In regards to VIP status...I joined Memebox in mid July, by the end of the month I had purchased several boxes, and on August 1st I received my Congratulations VIP email. So it kicks in at the very beginning of the month after you reach the 5 box requirement.
However, Memebox apparently counts value sets as only one box. So if you buy 3 singular boxes and a value set with 2 boxes, you won't qualify for VIP status.
