For me, it was a day shy of 3 weeks after I sent. But I heard that mail to Canada can take a week, so one of those weeks was taken up by the mail. I got impatient and gave the customer service number a call, and they told me I was approved. That same day my credit card got charged. That was on the 15th of this month. My card arrived in the mail on the 22nd, a week later. I didn't get my email welcoming me to the program until today, after I had already used the card. So I was one day shy of 4 weeks from the time I dropped my stuff off at the post office to the day my card arrived in the mail.

I'd suggest doing what I did, and many others do, and give a call to the number and asking for the status of your application

The number can be found under "Enrollment" on the MACPro site.

The guy that helped me on the phone says it can take up to 6 weeks to be approved, just to warn you.

Ok I'm thinking about applying for a pro card I workas a freelancing makeup artist so I qualify for the pro discount

Can you use MAC gift cards on the Pro Site I asked a live advisor on maccosmetics.com and they said no but I read different in this forum. I have a gift card but rather wait to use it till I get my pro card.

Call the pro number do a follow up on your application make sure it was received they will tell you if its pending or not if you have to resubmit something.

I know I had to resubmit my id because they wanted a darker image.

Still waiting on mine also keeping my fingers crossed.

Wanted to update eveyone on the status of my card...

I faxed my application in on monday tuesday it wasnt received refaxed my fax got cut off faxed again called to make sure the whole thing was recieved they couldnt confirm because the department the accepted faxes closed at 4:30 called wednesday at 9:30 am so yesterday and the lady checked my application she said it was received and my card would be out in 2-3 weeks. The charge appeared on my card last night so it pretty much took 2 days for my card.

On-camera talent can get a card, but you need to have a headshot and resume or something like that, which I don't. I host a nightly web show and do my own makeup, but it looks like Mac doesn't accept website links. Am I outta luck?

MAC Pro Comp Card?

Hey all. I'm finally ready to apply for a MAC PRO card!! I'm choosing to send in a comp card and a business card. I went to kinkos so they could print it out and I didn't realize that he had placed it in the middle of the paper, so when I cut it out, it comes out to less than 5 x 7 (a normal comp card size).

My question is, should I go to walgreens and use my USB to just print it out as a picture? With the glossy finish and whatnot? Or should I go back to kinkos and try this out again?

Thanks for your help!

Re: MAC Pro Comp Card?

Girlfriend i told you there's a white border around it!!!

each side has 1/4 inch of white border, and the top and bottom have 1/16th inch of white border each. Unless they specifically print it on a 5x7 paper, you're going to have the same problem.

I wouldn't really trust walgreens for their quality, try kinkos again now that you know the dimensions.
