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 |

Here's another image of the Lancôme coupon in case the cursor on the barcode below causes a problem while redeeming:
The product ID for online is 13941063
I'll snap a picture later but FYI with the Living Proof Beauty Break from last week -- it actually is the hairspray and the two LP GHD shampoo & conditioner, not the timeless trio that they sent a back up email out about.
Kind of hilarious that they said you'll get A, send out an email saying you'll get B, and then you get A anyway. Oh well!
I actually did get the Timeless set. I placed 2 orders that day, one of which came with only the hairspray (not the timeless, the other one) as I guess the shampoo & conditioner were sold out by then. But then I went to place another order and the options had changed. So I think anyone who placed an order before the handover is getting phd, and if you ordered after you're probably getting Timeless.
What actually is the difference?
@itscarin As someone who's not used to shopping at Ulta, I absolutely love this thread. The deals too good to pass up is awesome as well but it can be a little overwhelming when I'm just looking for Ulta deals.
Do you think it would be possible to start posting the in stores coupons and oos ones in spoilers in your first post? I think it would make it a little easier but it's just an idea. 🙂 Thanks a lot to everyone who contributes to the community!
Good idea, I'll try it when I get some down time, but no promises. 😉
I saw this on Twitter and found it relatable and hilarious.
SAH has Ulta at 9% cash back.
It's rare (these days) to see it higher than 5% (Mr. Rebates).
If anyone has an extra Pink Grapefruit mini Laura Geller blush they would like to trade, pm me! I have tons of stuff, and I can't justify buying another full-size blush. I have Tropic Hues in full size or deluxe size if anyone is looking for it!
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. 😄
