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):
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
Links are not allowed. In lieu of links, please read this:
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.
Multiplier | 1 | 1.25 | 1.5 | 2 | 2.25 | 2.5 | 3 | 3.25 | 3.5 | 4 | 4.25 | 4.5 | 5 | 7.25 | 7.5 | 8 | 8.25 | 8.5 | 9 | 9.25 | 9.5 | 10 | 10.25 | 10.5 |

Thank you Jaza! I wasn't leaning one way or the other, but if Ulta's beauty products are that bad, I'm definitely gonna get the shampoo by default 🙂
@pinyo I think it means the bag is the treat.
Do you have to buy anything from a certain brand to qualify for either of your unique codes (I didn't get these, so I'm not sure of the terms)?
If you can choose any color shadow, that sounds like a fun freebie.
I've never tried AG cleanser, so I can't advise on that one....
@Tamara76 both codes said with any purchase, but idt I can combine them since ulta only accepts 1 coupon per order.
I just realized though...I can use my 20% off in store and get both freebies in store right?
EDIT: bummer. I was so excited because with the 20% off code, I could have gotten a Clinique item for free, but I just realized the code doesn't apply to Clinique. I was so psyched to stack all these deals so well...
😞 Yeah there are always different versions of 20% coupons floating around - some exclude all prestige and fragrance, some just exclude fragrance, some exclude certain brands....
Do you have the link to the Google doc where we post Ulta freebies? It includes freebies that usually don't require promo codes so you can stack them.
Yes I have the link, but I didn't see the in store coupon versions.
Do you know if I'm able to use someone else's 20% code in stores?
@pinyo Yes you could! I used my friend's code yesterday in store.
New Platinum Perks! The elf cream should count as part of the $125 minimum for the platinum gift bag
UPDATE: It seems the gift bag is already sold out, even though they advertised it again in today's email 😞
Here is how my email looks like:
I was like: what!!?? It's OSS already!? why did you advertise an OOS bag??? just to tease us..!!?? 😛
Just popped in to post the PB&H early access!! I love the little tin palettes - especially if they are scented!
GWP bag also sold out for me....
The GWP bag was sold out yesterday afternoon when I tried to get it.
I got the platinum bag for $82. The gifts with purchase count towards the buy in dollar value. The ud and Smashbox are $20 right there and that's open regardless of what you buy. If you do 30 bucks or more with chart you get another $10 gift. I think urban decay also has a $10 gift with a $30 purchase. Living proof has a $25 buy-in gift, so that's another $10. Hypothetically your $30 urban decay purchase, your $30 tarte purchase, and your $25 living proof purchase would get you over that $125 buy-in. With the 20% off coupon that would get you down to $68 for the bag.
The Tarte eyeshadow palette looks really nice. I was looking at it in store yesterday and it was quite tempting.
@alexasteph I picked up the Tarte palette a couple months ago and have been pleasantly surprised with it. I use a primer all the time, but fwiw, I think the shadows have good color payoff. The duo chromes I apply without an eyeshadow base, but the darker mattes, I like to layer on top of the lighter ones for better blending. I haven't used it during this 25 days of eyeshadow challenge bc I'm trying to use my less visited palettes and I'm really missing it.
At Christmas I travelled with this and one UD palette and was very happy. Probably could have travelled with it alone.
I've purchased tarte products before and I haven't loved them but I keep holding out hope I'll find something I like. You can't go wrong with the highlighters, right?
Check your emails!
Got a 3x points multiplier on all Ulta beauty brand items.
And 1 free Ulta shadow pan with any purchase w/use of a unique code($8.50 value).
Make sure to check out the brand specific gwp page as well. Urban Decay, Tarte, etc have new gwps!
Thanks for posting about the new GWPs @StephaniLynn! I am so excited to pick up the tarte water bottle freebie!! I love lips lol. And for the heads up about the Ulta Beauty multiplier. I didn't get an email (which is the norm for me) but the multiethnic was in my account waiting to be activated. 🙂
Not "multiethnic" ....multiplier. Darn autocorrect.
Thanks @StephaniLynn!
The spreadsheet is updated if anyone is interested in trying (not sure if Ulta freebies work like the others and anyone can claim online)
@StephaniLynn unfortunately, the Living Proof freebie expired yesterday. The Philosophy one too.
Is there anyone knows the exp date of the 20% off coupon for platinum members??
I have to call the CS to get my code, and somehow the code they send to me states: valid through 12/24/2016??? But it's still working... I was wondering if it would be good until next Wednesday (beautybreak!)?
