Beauty Insider Sweeps

Why does Sephora think it’s members want what is essentially a $100-$150 lottery ticket as a reward? The prize is only $25,000. Doesn’t seem worth it to me. If I was interested in playing the lottery, I’d go buy a $1 ticket and take a chance for a much higher payout. Hey Sephora, if you want to give money away, why not offer $25,000 in $100 rewards so your loyal customers can actually get one? I’ve spent over $300 at ulta already this year and January isn’t even over yet. I appreciate a rewards program that actually gives me some cash back towards my purchases instead of having to play some game. Now not only do they want you to play a game for a prize, but they want you to play a game for a “maybe” prize. So ridiculous!

@kentstategirl “Maybe” a prize got someone a Million dollars last year. You don’t have to enter 😊

I’m aware that I don’t have to enter, nor do I plan to. I just find it insulting that Sephora would even consider this a reward. If they want to have a sweepstakes, then have one. Just don’t ask loyal customers to spend points to enter.

It’s not marketed as a reward. It’s exactly as you said, spend your points to enter.

I think what they are doing here is actually trying to get us waste our points by entering the lottery instead of using it on a more substantial reward, $100 rouge reward, for example. A lot of people have been complaining that they can never redeem their points for $100 rouge reward because it’s hardly available. Now if so many of us spend our points on this lottery, Sephora won’t have to deal with this issue. I think what they are trying to do is reducing their liability, but it’s at customer’s cost. I’m so disappointed...😔 I would say that if we are not happy with the company’s practice, we just need to spend our money somewhere else. Sad....
