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.

Yep, the item shows "coming soon", and the description section states "offer valid 1/12/17-1/17/17 or while supplies last".

[CAcay]

The description of the Sona bag has been updated to read:

Receive a FREE Sona Gasparian Beauty Bag with any $75 purchase (offer valid 1/12/17-1/17/17 or while supplies last). One per customer. While supplies last.

Jumped online real quick during my break at work and saw this - I was told I would get refunded after it shipped so now I'm a bit worried. I have seen where others have gotten theirs adjusted, but I wasn't 100% stoked on my CS rep. I really don't want to be charged $75 for that bag 😞

[ljgorham]

I was worried too, just had a reply to today's FB message and they are refunding it and apologized for the hassle.  Try messaging them on Facebook - quick and easy!  

[dd0214]

Now the Sona bag says 'Coming Soon'.

I have had it in my cart since yesterday, and now when I try to checkout, it says, 'Please Enter a Quantity Between 1 and 70' and it won't go through! The skincare bag is nice, but we wanna stack them GWPs!

[Vineetha]

update on the GWP refund : I had placed an order with the GP bag yesterday morning after being offered a refund post shipping. My order shipped yesterday evening and i received an email confirming the refund this morning without having to call back again! 

[FAB3444]

Just wanted to share my positive Ulta free bag experience. 

I posted yesterday that I called CS and was given a reference number for the refund. This morning I saw that my order including both bags had shipped so I called and again very quickly was given the $75 refund. I did spend an extra minute asking for my 6% tax refund and that was given as a separate refund but that's ok with me!

Sorry for those of you not experiencing the same and thank you @notcreative for sharing with us! 

[Nerisai]

Okay so I bet you guys are sick of seeing me post but like....Ulta is on my last nerve. 

I posted last night that I won a gift card from the instant win game, and I went to use it just now...and it says it has a balance of $0!

I don't even know what to say. This is the first time I've tried using it. And it's empty.

[itscarin]

That's a bummer.  Maybe it's taking awhile for the card to load?  Hopefully it resolves itself for you and dena.

[Nerisai]

I messaged the Ulta facebook (again) and told them about the giftcard, sent a bunch of screenshots to prove that I had actually won it, and their response verbatim was: Hi Adrienne, it appears this card was issued on 12/2/15 and was redeemed on 03/23/16.

Like what am I supposed to do with that information? Thanks for sending me a giftcard that was spent almost a year ago?

I responded again saying: I'm not sure what you want me to do with that information, but I have a timed and dated email saying I won a giftcard YESTERDAY.

And they told me to email the company that fulfills the giftcards. K.

(The email about the giftcard came directly from Ulta btw. The code they gave me is what led me to the spent card)

[denaxnguyen]

I called CS this morning and they said that corporate apparently gave me a gift card that was issued to someone else last year. The rep didn't know how to fix it and told me someone from corporate should call me back in 24-48 hours. 😕 Hopefully they call back 

[itscarin]

I have faith that they'll eventually make this right... but that is annoying to have to chase people around.

[denaxnguyen]

I never received a call back from corporate, but when I sent a message to their Facebook they sent me a e-giftcard pretty soon after! I hope it works out for you! @Nerisai

[itscarin]

That sounds like pretty bad customer service.  I hope they make it up to you.

[denaxnguyen]

Have you tried calling CS? I just checked my gift card that I won from the game and had the same problem as you. 😞 

[notcreative]

Sorry for the hassle with the delayed gift. Next time, I will not post them early, so I can make sure they go live as scheduled. Deals should not be a hassle, and I hope those who ordered and paid have no issues getting refunds.

[AmazingGrace333]

@notcreative please continue giving us advanced updates! I know I'm not the only one who appreciates being able to plan on purchases early and it's fun snagging deals right before they go oos! Maybe just put a disclaimer on your post for others if ever somebody is mad about it(though I doubt anyone is mad on you!). Like "dates/deals is subject to change without further notice"?

It's not your fault and you just posting what was initially planned..you have no control over the company's mess-up. 

[spikeorrn]

No worries @notcreative.  Not your fault & really appreciate all you do. 

[Tamara76]

Agreed!   We love you @notcreative!!!!! 💗💗💗

I just got a message back from Ulta Facebook saying, "This item does not appear to be available any longer."

[Nerisai]

I messaged the Ulta Facebook WITH THE LINK for the Sona bag and they said: "This item does not appear to be offered on our web site."

I just linked it to you???
