Hi There @Cynsadore,
If you qualify for Rouge before the sale or qualify during the sale, you will get the Rouge discount. I hope this helps!
Best Wishes,
Janean
I am a VIB and I currently have $62.5 credit from Sephora. I am probably going to purchase a Pat McGrath palette during the sale. I was planning to purchase two palettes, but since the discount was smaller I am opting for only one. My account credit and the fact that I am close to Rogue (would love to redeem my points in for a gift certificate) is definitely influencing my decision to still make a purchase. I really hope they don't f-over VIB again and make the end of the year coupon even smaller. I think that the direction Sephora is heading is not good. People look forward to these sales. This year in particular I definitely was. If I did not have the credit I would have considered purchasing directly from the PM site which as everyone else mentioned will become a trend. Instead of looking for the annual sales, consumers will opt to shop directly at the retailer or at competitors. I always preferred shopping with Sephora and now, I will look elsewhere unless it is the "exclusive" brands which really means not readily accessible since there are always other retailers that carry those items.
Except they only release like ONE gift card for the $100 reward. By the time it's in my cart and the cart gives an error FOR NO REASON the cards are gone. Customer Service will not assist me with the cart error and send the same basic response each time. I do not get a notification that the card is out of stock. It tells me to open my already open cart. I am finding less and less reasons to go Rouge with Sephora and shop elsewhere for bigger discounts like direct with the brands who offer their discounts more than twice a year. I used to shop at Sephora just to get my Rouge status because it was so worth it. Now it's really not worth it at all. You basically get the same benefits as a VIB and there are less exclusive and first available sales. They also never send me the prestige brand samples i choose in my cart and send me junk instead. I feel like they put those samples up to entice people and know they can't send them. No benefits anymore and their customer service is horrible.
Yeah, Nordstrom messed up my samples once and when I mentioned it... they shipped me an entire box full of samples. I know it can seem like a petty thing, but I have bought several products after sampling first. I don't want to blow a bunch of money on something just based on reviews (which are always super honest/accurate).
I am one of those people who choose to stock up during this sale for skincare. But this year, I am looking at specific brands sites so I can save 20-25% off, instead of a lousy 15%. This is why I usually shop at Ulta, since I get a 20% off coupon multiple times a year. Things are usually out of stock during this sale anyways. I'll probably only buy some kits this time around...
It's very disappointing that Sephora has chosen to knock down the discount for VIB's this year. You just couldn't bring yourself to actually reward your top spenders, VIB Rouge with a higher discount, could you? Instead of giving them 25%-30%, you are alienating so many loyal shoppers. Every year makeup prices go up, but your "discount" has remained the same, and now you choose to lower it for so many of us. This will finally be the year I take my business elsewhere, along with so many. Like many have already mentioned, many of your competitors have better sales, and thanks to this ignorant decision of yours, you have now drove us to them. Au revoir.
Lowering VIB is the worst decision you will make, Sephora. Many VIB will find better discount than what you're offering. Being a VIB member for many years, I will be shopping elsewhere for better deals this November and years to come.
You just pissed off a lot of people.
Sephora is a massive retailer that has the ability to command a better cost price to be able to maintain or increase the discount price of products for its annual sales without affecting its IMU and disappointing customers. The SKU's carried at Sephora are frequently sold at a 20-25% discount directly on manufacturer's websites, or by other reputable retailers. Consumer's comp shop at the click of a button and Sephora's clientele are particularly savvy at finding the best price for the type of high-quality products that are carried there. Sephora may want to reconsider its strategy regarding sales and it's tiered reward system, in particular in light of the fact that the industry as a whole has been showing signs of slowing.
I said I am out and mean it too. Deuces Sephora! Peace out! I’ve been a vib for several l years. All they did was literally screw over their loyal vib customers.
Same here. I was looking forward to the sale BUT not this year. I will be spending my money elsewhere. Good luck Sephora..you just made a bunch of VIB loyal customers mad.
Yea forget Sephora. If we all agree to not go then maybe they will treat their customers better
Agreeing with this. I'm a VIB that would have jumped to get to rouge if the annual sales were 25%. Right now with 15% I'm going to be getting most from dermstore, neimans, brands direct, cult beauty, space nk etc etc.
I tallied up my spending and this year I have spent about 380 at sephora with about 1100 spent elsewhere. The majority of the money I've spent elsewhere is on brands that sephora carries, but other sites do 25% off for. Only a small percentage is on items not available at sephora.
Exactly why I went to Ulta. I’m an insider here and a diamond at ulta for next year already. Yes they don’t carry all the brands Sephora does but I can go to Macy’s etc and get better discounts. Sephora needs to step it up or it will keep loosing customers.
