Are you joining Sephora Flash?

[dexteroni]

I got an email today from Sephora about their new Sephora Flash shipping plan.  It costs $25 a year and you get free 2-day shipping with no purchase minimum. I don't know whether I want to try it. It would be nice not to have to make a $50 minimum for free shipping, but on the other hand, I don't exactly have to struggle to reach that amount.  Two products and I'm pretty much there. 

Are you joining? Or if you didn't get the email yet, would you join? I can't decide.

[Deleted]

I'm not... I usually only order things online for fun or when I'm starting to run low so I wouldn't care about 2-day shipping. And very rarely do I spend less than $50 (sadly).

[agnes]

Nope. Most of my online purchases would be more than $50 so it wouldn't be MM for me.

[KaraOrNot]

I didn't get the email, but I am tempted. The Sephora in my town is small and doesn't stock everything that I am looking for. There are times I want to order one thing, but don't want to spend more to get the free shipping, so I end up not ordering. However, this could lead to more spending. I am torn!

[Kore]

Hmm. I almost never order from the website because I'm impatient & my purchases are often impulsive. If I only want one thing, I'll just not order before I'll pay shipping or add shit to get up to $50.

I'm tempted, but I think this would be bad for me. Being able to impulse order random $20 shit all the time is not MM

Considering how I abuse Amazon Prime I don't know that this is the best idea.

Exactly When ordering online, anything under $30 is practically free in my head, so it's very easy to pull the trigger. Again and again and again.

[awkwardpenguin]

Yeah, this would be a disaster for me. If I only want one thing right now, I make myself walk over to Sephora or just don't get it.

I didn't get an email about it. I'm a VIB, too! Insert "don't you know who I am?!?" Reese Witherspoon style.

I wasn't invited, either. Maybe we don't order enough online?

I do at least 75% of my shopping online. Those jerks.

[halfpint]

I didn't get an invite, and I'm fairly certain I pay at least one Sephora employee's salary by myself with the amount of crap I purchase.

I wouldn't join, mostly because I don't think I've EVER spent less than $50 per purchase at Sephora. Even in store.

I need to add that neither of the above statements make me proud.

[dexteroni]

The link they sent me also had a space where you can "request an invitation" (lol). See if this link works:

[KaraOrNot]

I just put my email in your link and it said they would email me when it is open to the public. I wanna know what you did to get the exclusive invite! dexteroni

[dexteroni]

Nothing, I swear! The email just showed up one day. I certainly spend some money there, but not an inordinate amount. I'm sure it was a random selection. Or maybe they excluded the heaviest users so they don't bankrupt their program sending 5 packages a week for free. lol.

I third the jerks comment. I got no such email.

Me either. And I'd like one because Sephora is an hour away and they don't stock everything I want in store either. I often want to spend $30 and call it a day.

[jennistarr1]

I think this is making her want to join! Just so she'll have it over us!

[lizard]

Like everyone else I rarely spend less than $50 AND my orders always come within just a couple of days every time so I must be near a distributor. It's already very gratifying.

Totally! I'd order one $25 lipgloss repeatedly before I'd order two at once to hit $50. It's just different, psychologically.

This is why I'm poor.

this is why I don't want to join. amazon already makes it too easy to instantly gratify myself. I don't need sephora to jump on board too!

lol. I had actually forgotten about it until I saw this post bumped. I'm not doing it; I can always do it later if I really want to, but I doubt I will, for the reasons I and pretty much everyone else listed. 

[mfluder]

Just got an invite (out of the blue I didn't request one).

Why am I tempted???

[mfluder]

And I'm a sucker. I signed up. Even though I had to call to do it bc I had a problem with the site.

[mrst2]

I got an email about it today. I actually think I will do it. So many times I want something I use regularly and I don't need to spend $50, but I want free shipping so I go looking for stuff I might want. I always end up buying tons of stuff that I could do without. Plus I've never even been to the Sephora in our city because it's not close to me at all.

It's not going through for me either.  On the phone with them  now.  

[Deleted]

Spend under $50? Does not compute.

[polarbearfans]

No. I still see that as paying for shipping and I usually don't have trouble reaching $50. I have access to two very nice sephora stores and a jcp one. I only order online for my banks rewards program. If I didn't plan well I can always stop in a store to get what I need.

[mfluder]

The main problem here may be that amazon prime has killed me. And I want everything I buy here immediately.

I just bought a $12 sale item that I've had in my cart with nothing else for awhile. I guess it makes it a 37 sale item now, but i can pretend ship is free from now on lol.

[happilyeverose]

This is off topic but I was just curious if any of you ladies that received a $15 off $50 reward card that isn't planning on using it give it to me? I would really appreciate it. My mother in law loves perfume so it would help me get her a gift. I hope I don't sound douchy. Thanks.
