Very true. I didn't think of it that way. I know I'd be ticked if I got a pouch and others got something better.
Based on the reply I received from Birchbox (on Facebook) when I posted about getting the bag it sounds exactly like they are sending them out in batches and that all Aces will receive one. I don't understand why people automatically assume that if they didn't receive one yet that means they are not getting one at all?
They have said to customers: "Please know that we plan on sending our gifts of gratitude will go out on rolling basis to remaining ACES members. We think half of the fun is not knowing when or what you will receive. Sounds like your monthly box doesn’t it?"
Oh I wouldn't mind something other than the pouch, I don't even know what I would use it for. Except probably give it to my mom for her coupons. Then again anything else that I can think of that would be something similar I wouldn't want either. I do appreciate the gesture though, this ACES program is shaping up nicely even despite the warehouse issues. I'm in no rush to receive my stuff and if I get a bunch of sorry points out of it, I think I'd rather have that than my orders and boxes be "on time".
I'm wondering if this is going to make it harder or easier for me to hoard my points. I just reached 501 thanks to two 7 item boxes in a row and seeing them sitting there is making it mighty tempting to spend them! lol
You might already know this, but you can review things before you get your box - you can pick the "have not tried this sample" option, tell it you haven't purchased, etc., without actually filling out the review section, and you still get the 10 points. And then you can cancel an account even when the box hasn't arrived, with no problems reviewing items or anything.
Tempting but I'd rather have a points code. I cancelled my other two accounts waiting for one. Come on Birchbox give us all the points.
Thanks! I'm on monthly and I was on the fence about staying another month to see if those Ruffians pop up for June. Might as well stay for $5 and then I'll have another $10 in points. It let me cancel and then go right back in and sign back up with the code.
I doubt that matters - you can technically become an Ace without ever subscribing, if you purchase $500 worth of items in the BB shop...I doubt anyone does that, but the Aces program is not tied to being a BB subscriber, just to accumulating 500 points in whatever way.
@@Shauna999 posted a promo code to get a $5 first box. Usually there are 100 point codes floating around too. I only get one box, so I don't pay attention to them that much
