I for one, want to say THANK YOU to PS for offering a deal that current subscribers can take advantage of. For those you complaining about it being sketchy or mean or whatever:
– The discounted pricing equaled about $175. Let’s just pretend you have to throw out the entire contents of May. Well, that still equals about $35/per box. Still a $5 monthly savings from the base pricing.
– The reality, you do NOT need to throw away the contents. You’ll still receive the $130 worth of May items, too. Which can be used for swaps, sold, given as gifts, or also used. I, for one, am perfectly happy to receive another body buffer because I loved it, another foot treatment to use in a couple months, some back up mascara, etc. So, if you refuse to see the $$ value in receiving a second box (which would mean each box was only $29), then at the very least, you should accept that you’re receiving a $5 discount per box + a ton of free stuff that can be used in a number of ways.
– Popsugar is not responsible for giving us discounts all year. A coupon is just icing on the cake. They have clear cut price points, and they sometimes offer incentives to keep subscribed or become a new subscriber. Again, they aren’t required to offer discounts – so when they do, it’s not “mean”. It can’t be. It’s extra.
– No one is forcing anyone to use the coupon. No one is forcing anyone to buy a package that includes the May duplicate. If you don’t like it or it doesn’t feel worth it to lay out for 6 months, simply don’t opt in.
Personally, I’m stoked! I planned to continue anyway, and now I get to do so at a savings + get a free duplicate box with stuff I loved.
