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.

@imlostagain

I don't want to be nosy by any means, but may I ask what the spreadsheet is?  I saw y'alls previous conversation and was curious, thank you.

[imlostagain]

@CaityLaine It's a spreadsheet with all the GWP's links from UIta. I can send it to you if you would like.

[CaityLaine]

@imlostagain

yes, I would so love it!  Thank you so much. 🙂

I really appreciate it !

[imlostagain]

I sent you the link 😄 Check your PM's

Can someone advise me regarding Ulta's policy for returns of GWP? (Perhaps include their policy in the original post?) Specifically:

• If I return something that drops me below the dollar limit that a general Ulta type gift kicked in, am I required to return that Ulta gift?

• If I return a specific brand associated with a brand GWP, that sets me below that brand dollar limit threshold, then am I required to return the brand GWP?

[Kay522]

You get to keep the GWP aways, regardless of what you return per Ulta's return policy. For example, they had a GWP deal if you bought an EL lip product, you get a specific full size lipstick free. I was in the market for an EL lipstick so jumped on the deal. However, the lipstick I actually bought did not work for me color wise so I returned it. But I was able to return it and keep the GWP lipstick.

@DiVWA Not so long ago I had a situation which left me asking the same thing. I found this on Ulta's website: 

Spoiler

The item I was returning was half of the value needed for the general store wide online GWP. When I went in they promptly accepted my return and didn't mention anything about the GWP. I think that the same rules would apply to brand specific GWPs. Hope this helps! 🙂

[itscarin]

I remember (years ago) ulta would make you return the GWP with the return or they'd charge you for the gift.  I think Macy's does this.

[Insomniacmuffin]

hehe i went on a little daydream about this..

you go to the store to return something that you got a shampoo GWP with..

you: I'd like to return this blush

store: I'll also need the shampoo back

you: but I used the shampoo already, before I realized I'd be returning the blush

store: we're going to have to shave you.

[Cahlee]

Oh no! The horror 😂

[DiVWA]

Yes it does @Cahlee. Thank you!

[albablue]

I apologize for requesting this on the board (I tried PM'ing someone but received no response), but how can I get access to the Google docs spreadsheeet?

[sabrinas]

@albablue that was me! Im so sorry I didnt respond lol, I read it when I was out and on my cell phone so I didn't have easy access to get to the spreadsheet, then I just forgot to answer once I got to a computer.  My apologies.

[imlostagain]

Sent you the link @albablue

[jennjenn98]

[albablue]

Sorry if this is off-topic - does anyone have a guess about when they'll have the next big Platinum GWP (the $125 buy-in bags)? I think they're quarterly - does anyone have a clue based on the past when the next one might be coming? Trying to wait for a big GWP bag to use some Christmas gift cards, but I'm not sure if I'm just waiting for nothing.
