Best credit card to use at Sephora.
Online Shopping
Sephora is the largest U.S. beauty specialty retailer at about 600 stores, plus a separate shop-in-shop presence inside Kohl's. Beauty doesn't have its own reward category on most general-purpose cards, so in-store purchases at Sephora typically fall back to a flat-rate cashback card. Online purchases at sephora.com code as online shopping. Sephora's own Beauty Insider points layer on top of card cashback.
Picks without a tag earn at Sephora both in-store and online. Watch for theOnline onlytag — those bonuses only apply on sephora.com.
