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

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.

@Madeline7 Yes they do! It's not a straight 4x though, because the base point only counts once. So it would break down like so:

1 base point + 1 extra point (for regular 2x points) + 1 extra point (for birthday 2x) = 3 points for every dollar spent

If you're Platinum, you also get the 0.25 bonus so it would be 3.25 points per dollar spent.

[itscarin]

@Madeline7- yes you don't get the birthday gift until the actual day of your bday.

[Madeline7]

Wow!  Thank you 🙂  Between 3x points, the 20% off, and this gift card, might be time for me to cash out lol!

It looks like they don't send you the birthday gift coupon until the actual day of your birthday, right?

Check your emails! I just received an email for 20% a online or in store purchase. Includes prestige and fragrance. Excludes the usual Chanel and Dyson, BUT it also  excludes the new UD Naked heat Palette.... Expires Saturday the 19th!

[RGbrown]

Sigh. Totally should have seen this coming...in the middle of an ad with practically nothing on sale...there are never many deals overlapping the 20%.

Not that I'm complaining lol 😅

Excludes Naked Heat though? Really? How odd.

[Madeline7]

Has anyone tried using this multiple times?

[RGbrown]

@Madeline7 to expound a bit on what @Kay522, count on one use only; most, if not all, will only work once. But for some odd reason, we've seen a few codes the last few rounds that were indeed multi-use. So...use your code, and then hope for the best!

[Kay522]

@Madeline7 People used to have luck using these 20% off codes twice - once online and once in store. Ulta has since cracked down on this, it only works once total now. So you'll need to pick either online or in store only.

[myumew]

I just got mine! Ulta wants all of my money 😩

[ohheyitscindyk]

@dd0214 Wait, my email says it ends next Saturday, does yours say this Saturday?

[dd0214]

I know! They already got me yesterday and now I'm building up a cart. Maybe we will see a GWP before it ends this Saturday?

[iwantitfree]

Just got my email.  Now I have to figure out what to get.  I have over 2K points and I know there's some 'Ulta point magic' I'm supposed to follow.  But....what is that?  I know I am to combine my 20% off with my $125 worth of points (how many is that?).  That's all I know!

To top it off....I really don't need anything.

Or....was I supposed to wait for a points multiplier too?

So confused!

[RGbrown]

With 20% and $125 in points, look to add somewhere around $160 to your cart. After 20% off, that becomes $128, and after points, $3. 😀

The general site wide 2x/3x points will be calculated on $3 (or whatever your oop winds up being), so it's negligible, but brand specific multipliers seem to work a bit differently, *as long as you mix points and non-points brands* in your order. I haven't fully put my finger on it yet, but if you have the multipliers for Bliss and Murad (or whatever ones you may have) and are interested in something from either, mixing them in your order along with items without multipliers should earn you a few extra points on top of the $3 outlay in the example above.

[mwg1]

2K is the sweet spot for spending points. Basically if you have 100 points they're worth $3, but 250 points aren't worth $7.50 they're worth $8. It keeps going up like that until you get to 2K. After 2K it restarts (2100 points are worth $128). So right now you're going to get even more value out of those 2K points because the 20% off deduction is taken first, so your points are worth more (I'm terrible at math so I can't tell you the exact number). One thing to remember is that point multipliers don't matter because you only earn them on what money you actually spend.

I'm platinum, and I didn't receive an email with a 20% code the last two times they were sent out in the past couple months. I actually ended up calling Ulta CS and they gladly sent me a unique 20% code via email. I'd probably try calling them if you haven't received an email by tomorrow morning!

[itscarin]

@BrwnSugaG The 20% off came a little earlier than expected.  There's still multipliers active, too.  Now would be a great time to buy!

[RGbrown]

Tarte gift now OOS as well. I was contemplating "just one more order" but I guess I'm done now. Thank you Ulta for making it easier on my wallet lolol 😛

[phantompenguinx]
