Thank you, http://gifmaker.me/exploder/!

I (and many others) did this in March. Eventhough I had to explain it to the CS person I talked to about my gift sub, it works like this: 1 box per month per account. Having paid for March, I unsubbed, resubbed with the promo, and actually just prepaid for April. On any resub, they always charge immediately. It does not mean a 2nd box for the month on that account. So you've prepaid for May and won't be chargrd again until June 1st.

Thank you!

I am thinking about getting this and I was wondering if it is better to do the monthly or yearly? I see some of you do the whole cancel and resub so that means some of you do monthly than?

Yes, I think with how many promo codes they put out for bonus items, and extra points it's better to do monthly. But hey, if you just want to pay for it and not have to think about it for a year, I see the appeal to that too.

Thanks!

Can you still get the anniversary codes even if you do monthly? Or at least if you keep it reoccurring, but if you cancel after 3 months and then resub it would start over with one month instead of continuing from the three month? if that made an sense

You can still get the anniversary codes if you do monthly. They send out 3, 6, 9, 12 month and so on codes. It doesn't start over. I've cancelled and resumed for a promo code, and still got my anniversary code.

Thank you so much for helping me and answering so quickly! 

And now I am off to subscribe

I just signed up for a 3rd account.   My profile for this account is pretty much the same as my other 2, except I made myself 20 years old .  I'm looking at the shady side of 50 in real life - ha!  My confirmation email says my 3rd box will ship on 4/14. 

I had 2 accounts for about 2 years, but then Birchbox just didn't thrill me anymore so I canceled for about 6 months.  All of a sudden in February, I started CRAVING Birchbox again so I rejoined with 1 account, and rejoined on the 2nd account for March.  I loved my February and March boxes!  The old Birchbox magic is back!  I just opened a third account, but I'm not sure if the 3rd account will be an every month thing for me, or if I will just get a 3rd box on occasion.

I'm hoping for an eye pencil in one of my boxes, but I didn't receive the email asking for a color preference, so I doubt that I will unless they surprise me with one in the account I just opened.

Hey guys, sorry for being lazy and not looking myself, but did anyone seem to notice any 6 item boxes? My main account is only at 40 points and I would love to get a six item box just to get that pretty round number of 100!

The color preference only applied to the cynthia rowley eyeliners, so you still have a chance of getting one of the sumita liners.

I have a clicky truck on my main account! Wow that's the earliest ever! Says it's in TN but no other info!

Sad they don't have an app for Android. Might need to install it on my dad's phone.

The app trick doesn't work for everyone.  I have 2 accounts, but neither one has any info yet.  So don't be too sad /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Random question – what's so special about the Tweezerman tweezers? Part of me wants a pair just because, but I don't know.

I prefer to do yearly.  You get the points from making the purchase, plus both times I've been been able to use a code for another 100 points when renewing the annual subscription.  So, for $110 dollars, I feel like I get a good deal.  Basically, it's like buy 11 months get one free. Plus the 110 points from the purchase, and another 100 points from the code, and I do all my reviews so another (10 points x 5 x 12) 600 points. That makes 820 points, or $82 dollars. Therefore I look at it as my annual subscription costing me $28 net.

I just overheard some women having this conversation at Target a few weeks ago! (I don't have Tweezerman tweezers, so I can't vouch for them one way or another.)

The lady who does have a pair was telling the others that it's a splurge, but they are very sharp and precise, and you can send them into Tweezerman for re-sharpening if they get dull. She insisted she hadn't purchased them for herself, but that they were a gift.

Tweezerman tweezers are awesome! The sharpness and the angle of the ends makes them easier to use. I can't really explain it, they just feel different. You can also pick them up at TJ MAXX for around $7-$10! I've gotten 3 pairs from there (mainly because they are so cute, not because they needed replacing)!

Totally agree.  I don't know what it is, but it's just easier.

Tweezerman Tweezers are life changing. I'll never go back to cheap ones. Tweezing your brows is so much easier with them because they're really, really sharp and precise. Definitely worth the purchase.
