This thread will be for Ulta GWPs only. Share ulta promos here.
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...
A list of in store coupons is here: https://community.sephora.com/t5/Savvy-Shoppers/Ulta-GWP-Coupons-no-chatter/td-p/3866521
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 |

I want to take a minute to thank everyone on this and the deals too good to pass up thread for enabling me. I couldn't have done all this damage without you 😉
For reference, all the items on the left were freebies from ulta. The ones on the right (bare minerals, it cosmetics, Clinique) were items I purchased from ulta a couple weeks ago.
ULTA is so much better when it comes to GWPs. I got the Blue bag today and I placed another order online last week and got the Gold bag which is on its way.
I LOVE ULTA!
Wow! This is really awesome. I just started following the boards. Hopefully I'll be building up a stash as well with all the great deals!
I just redeemed all these codes at an Ulta near me (Hecht St in DC). I think I saw they had Butter nail polishes, too, but I couldn't find the in-store coupon for it. What I also learned was that if the coupon says it's valid through 10/15/16 and you're a day late, they'll charge you a penny for the sample. But, they still had these samples available at this store. Also, they had a bunch of other GWPs that I didn't have the codes for.
What a nice SA!
Yep, most Ultas just keep their GWPs on top of the cabinet behind the register in their original cardboard boxes.
And, the winner of the Amazing Race is, Carin. Great haul. My store will not allow me to redeem expired coupons. You're either super charming, have more lenient staff, or both.
I shamed this Ulta SA into giving me a replacement. Lol!!
I have a store merchandise card so I have been going to all the Ultas if I see one while out.
Last weekend they didn't have the Buxom lipgloss. The SA offered me a hairspray, but I told her it was ok. I wasn't going to use it.
On Saturday at another Ulta I bought some stuff and asked for the Buxom lipgloss. She was OOS. I asked for a replacement product and she was like....'we don't have that.'
I rolled my eyes and just said, 'really, never heard a SA say that before.' Honestly, it just happened.
I didn't even mean to act like this. Lol!
I really didn't care. Just didn't appreciate this SA being so stingy with samples and it is annoying when stores don't practice the same policy at all locations. This was the first time I wasn't offered a replacement.
They had a bunch of stuff on the counter behind them, too.
As I was walking away, she was like, 'wait, I can give you this.' She handed me a Macadamia hair mask and told me I had nice hair.
I took it because it is something I will use.
Also, thought it was funny because I think y'all were discussing this brand last week on here.
I've never once had an Ulta SA offer a replacement for an OOS sample. I've never asked either, but yay for a Macadamia hair mask. I'd take that as a substitution any day. Love that stuff.
Next ask and see what happens. (doesn't hurt)
Staff. Plus it's a brand new Ulta. 😄
Someone mentioned her store has a $0.01 sale to get rid of GWP offers still on hand. I've been meaning to ask my store if they ever do that, but I keep forgetting. Whoever that happened to probably has similar staff to the ones at your store.
@notcreative me. I'm trying to peg down if it's quarterly, monthly, or just random. They're very hush about it whenever I ask.
If you ever figure it out, please let me know. I will report back if I do as well.
@itscarin, the penny charge is good to know! I've had them ring it up at $0.01 and then tell me the coupon was expired and cancel out the charge - I've asked if I could just pay the penny and I was told no. I am going to try again. 🙂
One time I went to redeem a coupon, I asked the SA first if they had it in stock. She scan the item and rang me up. So I just paid a penny for the freebie. Though, it's hit and miss with the SA. It's nice to know that you can still redeem the freebies if they have it in stock!
My store is VERY hit or miss by SA haha. They also do random purges of leftover DS stock where you can buy as many as you want for $0.01 each!
I wish I could buy the leftover stock at my locations @CC3616
I remember asking when someone mentioned it in the Deal thread. The SA had no clue and gave me the side eye for even asking.
That's awesome. Mine are hit or miss. We went on the first day for the blush, they gave me one but forgot my little sisters so I gave her mine. When I made it back I asked for another and they were out but subbed it with the laura geller GWP which was super nice.
Nice!! I haven't been redeeming any lately. My Ulta never seems to have anything in stock. Last time I was also charged for a penny but I wasn't late. Not sure why but for a penny I don't mind.
Item No 2298686
Product ID No 14021313
Edit.
This is a unique in store coupon, so only the first person who tries to use it will be fruitful. The Amazing Race starts now!!
