Not so. You need to be self employed or run a business, or be nominated by a business.


From their website:

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

REGISTRATION DOCUMENTS required:

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.

I'm self employed and not VAT registered. I got my card by showing them my Inland Revenue Self Assessment form (before filling it in!) and proof that I'd bought spent more than £50 in one transaction at Staples and more than £50 in one transaction at Viking Direct (I bought a printer at Staples and a chair and paper from Viking).

And I guess wave goodbye to much consumer protection legislation.

Also not so ( as far as I'm aware)
They have always been very good at returning/replacing faulty goods, in fact you can take anything back in 28days for any reason.

I have found them to be very good with returns in the past - as long as you have your invloice with you.

Makro are brilliant, and the 28 no quibble returns policy is better than most stores! Remember that if you work for any government agency or public services (police/nhs etc)you can also qualify for membership.
