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.

What's up with the Platinum perk day?!  I thought it would be Monday or today but I don't see anything yet. Are they released later in the day?

[Feebee1115]

@itscarin oh shoot! It’s free with any purchase. So could even be the $5 travel sizes. 

[GalPalVal17]

@Feebee1115 Thanks for the heads up. I don't get much of their mailers but I'm hoping for this. I've been wanting to try the overnight mask.

[Feebee1115]

@GalPalVal17 yes I love that mask so I was very excited!

I know for the Clinique ones I signed up with the Clinique consultant in my store then started getting them. 

Make sure you call ahead to be sure she’s there. I went Wednesday and she wasn’t there so I went back today. Now I know her schedule 😂. And they have tons of Clinique samples too so you can ask her for other stuff. 

[GalPalVal17]

@Feebee1115 Thanks for the tips.

[Kim888]

Just wanted to say thank you to all you ladies for posting everything. Ulta is so confusing I would have actually no idea what was happening if it wasn't for this thread haha. 

After reading I think I will wait till tomorrow and see if the mystery gift goes life. That sounds kind of exciting and if the gift bag is out of stock I'll get over it haha 

[itscarin]

@Kim888 I'm still confused.  LOL!

[Feebee1115]

I might wait too. Or try to do 2 separate orders. I’m just not sure. I wish I knew what the Black Friday deals were to compare. 

[Kim888]

@Feebee1115 so true - i'm like are they trying to lure me in now because there's something better coming haha 

[magda124]

Curious if everyone is waiting to stack with a mystery bag or has pulled the trigger to make sure the gift bag doesn't run out? 😅 ahhh... trying to be patient cuz I really don't need to make 2 $65 purchases but getting antsy hahahaha

[NatureGirlSD]

@magda124 I'm holding off since the bags aren't really interesting me & too many packets. Going in store now to scope out lippies & palettes before pulling the trigger online later. (I have about $65 budgeted, so I def want the most bang for the buck!)

[Feebee1115]

@NatureGirlSD I did the same thing today. The Morphe James Charles palette is out at stores so I got to check it out. Was hoping they had their Kylie displays up but nothing yet. 

[Feebee1115]

I want to stack with a mystery bag. So far everything I want is in stock so I’m willing to take the risk 😂

[socalsunflower]

Depends on how important the GWP bags are to you/ what items you have in your cart. Last year I was being indecisive and by the time I was ready to order the mystery bags had gone live, but the some of the sale items in my cart had gone OOS. I did get both bags but I missed out on some of the sale items because I waited too long.. 

[magda124]

Great insight, thank you! My cart is full of stuff that is not part of the sale, so I'm not too worried about it selling out. I was more concerned about the GWPs selling out. 😊 I'll keep waiting.

[RGbrown]

@magda124Unidentified

I'm waiting 😁

None of the current bags are tempting enough to me on their own; assuming at least one survives through til tomorrow, I'll pick up some stuff with a mystery gift. For now, I'm going to comb the sales (3528 items!!) and really figure out what I want 💰😂

[magda124]

Yup, good deal.. decided to do the same! With Black Friday coming up, I need to make my one purchase worth it and get the most out of It! 💸💸

[Buootiful]

Yeah, me too @RGbrown, heehee. Andalou is on sale so I found enough for the 10 off 60 😉 and put some of my favorites list away for black friday. Was only going to spend $45 out of pocket but, dang this sale 🙂 But if any of the gwp's, bags or mystery gifts go oos at least ill save my money

[RGbrown]

@Buootiful

If you need another coupon option, consider getting $10+ in Sebastian (several travel sizes are $3 AND bogo) and using SEBASTIAN10. Same $10 off, but you can get more of your loves without having to make sure everything is non-prestige. It works out to $2 for 8 travel hair items, which is a mighty fine cheap filler IMHO 😄

[missp25]

If you really want something, you should get it now.  Some of the other GWPs are already out of stock - H2O.

Edited to add that the lancome GWP is in stock.  Maybe the H2O gwp will come back in stock.
