The Sephora Visa Credit Card and Sephora Credit Card earns Sephora Credit Card Rewards. These rewards are separate from the Sephora Rewards you earn in the Beauty Insider program meaning that credit card rewards are in addition to your Beauty Insider Points.

Sephora Credit Card Rewards are added up at the end of every billing cycle and converted into one Sephora Credit Card Reward that you can use towards purchases made in-store or online directly with Sephora.
