How to Check Balance on the Sephora Website
Logging into the Sephora.com account dashboard provides a full view of your Sephora balance. The interface lists gift cards, points, and credits in one place.
Sign in, navigate to your account overview, and review each balance line item. This method is ideal when you want to verify amounts before adding a new payment method.
Checking Balance Through the Sephora App
Using the Mobile Wallet
Open the Sephora app, tap the profile icon, and select wallet or gift card. The app shows your Sephora balance in real time and lets you add cards to Apple or Google Pay.
In-App Notifications and Offers
Alerts for balance changes, expiring points, or limited promos appear in the messaging center. Keeping notifications enabled helps you act before credits expire.
Checking Balance in a Physical Sephora Store
Visit any Sephora counter or register and provide your phone number or email linked to your account. Associates can confirm your Sephora balance and explain current promotions or exclusions.
If you have multiple gift cards, staff can list all active numbers and amounts on your behalf. This option is fastest when you are already shopping in person.
Using Balance at Checkout
During online checkout, select a saved gift card or store credit to apply it to your order. The system automatically deducts the Sephora balance before taxes and shipping.
In-store, present your phone number or card at payment so the cashier can redeem the balance. Combining a gift card with credit card payments is usually supported up to the transaction total.
Managing Your Sephora Account Long Term
- Log in monthly to review gift card and point balances
- Set calendar reminders for promos with expiration dates
- Keep one primary payment method in case gift cards are declined
- Use the app wallet for faster checkout in-store and online
- Verify email and phone number so balance resets and alerts work
