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.

@sephoraaddict918  It took me four months from the time I stopped getting emails until I got the first one at my correct email again- telling me about Cyber Monday deals.  Now, they've stopped again.  I am receiving some at a different email address that I set up myself though.  It's extremely frustrating.

My advice is to ask someone to forward your request to the subscription department.  that helped me to get my multipliers again (the ones that everyone got, not any special ones.)

[sephoraaddict918]

I just found out that I apparently have 2 email addresses associated with my account, and I think that may be the problem. Ugh! I gave them the email address that I want to use with the account, and I asked for my request to be forwarded to the subscription department. Thanks for the advice @Ispend2much6! 

[natalie12]

@sephoraaddict918  I stopped getting the emails also and had emailed support. Nothing changed until I sent a email saying that they’re missing out on my money if I don’t get these emails. The next day I started getting the emails again. 🤣

[sephoraaddict918]

Thanks @natalie12! I made sure to include that I love shopping at Ulta, but I can't really do that if I don't receive their emails in my response. Hopefully that helps!

If you scroll down a bit in the savvy shoppers group, you'll find an Ulta Email Issues group. Some of the parts and responses had good ideas, which I tried and I did get mine fixed about a month later. best I can tell, it was fixed after it was forwarded to subscription services. I had the issue from September to Oct, same time as a bunch of others, and it seemed to happen right after I started using the App. It must have changed something in my account settings or saw me as a duplicate account or something. I emailed and called many times, every couple of days at one point. I also checked to my account to be sure I was still subscribed to get emails, there is usually a "click here" link at the bottom of your previous emails you can try to see your subscription preferences and play with them there. To probably worth trying first.

Happy to help a fellow beauty enthusiast!!! Best of luck on a speedy fix! And please let us know if you find anything helpful out.

[sephoraaddict918]

Thank you @alexalicious!

One time use

We should be able to use a 20% off coupon with this, right?

Product ID: 18321101

[Feebee1115]

I didn’t get that coupon. But that’s a great deal! Can you stack with the palette multiplier?

[ohheyitscindyk]

@Feebee1115 Hopefully you have luck with CS, let us know how it goes! Yes, you can stack with the palette multiplier!

[SportyGirly125]

@Feebee1115 The coupon was at the end of the email they sent this morning.  It was kind of hidden if you didn't go through the whole email.  I almost didn't see it.

[Feebee1115]

@SportyGirly125 thanks for letting me know. I checked but wasn’t there. Just the 20% off again. Even though I already used it. Maybe I can ask customer service about it 😊

[SportyGirly125]

@Feebee1115 You should definitely ask!

[RGbrown]

@ohheyitscindykUnidentified

Since coupon freebies can be stacked in-store, I'd assume this is stackable as well. 😁

It's too bad we dont have many freebies right now...that's usually a decent draw for me. But 5x sure is tempting...will have to consider making a list 😋

[alexalicious]

Well that's awesome! (Especially since there is a new Ulta opening 10 minutes away in a just a few days. Idk if you can tell, but I'm incredibly giddy and a bit impatient over this.) Seems there are some definite advantages to an in store purchases occasionally, and hope to see that incentivized more. Gwp bags in store would be genius 😉😉😉

[ohheyitscindyk]

@alexalicious Yay I have one 10 minutes away as well. More in store benefits would be great! I can imagine myself going there a lot more once they roll out in store pick up, too.

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown Yeah I've been able to redeem multiple freebies in store before (though I haven't shopped in store in a long time) & this is just a multiplier & a coupon, so I feel like we should be able to. I don't even know what to get, but like you said, it is tempting. It's just nonstop spending, I tell you.

[alexalicious]

I'm curious... that points offer is instore only but has a coupon code so maybe? I don't make it into a store often enough to know if they can scan multiple offers?? I've never succeeded in stacking ulta online coupons, 1 code per transaction... which is why I didn't redeem the birthday gift. When is a mascara sample better than $10 off?! But if you have a trick, please tell!

[Christinaco]

So I have a question about platinum status...I am going to just barely make platinum this year, if I make it at all. If I end up needing to return something after Christmas and i go underneath the 450 spend requirement, will it take platinum status for next year away, assuming I return after the first of the year? Thanks in advance of anyone knows 😊

[phantompenguinx]

So it applies to whatever year it is...if you return it next year you'll still be platinum you'll  have spend $450 + what you returned to re-qualify for the following year. That's what happened to me a couple years ago...this is assuming it still works like this 🙂

[Christinaco]

Thanks so much!!
