That would be clever! But I don't think their promo code system is that advanced.
This definitely feels less like a scavenger hunt and more like a race.

I don't think it is either. It would be nice though, and from what I understand it wouldn't actually be that difficult to code.
I agree. It means that people who haven't browsed the Holiday shop at all could end up getting the free on multiple accounts while people who have been hunting miss it, and it means people are suuuper rushed with choosing which products to buy (unless they stocked their cart in advance) and might not be as happy with their purchases.

Hey ladies! I've been so busy the last few days (uh, the holidays, yaknow) so I haven't had a lot of time to catch up on the craziness of this thread! So here's my uninformed question (and I'm so sorry if this has been asked before or explained, etc): how do we know that Birchbox will for sure be releasing another $50 code today? Was it advertised via email/facebook/etc? Or does this seem to be just a super random surprise promotion for holiday shop browsers? I feel totally uninformed without having seen this thread until today!

We don't, we're assuming based on it being released the other days. Birchbox still hasn't even made any comments about there being a $50 off code, its not on their pinterest, but its been up every day of the scavenger hunt.

Are the codes only when you click on a specific product or are they on the "main" page for different sections of the holiday section? Like, can I see the code if I happened to be browsing the main $25 and under page for women or would I have to be on a specific product page from that section? I'm wondering if I'm searching wrong and wasting me time. I've just been going through the different sections, not various products looking.

Nope, not difficult to code. And I agree it would be best if the codes were unique; that way people would be forced to actually browse the site themselves. It would be an even better hunt if you had to click on each item and the surprise was in a particular item on your account. (But the big ticket item was only available during a random time period each day so it was truly a combination of luck and persistence if you found it.)
There are many ways they could have done this that would've probably generated careful perusal of their site. As it is my eyes are just glazing over and I'm looking for big boxes.

It's just conjecture, they've done a $50 free every day of their four day promotion so far, so we're assuming that they'll do the same today.

Then again, they probably don't want to make this too hard because they want people stalking the site.

I think it's a successful promo: after all, who is on sephora.com right now?

This. I am very disappointed in this whole thing in a way though I still am obviously living in hope of finding the code today.

I also assume they've pre-programmed the link to pop up, which makes me wonder if it's by the hour, on the hour, rather than truly random. Do we know the time the other ones popped up?

Same. It's getting them lots of pageviews, but that's about it.

Same. I might send them an email suggesting they change things for next year.
