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

Grrrrr

I had contemplated waiting until midnight to use my 20% (since they work til 2am central) to see if there would be any good multipliers or sales on the items I wanted. Then their site went haywire and I figured I better get my order in while I could, before it potentially got worse and I was SOL. So of course a nice multiplier pops up 😒

Re: Ulta GWPs

I'm seeing Urban Decay Moondust palette listed half price as a "Hot Buy" so I guess there are others out there, no email about it. Not sure if it is even newly on sale.

Re: Ulta GWPs

It wasn't on the sale page yesterday, so it should be new.

 

The one thing I dislike about Ulta's site is how slow they are to update the sale page...it doesn't update automatically, so for instance, right now all of the Spring Haul stuff is still on it, even though it's not on sale anymore. I guess they update it manually, and that'll be done sometime during the day (sometimes they don't even update it until Monday). So finding anything new on sale before that's done is just happenstance 👎

I sometimes think there's just one person updating everyt...

I sometimes think there's just one person updating everything AND entering new product information. 😛

Ulta GWPs

FYI for anyone that still has a coupon. Interesting.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Finally got my order in, what a nightmare. I had issues with Chrome, so I switched to Safari. Then it was glitching there & I switched back to Chrome. My 20% off code wouldn't apply, then I couldn't use a gift card or PayPal.

Re: Ulta GWPs

The site is still glitchy.  I thought I had checked out, but it didn't go all the way through.  However, the site was able to empty out my usable rewards points taking the total to zero, even though I have the correct amount of "points earned" listed.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Update: I was able to use the app no problem to place my order. The website is still acting up!

Excellent! I was just going to suggest the app because it...

Excellent! I was just going to suggest the app because it was working fine for me. I ultimately use the Ebates app for the actual purchase, which often glitches out & goes nightmare slow. If anyone's experiencing problems on the Ebates end, I've had good luck copying my shopping code then contacting Ebates with purchase details after buying on the Ulta app.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Is anyone else having trouble getting onto the site, signing in, and/or deleting products from the cart?  I wonder if there are a lot of people waiting until the last minute to use the 20% code, like me.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Ispend2much6,

The Ulta site won't let me check out on 3 different Browsers, no matter how I am going to pay.  This is more than frustrating. This is just a nightmare, right, and it will all be okay when I wake up?

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Ispend2much6@itscarin@dguest

Try swapping your browser; I use Chrome for pretty much everything, but moving over to IE allowed me to at least get an order in relatively hassle free...I could sign in, get to my cart (which was already loaded), apply points, and check out pretty easily. Hopefully that'll help 🙂

Re: Ulta GWPs

@RGbrown  Thank you!  I tried Firefox and Opera and had issues.

Re: Ulta GWPs

This is what we get for waiting for a better deal.  It let me add points to my order but it will not let me pay for the remianing $2 I owe with credit card, paypal, or giftcard.  I'm considering dropping the extra points to make the order.  😕

Re: Ulta GWPs

@itscarin  That's happened to me before, and when I've logged out and back in it works.  I've tried different browsers, so I know it's Ulta's site that's the problem.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Ispend2much6 i cant log in either. the whole site seems wonky. remember ulta runs on central time so you should have until midnight central time to use the coupon. im keeping my fingers crossed. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

@dguest  Thanks!  It would be nice to use that 20% on top of points.

Re: Ulta GWPs

I couldn't sign in at all! Ended up driving to Ulta and making my purchases in person.

@stemchick You're a brave soul for going in person on a Saturday! Fortunately, you didn't miss out on any GWP's.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Ispend2much6

Was just coming to see if anyone else was having problems. YES, I am. Can barely login, maybe, sometimes, but then it kicks me back out. If I'm lucky enough to get to my cart and can actually click through to the last page of checkout, I can't redeem any points once I get there. Super frustrated right now...
