I'll be going for mine as soon as my business cards are done and will let everyone know if I had any problems.

Yup this is true. It sucks

You can also use it over the phone/online as well

Yep you can!
I see haulage in your future

Hey all,

I just read this whole thread and was surpsied to see how much trouble you guys have had getting the pro card!

I applied for mine only a week ago and got a letter yesterday saying I had been approved and my card would be sent out to me shortly!

I sent in a copy of my business card, copy of my certificate and my abn number for my makeup business. I'm certain you dont need to send a portfolio in or anything like that.

Also I have a copy of the Australian form if anyone needs it. Just pm me your email address and I can sent it to you. Its a PDF file.



And yes it is only 30% discount here (i say 'only', but really, 30% is amazing.. hahaha)

I am soooo happy to know that you can use it overseas! I am going to Hong Kong in December and they just opened a pro store there

MAC is already ridiculously cheap over there so with my PRO discount it is going to be haul time!!
