LOL In all, over the last 12 months I've earned probably close to 3,000 ($300) in Birchbox points. As you can see the points are what kept me going with them because the potential to earn hundreds of dollars in free products is there. So even if the samples are horrible a person can still earn 10 points per review. I encourage everyone to REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW their products because 100 pts = $10 and you can save and stack those points for bigger savings. The ONLY draw back to the points is that I want to use mine BUT there's nothing I want. I wish Birchbox had more foundation choices and more products like Ulta or Sephora to choose from but it's fine, I have time before my points expire.

Nope. Points are strictly redeemable only on products not subscriptions.

if the anniversary codes are predetermined by account factors, i'm a person who doesn't purchase often from BB (have only made one purchase so far, with my points and anniversary code) and i have a month to month account.

Oh my word...that's a lot of points!!!! I'd be excited if I can get up to 400 and not spend them lol..will try and wait, maybe splurge around Christmas..

I've started a new thread on the discussion of Anniversary codes.

Thanks to marybbryant, CaliMel, and TallCoolTexan for your feedback regarding age demographics on your Birchbox profiles. I ended up changing my age to 25 from 28, so we'll see what happens. Thought it might be fun to try /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just upgraded to an annual.  But...I'm not so sure it was wise now!  

I did it to get 110 points.  I figured if I'm paying $10 a month, I may as well get the points for it.  BUT...now I'm not sure if I'll get the 3/6/9/etc promos.  This would have been my 6th month and I was all ready to shop!  

And it looks like you can get an extra 100 points if you wait (see Zadi's post)...

So if I could do it again, I'd stay monthly until later.  But too late now.

 

[zadidoll]

You only get the extra 100 pts on your anniversary upgrade which essentially makes it like you got one month free to start with.

Oops. Typo. It should be 1,500 pts ($150). I'm actually at 1,310 pts. It's through referrals on my blog when I talk about Birchbox (I don't use my referral link here on MUT since it's against the ToS) as well as reviewing the products I get in my monthly boxes. I've been sitting on my points since December 2011.

1500 is still a lot of points as well!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have stainiac in Homecoming Queen and Beauty Queen. As far as lip/cheek stains go, they are awesome! They are like benefit's benetint, posietint, and cha cha but cheaper and better ratings. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I would love to get Prom Queen and complete my collection.

How unusual that the NEW items have not been loaded onto the site yet. Has anyone gotten their shipping notice? Usually there are a FEW people on this forum who has gotten one.

 

[JessicaMarie]

Am I the only one that's sort of happy there are no spoilers yet? I really want to keep my box a complete surprise this month, but I know I have no will power. However, this makes it a lot easier. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
