Birchbox BOGO “Extra Box” Deal for $1 – MUST HAVE!

Birchbox is quite possibly the most renowned monthly subscription beauty box. In this post I will show you how to get the best Birchbox deal ever – 2 Birchbox for $1. The BOGO part of this deal does not last very often. If you miss BOGO then it might be worth waiting till next month.

But First Do You Wish to Support TravelinPoints?

we get $5 credit

thank you for using our link

If you answered ‘yes’ then do signup through our referral link above but do NOT buy the box yet. You will later use portal to buy birchbox. I only need you to create an account through my referral and later shop through the same account.

Things You Need

DROP: referral code nk3q7 – both you and I get 1k points ($1)

BeFrugal: https://www.befrugal.com/referral/?ref=RRMOZQG&s=5

both of us get $10 if you earn $10 cashback within 1 year of joining

This section is for novice churners or those who don’t churn credit cards at all. If you don’t know what churning credit card is then you’re in the right section. Anyway, you will need to 

1. choose a shopping portal of your preference
2. create a Drop account

In order to choose the portal (1) that best suits you, go to this  this cashbackmonitor page and checkout how much various portals pay you for shopping at Birchbox. As of writing this article the the portals that pay the highest for shopping at Birchbox are:

1. Befrugal – pays you $5
2. British Airways – pays you 500 pts

Now that you have decided upon a portal, the next step (2) is to create a Drop account. Drop is a rebate-like app that allows you to earn points on various brands of your choosing like Uber, Lyft, Wallgreens, and Dunkin. They also run signup promos for various programs like Birchbox, Boxed, and Hellofresh. The offer that is relevant to this post is as follows:

• earn 4,000 points when you subscribe to a month to month subscription  <- best offer
• earn 5,000 points when you subscribe to a 3-month subscription
• earn 8,000 points when you subscribe to a 6-month subscription
• earn 12,000 points when you subscribe to a 12-month subscription

Stacking and Maximizing This Deals

Stacking this deal is rather simple:

1. Make sure to activate Birchbox offer in Drop prior to buying a box
2. If you created a Birchbox account through my referral (thank you) then make sure you are logged into it.
3. Then use a portal of your preference (say BeFrugal) and land in Birchbox page through the portal
4. during checkout use code EXTRABOX to get a free extra box

Maximizing is a YMMV part since everyone has a different preference:

• If you want to get the most out of this deal then you ought to choose the best portal. A churner will likely choose 500 points over $5 cashback but points may be near useless for non-churning crowd.
• You could choose month-to-month subscription, receive two box, and cancel subscription, thus netting 2 Birchbox for $10-4-5 = $1.

What is in BOGO? (Section Added on 5/18)

The extra box will be shipped with the main box, but the extra box will be inferior to the main box. It looks like the extra box will often have leftovers from previous boxes. In other words, while this is a “extra box” deal, this isn’t truly a BOGO deal. Also, my extra box did not have a paper slip naming the item and their price tag.

Closing Thoughts

This is a simple yet no brainier deal. I detailed it out for the non-churning crowd.
