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.

Two new multipliers!

Must.ignore.opi

😄

[txcatx]

@RGbrown Ooh, I got the NYX one, too. I've been trying so hard to ignore my Anastasia multiplier!

[denn2626]

I WANT THAT ABH LIP KIT 😭😭😭

[BrwnSugaG]

saw the email too late - the models own set is oos

[howconnie]

You guys always do so much better than me, but I feel pretty good about this one. I passed on the buxom and thymes but was able to get a few freebies with my purchase. The $10 coupon applied to these sale items.

[smileypretty]

You are pretty good in using your points 1000 for $50 off, but I can't seem to do that because 2000 gets me $125, I feel that I lose out on 1000 points. Which I end up hoarding points and spending cash, I always try to wait for a purchase of $125 to use points. But one day deal makes it hard to always sum $125 when I technically don't need anything hahaha

[RGbrown]

@smileypretty

Agreed that $125 is a much better value than $50 x2...most of the time lol! If the freebies are worth it, I'll sometimes do 2 $50 transactions instead of one at $125 just to get an extra gwp 😄 And yup, there are plenty of times when I either don't have 2k points, or just can't find $125 to buy. And in any case, I don't want to feel like I have to spend $125 to get a $30 or $40 or $50 buy-in gift, but sometimes it's nice to get them with no OOP. It all comes down to a cost vs benefit analysis, which can vary by person, but I do see 1000 points/$50 as a very cost-effective outlay, even if it's not always the best value for the points since there can be other factors involved 😄

[Christinaco]

Here's my order, I didn't get the points multiplier for 30/60 spend so I was just trying get the most gifts for the least oop. I skipped on the buxom but got most of the others. I almost got the abh lip kit because of the sale, but, I never ever wear lipstick, so why?

[RGbrown]

@howconnie

What $10 coupon? All I can think of is the Smashbox one; curious what else there is!

[howconnie]

I think it was my birthday present 🎁 

[RGbrown]

@howconnie ahhhhhh, ok, yup those work on anything! Nice score!

[ohheyitscindyk]

Here is the whole Platinum Perk email for anyone interested 🙂

Spoiler

[RGbrown]

There are some nice deals and freebies today...so tempting! 

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown I've spent so much recently, but I'm tempted to place an order!

[RGbrown]

@ohheyitscindyk

I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that I am currently playing with my cart to see just how many freebies I can get for the lowest possible price, even after spending boatloads during the 20% 😊

The thymes bath set works on bogo50 stuff...i.e. 2 x $10 @ bogo50 = $15 and both thymes items become free even though the threshold is $20. 

[RandeeJ9]

@RGbrown @ohheyitscindyk

The free thymes works with soap & glory too using the glory30 for 30% off. Plus, the 5x points on soap & glory! I bought the "Soaper Woman" set which is $20, but after the coupon, only $14 and I still got the free thymes and 5x multiplier. I spent $54.50 after tax, not too shabby for all the freebies. Excited to try the my little pony palette for half off! 😄

[RGbrown]

@RandeeJ9 Nice! I forgot about the S&G coupon...might have to play some more lol. 

The MLP palette is fun! I now regret getting it 30% off from Pur direct lol.

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown Ooh thanks for letting me know.. My mom has been wanting the Thymes, so I keep thinking I should get the freebies as a gift for her!

[RGbrown]

I think I might be settling on this. Lots of freebies, and still leaves me over $60 for my bonus 250 points. I can knock out quite a few stocking stuffers and gifts, and still keep a couple of things for me!

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown Yes, that's a good amount of freebies!!
