i just placed my order 😃 yey thank you girls 😃

Re: Beauty Insider/VIB Gift Card Offer - FAQ (December 1-12, 2011)

im having problems with my vib gift card too, a really lovely sephora mod assisted me but im still having issues with the gc (the site redeemed it again without my order pushing through).  A product in my cart was out of stock when i clcked confirm order so it went back to my shoppig cart. When i did the process again, it seems the gc has been redeemed again. its already the 14th and i still couldnt place my order, any chance that the VIB gc will be extended even for a day? i read somewhere that th BI was extended from the 12th to the 13th... i really want to purchse some items from sephora... 😞

I received my $15 off but I just became a VIB so I called Sephora and they said that I had to have become a VIB before November 15. Is that true? From the FAQ it doesn't seem like that's the case.

Re: Beauty Insider/VIB Gift Card Offer - FAQ (December 1-12, 2011)

I would try calling again. They sent me the wrong one, beause i had just become a VIB but my email was messed up, so they gave me 200 free points because they couldn;t send me another gift card

I got the blank code in my email too. I called in to speak with a rep but the rep said, I must place my order through the phone with him. If I place the order onine, I get cash backs and a freebie. This deal is really no deal to me, if I have to place the order through the phone. I asked him if I can place the order online first and call in to get the credit for the next time I order and he said no, and then, he tells me to go to the store  instead. Sephora store is nearly two hours away. The card is the only reason to shop. Another beauty site from drugstore has a similar offer, cashbacks, free tax, and reward bucks for next order. Take a look if you also have a blank card like me.

Re: Beauty Insider/VIB Gift Card Offer - FAQ (December 1-12, 2011)

i just have a quick question!

since I've already bought everything i wanted in the 20% sale, could I give this gc to my sister to put to good use?

Re: Beauty Insider/VIB Gift Card Offer - FAQ (December 1-12, 2011)

I still haven't received my email.  It states by the 3rd.  Should I worry????

NO GIFT CARD!

I have yet to receive my gift card email. I'm in Canada, and it's 8:17 p.m. I've been waiting all day for the email. How much longer should I wait?

I received my email, but there wasn't a gift card #, or a pin #, and there are no online redemption steps listed in my email.

Re: Beauty Insider/VIB Gift Card Offer - FAQ (December 1-12, 2011)

I also received a blank gift card, gave Sephora a call and said they would e-mail me with the card number. It is past the expiration date on the gift card now and I never received an e-mail from the sephora rep. Any suggestions?

Re: Beauty Insider/VIB Gift Card Offer - FAQ (December 1-12, 2011)

@Avas  Sorry to hear you didn't get a follow up email.  I will send you a message to help 🙂

Re: Beauty Insider/VIB Gift Card Offer - FAQ (December 1-12, 2011)

I received my email, but there isn't anything next to where it says "online" so that I can use it.  Under it says to copy to giftcard field...but it's blank.  Am I completely confused and missing something?  This is my first one...so maybe it's just me?!  Thanks!

Re: Beauty Insider/VIB Gift Card Offer - FAQ (December 1-12, 2011)

If you are unable to locate the number or need further assistance placing your order, please call us at 1-877-SEPHORA.  Thank you for your patience!
