Yeah. It's saying I only have 287. That's bogus. I earned 150 points just from January of this year until now. I am waaaaaaaay qualified for this if we're going all the way back until January 2013.

Mine is only showing my points for this year and did not say I qualified until after I received the e-mail, so there is still hope.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oh sure *now* they send me the Aces email.  Thanks, BB I already got it figured out.

It actually says at the top that I've "earned a spot in the program," but then it's only showing me the points I've earned this year. I think it does have to do with the email. Unfortunately, my stupid school's shut down our website from last Friday until tomorrow, and I have Birchbox set up through my school email, so I can't see whether or not I've gotten the email. -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Okay, I added a random-ass item to my cart just to see if I'd get the free shipping, and it says I qualify. That item is NOT an item that qualifies for free shipping this month, so now I know I'm an Aces member. On a similar note, this free shipping on any order thing is going to get me into SERIOUS trouble, ahhaha.

Bahahaha this is exactly what I did.  It was like "you're an ace!"  I was like "no no no no no, as much as I do, I do not want the Oribe Texturizing Spray!!"

i wouldn't mind at all if the only other perk to being Ace was that pick-2s never go out of stock /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i got an ace email on my main sub (since Nov 2012) and on my secondary account -- the one i cancel and resub whenever theres a good promo. I've only had that one since Jan 2014!

Better yet, if it was automatic like with Sephora's 3 samples, instead of having to add it to your cart. Even better if they can let us choose from a list like Sephora does!

It's odd since I got it on my account I just use for promo's and not my main account. I guess the extra 100 point perks for re-subbing have really added up.

So when I used the SFBB100 code yesterday it didn't work, but it did today...not sure why but 100 extra points? Yes please

They used to let you pick your pick 2 but when they started doing mystery, everyone started choosing that one!

To be fair, if I recall correctly, one of the big reasons everyone started going for the mystery pack was because Birchbox would have two or three set options that people weren't particularly fond of, and then they added a mystery pack option to the list, and it's a lot more tempting to go for the mystery that might have a Laura Mercier lipgloss or stila eyeliner when the known set options are things like a Goop sunscreen and a cleanser in one set, a Juicy fragrance and a tanning towel in another, and a bar soap and an eye cream in a third.  (And you couldn't pick two items from a list to get, say, the cleanser and the eye cream.  You had to pick from the pre-set combinations, so if you *really* wanted that hair oil, you had to take the nail polish you already have three bottles of.)

I want to cancel my sub & renew for the 100 points (I haven't done that at all yet), but I just got my email saying I secured a silver eyeliner for my box this month, Idk if I would lose that.

I got the Sumita Eyeliner in Black in my Glossybox in February 2014. Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it. Its a great quality eyeliner, very soft and smooth. I wonder if I will get it in my box from Birchbox. I am not sure if it means its really that color that is shown in the picture, what do we think?

Can we move the Aces talk to it's own thread?  Mods: is that even possible?  I love April talk, and I love Aces talk, but what if I want to talk Aces in May?  I'm such a single-threaded person.

Also, is this guy new?  Why have I never noticed him?

I don't think the color in the spoiler pic necessarily corresponds to what you get in your box.  Once the box pages go up the "box" pic should have the right color.

I like all of this comment! Even the smiley!

 

[kawaiiwoofs]

I can't believe it's almost April, guys! My second sub hasn't even gotten it's march box yet >.>

I canceled both of my Birchbox accounts (again!) and then rejoined (again!) a week later.  I just cant stay away from Birchbox.  I wish I had looked at this thread before I rejoined and saw that 100 points thing though.  Oh well...  Next time I will look here first.
