Is my math correct? 1000 points for $25 would equate to an abysmal 2.5% for spending $1000 in store? Are Rewards worse than ever?

Are they still doing the $100 reward for 2500 points?

@JennTR The Rouge 1.5x points for each $1 spent is a newer system.  So for many of us that may have been collecting points for years, it still seems like a 1 point for $1 spent in many regards.

[JennTR]

Yes agreed. Near impossible to snag that $100 reward!

Here is the math - even accounting for rouge gets 1.5 points per $1 spent, the reward is still fairly small. 

1000 points = $666.67 spent = $25 reward = 3.7% return 

1500 points = $1000 spent = $50 reward = 5% return 

2500 points = $1666.67 spent = $100 reward = 6% return

Thanks clemon!

Rouge gets 1.5 points so we actually have to spend less than $1000 to get a $25 reward. But yeah it’s still a crappy reward. Just save your points for the $100 reward. Also....If you choose the 750 point perk when you re-rouge and the 250 point birthday gift, that’s 1000 extra points to put towards the $100 reward. So if you do that, you only have to spend $1000 to get a $100 reward if my math is correct. $1000=1500 points plus 1000 re-rouge/bday points=2500 points/$100 rouge reward. I suck at math so I may be way off here Haha!

I forgot it was 1.5! I like your math 😉! I haven't seen a $100 in over a month now being offered 😔. Thanks Samantha!

Waited to pounce on $100 Reward only to find it was for 1000 points for $25 dollars. My spending at Sephora will now be markedly less with this silly (as another poster worded so eloquently) adult hunger games on Tuesday and Thursdays for $25!
