Re: mac pro
You cannot buy it over the phone. You have to send in a lot of information and they have to verify it. You actually DO have to be a professional to get this card.
Here is all you need to know :
To enroll, simply fill out the M·A·C PRO Membership application, provide proper professional documentation and a copy of photo identification with your annual membership fee ($35US/$45CDN). You can drop everything off at any M·A·C store for forwarding or send it directly to the processing department at M·A·C PRO MEMBERSHIP, PO Box 435, 3219 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario M4N 3S1.
Here is the link to the Application for the united kingdom
