M·A·C Lover Loyalty Program (“Program”) U.S.A
FAQs

1 What is M·A·C Lover?

M·A·C Lover is M·A·C’s consumer loyalty program, a makeup-lovers’ cult for the seduced, devoted and downright obsessed.

2 Who is eligible to join the Program?

The Program is available to individuals who are legal residents of the United States (including its territories and possessions) and at least 13 years or older who provide and maintain a valid email address. Individuals who are between the age of 13 and the age of majority in their state of residence must obtain the consent of a parent or legal guardian to join the Program.

3 How do I join the Program?

You can join the Program by signing up with an Artist in a M·A·C Cosmetics owned and operated store in the United States (excluding Massachusetts), or at maccosmetics.com. You will need to provide your name, zip code and email address. If signing up online, you will need to create a password. In order to access certain Program benefits and rewards, you will also need to provide us with your birthday.

4 How does the Program work?

The M·A·C Lover Loyalty Program has three tiers – Lover, Devoted and Obsessed. For the year in which you enroll in the Program, Tiers are based on your calendar year spend on qualifying products and services, commencing with the first date after your enrollment on which you make a qualifying purchase using your Program membership identification number, and ending on December 31 of that calendar year.

After your first year, tiers are based on calendar year (Jan. 1 to Dec. 31) spend. Your status in a particular tier is good for the calendar year in which you qualify for that tier and the following full calendar year (Jan. 1 to Dec. 31). After that, you’ll need to spend enough on eligible purchases to qualify for that tier each year. For example, if you qualify for Tier 2, Devoted, during your first year, you’ll maintain Devoted status during your second year. But, if you spend less than $150 on qualifying purchases during your second year, you’ll drop back down to Tier 1, Lover status in January. The more you purchase, the more covetable privileges you earn and the higher you climb in our three elite tiers.

6 How do I earn Program benefits?

No purchase is required to join the Program. When you join the Program, you are automatically placed in the Lover tier and qualify for Lover benefits.

Some Program benefits require a purchase to qualify for the benefit. Purchases of $150 or more in a calendar year are required to advance to the Devoted tier and qualify for Devoted benefits. Purchases of $500 or more in a calendar year are required to advance to the Obsessed tier and qualify for Obsessed benefits.

To earn Program benefits, you must be enrolled in the Program, you must provide your Program member identification number or email address at the time of the purchase, and purchases must be made on qualifying products or services in M·A·C Cosmetics owned and operated retail stores in the United States (excluding Massachusetts), or on maccosmetics.com. Qualifying purchases include regular priced merchandise and services, and exclude gift cards, sales tax, state fees, shipping charges, delivery charges or other excluded charges and/or purchases specified by us from time-to-time, including, but not limited to, certain charitable products where funds are donated to M·A·C Aids Fund or any other charitable organization, value sets, select premium products and services, and other specified products.

7 Do my tier benefits and tier status ever expire?

Tier benefits are valid for as long as you are in a specific tier. If you move down a tier, your benefits change accordingly.

Each year on January 1, your M·A·C Lover spend resets to zero. While your spending resets each calendar year, your tier status is determined by the amount you spent on qualifying purchases in the prior calendar year of membership. Your status in a particular tier is good for the year in which you qualify for that tier and the following full year. After that, you’ll need to spend enough to qualify for that tier each year. For example, if you qualify for Tier 2, Devoted, during your first year, you’ll maintain Devoted status during your second year. But, if you spend less than $150 on qualifying purchases during your second year, you’ll drop back down to Tier 1, Lover status in January.

8 How long does it take for my purchases to accrue to my account?
