Ulta Diamond Status

[Feebee1115]

Please tell me there are more perks because this diamond gift was pretty lame 😒 

are there usually exclusive free product offers or something?

[alexalicious]

Well wouldn't that be an awesome thing to track in a spreadsheet, diamond only perks?! I wonder if anyone has done that? We have some very cleaver, hard working ladies around here that do stuff like that. If I was half as cleaver with a sheet, I'd offer. But alas always seem to screw those up.🤷‍♀️

[alexalicious]

I mean the extra gwps and perks, not the initial thank you gift. and I feel like that's already tracked, just not on its own tab

Ulta, without question, has the superior rewards program. Sephora is garbage. Especially as of late

@Feebee1115 I got an Estee Lauder lipstick for my Diamond gift.  I guess it's just the luck of the draw. Since being Diamond a couple of months ago, I noticed there are some good perks.  I feel like you earn points faster and there are emails where you can get a full size product free with purchase or special items that Diamond members get first.

My gift was the CLINIQUE High Impact Mascara Black  that I was not a fan of. It dried up SOOO quickly! The $25 gift card for the salon services was worth it for me because I get skin and brow services at Ulta. Some of the freebies I've received so far were a full-size SMASHBOX - Studio Skin 15 Hour Hydrating Foundation and Flesh highlighter stick, and I just got a coupon for 50% off Tarte Shape Tape. Also, I don't know if any other Diamond members feel the same, but it feels like my online orders actually ship faster now that I'm Diamond.

Ulta stays hitting you in the face with discounts and point bonuses in their emails, and you get even more as a Diamond member. I reached Diamond status in August, and my point balance was low after I did a super haul. Now, I'm back to almost $200 worth of points because of all the point multipliers I've been getting! I was planning to do most of my beauty shopping at Sephora for the rest of the year to reach Rouge, but Ulta keeps pulling me back in with those bonuses!

It's only the first year that Ulta has offered Diamond, and I already feel more rewarded than I did as VIB Rouge when Sephora rolled that out. Ulta does such a great job of rewarding loyal customers, and I think the perks are going to get better as the program goes along.

Sorry for the long reply, I was SUPER hype! LOL

@sephoraaddict918

thank you for the thorough reply. I guess I just need to be more patient. I feel like I’ve missed out on the last few multipliers so hoping I get one soon! And looking forward to the offers this Monday

[sephoraaddict918]

Yeah, @Feebee1115 it was SOOO hard to wait for those Diamond perks! When I reached Diamond, I expected to get bombarded with tons of emails, but I even had to wait a few weeks to get the email to pick up my Diamond gift pack.

I remember there being a couple full size GWP perks exclusively for diamond level, a Becca primer I believe? I don't think Diamond is quite worth the spend level yet... but it's new so I'm hoping benefits increase over time? lol

@Feebee1115  diamond members get free shipping at $25 and you earn 1.5x points vs the 1.25x for platinum. also, during platinum perk days, there's usually extra gifts for diamond

Also, this is the first year diamond was introduced so hopefully they really ramp up the perks next year 🙂

@Feebee1115 I know the recent welcome boxes have been underwhelming, but the program is great, especially racking up points a little more quickly and the extra Diamond perks available the first Monday of every month. 😄

[Feebee1115]

@NatureGirlSD Thank you! I didn’t realize it was every month. I need to start reading my emails more carefully. That is good to hear 😊

[NatureGirlSD]

@Feebee1115 Yeah, those Monday offers are usually great and the free shipping with any $25 purchase is nice too. Still not as good as the options with Sephora, but better than $50! 

ETA: It really pays to pore over the Monday perk day emails since they tend to cram a lot in there that's easy to overlook. Also, if you can, check in here the night before to see what @RGbrown & @ohheyitscindyk & everyone else has found.

[Feebee1115]

@NatureGirlSD will do. Thank you!
