Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

It just seem like most of us Rouge member is the only one having issues here from the comments below! i tried calling the customer rep and they couldn't even send me email again! it frustrating!

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

Never got a code.  But in my case i was told by a customer service rep and a supervisor that I wouldn't be getting one at all.  Not one of my rouge perks.

Did buy some things elsewhere though.  And some gifts elsewhere....

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

I didn´t receive it, it will be great for yesterday´s order, it doesn´t matter now, though. 

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

Still haven't received anything in my email or my mailbox yet about this, though reading all the comments its the norm. Sephora really dropped the ball on this one. Looks like I'll have to call the rouge line tomorrow and place an order that way, since it seems like a lot of people have had good luck with that.

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

Well, 10am that the Rouge line told me to wait for has come and gone (unless they meant 10am PST) and I still have no email.

 

Yet, ironically Sephora had no problem sending me another promotional email today about their stupid MERRYMINI promo.

 

Thanks :S

 

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

LOL same here. No rewards card, and I got the MERRYMINI promo email today. Its like I got every single Sephora email and they just skip the rewards card one which happens to be the one that cannot be shared.

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

No email or snail mail for me yet either... just some back in stock emails and a couple of promo emails for me this week 😞  I was thinking... if everyone gets a unique code anyway why can't they just put it directly on our accounts so we can use it when we sign in... people could print it to take in store if they prefer and I'm sure the customer service reps would be happier to have less calls to deal with lol 🙂  ... another thought, I wonder how many of us without codes this time around had received the $50 gift credit after the last rewards situation??? 

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

Interesting thought. I got my code on the 2nd and I never contacted them about missing out on epic rewards. I tried to redeem points but everything went too quickly, I figured that was luck of the draw. 

 

They might be better off to not have rouge at the rate they are going. People would be ticked about that too (not to downplay this because it is pretty bad, especially what happened to meganlisa). The only thing I think I would miss is early access to some stuff (if I can find it). 

 

 

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

I could've sworn in previous years it was available like that... but maybe I'm mistaken?

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

I thought so too... but then I thought I must have remembered wrong because they don't do it anymore 😄  

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

When I fist saw a Sephora e-mail in my inbox I thought "finally the reward card promo is here!"...nope, it was the same MERRYMINI promo you mentioned. Unreal. Sephora has been a $h!tshow this year.

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

I'm not getting the merry mini emails...I wonder if maybe that's why I didn't get my gift card via email.

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

It is so frustrating that instead of getting their act together and improve the service, They are messing up the things which were running smoothly in past. First mishandling VIB sale and now this Reward card thing. 

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

I called customer service yesterday and no only did the wonderful representative assist with my holiday reward but she entered in my order over the phone and I hit Rouge (both a YAY and OMG what did I do this year feeling lol).  Definitely call Customer Service for help if you haven't received your holiday reward card yet.

 

Of course this type of thing shouldn't be happening in the first place, it's not as if this is the first year for the holiday reward cards you know.  Sephora seems to have been rife with all sorts of issues this year I can see why some folks are moving to Nordies out of frustration. I am just hoping things get better.

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

As of today, no mail/email. My mom got hers on Wednesday. I emailed, no response. I PM'd on FB, and they said all remaining cards had been sent out today. Still nothing for me!  I wound up going to my local store, and the cashier said they don't have access to this info. However, she still gave me the discount, but it felt like she was making a big exception for me. everthing worked out, but it makes me wonder.... Why push/market a loyalty reward program which touts itself as rewarding your best and most loyal customers, enticing customers to purchase more to attain these perks, then fail to follow through on one of the best perks of the year?  I guess I'm happy everything worked out, but this was just a disappointing experience. 

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

Please be sure to fill out the store survey, showing appreciation and gratitude for the good service you got there (citing specific names in the comments if you remember them). My local store is wonderful, and they sure appreciate that I take the time to do the regularly. I suspect good reviews make a difference.

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

For those of you who still haven't received yours, I would definitely recommend calling customer service. I just did it and they were able to create one for me and apply it to my phone order, plus the SURPRIS3 promo code.

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

I appreciate the suggestion, but that only works if the item you want is available online.

 

 

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

Yes, that's true. Thankfully what I wanted wasn't OOS, but I know a lot of the items are. They really screwed up this sale!

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

I called last night and told them I wanted to go to a store and they put a note on my account and told me to have the cast member call them and verify. Before you start bashing sephora make sure you try all ways possiblr they also got to me via facebook. And sent me it that way as well. 🙂

 

Re: 2015 Holiday Reward Card - BI, VIB & Rouge

Thanks jadeanita, but I think having called the rouge line several times, reaching out on FB and getting no response as well, I am allowed to have whatever opinion I like.

 

if they want to offer rouges a GIFT, a person should not have to ask for it
