This deal will only work for people who haven't had Birchbox for the last 3 month and/or are new to Gilt City. They have a deal for a one year Birchbox subscription and $25 in credits for the Birchbox store for $99 ($135 value) (click on the "National" category to find it). But if you sign up for Gilt City using an invite link (here's mine) you'll get 25% off your first order. If you already have a Gilt account, but have never bought from Gilt City, you can use the code welcome20 to get 20% off your order. You can also get an extra 4% cash back using Ebates.
According to my calculations, this makes Birchbox about $6.50 a month, depending which code you use, instead of the usual $10 you would pay if you were doing it on a monthly basis. Plus you get all those credits.
Ugh, this is really tempting. I was planning to drop Ipsy (getting bored with it) in favor of Birchbox in September once I'm working full time again (I got a job!). But this deal ends July 28. Is that money worth more to me now or later?
All I can say is that I wish this was a thing when I signed up for BB. D: If you can spare the cash at all it does seem worth it though ... $6.50 per month plus $4-$5 back each month in credits, plus the Birchbox shop actually has non-crappy stuff. It's a lot of money up front though.
ReplyDelete(I may have done it. Shhhh.)
DeleteCongratulations! Very glad to hear about the job. =D
ReplyDeleteThis is so tempting! I already have one yearly subscription and I working hard on convincing myself that I don't need a second one. lol
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new job!
For some reason, it never even occurred to me that people have multiple subscriptions to these things until I heard about it a few months ago! I think I have to stick with one.
DeleteThanks!!
Same here,but when I found out that people do that it like "hmm... this sounds like a good idea...", but I must resist the temptation. Only when offers like this come up, resisting becomes difficult, LOL.
