Hi @misscg i have the app , the mobile phone browser and the PC set up for CAD and US and still did not successfully checkout. Its so weird

[Hadassah01]

I was able to get one and as soon as I hit check out it directed me back to the rewards bazaar and they were gone! I'm amazing how quickly they sold out. Last year I tried to get one and wasn't able to. I'm pumped I got one this time but I feel you 😞 

[misscg]

Gah!!! I was trying to post that the hourglass reward was up and there was a lot of quantities available (800) but it sold out already. Such a nice reward. I hope others that missed out last time was able to snag this version too.

I'm so bummed/frustrated. I had both rewards in my cart for all the way through checkout and the app kept buffering for no reason just long enough for everything to sell out. Argh. Congratulations though to whoever got the palette and the bike. Please send pics

[misscg]

O man that blows @Anonymous!! I actually uninstalled the app because it became so glitchy and slow. The mobile site seems to work so much better.

Hourglass is back in stock!

Did anyone get the Urban Decay coffee table book?  I'm dying to know what it looks like on the inside!

Hey, guys. I was just wondering if anyone else noticed that Sephora advertised the ole henriksen glow bike for 5,000 points in an email on August 1, 2017, however, it was up for 7,500 points today. How can they just increase the points needed to redeeem a reward by 2,500?! Honestly I've been so dissapointed with Sephora lately but Ive been giving the company a chance over and over and now I'm just completely turned off. I've spent so much money to rack up points for this specific bike and been checking every day that they drop rewards with an alarm and everything. I could have easily bought like 5 bikes by now with the money I spent on Sephora products. I called customer service at 12:01 EST to see what can be done about it and I was put on hold for 15 minutes and obviously by the time that the customer representative came back on the phone it was sold out. I am honestly in tears. I learned how to ride a bike this summer and I thought what a good way to rewards myself before I go back to school in September but nope obviously that didn't work out. Sorry for the rant, but my experience with the rewards bazaar has been ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE.email

@greeneyesXO I'm sure they'll do something about it, next time. I'm so sorry that you weren't able to redeem the reward. But who knows, next time they might be release more and it costs only 5k points. So there's a chance for you. You'll need to use both laptop and phone's app exactly time they release. Good rewards sold out within 1 mins. Good luck.

Hey guys,

I redeemed some points for the it cosmetics reward and accidentally got the light color (I read it quickly and thought it came with a light like the benefit reward a few months ago not that the skin tone for the CC cream was light...doh!). I immediately called the rouge line and the girl was like, "i'll cancel it right now, it should totally work and you'll get your points back." Something told me that this would not work and I didn't spend 1000 more points to get the right color. Well, the order was never cancelled and I never got points back and now I have a reward that is too light for me! I don't particularly need any of the other products and it should go to someone that really wants it.

Long story short: does any one want it? PM me and the first to respond will get it! I may ask for some shipping money depending on where you live (i am on the east coast and shipping to the west coast can be costly!). Otherwise, no cost. I just don't want it laying around my house!

Safely reached it's new home!love the sephora community and @piccolobacio !

[piccolobacio]

Hey all, It has been claimed!

[fatimamummy]

@piccolobacio I think it is worth contacting a MOD or posting in the Customer Service group so a MOD can look into it for you and can offer you some compensation.

[piccolobacio]

I'll try that, thanks @fatimamummy !

[piccolobacio]

@fatimamummy It totally worked! They returned my points and I am giving the reward to another lovely BI community member. This is some kind of sephora nirvana 🙂

[veronika23]

@lachaton  They didn't restore the other Rewards thread???? 😞

[lachaton]

@veronika23 KatieBT has told me she is looking into it! 

[veronika23]

@lachaton  oh great! Thanks! I noticed that one and another one I can't access anymore so I asked about them in the feedback thread. Hope it gets restored soon!

Received my It cosmetics 1000pt reward last night! I'm impressed with the packaging and the items I got. Though I have all the cosmetics samples from other promos or sets~the extra items will go to good use for an upcoming vacation! I also included the box my reward came in with the 250pt D&G Light Blue Eau Intense for anyone thinking about redeeming it. Pretty small IMO but also will work for travel. Smells a lot like the original but almost too strong 😬 Overall glad I got this one. Haven't ever redeemed anything over 500pts since the Bazaar started so this was a fun first! Also those are real pins on the leather bag! So I got a few fun extras [even if I'm not a pin person--my daughter will love them]

[CorgiMommy]

Very nice. Enjoy!

[ashacroo]

@CorgiMommy because you asked!
