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.

@lasweetvie @ @Maria8  There is a great deal on the beauty blender case, 2 beauty blenders and cleanser today at usgwp

[Maria88]

@lasweetvie Yea I wanted that that BB carrier and it's been out of stock for hours already. =/

I ended up getting one from their own line, it's cheaper and it comes with a sponge. Ill probably end up getting the BB version too at some point though.

[Ispend2much6]

@RGbrown  The points are back to normal.  I made a cart (a wishlist, really,) that comes to $809.  I put in the 10x brand items and about $100 of non-10x items and it comes to 7783 points.

[RGbrown]

@Ispend2much6Unidentified

Yes, earning is normal. I should have been clearer that I was talking about redeeming points...we're losing 5x instead of the 1x anticipated. 😒

[Alicehoopz]

I think I cracked the code

They made the entire site 5x on all purchases. All "purchases" work with money only, not points. 

But the brand specific/item specific ones do count with points, hence why the customer appreciation day items are +5x points (6 points to adjust properly?? Maybe) and everything else in store isn't getting any points (unless it's clarins)

Ok wow I need to go to bed, that is my best guess after spending way too much time on this 😂

Edit: this is what you suspected exactly, isn't it haha

[CAcay]

I cashed in 2000 points and earned 640. All 10x offers in cart (but no Clarins- only bonus offer i have). I can’t figure out how they came up with 640, but even though I’m disappointed it’s better than it was last summer.

[lippieaddict19]

@RGbrown Yeah, it's slightly disappointing... I was planning on redeeming some points for another order, but only 5X makes me hesitate since the other 10X events throughout the year were calculating at 9X when redeeming points (but who knows if that will continue).It's not much different than a brand specific multiplier where you could get 4X when redeeming points. I guess the GWP that's available can serve as motivation lol

[RGbrown]

Ulta changed the link this year, but kindly spelled it out in the multiplier. Happy shopping everyone!!

Hi, @RGbrown,

Did you notice that you got promoted to Boss 3?  Congratulations! 

Thanks for all that you contribute to this Thread!  You are Awesome!   🙂

[RGbrown]

@tsavoriteUnidentified

I did, thanks so much 😊

[fresa20]

I can't get the link to work, not sure what I am doing wrong 😞 😞

[Ispend2much6]

@fresa20  Do you mean you can't see the brands/products that are included in the 10x multiplier, or that the extra points aren't showing up yet?  The extra points are not showing in my cart right now.  

The link is:  ultadotcom/diamond-platinum-appreciation-day

Type exactly that in your address bar (except change the dotcom to the normal way of typing addresses in the address bar.)

[fresa20]

@Ispend2much6 Thank you! At first when I was typing the link Ulta kept telling m "page not found" I was able to get in after a few tries. Then I noticed that my points aren't adding up correctly just yet. This is my first year participating in this but seems like this is normal. "/

[lippieaddict19]

I seriously can't contain my excitement! Ordering now to take advantage of the $75 gwp because I'm sure that will sell out quickly and I received a $15 off $50 that make's the deal even sweeter for me (yes, I'll get less points, but I love stacking a discount with extra points).

[Ispend2much6]

Congrats @lippieaddict19!  That sounds like a great plan.

[Ispend2much6]

LOL!  I missed that when I activated mine.  You have a great eye. @RGbrown

[alexasteph]

Free shipping as well!!!

[eshoe]

Totally 😂 that your screenshot shows activated already, @RGbrown. Mine won’t show up for a few more hours! 

[RGbrown]

@eshoeUnidentified

It just means I've activated the multiplier, not that points show up quite yet. I've noticed more and more lately that they don't actually calculate in my cart until after 2am central (though I have also noticed that I do get the correct points if I forget I'm waiting for them and accidentally place the order anyways). 

[eshoe]

Ok I was able to activate but nothing showing yet. Hoping it’s something I need, because my ❤️ Is set on a sole makeup brush for the Friday sale!!!

This has been the best Platinum/Diamond Perk Day since 2014. I stocked up on my Devacurl Wavemaker, Wash Day Wonder for the 10 X point value along with the Juvia Place Liquid Lipsticks in both colors and the Zoella Lip Oil which was previously discussed. I got the free beauty bag, Too Faced Primer and a free travel sized Wavemaker.

I noticed that Ulta Beauty products were included in the 10X promotions, so I purchased 2 Key Lime 3 in 1 Smoothie in a separate order but I forgot to add the Too Faced Primer deluxe free item. I received 147 points for that order and received 3 of the Key Lime 3 in 1 Smoothie which were on sale for $7.00 each. There was an additional offer of buy 2 get 1 free and each bottle contains 24 ounces of product.
