Please do NOT post requests for the spreadsheet in this thread. Please post requests for the Ulta GWP google spread sheet in this thread: http://community.sephora.com/t5/Off-Topic/Ulta-GWP-Google-Spreadsheet-Request-Thread/m-p/2753063#M11...

Let's keep this thread on topic!
Ulta points refresher (because yes, it is that complicated):
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
Links are not allowed. In lieu of links, please read this:
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.

@Luvstravel Iโm holding on to my 20% coupon too๐
I received a shipping notice for todayโs purchase. Maybe Ulta is starting to play catch-up. Everything is shipping together. I feel like this has not happened in awhile.
Did anyone else get a survey email from Ulta? I wonder if they are revamping the reward program?
@wwTraveler Mostly about holiday shopping in general, how much shopping you have done so far, if you had shopped at Ulta for gifts lately, if you are familiar with the terms like Cyber Fundays, Merry Monday, etc. Then the second part was about how important it is for you (when choosing retailers) to be offered free samples, reward/ point system and such. It was quite interesting!
I had to work this morning and checked around 9am and both bags sold out. I donโt even bother getting upset anymore, but man, Ulta should make these one per person. Some of you ordered 2-3 bags, so nothing left for us. Way to have the holiday spirit.
@dd0214 As a person who only got one bag, I don't think the comment you posted was very kind. I understand your disappointment and frustration at not being able to get a bag, but singling out people on this board as the reason you were unable to get a bag is unfair. This board represents a very small subsection of people who received the bag.
Participation in this thread means sharing deals and letting people do what they will with that information. I don't think it's any of our places to judge each other on what we do with that information (unless you are actively trying to monetize said information).
There are plenty of other GWP bags that will come along. There is no need to be resentful or accusatory. As a goodwill gesture, I'm happy to send you my bag once it arrives if you want to pm me a mailing address. I hope you have a nice day!
Booo.. in the same boat as many of you. Had trial this morning so didn't have time to really check all the deals until 9ish and all GWPs OOS. Mostly bummed I missed out on the sweet Clinique trick and the fragrance one too, which would have led me to get the beauty bag. ๐ฅ
That being said, let's remember this all for fun and even though I'm disappointed, I totally get why people would make 2 separate orders and get 2 bags - to get the Diamond blush and the 20% off. Getting 3 bags may be a liiiiiittle greedy, but hey.. I'VE done it before. ๐ This is probably karma!! Personally, I think there should be a max of 2 per person, to be fair. ๐
Anyways, I love this community and how friendly and helpful everyone is! We're all here to get the best deal, after all, and sharing so others can enjoy too!! I SO appreciate everyone who posts the tricks and glitches!! Next Plat Perk Day, I'm gonna make sure to set my alarm AND check this and other deal pages for tricks and hacks early! Like someone else said, there'll be more GWPs and bags and it's not like we're all lacking deluxe samples heehee..
Sorry for the rant.. thanks to all again for all you do!! ๐๐๐๐๐
Ulta does in fact have an order limit in place. Orders from one account, or going to the same address, are limited to 6 per day. My sis and I share a house, and if there's something we're both gaga over, we have to coordinate to make sure we both get what we want ๐. Even though we have separate accounts, the order limit is still six between us since we share an address.
Any attempt to place more than 6 orders will be met with an error that says something along the lines of "payment cannot be processed", and it clears up after about a day.
Thanks for assuming people are greedy.
I got three bags. I very rarely keep the items, I either gift them or donate.
There were already out of stocks by 9 AM so I think the quantities were low. I wanted a Smashbox kit but it was already gone. Iโm happy with what I did purchase though.
I think everything went OOS so quickly were because a lot of things were just leftovers from previous promos. I've seen that NARS gwp about three times since Cyber Funday, the TF Tutti Frutti blush just bonus point promo, and the $60 beauty bags were also offered recently. I didn't order anything, not even the Diamond perk.
They won't put a limit because people spend money regardless if one person buy 10 or 10 people do. Money is their bottom line.
@mezzotown88 ๐ You would think they would want to fix it so you must get the minimum buyin and they get more customers buying. They have to be spending a lot shipping them. I guess set your alarms early on platinum days ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
@dd0214 Ulta does need to do something to limit the platinum gwps. Iโd email them. I think if enough people who miss out contact them, they will fix it.
I actually think this particular promo went out of stock quicker because of the glitch that meant you could get it with a much smaller buy-in. Baskets with all the freebies and like a $20 purchase were being shared across every deal-finding site I follow this morning.
COMPLETELY agree!! People are so friggin greedy, they abuse the freebies, and leave nothing for the rest of us......Ulta should DEFINETLY limit these bags to 1 per account. I saw several posts of people making 2 or 3 orders.
