Here are the men's promos:

Sign up for an annual subscription ($195), and you'll get 390 points—a value of nearly $40—to spend in the Birchbox Shop when you enter code YEARLYMAN195 at checkout. Opt for a monthly subscription ($20/month) and you'll get 40 points to put toward full-size purchases when you enter MONTHLYMAN20 at checkout.

Hoping the women's are the same...if anyone has the Woman promo codes, please share!   
I got this email, but there were no codes.

  When you upgrade to a yearly Birchbox subscription, you get more than 12 straight months of beauty discovery. Even better? You'll get your first box free, plus 110 Birchbox Points for being so awesome. Sign up now, and you'll knock one box off the price of your subscription.

I just got a notice that my order for the four-pack shipped, so I hope it comes.

Hello! This might be a dumb question, but... I was just sent a Birchbox invite to join, and I saw this board with promos. I could get the US Weekly promo to work, but I'm not sure about its purpose... It gives points for the Birchbox store? Is that a nice amount of points? I've heard their point system is awesome, but I'm just starting to look around to see everything that they offer.

100 PTs -= $10 in the shop. You can spend it now or save it. So I have 610 points - it'll give me $60 in the shop! Every review you do for an item in your box will earn you 10 points. You may redeem in increments of 100. So if you had 300 points and $21 in your cart, BB will use all 300 points -- not 200 and let you pay $1. However, if you had $31 in your cart and 300 points then you can get all that stuff for just $1 out of pocket! Points are awesome.

Thank you for breaking it down for me! The point system does sound like a great feature! 😊

Interesting.... so you really get screwed out of 90 points in your first example? I didn't realize this . I have 830 points saved up. I have yet to cash any in. This is good info. Thanks.

You can purchase gift cards with points. They can be purchased individually for $10, $25, $50, $100 & $200.

For example with your 830 points... you could purchase a $50 gift card and three $10 gift cards.

(I havent tried it, but I would assume a $25 gift card would take 300 point, if that is true it is a major flaw in the system IYAM)

Then you could spend say, $71 in the shop and end up with a gift card with $9 left. Hello no more wasted points!!

You don't have to use *all* of your points for an order, so if you have 800 points and only want to order $50 worth of stuff, you will get to retain 300 points.  But if you order $50.01 worth of stuff, Birchbox will take 600 points.  If you have 600 points, you do not have the option to use 500 points and pay $0.01.  Yes, one penny over means you will lose 100 points.  This is why Birchbox veterans say to order in precise increments of $10 if you're using points.  Also, Birchbox does weird things when you use both points and actual money for orders and then have to return something, so I always urge people to use only points *or* money for an order unless absolutely necessary.  I rack up sizable point balances because cart Tetris to get *exactly* the right amount can be a royal pain, but points do expire, and they don't send warnings or note how many points you will be losing soon, so be careful about that!

Yes, a $25 gift card would take 300 points.

The last time I checked $10 gift cards were no longer an option. I think they did that because they caught on that people were transferring points between accounts. A $25 gift card would require $30 worth of points technically so you would either have to add a $5 item on to your purchase or eat the $5 in points

I just bought a $10 gc tonight.

This is why I love makeuptalk, there are so many knowledgeable people on this site. 😃

Physical gift cards that they send via USPS start at $25.  Electronic cards that they send via email start at $10.

Whoops...then I totally stand corrected! I will have to dig deeper on the site because I could not find the $10 gift cards when I looked yesterday.

Its in exactly the same place as the physical gift cards. Took me a second to find them too though. If you look directly under them you see this, here's some  screenshots:

I was able to use the US Weekly code, but I signed up for a new account via the US Weekly link.

I used the USWEEKLY100 code tonight and signed up for a new sub that was referred by my first sub so I will get the extra 100 pts in my second sub and 50 pts for the referral in my first sub. It says my box will ship out after Feb 2nd so I will probably wind up with a repeat January one and not a Feb collab box but who knows since I did not use the US Weekly link. I used the referral link.

If I joined BB right now, is USWEEKLY100 the best code to use?

Yup! It gives you 100 points right off the bat and you get a US Weekly subscription. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thank you! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm thinking of subbing to BB and ditching Ipsy for the next few months! The points are calling my name.

No problem! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> This is a great time to join because the February box should be amazing! (hopefully, lol)
