Need to get in to Makro. But no card, need a plan?

Question

Hi all,

I've seen a digital camera in the Makro mail magazine which I must own, sooner rather than later.

Unfortunately I have been unable so far to penetrate/infiltrate the fortress Makro.

I need a working Makro card (unlikely) or a plan to circumvent the card issue. Any ideas?

I'm sure people must blag it sometimes as I've seen folks go in pretending they forgot their card.

Fyi - the camera is a Pentax Optio e40 for £70.49 inc vat

To be entitled to a Makro Tradecard, you need to be in business or authorised to buy on behalf of a business.

In order to become a Makro card holder we will require some documentation from you.

Companies/Organisations

(1) V.A.T. Certificate of incorporation from Companies House

or copy of business bank account statement.

(2) Two recent purchase Invoices over the value of £50 each.

(3) Personal Photographic I.D of the cardholder.

Self-Employed

(1) Recent correspondence from HMRC (Inland Revenue)

or photographic Inland Revenue registration card

or a copy of a recent business tax assessment.

(2) Two recent purchase invoices over the value of £50 each.

(3) Personal Photographic I.D of the cardholder.

(Please send photocopies only, as we cannot return all your documentation)

Hey you!

Listen, all you need are a couple of invoices saying you are self employed and runa  business.  I am not self employed nor do I run my own business but how I got my Makro card was easy!  I made my own invoices using Microsoft Publisher!!  Bad I know but it worked haha.  I made them, then crumpled them up a bit for 'effect' and voila!

Try it!  If you need help - mail!!

hey, to get in there you have to either own your own business or work for a business, so you could always try and get some one that either works for themself or you work to get one. or try the 'i forgot it' thing, ooorrr you could go there and follow the people infront of you in, pretending to be with them, because i dont think you need it at the check out. good luck!
