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.

For those who normally shop at Ulta, do you know if they'll have another 20% sale before the end of this month? 

[Kay522]

Just going on last year, there was a 20% off coupon that came out beginning of December, so I've got my fingers crossed that we get one soon. Just as long as it's after Nars comes to Ulta!

[itscarin]

@denaxnguyen someone said in the Deals too good thread:

I went to Ulta today and my favorite associate told me there is an all inclusive 20% coupon coming by e-mail on the 13th of this month. Not sure how accurate the info is, but she is one of the managers there so fingers crossed!!

So yes, probably on 11/13.  Also, Nars is coming to Ulta soon.  Hopefully, in time for the 20% off coupon. 

[wheeeee]

Yep, last year the coupon expired either on 12/24-12/25.

I went in on 12/24.   That one included fragrance.  I got some CHANEL, PMD, etc. Cashed in all my points.

They also have  Black Friday deals.  They open on Thanksgiving and I usually go in-store (during the late evening)  if I want something. 

[alexasteph]

I'm trying to remember the timeline of their 20% off sales, and there should be at least one more before Christmas, but I'd expect it in December. Their general store coupon is a 20% off any non-prestige item right now, so I think things will cool off a bit before Black Friday and Cyber Monday. 

[amberchap]

If anyone has a $10 off $40 smashbox coupon they won't be using I would love it. PM me please 🙂 Thanks!

In store only 

[kso1225]

It's weird that they're offering a Dior mascara since they only carry their fragrances. Which makes me wonder if they're going to start carrying their makeup line.

[itscarin]

They actually do carry the mascara in store.  But only the mascara, and only in store.

[AmazingGrace333]

Updated the Google docs. sorry, don't know how to search for item number so it's blank.

$25 buy-in variety beauty bag plus free shipping on $35 purchase.

Eh, still waiting for a better gwp lol.

[lippieaddict19]

The item number is 14941067 (last 8 digits in the product link). I'm on mobile so hopefully someone else can add that into the doc. Thanks for posting this! I think it looks pretty nice for only a $25 buy in 

[AmazingGrace333]

Thanks, just added it! 🙂

You're welcome, I love this community where we all share deals..so much love! 

[PaletteAddict99]

The item number on here is 2501679 so not sure which one is right

[AmazingGrace333]

Tried using both in the search box, 2501679 is the one that works. I'll change it in a sec. Thanks for correction! 🙂

The reason why I never learned item numbers, Ulta can be tricky for me lol. 

[PaletteAddict99]

I've seen a lot of posts here listing two item numbers for a promo and I don't understand how there is two different item numbers.

Thank you for updating the spreadsheet! I don't have any idea how to do that LOL

[iwantitfree]

How do you see the spreadsheet?  Thanks.

[itscarin]

Hi Everyone,

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 a direct link to the page.

[AnneMCC]

@itscarin this is so helpful, is there a way you could make this a sticky or someone add it to the spreadsheet? I was trying to do it the other day and couldn't remember...

[AmazingGrace333]

I see the item number in the page now! Thanks!

I see now the difference! Lol! Product Id on url and Item Number on search box! Thank you:)

[lippieaddict19]

@AmazingGrace333 @PaletteAddict99 Sorry for the mix up, the 2501679 number is the item number; the number I posted is the product ID. I've never had success with searching item numbers, but inserting the product ID directly into any ulta link always pulls up the product for me with no problem
