are the same color.

They really need to break this down better. And also, thank you for posting this I've been a pro member going on almost 2 years and I was NEVER made aware they changed the purchasing policy because it used to be different. But good to know there is no longer only 2 transactions per week rule or $5k cap.
ANYHOW.
The only rule that hasn't changed is the 3 product rule and it is not based on the product. So it's not like, I am going to a freestanding store and want to buy Pro Pans for my palette and they'll only let me purchase 3 eyeshadows. So example, I am going to go buy eyeshadows I can buy how every many Pro Pans as I want as long as their different sku's (each color has it's own sku #) so... like, I decide to buy Satin Taupe, Honey Lust, Humid and Freshwater. I bought more than 3 and that's fine. Now if you were trying to buy 4 Pro Pans of Freshwater, that's where you would only be allowed to purchase a maximum of 3.
So you ought to be fine buying 3 of the 1 shade and 1 of the other. But keep in mind it does look suspicious if you are purchasing 3 of the same product. If it's wipes or something disposable along those lines it's not so much sketchy, the employees understand that if you're a I think they call it Rate 1 (the 40% off), those are thing's you use regularly. But if you're buying 3 of the same eyeshadow or blush and you're a makeup artist than it is a little weird just because if you're a makeup artist you tend to have an abundant selection of product to in your kit. So why by so many of 1 thing? I've had it happen before where I've bought 2 of 1 item because I got one for my personal use and 1 for my kit. And nothing was said. But I have bought 3 of the same item and was nicely suggestively asked why I was buying so many, haha because 1 was for my kit, 1 was for me, and 1 was a back up.
