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.

USGWP got some good updates on ulta freebies.

[CaityLaine]

I also just received my Ulta GWP bag, mine comes from PA warehouse just fyi.  It looks like I received everything, but I will double check.  I did count the items and I actually have 22 pieces including the bag, so I feel like I got an extra piece thrown in for free. 🙂  I'll try to post pics later. 

I also received a 5$ off any ulta beauty collection of 15$ or more coupon in the bag and wasn't expecting that?  Didn't include that in my item count.

[Glitternoodle]

I had two orders arrive today, one from PA and one from TX. Unfortunately I had a few issues with the TX delivery, PA was exactly as ordered and even included the extra Juicy body lotion with the perfume sample. The one from TX had a few hiccups. One of the Benefit blushes I ordered arrived crumbled. The gwp bag was also missing the full sized Eyeko, the Benetint and the Juicy perfume was a vial rather than deluxe size. I messaged CS, so hopefully I can get the blush replaced without issue. Other than that I'm really happy with the Benefit duffel bag and the gwp. Both bags are very nice and quite roomy. Usually I have little use for makeup bags that are gwps because they are too small. The items in the bags are very nice too. I have full confidence that CS will fix the problem with the blush since they have always come through with that kind of stuff, so I'm a happy clam 🙂

[gonerogue]

Oh no, mine shipped from TX too! 😞 Crossing my fingers that I get everything that was supposed to be in the GWP bag

[Sodayui]

@Glitternoodle Ahhhh, I was nervous as you mentioned your big MEH order was from TX warehouse! My last order would be here tomorrow and it's from TX!!!! 

Finger crossed!! And good luck with the CS!!

[Glitternoodle]

@Sodayui I have one more order coming from the TX warehouse supposedly tomorrow, so I know the feeling. This last order was my largest order and I made it with points, so I really don't have any recourse with a credit card (My Amex is my online shopping security blanket 🙂 ) The thing is there is no tracking info when I look up the tracking number, but my UPS my choice calendar shows that it's gonna be delivered tomorrow. Fingers crossed for both of us!!!!

[Sodayui]

@Glitternoodle Hmmm... it should be some tracking info as mine says "destination scan" now. It's from Dallas, TX. Hope there would be some updates for yours as well!! 

[Glitternoodle]

Ugh, I just got a generic response about the missing gwp items that doesn't even really address the missing items 😞 

"You recently reached out about our  gift with purchase offer. Thanks for getting in touch – your feedback is so important to us.
We’re very sorry that we ran out of stock of this items. Turns out, it was really popular and just flew off the shelves. The good news is that this isn’t the last free gift with purchase offer we’re planning. We love to surprise and delight our guests with special promotions, and do it often."

[Sodayui]

@Glitternoodle Oh no, that sucks!! But I think I depends on the service member, maybe you could call them??

[Glitternoodle]

I replied to the e-mail, but if they don't help I'll probably call. I was so optimistic about their CS too 😞

[Sodayui]

It really depends on the service member. Most of time I would have great experience with them. But I did have an order with wrong items and the first service member I called was a huge disaster. So I just called them the next day and the lady was super helpful. 

Good luck!!

[luvgloss13]

Yay, glad you got everything! I need to count mine , I think I got about 13 pieces? Maybe less? LOL. 

[CaityLaine]

@luvgloss13

thank you 🙂

Totally bums me out for you though!  I hope they correct it....  😞

that's crazy if it was short that many pieces!

[Tamara76]

@CaityLaine  Ulta almost always includes those coupons in their GWP bags, so you can expect more in the future! 😊

[CaityLaine]

@Tamara76

good to know! 🙂  thank you 🙂

I must've just missed them before?  lol.

I just got my order with the benefit bag and gwp. I am soooo satisfied with the bags themselves and the contents of the gwp. Seems like everything is in the bag, mine shipped from IN.

Heres the benefit bag. It's really nice. The outside is a light jersey like material and the inside is lined. No pockets though.

[Sodayui]

Yeah!! I received mine as well!! It's surprisingly roomy!! Love it!! 

[pinyo]

I'm so excited to get mine, it needs to come already! Benefit always knocks out their bag designs

[luvgloss13]

That bag is too cute! I get another order and hope it is in there. 🙂

enjoy!

[ZombieMetroAnt]

EEK!!! @misscg you know I love 'em Benefit bags...can't wait til mine arrives to add to my collection!    Thanks for posting

[misscg]

@ZombieMetroAnt I may or may not have literally danced just like this when I opened the box lol 😂
