Ulta GWPs

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):

 

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

Spoiler

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.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Sorry I don't know how long they hold it. I just got on My Choice recently so am just learning it. I don't think a friend could pick up the package as ID is needed to pick it up. You can always pay (I think the cost is $4-8?) to have it delivered to your friend. I'd just have it go to a UPS site myself and pick it up when I got home, but that's me...

Re: Ulta GWPs

Thanks for your advice! I'm gonna look into this and hopefully it'll work out for me! 

Re: Ulta GWPs

@pinyo I placed on order on 12/9 and it finally got here today. Originally it had estimated delivery date of 12/16-17, and i received the shipment confirmation on 12/10, but it actually didn't ship out until 12/14 from their facility. I was super upset and called on the 15th and they really didn't do anything except apologize. I basically told the guy, "Well, it's not my problem that Ulta forgot to ship it out and I needed my stuff the week it was supposed to be delivered, not almost 3 weeks later." So the guy then put me on hold an eventually told me he would give me a store credit of $10. I would call back, speak to someone else, and tell them something about the delay. They've obviously been dropping the ball with some of their orders.

Re: Ulta GWPs

That's quite frustrating that it's not just happening to me. I'll call them again and see if they'll credit me or something. It's ridiculous! When you tell your customers a week, it should be a week (ish). Not give or a take an extra business week (or 2!) lol. 

 

I love that ultas reward and gwp system is on pointttttt. But if you can't meet basics like arrival by X date...it makes it a whole lot less inticing to shop lol

Re: Ulta GWPs

@pinyo hhm, maybe because of the holiday season?  My 12/11 order is scheduled to arrive on 12/23 - this too includes my 8-pc surprise bag.

 

Have you tried asking the post office to hold your mail?  I've done that before when I've traveled and thankfully nothing has gotten lost.

 

Best of luck and safe travels 00000.JPG

Re: Ulta GWPs

I'm going to see if I can do that. My only concern about that is when would I ever be able to pick it up haha. Gotta love their open hours. 

 

I hope you have a wonderful holiday and stay safe too! 

Re: Ulta GWPs

I have an extra 20%. Pm if interested and if you plan on purchasing a lot with it. Just to be fair to others who have been waiting on a discount code.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Ulta sent me a 3rd 20% off coupon today 🙂 I wonder if there'll be a better GWP then this men's gift...#selfish 🙂 

Re: Ulta GWPs

I just checked my email and they sent me a 3rd one as well. I had to double check to make sure all the codes were different.  My email subject was "Lucky! Get 20% off again!!" I Hope a good GWP appears soon.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Not going to use it $10 off $50 Bareminerals online only

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Tamara76  @JazaChai  It is now showing up as FREE with $50 purchase! Sadly the Giorgio Armani 2 pc is no longer free as that was only for 17-18th. 

 

I called CS this morning (5 am PST!!) about the 9 pc. when I first saw it and told them it wasn't showing up as free. They were aware of this issue as several others called and Ulta said they were fixing this. They told me I could wait til they fix it or make the order and they would refund me.

Re: Ulta GWPs

AHHHH! I'm so upset! I tried adding both the 9 piece and the GA set (both were valid at the time), but it kept trying to charge me so I left it out. Is there any way to get it added? 

Re: Ulta GWPs

 @pinyo   You can add them but the promotional period for the GA 2 piece is over so you'd have to pay $60 for each item if you want it. 😞 

 

Re: Ulta GWPs

WHat a bummer! Lesson learned lol. Add it then make them refund you. Thank you 🙂 

Re: Ulta GWPs

Thanks for the heads up @KatieJiang!   

Re: Ulta GWPs

Yes! I just made an order. I am sad that the 2-pc one did not stick around to be included, but I used my 20% off code plus my 5x Clinique points offer (screw you, brand committee that decided Clinique must be excluded from discount coupons...), plus I plan to use most of these DSes for my Christmas gift for BF, soooo I will take it. SO happy this turned out to be still in stock!

Re: Ulta GWPs

@JazaChai  Yay! When I first contacted Ulta about the 9 pc on Facebook via message, they said it wasn't showing up as free because it was OOS. I told them this was wrong and impossible since I added it to my cart right when they added it to their website (these type of GWPS always show  up around 4 am PST if they do comearound, and I was refreshing it when it was added.) There was no way it would go OOS at 5 am, one hour after release.

 

So then I called CS and they gave me the answer I stated above about the system being messed up with things being FREE. I ended up making the order with the Giorgio Armani 2 piece(also didnt show up as FREE even though it was on the 18th) and 9 pc set anyway since I would get refunded. I ordered eye creams for my mom and used a $15 off a kind BTer gave me!

 

I agree, my boyfriend always enjoys the DS men stuff I give him!

Re: Ulta GWPs

Yeah it's showing up as $50 for me as well. I'm wondering if it really sold out that fast, or if they put it up wrong and it's a glitch...

Re: Ulta GWPs

Thanks for sharing!  I think this may have sold out because it's not showing up free for me...
