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.

I really wasn't going to buy anything, but I gave in and just got an Urban Decay eyeliner and Benefit Roller Lash mascara for $36 using my 20% off, and I got free shipping, that $30 buy-in GWP bag, and 297 points. 

[alexalicious]

diamond 1.5 + 10x item + 5x on same item = 14.5 or so points per $. that's so crazy! Never thought I'd see that! +use the current coupon 20% one non-presti item or whatever you have. +use ibotta (if you have app) = another 9% cash back on total pre-tax

[Feebee1115]

Some products from the previous event too. I think you can see the old list on temptalia

[alexalicious]

So is that stackable on top of those points with $xx purchase that some people got yesterday? That would be insanely cool?! Surprised to see Orgain, but they do make awesome protein shakes.

[alexalicious]

I don't know if that is awesome or dangerous, probably a bit of both! They had a good variety on 10x last time round, so curious to see what they have this time. Hopefully its stuff my hubby needs because I need nothing else at this point.

This event last year was pretty small, 54 items IIRC, which is a tiny tiny tiny slice of the thousands of items Ulta carries. I'm actually not terribly expectant that there will be much I want, but hopefully they expand it a bit this year with more selection 😏

[Danzie89]

It’s also my birthday month so I have the 2x points offer to stack as well. Hmmmm....

[RGbrown]

@alexalicious

I've never seen a points offer that didn't stack 🙂

[Feebee1115]

I’m wondering too, but I don’t have another 20% off code 😢

[lippieaddict19]

I'm excited and glad we have a 20% to stack this time around! I think there should also be a $150 buy in GWP today, although it seemed to mostly be just repeat samples 

[Ispend2much6]

EDIT:  This is getting weird.  The gift card was for me "calling in" and saying I didn't get a refund for some items I purchased in June.  The thing is, I never made that call.  And I still have those items in my possession.

I was all excited because it looked like my account had been fixed, but it looked different because the Coach fragrance multiplier had expired...

I talked to customer service, again, tonight, and  she told me that the 20% codes are randomly given, and that she couldn't give me one!  Even after I explained all that I've missed as a result of their IT issues.

However, I did get a $51 giftcard with no explanation, and not related to returns to Ulta that I can see.  I receive a  $53 dollar one two weeks ago with the explanation they were sorry they hadn't given me my points.  I have no idea what's going on.

@Ispend2much6,

You have a fairy godmother at Ulta!  Really!   🙂

[Ispend2much6]

@tsavorite  Some days it seems like it!

[alexalicious]

I'd say you scored! Much easier to use GCs than trying to spend points in 2000/$125 increments so get full value. Still, I understand all the hassle you've been through as that was me all of Sept. Crazy thing tho, I don't think my emails or multipliers are coming through now either...

[Ispend2much6]

@alexalicious  I'm sorry to hear that; the list keeps growing...I just sorted my makeup and I think I do have those items, but I'm anxious to check again.

[Indy701]

@Ispend2much6 Wow. Is the IT issue now just giving you gift cards. 😂. 

[Ispend2much6]

@Indy701  I guess it's not bad, is it?  🙂

[Feebee1115]

Does anyone have a 20% off they aren’t using? I would appreciate it 

[Luvstravel]

@Feebee1115, I sent you a private message.

[alexalicious]

9% cash back on Ibotta + $2 online shopping bonus

[sarahshter]

If anyone has another 20% off coupon I’d use it, two things I wanted to buy came back in stock today and of course I haven’t gotten ulta emails in months...
