My Exlusive Spa: 5 FREE Samples!
UPDATE: Deal is DEAD!
Wow! My exclusive Spa is offering up 5 FREE samples to new members! Just go on over here and add 5 samples to your cart, then use the coupon code mem5 when checking out. Your final cost will be FREE– with FREE shipping! Yay!
Please note: I’m not sure if there is a glitch in their system or what. When I placed my order I ended up having a negative balance, which seemed strange.
(Thanks, Free Sample Freak!)
It looked like that new member code provided you a $10 credit and the samples are already a reduced price so five samples, plus shipping and handling didn’t even bring it up to $10 and gave us a negative balance which means we didn’t even have to pay anything for shipping! Pretty sweet!
me too! hope their is no glitch in this one..live in illinois
Strange…I was able to add about 13 samples and my total was STILL -$9???
yeah i was able to add 14 samples and the total was negative 55 cents after shipping!! SWEET!! Thanks HIP!
This is what I received upon check out: The coupon you attempted to use is a one-time-use coupon, and you have already used it on a previous order, therefore we cannot accept this coupon again.
Hope u guys were lucky!
Thanks! I don’t think there is a glitch- I sure hope not!
I don’t think it’s working anymore for the free shipping. I think they changed the coupon from $10 down to $6, so then with the shipping tacked on, you end up having to pay $2.
I got free shipping and managed to score 38, YES 38 free samples plus no shipping! YEAH!
I got mine with free shipping and the -1.80 balance!
they are now charging shipping. But I added 5 samples and still was negative 1.80 with the coupon. So, I didnt have to pay anything.
i just scored a makeup brush and 18 or so samples. Thanks for the code. It took off $30.00!!
I just ordered 35 samples, at checkout it didn’t ask for any payment info since I had negative balance. This is too good to be true. We will get email cancelling.
I got 21 samples. It gave me a $20 credit. Final was -.10. Hope it works.
I ordered 7 samples (each at .65) and then I had a $4.50 credit ..wonder if they’re doing that so that you have money on your acct to order from them? I’m excited by this! Thanks for the info! I need some cleansing products!!
Thanks again H2S!! You rock!
Woot woot! 21 samples for nothing!
I am getting charged shipping and I only put in 5 samples
You get $2 credit for each different sample minus the price of the sample. Some are $1, others are .65. Order 10 at .65 , you end up with -$13.50. Then you can order anything under that price. Remeber to leave $4.95 for shipping to keep your order free 🙂
I ordered 20 samples (all showed as $0.65) and got a $40 credit. i then purchased the Bare Escentuals Get Started Kit priced at $39 (everywhere else the price is $60). I hope this will work, but I’m afraid it will get cancelled like the Korres deal.
This is crazy. No matter so many companies are going bankrupt. Don’t they test their systems before they let them loose? Oh, well, in the meantime, we will enjoy the free samples.
I figured it out. You can only add one of each item in the cart. If you add more than one of a type of item, it won’t take the $2 off for that item.
everytime I try to add to my cart…it says there are no items in my cart. Frustrating!
i was able to purchase more than one of each sample. i got a $28 credit! wow! thanks.
I think Anony above me is Correct “You get $2 credit for each different sample minus the price of the sample. Some are $1, others are .65. Order 10 at .65 , you end up with -$13.50. Then you can order anything under that price. Remeber to leave $4.95 for shipping to keep your order free :)”
I ordered EVERY sample, ended up with an $86 credit and then got mens shaving gels and lotions totaling $40 for FREE!!!
Make sure to select EVERY sample, it will give you free money to shop for real stuff in the store.
i got about 15 samples PLUS their full sized tanning lotion (~$7) and still had a$3 negative balance even after the $4.95 shipping. The more samples you add, the more credit you get. But adding 2 of the same sample takes away some credit. Strange, but good for me!!
I tried doing this and after I added 5 samples, it only gave me a $5.00 credit and was charging me shipping. I am glad it worked for others.
I think they fixed it. I had my total to -114.00 and was messing with it. Now the most it will give me off is $5.
Samples now seem to cost $1; and when you add in the code it simply takes $5 off your total.
they just fixed it!!!! i added 20 samples and i still have a 50 credit so i was being greedy and needed more items and now i only have a 5 credit. oh well, i didnt need anything
How the heck are you guys doing this? I only am getting charged actual prices here! I added all samples, but it still charged full amount plus shipping? Please save some for others and don’t be greedy!
All samples are now $1 and all they are taking off is the $5.00 new member discount. I missed out again.
To the people ordering many samples this is why these deals get pulled. Have you ever heard of staying under the radar? I mean, really, it would be nice to get 35 samples for free but do you really think for a minute it’s fair to the next guy who simply wants to get a few? My guess is these are the same people who try to buy 30 or 50 or whatever of one item and then get upset when limits are enforced. You may not realize it, but you are ruining future promotions for yourself and everyone else by taking advantage of the situation.
Anon,
I feel the same way. When I first started couponing I felt I had to get a zillion of everything and was very greedy. Now I have seen changes and realized that I may have contributed to this. I am glad that I read this blog because, in a small way, it keeps me acting ethically. Anyway, sorry for the downer for those who did not get any. I did order the 5 free or whatever.
This is so odd. It looks like everyone is getting a different deal. I got a $5 credit. The shipping was going to be $0.45 for 5 samples so I just got 4 so I didn’t have to pay for anything. Thanks!
The credit is now only for $5, but if you only choose four samples, and select “sample shipping,” the cost for S&H is only $0.45, so the total will be $4.45, leaving you with a -$0.55 balance. Woo!
I wonder if this deal works for only certian zip codes? I tried the deal and I got 5 samples and had to pay .45 cents.
just ordered 5 samples and had to pay .45 for shipping!
This is how someone explained glitches to me once and I haven’t thought of them the same since: “If you stopped at someone’s house and noticed that they accidentally left their front door unlocked, would you think that they intended for you to walk in and take their things?” So, while it feels good to get free things, I always think about my friend who explained that unlocked front door to me. And of course, if you did take things from that person they would never leave that door unlocked again and would probably get a guard dog to keep people away.
deal is dead, says coupon is not valid, i will be very surprised if they honor all the orders!
Deal is dead
mem5 code is invalid
Deal works, you just have to have 5 samples in your cart.
Choose sample shipping (45¢).
Total is only 45¢!
I just did it, deal is not dead! lol. Just had to pick 5 samples at
$1 each. Use the code and then you still have to pay .45 for shipping. eh, I figure .45 isn’t bad because I pay that just to send a letter in the mail.
It’s still work!
Shipping is $0.45 not free..
I just did this and only got 5 samples…my balance was 0.00 and then it charged me .45 cents for shipping…not bad…I’m in CA, so maybe that’s why?? Anyway, glad so many of you got so much stuff….it’s fun to get stuff for free:)
I agree with the open door analogy. I love to get free stuff too but we really need to use it as it was intended. These companies are nice enough to put out these promotions and we shouldn’t take advantage of them. I’ve probaby been guilty of taking advantage too. Extreme couponing seems to sit on the edge of taking advantage. I guess what i’m trying to say is that I’m now trying to review my actions and how they might affect others. I think this company only meant to give us 5 free samples and I think we should respect that. Sorry if I’m a downer but we don’t want these same business going out of business either. That affects us all. Okay, i’m stepping down from my soap box! Lol
Sorry TOTALLY off subject, but does anyone know of a Macys online code? Wanted to order something but before I did, wanted to ask!
Thanks so much,
Tammy
Anon,
Try retailmenot.com
sorry Tammy not anon
jo, if you or any of the other one’s that had gotten more samples you would not be saying anything and you know it.
how do you know that the one’s that got samples aren’t going to buy products from them? you don’t!
hm ,it only took 5 of mine and it did not include shipping charges.
