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

Spoiler

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.

Also, the Kiehl's Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil is up. 😊

Re: Ulta GWPs

With all these bonus points offers, I thought I can easily ger 10x points for Lancome and other brands mentioned. I guess I’m wrong. 

 

Loaded $100 lancome into my cart and only get 825 points.

 

How does the math work?

Re: Ulta GWPs

Forgot to mention, I’m platinum. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

@RIslander You have to deduct the base points from each of the multiplier since it is only counts once.  So for your purchase it would be 1.25 base for platinum + 1 for birthday + 4 for Lancome + 2 for all purchase = 8.25 total multiplier giving you the 825 on the $100.  Not quite 10 but still pretty sweet 🙂

Re: Ulta GWPs

@minivan100 @RIslander And if you multiply the points by the point-to-dollar value (assuming you cash out every 2000 points):  

825 * $0.063 = $51.975

 

Then divide by total purchase:

$51.975/$100 = 0.51975 ~ 0.52

-> Almost 52% return? (Someone check my math please)

Re: Ulta GWPs

@RNGesusPls 

The one basic hallmark I keep in my head is 8x = 50% back (assuming points are spent at 2000/$125). Your math is good 🙂

Re: Ulta GWPs

@RGbrown Thanks for checking 😄

Re: Ulta GWPs

Something I'm not sure, but you Ulta experts would know: is there free shipping during the 21 days? Like if you buy a hot buy or something similar? TIA. 🙂

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Harobedb 

There should be free shipping for Platinum/Diamond folks, no minimum, but only for the daily deals. Anything else is subject to the normal shipping minimum.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@RGbrownThank you, that's what I was looking for! 🙂

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Harobedb 

Yes, free shipping usually comes with the items from the sale.

Re: Ulta GWPs

You guys know how much I love the Julep oil, and it is now 50% off! I hope it doesn't mean they are going to discontinue it...rh.jpg

Re: Ulta GWPs

Just a heads up- visited my local Ulta and an employee told me when they have an extended sale (this one is marked through June) it usually means they are getting rid of the brand. @ABC345 @gonerogue @Ispend2much6 

Re: Ulta GWPs

Thank you for letting us know, @eshoe

Re: Ulta GWPs

@eshoe   Thank you!  I need to get that facial oil.

Re: Ulta GWPs

You’re welcome @Ispend2much6! They hd plenty of the oil and cleanser at my store. No sunscreen though. Good luck!

Re: Ulta GWPs

@eshoe 

Thank you for the info!

Re: Ulta GWPs

You’re welcome @gonerogue !

Re: Ulta GWPs

Julep and LG's parent company filed bankruptcy in December. Last month Julep abruptly ended their subscription boxes. So, if you like either brands, I'd stock up on products now. 

 

I heard a rumor both are being pulled from Ulta stores too, apparently. Though, I do see both of them in the 21 days sale. I loved a lot of their products, but I can't bring myself to buy from them after the mess they made with Julep subs.  Hopefully, they can pull out of this mess. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

Yup- filed bankruptcy, cancelled the Maven program, and erased subscribers rewards points. I'm still a little salty, so even though I've loved a lot of Julep products over the years, they won't be getting any more of my money. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

@quspork 

Thanks for the update! I’m very sad to see this happening to Julep but I guess now will be a good time to stock up on all my favs before they disappear 😞
