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.

Thanks for posting @EsinaJ The IT lotion is pretty much Barbie sized, lol. I just got the Tula gwp too and am excited to try all of it out, especially since I just over did it my exfoliating with AHAs and need something gentle. Don't use an AHA serum if you are using peel pads. Oops

[SnowyZebra21]

Planning on saving up for the upcoming sale, so I won't be using this coupon. ULTA $15 off $50 coupon: 4GLFZ2VU3HL. It will expire 9/1/2019 at 11:59 PM CT. Hope you enjoy discount and please comment when used.

[Imightneedthis]

@SnowyZebra21 Thank you so much for sharing ! I just used this code. Thanks again

[alexalicious]

Here's what I got in the 28 piece beauty bag with $70 purchase. Counted 26+ bag in mine, missing: NARS Lipstick Mini in Tolède (0.05 oz) Exuviance Probiotic Lysate Anti-Pollution Essence Mini (0.17 oz) Urban Decay Brow Endowed Mini in Brunette (0.03 oz each) Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere Eau De Toilette Sample (0.05 oz), got two subs: ABH lip gloss in St. Tropez (deluxe size) and TF glitter glue foil

[itscarin]

@alexalicious @The missing mars is totally unacceptable. Call cs!!!

[tinobiscuits]

@alexalicious I am so bummed you missed the NARS lipstick.  That was the sole reason I added the bag to my cart.  I had to go run and check that mine was in there and it was. Now I have some weird GWP survivor's guilt.  LOL

If you're making a Sephora purchase, they have that shade on promo with code ICONICLIP (if it's still in stock).  I know that's small consolation.  

[alexalicious]

@tinobiscuits thanks for the heads up! Don't feel guilty, enjoy your spoils!! I was most excited for the fresh cream, with NARS as my 2nd pick. I've gotten St Tropez as a sub 3 or 4 times at least, I've got 6 in my drawer. @RGbrown was absolutely right, foils and sticker cards are never a good sub for missing samples. Not to totally rant, but the real disappointment was a leaky Ulta product that was probably added to my box already cracked and made my $150 box of items a greasy mess. I wish they'd let you pick up some items in store and ship gwps to avoid this type of issue.

[treestar86]

@alexalicious  I love the warm cashmere!  that's a shame about the mess. 😞  it sounds like from other stories that they wouldn't like it if you called to complain... 😞

[tinobiscuits]

@alexalicious That is just rotten luck.  Perhaps a CS rep can make it better somehow. But calling them is always a gamble.

[RGbrown]

@alexalicious 

You aren't missing anything with the Exuviance essence. It's thick, leaves a tacky finish, never soaks in, and caused everything else I put on top of it to either just sit on top of my skin or pill off. 😣 

That's a shame about the Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere though...it seems to get left out of many bags. I know I ordered three or four samplers over the past year or so just for it, and only got it once. 

I dunno why Ulta thinks a sample card is an acceptable sub for anything that got left out though. They drive me nuts with their thought process some days. 

[alexalicious]

Calling that pretty MAC card a sample made my eyes roll. Here is a teaser to get you excited about our product: cardboard with a sticker. 🤦 It does feel like the samples I'm most excited for are often not in the bag. Have to a agree with you on the fresh cream warm cashmere @RGbrown

Has anyone used this app before?

[mwg1]

I used to have it. I was working in a downtown area with a grocery store,Target and a Bed Bath & Beyond within a couple blocks of my office so I was able to get a lot of points and redeemed them for a few Sephora gift cards.

[ohheyitscindyk]

@Maria88 @alexalicious @mwg1 Cool, thanks for all the info! I've somehow never heard of it before, but I'll have to try it.. Every little bit helps 🙂

[alexalicious]

I use it! It's decent. You can get kicks for walking into stores. Marshalls and TJMaxx usually have some of the highest kicks: 50 kicks for walk-ins but can go up to 100 or 150 on special promo weekends. You can link credit cards to app for extra points on every dollar spent. Ulta usually only has scannable items for points that are typically 20 kicks each but can be as high as 100. Walk in kicks for Ulta are rare. Cash in your kicks for giftcards... Sephora, TJMaxx, Target, etc. $5=1200, $10=2500, $25=6250... it's legit.

[Maria88]

Yes! I love it. It can be a bit time consuming but I have been able to redeem several gift cards to Sephora with this app. I don’t know if they are still doing a referral bonus but if anyone is interested let me know and I can pm you with a referral (I’m pretty sure they still do it I just haven’t referred in a while).

[Buootiful]

No, but it seems interesting @ohheyitscindyk 

[alexalicious]

Here is what I got in the 2 gwps with $30 bath purchase currently available. I don't think there will be much variation if any with these as the included items with ingredients list are printed on back of bags.

[treestar86]

@alexaliciousooh, those look nice. 🙂 now I wish I had gotten in on them. 😛

[alexalicious]

Sample pack time. This is what I received in the one still available. Probably the best combination of foils I've ever gotten. I only ordered one of these, but feel my curiosity was rewarded 💖

[Ispend2much6]

I got this one too.  I was pleasantly surprised.
