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.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Right lol. If platinum wasnt going to get free over $25 then they should have at least offered free snh for diamond. Also why is the buy in higher than Sephora if they're trying to compete. I don't know but i also find ulta snh to be very slow   It's a catch 22 because there's more brands i buy at Sephora but i don't like the rewards system, less brands at ulta with a much better rewards system lol. Oh well , il just try to keep platinum every yr to not let the points expire 

Re: Ulta GWPs

I'm showing as platinum still.  I probably spent over or around (gulp) $2,000 there last year sadly.  😰

Re: Ulta GWPs

Well this sure is a disappointment in terms of additional perks. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

Wow! Go home Ulta, you're drunk. Smh

Re: Ulta GWPs

Lol best comment! I had similar thoughts, "Ulta, you trippin!"! But forreal, $1200?! Just to get free shipping over $25?! Shipping is where Sephora has always had Ulta beat and I guess it will stay that way.

Re: Ulta GWPs

I would give you many more hearts for this one if I could.

 

Re: Ulta GWPs

LOL thanks @ragdoll4mom @katkapivarci 😆😆

RE: Re: Ulta GWPs

$1,200 seems out of line. I was hoping for something a little lower with some better benefits, perhaps a little more competitive- like Ulta always has been. We will all show as Platinum until we reach the new spend threshold, though. If we reach it 🤔

Re: Ulta GWPs

$1200 a year and that's their new program??? Sorry, but for my 1K I get free shipping on all orders on Sephora regardless of dollar amount spent on order and other perks. Yes the points/reward system is better, but this is kinda lame. I'm going to assume it's not rolling over individuals who spent the $1200 last year automatically into their new tier? Thanks for posting this @ClassicallyFab.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@niki172  Sephora has us spoiled with the 2 day shipping 

Re: Ulta GWPs

Pretty much @darkiceis 😄

Re: Ulta GWPs

@niki172 I appreciate that Ulta is at least up front about their top tier not being that much better than their second tier -- unlike another beauty retailer I know. 😎

Re: Ulta GWPs

Yeah, @niki172, we’ll have to see if anyone else has become Diamond... I cant imagine That I spent less than $1200 (I’d be super proud of myself if I did, lol)... it seems like the whole Ruby and Emerald tiers were balogna.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Is there a way to check how much we spent?

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Maria88 I went back to my orders, but on my phone and iPad, they only go back to June.  I think on a desktopor laptop, you can go back to the beginning of the year.  

 

I don’t know an easier way to find my total spend, but I would love to know if anyone has tips.😊

Re: Ulta GWPs

I saw On Instagram that we can call customer service, and they’ll easily tell us our 2017 spend amount @Tamara76.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Thanks, @ClassicallyFab!   I know my spend between June and December was well over the $1,200Diamond minimum, so I really wish they’d bump me.😥

Re: Ulta GWPs

Same. It would’ve been awesome for last year’s spend to count for this new tier.😕 @Tamara76

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Tamara76 I still can't see how much I've spent even on my desktop PC!

It's only showing me orders from august of 2017 and says I am $450 away from staying platinum in 2019...that's all that I'm seeing right now! 😞 

 

Re: Ulta GWPs

When you get to the end of your visible order history on the PC, keep trying to force the system to scroll down. It will load older orders. If you placed a lot of orders in a single year, it will sometimes duplicate them or skip others with that method. Make sure you are not missing orders you know of or adding others twice. An Example, is it repeated my batch of orders from October (had a lot of orders in October and December) the last time I checked making it look like I had even more orders than I did, bit the orders from the middle of the year (which were not a lot) would not load for a while. At times, I have to refresh and start over. Ulta needs to fix its system. I wish they tallied it automatically the way Sephora does, but I think they are happier if we do not know how much we've spent. It took me a while to get to the first orders from the year.
