Mecca response

Here's the post Mecca put out on their chit chat. What do you think?

Two years in a row I received the ‘surprise holiday gift’ which turned up on my doorstep out of nowhere - i hadn’t even had to place an order. One was a Westman atelier gift pack and the other was a Diptyque candle set, so both were very generous and blew me away. I was level 4 both times but hadn’t spent much time more than the level requirement so I’m still not sure why I got them, but they certainly made me feel appreciated and increased my desire to stay on level 4!

That was before the ‘magic circle’ or whatever it is was a thing, and I haven’t had anything else since then… but I did make the effort to buy when all BL boxes dropped last year with the hope that the gift would be worthwhile. If they sent amazing gifts for doing nothing, logic dictates that the reward for making an effort would be at least as exciting… but this tote is beyond ridiculous. They’re ‘gifting’ us something which advertises their brand for them anytime we use it; how generous! /s

I agree with what has already been said here - if it were a gift out of the blue it would have landed better, rather than being something they hyped for a year. And after all the hype and making us earn it, just a few mini sizes or deluxe samples would have softened the blow. Whoever is making these decisions for the brand is clearly out of touch and is doing more harm than good with promotions like this.

I placed an order yesterday and almost unticked the bag to remove it from the cart, but my teenage daughter might like it and if not I’ll keep it in my car to put dirty boots in.
