Let's keep this thread on topic!

Ulta points refresher (because yes, it is that complicated):

Spoiler

Item #1 - $53.50

Item #3 - $108.50 (and is eligible for a certain item/brand 5x multiplier)

* There is also a 5x all purchase multiplier and you are platinum so you get 1.25x

Total Spent - $162

Base Points Earned - 162

Platinum .25x Earned - 41 (162 * .25 = 40.5, and rounding up)

5x All Purchases Earned - 648 (it ends up being 4x because you don't count the base points)

5x Item/Brand Earned - 434

Total Points Earned - 1285

Please add product id numbers and sku numbers so people can find items on ulta.  

Just to clarify, there is an item number that Ulta lists on the website, right under the picture of the item.

The product id is the number given to the item in the URL.  So Ulta's site follows this formula of having the url and then the very last part of the url is "productId=xlsImpprod" followed by an 8 digit number.  If you use that "productId" number you can get to the page of any item on ulta. 

It's not a search, but the direct url to the page. 

Click on any product, and then view the url in the address bar.  It will look like this: ulta's website (not using the actual domain because BT admins don't like that) /prep-prime-fix?productId=xlsImpprod15921204  Replace the 8 digit product id of the item you want to see with the id of the product you're looking for.

My very unofficial Ulta point multiplier to approximate percent discount chart:

(This is a number where I use the multiplier to divide by 2000 to see how many dollars I would have to spend in order to redeem a $125 reward.  E.g. 2000 points divided by 1 point multiplier means I have to spend $2000 to get the $125 reward.  Adding how much I had to spend ($2000) + the reward ($125), and then using the reward ($125) to divide the total purchase ($2125), I get a discount of approximately 6% based on the total purchase.  Note: the total purchase is based on the concept that you are spending just enough to reach the next $125 reward and combines the reward value with how much money you had to spend to get that reward.

@AnonymousI have about half of them expiring at the end of the month - I'm thinking about grabbing an ABH single shadow in Carmel for a nice crease tradition shade (I'm a MAC NC42). But if there's something better, I'll totally spring for it!

[Anonymous]

@AnonymousAlternates would be picking up an Audacious lipstick since those are universally loved by BTers, the PTR Mask Sampler (#2305577) or one of the new Smashbox Cover Shot mini palettes.

I have $8 off from points, but I don't know what to get - any suggestions?

[PrettyPaint]

Can I ask an ulta points question? Once you earn $125/2000 points, do you need to spend all $125 at once to maximize your reward? In other words, if you only spend $50 of $125 at one time, would your remaining points revert back to the lesser reward? Thanks!

[itscarin]

@PrettyPaint  If you cash out 2000 points for the $125 reward, you need to use all $125 in one transaction.  Any amount you do not use will be lost.  E.g. you cash out 2000 points for $125 and only use $50, you lose the other $75.

You do maximize your rewards at increments of 2000.

100 points = $3 = 3% return

1000 points = $50 = 5% return

2000 points = $125 = 6.25% return

[PrettyPaint]

@itscarin Thanks so very much! That would be so sad to lose those points, so I'll be sure to plan the big $125 haul!

[Anonymous]

From what I understand, if you don't use all of the $125 in one purchase, then with however many points you have left, you get a reward according to that. So if use 500 points for $17.50 off, then you technically have 1500 points left and I think the next redeemable tier is 1000 points. Idk if that makes sense, but in order to maximize your reward, you would want to use it all at once!

[PrettyPaint]

Perfect! Thanks so much! That's exactly what I was wondering!

Here is a break down I pulled from my points in the spoiler 🙂 You do have to use all 2000 points to get maximize the rewards. Hope this helps

The 20% off coupon can be combined with the point redemption. Just check for exclusions.

Hi! Life has gotten really busy and stressful and I haven't been on BT much (and don't receive email notifications that someone has messaged me)...would someone else mind taking over responding to PMs regarding the spreadsheet link? 

[CC3616]

@Anonymous glad to help out.. 

[TrysBeautyItems]

Check your BT settings under preferences - private messenger, there's an box to tick for email notification.

I'm sure we'll help with the link 🙂

Kind of tempted by this and my 20% off code is burning a hole in my wallet. There is a fragrance I didn't think I wanted but I've changed my mind. This is a decent GWP (maybe...).

[SuzeAlex]

It's hard to know when to push the button.  I was all set until I noticed it said mystery bag, and I may not get what I see.  I'm not pushing the button quite yet.

[Maria88]

Well....I got sick of waiting around for a good promo (I already missed out on the Hempz stuff because of work) so I jumped! I just hope it's something good!
