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...

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 |

I was pretty angry at ULTA for a while because there were TONS of amazing GWP coming out that I could not take advantage of. I tried placing an order every week but I got the dreaded "no can do!" every single time. It was very frustrating. Supposedly my complaint was going to get escalated to higher ups but they never got a hold of me. One day my account just worked again. I wrote them about it wanting to know if they ever figured out the issue. All I got was "Oh it looks like you were able to successfully place an order." Like seriously? They didnt even acknowledge my question. =/
Wow that's ridiculous.. makes me really mad.
I think it would be best to call customer service.
Have you had any returns or disagreements regarding purchase price and a credit card?
Not at all :'( I didn't return anything and nothing is wrong with my card gahhhhhhhhhh
I see that you've used PayPal for your Ulta purchases in the past. Sometimes, PayPal can really mess up someone's attempts to make purchases with a specific card, if that card has been used where there was a dispute with a prior payment. However, you stated that you've tried other cards as well. So it's not that particular PayPal issue.
Sorry you're having these problems 😞
Not GWP, but Ulta now carries the Human + Kind brand- they have the softest washcloth I've ever found! I am gonna add it to my basket for 20% off 😉
I agree @H216! I picked up the face cleanser with the cloth from Sephora when it was on sale...it's like a silk pillow. Lol I noticed at Ulta they have some different offerings from the brand. Including a box of 2 of the cloths for $10!
I got my Ulta order today. Instead of Viva La Juicy I got Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue (which is okay, I like that one, but I don't have Viva La Juicy so I was looking forward to that), and i didn't get the Benetint. Also did not receive the extra Juicy lotion. And I selected fragrance samples and got skin care. Drug store skin care. I shouldn't be complaining because it was free and I didn't pay the full $125 I should have, but I at least would have liked to get what was advertised. It's probably not worth contacting them over it, but it is a little disappointing.
I am very happy to have received what I actually ordered though. I got a small bottle of Viva La Juicy Noir and it's so cute. The Benefit bag is really nice too. So that's good.
I've learned not to get my hopes up with Ulta GWPs and I consider myself pretty lucky when I get everything as pictured and it's not damaged lol. My most recent order had just an empty sealed bag with no free samples in it. Like did the warehouse employee have vision problems not to notice a completely empty bag haha??? And then the living proof hair mask from the platinum bag wasn't sealed properly and had dried out.
Ulta does include a disclaimer on every image of the bag and every notice of the GWP offer that the products included might differ from the image. In my experience with Ulta, 1-3 of the products are somehow different, but usually for the better—a size upgrade, or a bump in class. Of course, that can be disappointing if you actually have your eye on something particular.
That said, I received both the Viva La Juicy sample and the Benetint, neither of which I will use. The Juicy's a little sweet for my taste, and I already have samples of the Benetint. If you're in the US, I'd be happy to trade a few samples. Just send me a PM. 🙂
Have you guys seen this new set at Ulta?
Very interesting sampler bag. Several of the items are free GWP at Cult Beauty.
The O.R.G and Botanic Farm has good reviews, from googling them. I do like Leaders products. Trying to figure out if this is worth trying out for the price with some small samples.
And I'm trying to figure out if I need an eye POINT remover....
Haha, they have to stay on for 5 minutes. That's to much of a commitment to remove my eye make up, let alone my eye. Still giggling
Real Technique brushes will be B1G1 tomorrow on Ulta. Online only.
thank you ! 🙂 🙂
I have a coupon for 40% off bareMinerals Mineral veil, and one for a free Ulta shadow, please pm if wanted.
Will pm back the code to redeem it online. I can also send the image of the store coupon if you like, just let me know.
The free Ulta eye shadow is good through 3/4
The bareMinerals Mineral Veil 40% off is good through 2/25
I won't be using this. Please comment if you take it!
So the coupon I received in my Platinum GWP bag keeps saying it's expired, I've tried typing it in multiple times and I've made sure I have the code right. Has anybody else had this problem? Kind of bums me out, I was going to place an order today. I guess I need to call CS?
On a totally unrelated side note, has anyone heard any rumors about what next quarters birthday gift will be? I know it's early....but my birthday is March 29th and my Ulta store every year usually lets me choose which quarter gift I would like to receive.....not really into the porefessional. 😕
I've always had trouble with ordering online through ulta. I gave up a year ago. Just put an online order through yesterday and it finally worked...
