SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE^[1])–Today, Sephora announced the launch of a new credit card program
offering for the prestige beauty omni-retailer. Starting this spring,
the Sephora Credit Card, Sephora Visa® Credit Card and Sephora
Visa Signature® Credit Card will be available, giving Sephora
clients even more ways to get rewarded for shopping their favorite
brands.

“The launch of the Sephora Credit Card exemplifies Sephora’s loyalty
philosophy in every sense; it considers all the most-loved aspects of
Sephora — the amazing product, services, experiences and
personalization – taking our client experience to the next level through
special access, rewards and perks,” said Andrea Zaretsky, Sephora’s
Senior Vice President of CRM and Loyalty. “The Sephora Credit Card was
the natural next step in our loyalty journey, truly adding even more
value that our clients can use not only within our stores, but also in
their day-to-day lives.”

Beginning this spring, the Sephora Credit Card and Sephora Visa Credit
Card will be available in select markets, rolling out to all U.S.
stand-alone stores and Sephora.com in the months following. Sephora
cardholders will earn credit card rewards in addition to rewards
in the retailer’s existing Beauty Insider Program. Sephora Visa
Signature cardholders will also have access to further Visa
Signature benefits^[2]. Clients who apply for the credit card and
are not an existing Beauty Insider member will also be enrolled in the
Program.**

For this highly anticipated launch, Sephora partnered with Alliance Data
(NYSE: ADS) to bring its first credit cards to market. “We are excited
to be working with two stalwarts in the industry with Alliance Data and
Visa, to offer a premium product that exemplifies the Sephora ethos,”
added Zaretsky.

“We are delighted to partner with Sephora, a beauty industry
trailblazer, to deliver marketing and loyalty-driven payment solutions
that will provide increased value, exceptional experiences, and further
extend the relationship between Sephora and their cherished clients,”
said Melisa Miller, president of Alliance Data’s card services business.
