I don't think so. They usually only let you use one code per transaction. Since the 20% off is in the form of a code, I think you have to pick between using that or a different code, but not both.
Wasn't last year's VIB discount 15%?or am I thinking about something else?
This has been my experience too. Granted, I didn't purposely plan to spend over $1K at Sephora but I will tell you this...getting to this Rouge level and not really seeing the benefit of it has REALLY made me rethink my beauty spending in general.
I remember it being 15% as well. It was twice a year, in the Fall and in the Spring. In years before that it was 20% for VIBs and early access. It was 15% for BIs and access after the VIBs.
I feel like they are definitely skimping on the perks!
I thought it was 20% in November, and then 15% in March or whenever it was that they did the other VIB sale. But maybe I am wrong. One way or another, I completely agree that Sephora is skimping on perks. My mom got her VIB sale invitation in the mail today, and I honestly couldn't have cared less. I would probably have to use hers anyway, if it's like last year, where Sephora never mailed me an invitation (even though I have been a VIB for forever).
After receiving the invitation today (via my mom), I started looking up rewards programs at Nordstrom and such. I think that's pretty telling. I've been a fan of Sephora ever since I first went there in France when I was in middle school (which was like 15 years ago...eeek!), but I think I'm done now. I just think Sephora has gotten so big that they know they will get sales one way or another and they no longer feel the need to show that they appreciate their loyal customers.
You're right! I just looked back in my account orders and it was 20 in the Fall and 15 in the Spring.
Is this one 20?
This one is 20%, and although I only glanced at it, I think it can be used multiple times. My mom just got her VIB invitation today. I haven't received mine yet. So they should be arriving soon. Hopefully I actually get one this year, although I don't know whether I will use it or not.
They also sent a one-time use code to give to a friend.
Anyone with a spare vib code that they're not using? I didn't get anything from sephora *sad*
I haven't received my invitation yet either. It doesn't start until 7 November. You'll probably get an invitation in the mail this week. My mom just got her invitation yesterday afternoon.
I did look at the restrictions on the code to give to a friend, and it says that if the friend is purchasing in store, they must be accompanied by a VIB. Not sure if they will actually enforce that or not. I don't know how they would enforce it online either (since there is a unique code on the card for online use).
This is what happened to me last year, everything I wanted was sold out, so I didn't get to use my coupon. This year, I was lucky to receive a code from my co-worker to use in the F&F sale. In my opinion Sephora is skimping on their perks..
I just think that a vib and vib rouge should get different discount. And I agreeded that I so not see a big different btw different tiers of members now.
