Does anyone else have trouble re-subscribing when you have store credit? It's so frustrating...

I have $90 in store credit from a past return, and I am trying to resubscribe my monthly account. When I check out, it won't give me the option to use a credit card because it assumes I want to use my store credit. Then when I go to confirm the order, it tells me I can't because a sub requires electronic payment. Even though I HAVE a CC on file, it doesn't give me the option to use it. Last month I had to call to resubscribe and felt a bit of judgment from the CS person because I was clearly cancelling/resubscribing to get 100 points.

That was probably confusing but it's hard to explain... Ugh. I will probably have to use my credit on something I don't especially need in order to sort out my account. Annoying. I wanted to save it for later. 

 
Is this true now because I've unsubbed and resubbed last month and only got 1 box last month.  I just prepaid for the next month and I don't want 2 boxes in 1 month on the same account XD
I have cancelled and resubbed 3 times in the past 6 months, and every time I get a random second box towards the end of the same month.

You can check yourself - if you put a new monthly sub in your cart it will say the day it is shipping.  Today for example it says that a new sub will start shipping Nov 20... even though I already have received my November box.

I also read on the site somewhere (of course can't find it now sorry) that if you sub before the 28th of the month you will get a box that month, after the 28th you will get the next month.

IMO this is why they don't do something to stop this -- because if you are paying $10 for a second box that month anyway you are spending the 100 points so you are not benefiting in any way.

eta:  If you wait til the 1st of the next month to resub then of course you don't get an extra box and you do gain the 100 points without spending the extra $10.

People who cancel and resub more than once in the same day-- I can't speak to that one, never tried it.

This never happened to me, I've canceled and resubbed each of the last three months.  The cancellation/resub usually took place between the 4th and the 10th and I never got a second box in any of those months.  I always had a clicky truck before I canceled and resubbed, and usually (but not when I did it on the 4th) I already had my box in hand.  I canceled and resubbed last week and the only tracking information showing in my account is for the shipment I received on Saturday.  Every resub happened within minutes of the cancellation, too.  I don't have a shipping date showing up on either the account I've had for awhile or the new account I just created on Saturday or Sunday, only order dates.

Not sure why things are different for different people.

ETA: I just went and checked the past few months of my credit card statement.  I'm only getting one charge per month and it corresponds to the day I cancel and resub.

I thought that you can only get one box per month per account?

 Hmmm... so weird.  If you put a monthly sub in your cart does it say "this will ship Nov 20"?  That's what it says for me....

Mine said this will ship Nov 18 but that was for a new account.  Now I can't find the Nov 18 anywhere on that account (actually placed the order over the weekend).

 
20BACK will give you 200 Birchbox points when you subscribe to Birchbox Man.  So if you were planning on spending money at Birchbox anyway... you can get a Birchbox Man subscription + the Limited Edition Mass Appeal box + a pick 2 pack for $25 out of pocket. With code 20BACK you'll essentially be getting 250 Birchbox points after you do your reviews for the box.

eta:  I forgot to add the 25 points for the original purchase so 275 points y'all!

If I add a sample pack and use a KSS code, there is no way to add a % off?

New to this game, asking the experts!

I got Birchbox man when they had some code to get it 1/2 off in June (then got stuck with July, too). This sounds even better. When does this promo end? Birchbox for Men is going to bill on November 15 for the December box, right? I don't think I want a November box.

When you first subscribe, the date it gives for when it will ship is 10 days from the day you place the order for the subscription. When I was unsubbing and resubbing every month, the boxes usually shipped on the 5th day after I resubbed every month (January to July 2014) but really it can be up to 10 business days because the Birchbox shipping calculator doesn't count weekends.

 
For anyone that signed up using the 20BACK for a men's box did it add the 200 points right away to your account? I got 25 points for the order (men's box  + $5  Limited Edition Mass Appeal box) but the 200 points didn't show up. It shows that I used the 20back code on my order confirmation. Wondering if I need to e-mail them. 

Never mind I found the details that they will e-mail a unique code that will allow me to redeem the $20 later.

Oh oops. Lol, I had the same thing happen only I e-mailed.

 Yes this is my experience.  When I unsub and resub I get a box about 10 days later, in the same month.  Hence, the 100 points is a wash b/c you get charged the $10 a second time.  Unless you unsub and wait until the following month to resub.

That's not how it was working when I was doing it. I was usually unsubbing and then re-subbing immediately, pre-paying for the following month. There was only 1 charge and 1 box per month. I would wait until after my box shipped, sometimes longer. I do think they may have changed it now because others have described what happened to you as well. It seems like it may have started in August. I'm not sure because I prepaid for my August box on July 10th and now I'm on a gift sub.

This is how I was doing it, too.  Always waiting until after my box shipped and then canceling and resubbing immediately.  I have done this at least 3 months in a row with no duplicate boxes.

Same here. As soon as my box ships, I cancel and sign back up with a code. I've been doing this for quite a long time...I'd say 6-7 months now, and I've also never received 2 boxes in the same month. I even double checked with Birchbox and they said you will never get more than one box in the same month if you cancel and then change your mind and resub, for instance.

Thanks for posting this!  I decided to jump on this as part of a present for my husband!  After I hit submit it shows the CEW box as "SOLD OUT" so not sure if I will get it.  Will be happy to get extra points!

 
Also can someone provide me with any current codes? I want to compile a running list for myself so I can keep track of which ones I've used. thank you!! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
