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

Full size Smashbox liquid lipstick and full size Tarte blush.. I found some full size items in Sona set worth more than $10-15. I hope everyone is happy with this 🎁  💳 

Re: Ulta GWPs

My order originated in Harrisburg, PA.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@EskimoPie1 There must definitely be an issue with that warehouse. That's where both of my SG bags came from and they both were missing the same 3 items everyone else is missing. I placed the first order while the bag was glitchy and they had to give refunds, and then another went it officially went live, so the fact that the bag is missing stuff has nothing to do with the date the order was placed. It's the warehouse.

Re: Ulta GWPs

So, I have placed two orders with Ulta for the SG bag: one on 1/8 when they offered to credit me the $75 since it wasn't free yet and then a second order on 1/13 with the promo code. I received my first bag last Friday, and just like a lot of other people, it was missing the Ardell lashes, the Rimmel bronzer, and the Garnier Micellar Water. I called and spoke to a rep who told me he would ship out a replacement bag. I never received an email confirmation for this new bag or any other word from Ulta since that phone call about the replacement bag. Today I received my second bag and what do you know- it's missing the SAME three items. I called Ulta just now and the rep told me that they don't ship out replacement GWP beauty bags and he was sorry that I was misinformed by the previous rep. That just isn't their policy. He told me he could send me an electronic gift card within the next 24 hours in lieu of the six missing items from both orders. Hopefully this helps any one out who is missing items from the SG bag.

Re: Ulta GWPs

My bag was also missing the same items and I called, and they offered me a giftcard...but it never came. I've literally called three times for the past week about it and never received anything. They even asked for a different email address to send it to, and it never showed up. I literally give up with Ulta right now. 

 

I placed an order for some foundations last night and was able to double dip the Sona bag, so hopefully when it arrives tomorrow, it'll be fully intact. But I doubt it. I'm just not going to bother calling anymore.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Wanted to report that I placed two orders (one from my account and one from my teenage daughter's) and the orders arrived today with the Sona Gasparian bag fully in tact. All contents that were listed on the Ulta site are included in both bags. I wonder if they hadn't received the bags in the warehouse when some of the really early orders were placed ( those who had to call CS for the refund) and so the warehouse workers did what they could to fulfill the order. What do you guys think? I hesitated to have that much money tied up waiting for a refund so I waited until the code was active. Hopefully the folks impacted will get a nice gc from Ulta...and hopefully the orders shipping now include the right bags.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Just posted right after you my situation. I don't think it has to do with the timing, seeing as I placed two orders: 1 when the bad wasn't working yet and I had to receive a refund, and another order later on when the code was working and it was free. Both orders are missing the same three items. I'm guessing it might have to do with what warehouse they're getting packaged and shipped from. I live in Miami, so mine are coming from Pennsylvania. I was hoping when I placed my second order, that maybe since the first bags shipped out where missing items, they would fix this problem in the packaging department, but they clearly didn't. @petitesweetmom

Re: Ulta GWPs

@natalyf oh no that sux! I agree, doesn't sound like a timing thing. Could be the warehouse. I live in IL and my orders ship from the Indiana warehouse. Anyone else have experience with these warehouses?

Re: Ulta GWPs

Don't know if this is just me but I couldn't get the Bliss freebie page up to add it.

 

But I stacked the skincare bag and my second SG bag with the UD primer and (just one!) Strivectin beauty break so I'm pretty happy and pleased to see everyone's magical orders!

Re: Ulta GWPs

Just curious- which item(s) did you add to qualify for the skincare bag?

Re: Ulta GWPs

Sorry for the late reply @yezz07I added 3 CeraVe Facial Moisturising Lotion PM (Item#: 2254422) and 1 CeraVe Moisturising Lotion (Item#: 2234848) which added up to $42.97 of skincare (they're BOGO 50% off). With the value of the GWP it seemed that qualified for the skincare bag.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Here's what I was able to get:

 
 

Re: Ulta GWPs

Nice stacking.  Did you use points to get the shampoo and lip balm for free?

Re: Ulta GWPs

@ragdoll4mom - no that's the Urban Decay and Bliss freebies that you're seeing. I'm waiting for a 20% off event before I use any of my points. I can see how it looks that way though :).

Re: Ulta GWPs

I'm kind of sad I missed out on the Strivectin item, that would had allowed me to get the skincare GWP. 

 

Here are the items that I ended up getting:

Re: Ulta GWPs

@yezz07Me too...but I still think we made out pretty well!

Re: Ulta GWPs

I just was able to make an order that stacked the skincare bag ($70 skincare buy in), the sona bag ($75 buy in), the beauty break ($40, $50 buy in), the bliss facial wash sampler, the ud primer potion sampler while purchasing haircare for $88 

 

crazy deal! 🙂 

Re: Ulta GWPs

Nice stacking!!! @HoneyBrownBunny  @wwTraveler  @Sodayui

Re: Ulta GWPs

Same here! Plus I had 5x on haircare so it was nice to stack up extra points. I love this thread :smileyvery-happy:

Re: Ulta GWPs

Sona bag is longer accepting promo code? Why?! Could it be sold out like any other variety bag that shows available but not for free??

Re: Ulta GWPs

The SG bag is a one-time use code. I tried placing a second order with it, and it won't come out as free. I logged into my mom's account, and it is free.
