Please do NOT post requests for the spreadsheet in this thread. Please post requests for the Ulta GWP google spread sheet in this thread: http://community.sephora.com/t5/Off-Topic/Ulta-GWP-Google-Spreadsheet-Request-Thread/m-p/2753063#M11...

Let's keep this thread on topic!
Ulta points refresher (because yes, it is that complicated):
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
Links are not allowed. In lieu of links, please read this:
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.
Multiplier | 1 | 1.25 | 1.5 | 2 | 2.25 | 2.5 | 3 | 3.25 | 3.5 | 4 | 4.25 | 4.5 | 5 | 7.25 | 7.5 | 8 | 8.25 | 8.5 | 9 | 9.25 | 9.5 | 10 | 10.25 | 10.5 |

Happy to know I'm not the only one, lol!! thanks @ZombieMetroAnt 🙂
two more items for GWP
I don't know if this is the right board to post, but does anyone know when Ulta usually does another 20% everything sale.
Thank you!
@liz089 In 2016, I received three different 20% off coupons over the summer (I'm platinum). The dates I got them through the dates when they expired were:
1) Thursday June 23rd - July 2nd
2) Thursday July 28th - July 30th
3) Monday August 29h - September 3rd
The first two were specified as platinum perks in the emails, but the third one was not.
thanks @EmilySara !! I have been saving my points to cash in but I usually wait until there is a sale with 20% off even prestige.
Not a great beauty bag, but hey free is free. $35 min. Product ID 16061121
I received this bag yesterday and it sucks 😂 hate foil packets. Only thing good is the mascara, the hair treatment spray, and the egg white mask😔
Did anyone else receive a random, but very welcome, surprise gift from Ulta as a thank you for being a platinum member??? They sent me a tarte eye shadow palette....I've been Sephora Rouge for just as long, if not longer than I've been an Ulta platinum member, and I've never received anything of the sort from Sephora lol the experience has def made me start t reconsider my spend at Sephora vs at Ulta
Last year Ulta sent me a 3 piece estee lauder set. It had 2 skin care deluxe size samples and a full size lipstick. It was a very nice surprise.
Ulta has really been stepping up their game. I'm happy to see all the new brands they have available now. I love their rewards program. I would much prefer to get cash back.
Sweet! I think Ulta first started doing this in late 2015 or early 2016. I got the UD vice lipstick pod sent to me. Other people have had more substantial gifts. I think we all got a kick out of it because Sephora had initially promised rouge members would receive special free gifts annually, but we never did. So Ulta aka Mr. Steal-yo-girl swooped in and started sending things to platinum members. It's a nice touch. You always want to be under-promising and over-delivering.
LOL @itscarin kudos to Ulta! Ever since I saw these gifts (and other awesome perks) I'm debating on becoming committed to Ulta.
I've already re-qualifiers for Platinum (through 2018) but have purchased 0 from Sephora. I even passed the 20% off, I may not even make it to VIB
Several folks have reported getting a thank you gift from ulta lately, ifn you wanna scroll down/back a bit to see some pics and stories. Ulta is definitely putting their best foot forward; they are bringing it in regards to rewards! Congrats on your gift!!
Check your offers, I got a 5x NARS today and the 3x platinum is good until 6/17 (2x non-platinum). I also recently got a 5x Dermalogica and ABH.
Thanks for sharing. 🙂 I may place an order today but I placed a few small orders yesterday with the no min shipping code that was shared. I'm also trying to hold out for the next platinum gwp bag. 🙂
@CaityLaine I'm trying to hold out for a bag, too, so I didn't end up placing an order. I don't need anything right now anyway! 🙂
I recently had a big CS issue with Ulta that stemmed from a post office error, which, although it took awhile, was more than satisfactorily resolved. I had all but written off Ulta since this occurred in April (I seriously spent a LOT from Jan-Apr then $0 since this happened). After speaking with a very professional and understanding supervisor at Ulta, I fully intend to remain an Ulta shopper, but am now waiting for some better promotions too. A Platinum Bag would def bring me back in without hesitation even though I literally do not need a single thing right now.
The threshold for free shipping has dropped to $35.
I haven't tested it personally, but read the free shipping coupon below isn't working anymore 😞
