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.

It was $450 for 2016 as well. The last time it was $400 was 2015.

[SuzeAlex]

Oooh, I should pay closer attention.  Came as complete surprise to me.

[MissHaiL]

I got an email this morning with a few new bonus offers! 🙂 

[petitesweetmom]

Oh wow! I got the NYX, L'Oréal Matbelline bonus offer. But NONE of the others. 😞 Would have loved the bonus points one. Did you get it the last time they offered it? I got it a few months ago but not this time. One I have that isn't on your list is 5x points on Dermalogica.

[pinyo]

Sometimes I feel like ulta trolls me. I think this is the third time in a year that I buy a ton of stuff (in this case NYX and Pureology) then about a week later there's a huge point multiplier for those brands. 

Ulta, why do you hate me? 😄

[myumew]

Are these promos only for Platinum members?

[spadersgirl]

Did everyone get 250 on a $60 purchase? My number was different.

[KellW]

I received 300 on a $60 purchase, but I also didn't receive any points multiplier in my bonus offers.

[spadersgirl]

Thanks, that's the same as me too. 300 but no pureology or urban decay. Just the Nyx, L'Oreal and Maybelline ones.

On a related note what does Sephora do about missing gift bag items. With one of the most recent gift bags one of the deluxe perfume samples was missing. The card was in the bag but not the actual perfume. I didn't think there was anything they could do so I let it go. Do they offer points, gift card, send the missing item, etc?s

[Tamara76]

@MNGlam Sephora typically offers points for missing promos/samples.

[ZombieMetroAnt]

Love your Skin event calendar of events (1/8 thru 1/28)

The site is still in "countdown" mode (the extension is LOVEYOURSKIN)

[Sodayui]

@ZombieMetroAnt Wow!! Thanks for this!! I already spotted one of my mom's fav peel pads!! Would definitely stock up for her~~  

[dido2007]

I have a free julep nail polish code that I won't be using. PM me and its yours! claimed

[denaxnguyen]

To the regular Ulta shoppers, do you usually get a gift bag with missing items? If so, what do you advise me to do about it? Thank you!

Here is the list of the 18 items for the last GWP pink bag. 

[lippieaddict19]

I've had a missing item before in one of their GWP bags (deluxe mascara) and when I contacted them they offered me a $10 gift card. If you contact them you would probably be given a gift card, possibly with a higher value depending on the representative assisting you and what exactly was missing. I always contact through email since that's the easiest me for me, but you can always call them. You can go to the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the main page and choose email and there will be a form you can fill out with all of the pertinent info. 

[Tamara76]

@denaxnguyen, I have found that they often substitute items in their GWP bags.  For example, my daughter and I may both order the same GWP bag on the same day, but receive a few different products.  So, we each receive the same number of items, but they may not all be the exact same products.

However, if it seems like you received less items than others, you may want to contact CS to see if they can ship you any substitute items (I can't promise they will be able to do anything, but you never know - their CS is usually pretty good).

If you don't mind my asking, which gift bag are you asking about?  I've probably redeemed 9 out of the last 10 offered, so I can try to compare what I received.  🙂

[denaxnguyen]

It was the recent 18 piece pink GWP bag! My bag came with only 17 items and also one of the items I had ordered came damaged. 😞 I wasn't sure what they could do about it, so I was planning to just let it go!

[Tamara76]

@denaxnguyen  I recommend calling Ulta CS - It can't hurt. 🙂

My daughter got the pink bag yesterday and here is what was included:

She received 20 items including the bag - the 2 Ulta body wash pouches came on one card, though, so maybe I should count 18 items plus the bag.

[SuzeAlex]

The eighteenth item is the pink bag.  It is normal for an "18 piece GWP" to include 17 items.
