    ? MAC Pro membership

    I am trying to obtain a MAC Pro membership so I went into MAC today with a copy of my adult entertainers license, and a hand written letter on my club's letterhead. My club isn't fancy and doesn't have a printer or anything, but it says on the letter to call if they have any questions. It states on the application form all you need is two examples of professional identification. The women in the store was extremely rude to me and said I needed 3 examples of identification like a pay stub. I explained that I don't get a pay check I pay the club to work there, which she couldn't grasp. She exclaimed that she had never seen that type of application before. She took my app and is going to have the manager call me tomorrow b/c they have certain guidelines and can't just let anyone have a membership. I was really excited but now I feel really bad about the whole thing. Did any of you have problems like this?

    No, I had TWO forms of ID. My "business card" and my head shot. I got my Pro Card in the mail within 4 weeks (or was it 6?).

    Submit it to the main office. And report that woman. That's just rude.

    You only need two forms, if you're not sure if what you have will be accepted email [email protected].
    I got an answer from them even before I logged out of hotmail. And defiantely report that sales rep.

    I took in one of my dancer's licenses and a contract from one of my feature gigs. They approved it no problem without any attitude over my profession. I got my card in about 4 weeks.

    I totally agree with reporting that sales rep. No reason for her to be a bitch to you.

    First off, I want to say I'm sorry this happened to you. I really really hate when SA's are rude, especially at MAC. It does not even list "pay stub" as one of the proofs on the application!! I applied with 2 forms and so has everyone else I've encouraged to get it.

    Second, I am going to post your OP on Specktra (the MAC goddesses) and ask them the best way to deal with your complaint. MAC really does care about customer service and has been known to send free products to customers who voiced their complaints! So it's definitely worth it to report the incident, maybe they'll give you something free to make up for it. I am pretty sure they are going to tell you to email the store manager AND corporate, but I want to be sure first. I will get back to you in a few days with their suggestions. In the meantime, what store location did this happen at?

    Third, I do not advise you to apply with a handwritten letter. It just does not look official. PM me and I will photoshop you a letter to send in. I also advise you skip applying in store. Priority Mail the application, a money order, the letter of employment, and copies of your dance license and drivers license to corporate. Most stores hang on to apps for a few weeks and send them in all together. If you mail it straight in to corporate, you will get processed and receive your card faster. The only time I advise you to apply in store is at a Pro store b/c you can use the discount same day before you actually get approved. But it sounds like the girls at your store are idiots so I suggest you apply for your pro application and deal with the complaint separately.

    So I will get back to you in a few days as far as how to deal with the complaint. PM me so we can get you your discount super fast! I just need some info from you for the letter. And how sweet of your manager to hand write you a letter for a makeup discount! Most places have a generic letter where they just type or write in the name. I'm surprised a club manager would go out of his way for something like that, you must work with some really nice people.

    Don't be sad, I promise you will have your MAC Pro membership shortly!!

    LatinaRose, thanks for the advice on mailing it in. I have my app from the MAC store and they said I could bring it back to them, but not if they're going to sit on it for a bit.

    You can always ask them how often they send these applications in. My store waited until they had x number of applications or 2 weeks...whichever happened first. Then, you can ask when the next batch is going. If you would be the last one needed to send it in or if the 2 week "deadline" would be today/tomorrow, just leave it there and let them overnight that stuff themselves.

    I just mailed mine directly to the main office. It was just faster that way, for me.

    I just called the Corporite Office. If you don't require a license to work where you are, then they still need two forms of employment verification. So I'm going to send them my employment verification letter from work with the club's letterhead on it and a business card. I needed to get some business cards made anyway. They'll accept these. I'm also gonna mail mine directly to the main office.

    So if you do require a license then you can send a copy of that and an official club letter and/or business card to them? I think thats right. I'm going to MAC today anyways.

    Its awful that people treat us this way when they find out that we are strippers. Like its a big deal or something.

    That's right, but I think they require two documents as well with other professions that are elgible for the discount.

    To those that need to make biz cards:

    I used a computer program and printed them out at home. They accepted it just fine.

    Update: I turned in the app. on Sunday and the manager, who was much nicer than the SA, mailed it in next day air on Monday. So check with your store because it might be faster than sending it in yourself. I hope I get approved

    Best of luck! I might talk to the store manager at my shop, too, about the mail in. She's super nice and gave me her card if I ever needed her help with anything.
