Issuer Rules

Rules: Eligibility for the Sephora Credit Card (BreadFinance) in 2026 requires applicants to be at least 18 years old, a U.S. resident, possess a valid Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), and meet BreadFinance's creditworthiness criteria (typically fair to good credit). New cardholders commonly receive a discount on their first Sephora purchase. Ongoing benefits include accelerated rewards earning (e.g., 1.5x or 2x points per $1) on Sephora purchases, redeemable for future store credit. Applications are processed online or in-store, subject to instant approval or further review.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 5

Minimum Spend Interval: 3 months

Shutdown Risk Triggers: High cumulative credit limit across BreadFinance accounts, unusual spending patterns inconsistent with typical retail use, frequent late payments, defaulting on other credit obligations, opening too many accounts with BreadFinance in a short period (app-o-rama), or suspected manufactured spending (though less common for store cards).
