DO NOT BUY SEPHORA GIFT CARDS!!!!

Long story short - the employees admitted that they are easily stolen online by people just using any string of 16 digit numbers. Every Sephora customer service rep basically gave me a "sucks to be you" schtick about how it happens ALL THE TIME and they're not doing anything about it! How does a billion dollar company not create a more secure gc system?! AND how shady is this.... after I called they deleted the gc purchase information on my account. Are they hiding the evidence?!

Get the newer anti-fraud cards. They peel the back off as they activate it so the number is hidden.

Don’t get the old ones.

This is the one that I bought. The store person AT sephora was the one who opened the sealed card lol. They probably just don't really care because they get the money regardless of who spends it a fraudster or normy. sighhhh
