The next day I sent my boyfriend to the store at FV because they started taking the email and he got me one there. They took his name and address to put him in the system and scanned the lipstick. The next day we drove out to Plaza Bonita to browse the mall and I sent him in to the MAC store there to see if I could get another one. I instructed him to just give them a different name when they asked so he wouldn't show up in the system as having already got one. Yeah, I know I'm terrible but it worked. Took his "name" and address, put him in the system again and scanned the lippie. So now I have three haha. I hope this helps anyone confused about all this. |

Especially if so many of the stores, (especially FV) seemed so confused about this email, it doesn't seem like it should matter if your in that store's computer...It seems like they're just trying to control the spread of this printout. |
