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.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@ohheyitscindykI tried that before and it didn't really help (plus it's annoying having to wait 20+ min.).  I figure if it's an error, then there's not much they can do, OR they really meant prestige fragrance?  either way it's annoying when something says spend x$ on ANY fragrance purchase, and then excludes certain fragrances. 😞 especially when they're b2g1 free! (and you can use the coupon on them).  oh well, guess I'll just go see what other ones qualify...

Re: Ulta GWPs

@treestar86 Ahh I had a good experience with live chat last time something like this happened, I guess it depends on which rep you get!

Re: Ulta GWPs

@ohheyitscindyk  maybe 🙂  I thought I might check it out and see if there's a long wait, but apparently it's disabled now! so I guess that won't work anyway...lol.  might try emailing them.

Re: Ulta GWPs

well I emailed them, and of course it was no help as usual.  they said it won't show up until after checkout....uh, no.  bc it shows up when I add other perfumes.  and, another afternoon spent trying to get a freebie. lol

 

guess I should have known, "any" doesn't really mean any. 😞

Re: Ulta GWPs

I've  noticed in the past that Ulta's gwps with a "fragrance" purchase often don't include brands that are not exclusively fragrance, e.g. Pacifica which has skincare and makeup in addition to fragrance.  The Body Shop makes sense too.  It must be the way the products are coded.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@lankylizards 

That does actually make sense. I've never really stopped to think about it before, but back when Ulta carried some UD skincare, it didn't count for a skincare (gwp or multiplier, I don't remember now), nor did Tarte skincare. It's like they only programmed the brand as whole into one category for certain offers, even though those brands contain items from multiple categories. I wish they'd fix that...

Re: Ulta GWPs

@RGbrown  @lankylizards  except philosophy and lancome's (which are mainly skincare or makeup brands) perfume counted.  that's why I was looking for something else to add to the lancome rollerball so I could get the lancome and prada gifts, and thankfully the lavanila deodorant counted, which I had been wanting to try anyway.  I mean it's kind of weird that deodorant counts as fragrance but actual fragrance doesn't...lol.  but if it counts towards a free gift I'll take it! hahaha 🙂

Re: Ulta GWPs

@treestar86 

Yeah, I certainly didn't mean to imply that it was true of every brand (and I generalized my comment enough that it certainly does sound that way, so that's my fault!). Ulta is consistent in nothing but being inconsistent lol. For an example on the flip side of what I said before...Too Faced Lip Insurance generally counts as *both* skincare and makeup. 🤔 It's all trial and error trying to figure out what's what with them. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

@RGbrown  ah, well I wasn't sure bc it seems like it's mainly the smaller or cheaper brands that are usually excluded.  but yes, it's nice when something counts as more than one thing.  that's a nice surprise lol 😛

Re: Ulta GWPs

I think it's more that they're more natural and cheaper, bc of course they want to push the "prestige" products.  but thankfully lavanilla deodorant counted! lol 😛

Re: Ulta GWPs

@treestar86 Ahh darn! I remember when I contacted them, I first called & they didn't help, so I had to live chat, but it's such a pain to have to keep contacting them.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Apparently the CeraVe is only for Diamond/Platinum. Not sure about the Essie

Re: Ulta GWPs

Hello,

Please let me know if anyone has a Lorac code they're not planning on using.

Thanks!

 

Re: Ulta GWPs

There's a new perk this afternoon. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that there's something worthwhile in the second email we should get a little later...
