Birchbox subscribers- no more points for reviewing items in your box!

Very disappointed to read this. Their point system was one reason that had kept me with them for as long as I did. You still will get points for buying stuff in their store but still. Oh and also, your points will expire in 6 months.

The points basically made the boxes only $5 (sometimes ony $4 or $3 depending on how many items you got in your box!) which was a good deal since most items I didn't even like/use, lol.

Oh well, more money saved every month!

I just read the email. 😕. I am not sure about my renewal next time. I think expiring points at 6 months is shabby. You are right about the points for reviews. Why even bother reviewing items.

I am canceling then. The samples are so small I never feel like I get my $10 worth and only stayed subscribed for the review points.

they haven't requested my opinion in a while! lol

the super goop finishing spray I tried this AM is sticky icky!!! (spf 50)

I'll stick with the Coola primer from the last box...

Incidentally the June box by comparison to last month is pretty 'meh'

@Andreatoo My gift sub finally ran out and I haven't subbed for the past few months. I would sub if I liked one of the sample choices we can pick but none have been of interest or I've already gotten a million times so no thanks.

I am going to use up my points and then I am done until I get a coupon code, which they rarely offer anymore and when they do, they are usually only 10 or 15% now. Sad how much they've changed.
