Birchbox February 2014 (SPOILERS)

[thinkpink7l7]

Just to clarify, the magazine is a 3 month sub. 12 issues.

Oops! Thanks for the clarification! I read 12 issues and automatically thought, year long subscription. But it is in fact called US Weekly for a reason! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So I was just able to sign up with the code (although I NEVER got an invite) and I also got 210 points?! This sounds terrible, but I wanted to go shopping anyway and this is perfect! LOL Now I can get 20$ off!

 

[thinkpink7l7]

I just signed up with the USWEEKLY100 code and wound up getting 200 points out of it as well...

I used my second account to sign up as well--the gift subscription just ran out in January--and I got the 200 points! What a great deal!

So I was just able to sign up with the code (although I NEVER got an invite) and I also got 210 points?! This sounds terrible, but I wanted to go shopping anyway and this is perfect! LOL Now I can get 20$ off!

Yay points!! Tempted to get a third subscription... I think I have a Birchbox problem.

Don't give me any ideas!!!

I had a 3 months discount so I got a mystery sample pack, the shea terra black soap (been reading such good things), the klorane dry shampoo (works better than any i've ever tried... good for a freshen up, but I don't think I'll skip washes regularly still), and the beekind lotion (so moisturizing and the lotiony feel goes away SUPER fast, which is perfect for work when I have to touch so much money/product). All for $14 after using points! Weeee

HAHAHA this is what I pictured when I read this:

 

[hazeleyes]

Just signed up for another account and also got the 210 points with the code! 

 

[magsatron]

This will be my 1st BB, I'm excited. I also got 210 points

 

[Lorenk]

Ah I just signed up yesterday, if I had known, I would have waited until today, and hopefully gotten the extra points. Although we have no way of knowing if it will get retracted from those who did.

If its their mistake, which it is, I doubt they'll retract them. Their CS is pretty good when it comes to mistakes and such on their end.

You ladies are giving me all sorts of bad ideas about getting a third subscription! Maybe a gift from my husban for vday?

On the Victoria's Secret topic

FYI, I always read through my spam before I delete it, sometimes actually relevant emails end up in there. 

Well, if everything in there was true, I would have gotten $100 in gift cards available for me from VS.

Of course, I also would have a million ways to enlarge my penis, and many, many single females around wanting casual sex...(Yes, I'm a heterosexual female)

& don't even get me started on the Senior, Christian, or Black dating sites I get emails from...none of the above apply to me.

A) NEVERMIND! I just had to use my referral link instead... yay 3 boxes! I wonder why BB tolerates so many blantant repeat boxes?? Just the $$?

B) I got my second January box from the US weekly order... I have my profile set as sensitive skin, natural/organic, high income.  
 

I got:  

CS Revealed palette (may not keep this -- I really need a black, but the other colors don't add anything to my collection).

Dr.  Lipp (third time I've got this, but the sample was MUCH less filled than my other two....)

Gilchrist & Soames Shampoo/Conditioner -- Will probably trade this.  I don't love the ingredients and I'm SWIMMMINNNGGG in travel sized S/C.  Has anyone used this??

Reviver Wipes -- I like the idea of these, so not upset to have two.

I really want to third box to compare profiles!! 

C) I wonder if there are so many deals on sub boxes right now because a lot of people are on no/low-buys, and probably cancelled a bunch of subs?

You're probably right, I was thinking along the lines of other companies (such as the EM orders with an Ipsy code that mysteriously got cancelled...)

But it's kind of unfair for those who signed up properly on another day, and didn't get the same perk.

If you already have an account you can just refer yourself with another email address.

Go get another box to use the code for one extra month then cancel, at least get the 210 points out of it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

For some reason it says this e-mai address isn't eligible -- perhaps I'll just use a different one....

 

[hazeleyes]

Just wondering how long we have to use the promo code for the US Weekly subscription? Like if I have 2 codes but want to wait 3 months until the first one is over, then use the 2nd, do you think we can wait that long?

Oh dang, have you ever used it before and then canceled with it? I'd just make a new one specifically for the subscription /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[chaostheory]

A couple things: I signed up using the us weekly code but I also entered my email Into the website separately. I got emailed a code to redeem for the magazine but I cancelled out before finishing. I went back to actually do it and it says the code was already used, so, not going to be getting the mag I guess. Also I don't understand entering in my credit card again/paying for the February box? Aren't I already a subscriber? Do I pay twice? Super confused. In other news, I thought I had signed up for the February box, but I signed up on jan 25th and it said a ship date of feb 3. Surprising to me, I received a January box TODAY! No shipping email so I was so surprised! I actually will use all the items so I'm happy /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It seems BB thinks I had already sent a referral to that account...but I used a referral link instead and it worked!
