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.

Today's the first day I've seen it (desktop, full site); I only sit at my desk when I know I'm going to order, which I haven't done in at least a day or two lol, so it has to be super new...it popped up after a couple of minutes of futzing around with my cart. 

That's weird that you can't order at all if you're out of the country...I'd think as long as it's a US payment and shipping to a US address, they wouldn't care what country you're currently sitting in or connecting from. 🤔

[itscarin]

@RGbrown You would think!  I was super disappointed because it was during the 10x points on palette period, and I wanted to buy a palette.  I did all my math and by my calculations the palette was going to be about 40% off!  So disappointed I couldn't grab one.  I tried paying with paypal, my regular credit card, and a gift card, and nothing was budging.  I thought customer service would hook me up and offer to let me make the purchase and give me 10x the points since it was clear i had tried to make the purchase during the allotted time period but nope.  They did nothing for me!

[Bekafox]

@itscarin, that’s totally weird. I have been able to order things off the ulta website and have it shipped to my home in California, at least four times. Three times while I was in Germany and once when I was in Spain. That’s so messed up that it wasn’t working for you 😞

[imababymuffin]

Whaaat?? I need that! Ulta is refusing to refund my points for out of stock items and their customer service is being so rude it is actually funny. Im waiting for my points to use my coupons 😕

[Alicehoopz]

Am I the only one obsessed with Benefit GWP bags?

If not, add 4 minis (brows are $12 ..and great products!), get the full size BadGal bang + the duffel bag for $36.

I couldn't resist it, even though I don't like BadGal bang at all. Although I did hear someone say to switch out the wand on they're real. I might try it since I do love they're real!

[katkapivarci]

Just FYI : I was able to get the gift bag without spending the $60 minimum. Not sure which freebies couted towards the value. 

[shimmerbait]

Diamond freebie with code

[RGbrown]

New multiplier

Platinum Perk day so far:

XlsImpprod17871215

Fingers crossed there's more in the email! 

[Feebee1115]

Made my first order with the smash box set and the L’Oreal lip topper plus the diamond freebie. 

Then second order was with points and the 20% off

[Luvstravel]

@Feebee1115, sometimes my work gets in my way of shopping 😋 So only had few minutes to place an order this morning, so didn't have time to look at this thread to see extra freebies and didn't even think to try to add $60 gwp purchase to my order (it probably would have added with my freebies added up) but still fairly happy. Just love the days I am able to read here before placing my orders! Here's my from this morning.

[Feebee1115]

@Luvstravel I didn’t see any of the glitches til after I ordered. But I wasn’t going back to place another one lol. 

Great purchase BTW! 

[ohheyitscindyk]

Here are the other Perks from the email 🙂

[Lazybeautybeast]

I placed an order Tuesday to get the green bag (with my first 20% coupon). But I left some things out just in case. I'm hoping for a good diamond perk or I may not place another order right away. That pink bag is a repeat. The bag is actually really cute if anyone is looking to order it. I just don't need another.

[Feebee1115]

I received 5X on eyeshadow palettes and see a PP Nars gift along with the Urban Decay one and an Ariana Grande deluxe sample. Plus the gift bag. Is there a diamond gift?  I pretty much have my order set. 

[alexalicious]

this one just popped up in my cart!

[alexalicious]

for a second there it looked like both yesterday's mistletoe and today's bags were both going to be available.... I was ready to split that order too

[ohheyitscindyk]

@alexalicious I know, I got so excited lol!

[ohheyitscindyk]

@Feebee1115 The Diamond gift is usually an unmarked item, so we don't normally know what it will be until the morning's email 🙂

[Feebee1115]

@ohheyitscindyk That’s right. I will have to wait it out. I will probably split my order because I think the diamond gift requires a code so I can’t combine with the 20% off anyway. So many things to remember 😊

[ohheyitscindyk]

@Feebee1115 Yup, it requires a code. Wish we could stack 😞

[alexalicious]

No active rewards or multipliers... is that right?? Come to think of it, I hadn't seen a fragrance crush last month either. Is that the case because of the massive sales in Nov & Dec, or am I missing something? C'mon Ulta, I've been so good this year... no rewards makes me feel like I must have been bad or something.
