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

Hi Paige! Thanks for answering me 🙂 I had no idea there were different sections of Ulta like that, neither did my mom (clearly lol). I wish she had gone to your store! I don't understand how people can be so blatantly rude to someone who is just asking for help 😞 

Re: Ulta GWPs

@vanessajoy   I am so sorry to hear about your mom's experience.  😞

 

There is one Ulta in my city that has always treated us really well, but the others have been hit or miss.

 

The Ulta closest to my house used to be awful (I'm talking cashier texting her friends at the register and ignoring the line of customers awful), but I completed every survey on every receipt and also sent them specific and actionable feedback. The location was just too convenient for me to stop shopping at.  I don't know if my feedback necessarily made a difference but it made me feel better and their service has gotten 100% better in last 6 months.  They have a new manager and the ladies and gentleman who work there now are really sweet.

 

I encourage you to complete the survey on your receipt and maybe reach out to the manager about your mom's experience.

Re: Ulta GWPs

That's a really good idea, I definitely will fill out a survey!! I appreciate your input @Tamara76

Re: Ulta GWPs

Sorry your mom had a bad experience 😞

I've only been into my local Ulta about 5 times since it opened 2 years ago and it is for that very reason. I get ignored even when there are no customers in the store but I don't mind it too much since I know where everything usually is. They did help me out with a return that I made where I happened to be just one day over the time limit but they didn't make a fuss and took it back.

Re: Ulta GWPs

I have been dying for ulta to come to Canada for so long, but now I don't know why, if employees are so unhelpful :(. If their website shipped to Canada though that would be a whole different story lol 

 

 

Re: Ulta GWPs

I've never had a particularly bad experience at Ulta (though I rarely shop there), but I usually just get ignored while I browse on my own. It definitely has more of a drug store vibe where you (or at least I) don't really expect help from anyone.

 

I don't know about other Ulta stores, but the ones here always seem to be out of stock on tons of items. I went in a store Saturday morning to look for a Maybelline lipstick I wanted, but half of the display was empty. Same with Too Faced. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

I checked their store availability for each item before my mom went in. They all said available but only 2 of the 4 items I wanted were actually in stock in store 😞 I know the store availability isn't always accurate but booooo, I've been really wanting to try some Mario Badescu skin care 🙂

Re: Ulta GWPs

For my Ulta's near me it is. I've only had two friendly sales people. One I knew personally. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

There are like hundreds of Ultas and thousands of Ulta employees, so be prepare to get all sorts of answers.  lol!!! 

 

No, they are not rude.  Everyone at Ulta is always very nice to me.  It is a nice store. 

 

She was told to ask someone for help at the cashier because she went to the wrong area. She went to the prestige/salon area.   I am not sure what 20% coupon you gave her but the $3.50/$15 coupon is a lot more common. 

 

Sorry, your mom had that kind of experience.  That is just not right!  She sounds like a sweet lady doing your shopping and all. 

 

What were you trying to buy???  

Re: Ulta GWPs

I wanted a few Mario Badescu items (the facial spray, toner, and whitening mask) as well as an Essence highlighter. Fairly small list.  Maybe she was in the wrong area and maybe the coupon was not valid , but they could definitely have been more friendly towards her. Even simply explaining that she was in the wrong area and finding someone else to help her would be a lot more helpful than just aaying "I do brows" and trying to walk away. 

 

Overall it it was a terrible experience for her and I feel bad.

Re: Ulta GWPs

I got my Sona Gasparian bag today - missing the lashes, micellar water, and bronzer ☹️ I ordered after everything went live/free, and the order shipped from Indiana. I sent an email, haven't heard back yet. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

I find that the IN warehouse does a good job (not to mention I get my orders super quick from there). Sorry you didn't get your items @JayAitchGee :(. I'm expecting a package from them tomorrow I think so we'll see if my bag is missing items as well.

On another note I went into a new(er) Ulta store today and asked if they had any of the promos available as I had my emails ready to go and was told no. She then opens this big drawer of all these GWP's and I asked about the and she was like "we don't have anything." Really??? You have a box right there of so many DS products (Urban Decay, Buxom, Benefit etc) and you can't give me anything?? That just burned my biscuit I'm sorry. Also they had a bunch of junk in their clearance section - I never have good luck with anything like that 😄

Re: Ulta GWPs

Sephora inside JCpenney store did same thing. Well, it's happened everywhere if she doesn't like you.
