Ulta GWPs

This thread will be for Ulta GWPs only.  Share ulta promos here.  

 

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):

 

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

Spoiler

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

@Aaliaa

Well in that case, the next 20% came out the Friday after Valentine's, so hopefully you'll be around through that weekend!

Re: Ulta GWPs

Thankss!!

Re: Ulta GWPs

I knew at some point in life those high school math classes would be important... at least the algebra has come in handy for understanding the Ulta points and multiplier systems.

Re: Ulta GWPs

If you ordered during the double 5X points for ABH and your points are not correct contact customer service. I was missing the second set of 5X points for my ABH item so I contacted them and they gave me the points - actually I thought I should get 84pts but they said I was supposed to get 124pts so no complaint there👍🏻👍🏻 ULTA’s customer service is awesome.

Question: I was under the impression that if you use points to pay for your order then you do not get any points for your purchase. At least this happened to me the last time I made a purchase with my points. All these 5x's on different things is really tempting...

Re: Question: I was under the impression that if you use poin...

You still get the points but it will be much lesser. I think the best time to spend your points was during the discount promos rather than during the points multiplier promo.

Re: Question: I was under the impression that if you use poin...

@niki172 You still get the bonus points but not the base points. 

Example. You have an 5x multiplier for Estee Lauder. You redeem points for an item for $20. You get 80 bonus points (20 x 4) but not the base points (20 x 1.25) 

At least that’s what I think😆😆

Re: Question: I was under the impression that if you use poin...

@katkapivarciI can confirm that's what happens based on my receipts.

 

It's pretty exciting that they give you bonus points when you are already redeeming points.  I'll just leave it at that.  Let's hope that never changes and let's do our best to keep it "our little secret".  0:)

Re: Question: I was under the impression that if you use poin...

I guess it's worth a shot just to get to the last page and see how many points I'll supposedly get if I check out. Thanks @katkapivarci 🙂

Re: Question: I was under the impression that if you use poin...

@niki172 Yes, that's exactly what I do when I want to know how much points I get for my order. Also if you place an order I recommend to take a screenshot of the points amount because sometimes they mess up and don’t give you the right amount of points after your order processes. Happened to me last time. 

Re: Question: I was under the impression that if you use poin...

@katkapivarci it's odd. I have only 5x point items in my bag and each time I try to use points to pay for my order it cuts the amount of points earned in half. It makes me leery.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Just got 5x points on Clarisonic, Estee Lauder, Clarins, Clinique, Murad, Exuviance, ProActiv, & Patchology through Saturday, the 27th 🙂

Re: Ulta GWPs

Ok so I placed an order with ABH item as I had 2 5x multipliers and 100pts with $30 purchase. When I placed the order it showed me I’ll earn around 350pts ( don’t remember the exact number) but after my points were updated I just got 269 so it looks like they didn’t honor the double multiplier. Somebody else has the same issue? And also are we supposed to earn base points for the Daily Beauty Steals?? Because I didn’t get any for my item..oh, and I’m Platinum and didn’t use points for this purchase.

It should be another 84pts for the second 5x multiplier.It should be another 84pts for the second 5x multiplier.

 

Shouldn’t I get 8 base points?Shouldn’t I get 8 base points?

 

Re: Ulta GWPs

@katkapivarci   I'm not good at this, but it does seem like the second ABH multiplier was not included.

Where did you find this summary?  I don't have anything like it.  Thanks!

 

Re: Ulta GWPs

I found this on the app. 

More -> Hi, ... View Account Details -> Ultamate rewards -> Points history -> and then click on the purchase you want to see.   

 

I’ll send them an email and lets see what they say🤞🏻

Re: Ulta GWPs

Both of my orders shipped, but my new point total hasn't adjusted yet on my laptop.  It will be interesting.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@katkapivarci

Sometimes I don't understand how Ulta displays the points earned...they seriously make it more complicated than it needs to be

 

$21 * 5.25 = 110 (ABH with 5x & Platinum)

$9.99 * 5.25 = 52 (NYX with 5x & Platinum)

$6 * 1.25 = 7 (Origins with Platinum)

 

Total 169 points, plus your 100 for spending $30 = 269 points

 

The display shows you didn't get any base points for Origins, but the grand total says otherwise since they match.

 

D@mn shame it doesn't look like they are honoring the double 5x on ABH though 😞

Re: Ulta GWPs

@RGbrown I know right!!! I’m having flashbacks of all the math homeworks everytime I tried to figure out how they calculate stuff😂

Help, please! I am still failing at calculating points. �...

Help, please! I am still failing at calculating points. 🤣 So I am Platinum and I had the two 5x pts on ABH, 250 pts on $60 purchase and made a purchase of $128 of ABH products, redeemed 2000 pts ($125), paid $3.25 out of pocket and it says I earned 1027 pts. Is that correct?

Re: Help, please! I am still failing at calculating points. �...

@smf16yeah that could be correct...if you pay at least a little over the $125 redemption, the bonus points get applied as "earned", but the base points are "redeemed" so you wont get those...or something like that lol I'm also going to guess that they probably didn't apply the 250 pts on a $60 since in the transaction you only paid ~$3

 

Bonus points (8*128) + Base (3*1.25) = 1027 🙂
