I'm glad that I stayed optimistic and waited to see what was going to happen. It's still uber lame that it's a unique one-use only coupon but c'est la vie. At least they didn't away with it altogether.
 
I'm annoyed, it told me that both of my email addresses have already been used!! I am subscribed to their emails with my 'shopping' email account, but I hadn't gotten an email from them. So then I entered my personal email and the website said it had already been used, too! :wtf:

Edited: okay, that is really weird. The website said my email addresses had already been used, but then they emailed me a code anyway. They ought to fix that error message.
 
^^ i don't think it's ever been valid for canadians??


and i think i get why they were saying it's only truly F&F for employees. because they are correct when they say they do not promote the sale. because they don't (well i still think they did on facebook last year when the sale was almost over). so if they don't openly promote the sale I guess I understand why they kept denying it.
 
Ok I just typed out a really long thing, but deleted it because I've decided I am done talking about why they did it this way! :p

But you can use any email address to get a code, it doesn't have to be already registered with the site. As for in store, you might get lucky if you ask a sales associate and they will give you one of their cards, but it's not likely.

i was just coming to post the same thing. you only need different emails to GET the codes. i believe you can then use each code in the same account so you can still do multiple orders under one account.

or at least i would assume it's this way - i don't think that code is tagged to that email - they're just using the email to send you the code.

Someone mentioned (for the bolded part) that if you use a code not generated by your email address then you dont' earn your points on the purchase?

Can anyone confirm? I'm about to place 5 20% off orders LOL!
 
i really don't think sephora's system is that complex. i know someone mentioned earlier that they would give their code away but they would still get the points - buti don't see how that would work. you're logged into your account, no someone else's - their system is not going to check "oh this code didn't go with this email - they don't get points"

their code system is just producing random codes.

now i could be TOTALLY wrong - lol

Nope, you'll still earn the points on the purchase. I just did it this morning - used my blog email address to generate the code, ordered under my Sephora BI account (different email address), and the points from the order have already posted to my account!
