I'm not annoyed that they took the points away ... I'm annoyed that they did it without telling us first. Would it kill them to send a "Sorry, we goofed and we're going to have to take away the extra points" email?

It's a free box and more! You get $15 in credit for using the code (it was $16 when I did it last month but they didn't give you $10 for the order this time... since we took advantage, it seems petty to squabble over $1 anyway).
I'm just going to look forward to the new Ruffian polishes next month. I hope the spoiler was right and it is next month ^.^

One account I had 0 points left in after making a big order, but it still says the upload error and tried to take 100 points away. I hope that this won't retroactively take points away from next month's review points. The other account I had 40 points left and they took those away. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I am SO looking forward to this.

I've stated many times to them with in the past month that all they have to do is send out an email explaining things to their subscribers, like the shitshow shipping mess. They obviously have ALL of OUR email addresses.
I totally agree... they majorly flubbed this one. At least address it, don't assume we're all so silly we won't notice or won't care. I wonder if this will be the end of the 200 pts promo glitches, or if we will all just have to flip to GCs immediately. I had actually assumed the 200 pt glitch was more of an "easter egg" for the loyal fans who were engaged enough to chat on forums like this one, especially since it was going on for 2 weeks!!

wait! I have 2 upload errors so they took away ALL 200 points?!?!
Correction: They took 100 out of the SFBB100 and 100 off the BB100. BUt I was only awarded 100 for the BB100 code anyway!! So I got ZERO points for the BB100 code. WTF?!

I would close that account out and start a new one, that's just rude! Unless you're worried about getting dupe products...

So I have 3 accounts, I usually have 2 but sometimes I activate the 3rd if there's a good promo. For the past 3 months, my 3rd account has been a dupe of one of my other 2 boxes. Has this happened to anyone else? I thought it was a fluke at first but now I think they're just doing it on purpose. I don't mind this month, because I got a dupe of my 7 item box, but is this a glitch or what?

It looks like you have two +200 additions. Was it from one of those?

LadyK
I want to go to there
Tracking shows both my boxes out for delivery. I'm a little worried since no one will be home today until after the mail comes and both boxes won't fit in my mailbox. Please watch over my packages Birchbox gods!
Got my box today. Kind maple pumpkin, Madison reed shampoo and conditioner, cr pencil in silver (thank god. I do not need any more black!), and color club art duo pen in black. I'm actually super interested to try the cc pen. There's a very skinny brush and also an extremely skinny "pen" part. Great for small detail work! Can't wait to play with it!

How do you check tracking on your full size order on your account? Can't seem to find the link....

Does your polish pen have black on black lettering? The ink is either a different shade of black or a different texture, so you can tell there's writing there. But I can't read it at all!

No, the +200 on the bottom was from January or something when there was another 200 point glitch. But I doubt they'd take those back from so long ago. I ended up calling and got the 100 points back.

I just tried to cash out 100 points from an account I had to be safe and it says "under review" when you check on status of order.....
