Yes. A few days ago.Was it really recently that they changed the policy about not being able to buy gift cards with points?

I just pre-paid for my September box using BBSTORE100. It works on a monthly sub. Non-clicky truck for August was there under Account Settings, and the Cancel Account option was finally back, so I unsubbed and resubbed w/the code.Here is a code I got with my store purchase. Not sure if it works for unsubbing/resubbing though. I have a yearly sub, so I can't do that /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. and I refuse to get 2nd account, especially now, that they did away with purchasing gift cards with points...
Glad to hear it worked for you! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />I just pre-paid for my September box using BBSTORE100. It works on a monthly sub.

What a great idea! Ok best argument I've heard so far for keeping a second account. I may have to join your second account SS points stock-up after my no buy.Worked for me too!
I've decided to save all the points on my secondary account for my Secret Santa giftee, and the ones on my main account are MINE ALL MINE MUAHAHAHAHAHA...
And there's really no point in saving up for a huge item now that we can't flip to gift cards, because the points will always expire first. SO everytime I build up 400 points, I'll find the nearest 20% off code, pick out $50 in items and a mystery pack, and start it all over again!
I've been doing that since Jan 2010 when I joined BB. Only I base the purchases around the biggest % off. I aim for 25% or I wait it out. With two accounts I get a nice order every 2-3 months. I never tried the giftcard rigamarole since I was so pleased with my strategy.Worked for me too!

It might just be where you're in that awkward break of time where there aren't a lot of anniversary codes (the longer you're with them the more spread out they seem to be i think?) i've been doing the unsubbing, resubbing thing for like the last four months and I just got a 30 month anniversary email the other day..@@gypsiemagic I stopped getting anniversary codes once I started unsubbing/resubbing each month, but there's always a 20% code around SOMEWHERE, and I figure the extra 100 points is worth more than a higher % code! But yes, total agreement on the nice box o'stuff every few months! I'm in LOVE with Caldrea soaps, but would never pay $10 for a handsoap. Free with BB points, free shipping, free mystery pack? Yes please!
According to my sources, your next one should be "21andcounting" :]Oh very true! Just checked my email, the last one was a 16-month code sent Mar 26th. Never mind, I may just be in a dry spell! There were so many at first!
BAHAH. They know how to drive us crazy.That extra 1% is going to mess up my Cart Tetris :bringiton:
Same here with the caldrea! I could not see my self buying one at target, but I just bought one with my last BB order!@@gypsiemagic I stopped getting anniversary codes once I started unsubbing/resubbing each month, but there's always a 20% code around SOMEWHERE, and I figure the extra 100 points is worth more than a higher % code!

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but, can anyone tell me about Birchbox Aces - how do I tell when I obtained the status - when my anniversary date is? Has anyone received any good ace goodies?
