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.

I didn't get one either and I am so annoyed. ๐
Thank you ๐๐ค
The codes are unique. I doubt they'll be multi-use, but perhaps someone can share theirs after they use it so that someone else can test that. I have one, but personally I'll be holding off a few days to see if any deals I'm interested in pop up before using it.
In the mean time, perhaps shoot ulta an email asking about one. I've had success with that before, so it's worth a shot!
I am a little floored that there's no Beauty Break today...in the almost-a-year now that I've been watching them, I've never seen a Wed pass by without one. If the UD early access event is what triggered skipping it, I hope Ulta doesn't do any more Wednesday releases...I'm too attached to dependable schedules lol. Yesterday's clinique gift wasn't tempting to me at all...figured I'd wait and see what today brought. Now I have a cart full, but no gwp ๐
Guess I should have realized something was up yesterday...I've never seen a bonus bb on Tuesday either...they are usually on Monday or Friday.
There have been a couple of weeks, though very, very few, where I've seen a Tuesday BB and then while awaiting the Wednesday BB, they've skipped it. So I've noticed this before, but it's pretty infrequent.
@RGbrown I was waiting for today's as well ๐ I also think it may be due to the UD early access.
UD Naked Heat is live (palette, liners and lipsticks) ๐
This kind of explains the random gifts that are mailed out...
Would like to know how they validate the data.
There was a funny article a few years ago about how Target was able to fairly accurately guess which customers were pregnant or about to become pregnant based on their purchasing data. They were able to send targeted coupons and flyers to the women for diapers and whatnot but eventually stopped when people complained that it was too invasive. Big data is a massive industry and it's accuracy at predicting consumer spending habits is a bit too on the nose for me, but there's no way around it ๐
A couple of years ago, Target started sending me and my DH baby coupons. We both laughed and said their data was somehow off. Then, Sam's club sent me a new mother offer for a free membership. We're both a bit too old for babies, but we used the free Sam's club offer.
I agree with @Annalily11 it's prob based on our ulta rewards/account. I work in the tech industry and there's some pretty powerful tools out there and a whole lotta data. They can track orders/returns, click through on emails, purchases with multipliers, searches, cart abandonment, just to name a few
They probably keep track via our Ulta cards. I wouldn't be surprised if their computers have pretty full work ups of all of us.Tech can be scary accurate with these things. I swear the ad programs know if I even look wistfully at a top in a shop window, cause next thing I know it'll be bombarding me.
All loyalty cards operate that way. Whether it's the grocery store loyalty card or Sephora's or Pharmacies'. They throw you some discounts/perks/freebies in exchange for your data. They're tracking how much and which products you're buying.
Hmmm, well, sadly Ulta knows I'll shop even if they don't send me a free palette or target me with a code for a free DS mascara, so they don't bother sending those things to me lol ๐
Not sure if anyone else noticed, but in the email, it says that today's BB was extended to 4pm CT. I wonder if it's something new they're trying that might be a permanent extension? ๐ค
@phantompenguinx I've seen them extend a beauty break every now and again...I think it's more of a "we still have inventory of this gift" thing...but so many of them sell out long before 2pm that extending them to 4pm isn't really possible.
I do wish they'd work on having enough inventory to reliably run them to 4pm though...that would be awesome!
@RGbrown Ah that makes sense about the inventory...I feel like it's a tease, like you say they usually sell out before that time anyways.
In the end, ulta wins haha people like me who didn't make a purchase with the BB, but saw the email are now thinking ulta is so awesome by extending ๐
Oh wow, your "surprise" comment made me realize it's only Tuesday. I saw the email and just assumed it was Wednesday. :Facepalm: lol
Edit: it didn't help that the email also advertises the ud naked heat one-day offering tomorrow lol
