Why Does CVS Not Sell Sephora Gift Cards?

CVS does not sell Sephora gift cards in its stores. Instead, you can only get other beauty and make-up gift cards, including DSW, The Body Shop, and Claire’s, among others.

You cannot redeem a Sephora gift card at CVS. The retailer avoids selling Sephora gift cards since both retailers are competitors in the health and beauty industry. By not stocking Sephora gift cards, CVS hopes that customers will buy these products in its stores.

How Does a Sephora Gift Card Work?

Sephora gift cards are available in various denominations, and you can use them to purchase merchandise at any of the Sephora stores or sephora.com. Since Sephora deals mainly in beauty and skincare products, you can use the gift card to buy perfumes, body creams, make-up kits, and more.

Sephora gift cards are only redeemable at participating Sephora stores across the US and Canada, online at sephora.com, on the Sephora app, and at Sephora stores located inside JC Penny stores.

Any unredeemed Sephora gift cards, eGift cards, or eGift certificates do not expire. In addition, Sephora gift cards are not charged any fees if there is any unused balance, and you can only use two gift cards per online order.

Also, you cannot exchange or redeem them for cash (except if you live in a state where the law demands it.)
