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.

Starting with the advertised bag, I had these two subs:

-got the dark purple Alterna packets instead of the light purple set

-got a 0.5oz tube of PUR Cloud Cream moisturizer instead of the Weleda packet

I don't recall now which UD shade was advertised, and I don't feel like looking it up, but I received Manic (and was kinda thinking it was supposed to be something else).

All in all, these were nice bags for the buy in! 

[alexalicious]

Sounds like you got upgraded @RGbrown!! The UD looks like it had a typo on the original description... so I'm guessing it was supposed to be manic, same as I got.

[RGbrown]

@alexalicious 

ah, thanks for the list! I knew I didn't recognize the UD name on my super quick scan of the list, but that explains why it didn't look familiar. I just didn't pay close enough attention lol 😛

I am always down for a sub-done-right, even if I'm disappointed in missing out on a particular item. Equal or better value. Sadly, Ulta doesn't get it right often enough, but this is proof that they can do it every now and again. 

[alexalicious]

subs were Hask cactus shampoo and conditioner, Alterna caviar moisture s&c, and ts Redken shampoo. BB invisible oil shampoo and conditioner, Alterna bond repair shampoo and conditioner, and ts Joico purple shampoo we're pictured. I would have definitely preferred the pictured hair products. That bumble and bumble seems to be frequently subbed and has eluded me every time. All in all a Good bag for $30 buy in, the affiliate bags usually are and tend to go quick.

I knew I wouldn't hold onto my points until the holiday sets are out, but I am really happy with everything I bought with points and minimal cash, and that's what counts. 🙂

[Sunnysmom]

Woweee @Ispend2much6 ! That’s awesome! 🥰Hope you enjoy em all! 

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom   I had no idea how beautiful Ofra highlighters are!

[Sunnysmom]

Yes lots of shimmer @Ispend2much6 ! A little goes a long way! I could never use it up I don’t think! 

[tsavorite]

@Ispend2much6 ,

 Ditto "Great use of points!"  This is an inspiring use of points!  🙂

[Luvstravel]

@Ispend2much6, That is a great use of points! Enjoy all your new MAC lipsticks!

[Ispend2much6]

@Luvstravel  Thanks!  Two of the orders arrived already!  I'm sure I will be posting the lipsticks in 100 Days of Lipstick thread.

[jessibon]

What an AWESOME HAUL!!!

[Ispend2much6]

Thank you @jessibon.  Usually I would try to wait for a 20% off coupon, but buying items at 50% off with points is even better!

[sephoraaddict918]

That's a nice haul for the right price @Ispend2much6. Plus, the way Ulta throws point multipliers at us, you'll have those points back in no time. 🙂

[Ispend2much6]

@sephoraaddict918   Thanks!  That would be nice; and I hope they will have some more general multipliers because those are the only ones I seem to get.  That 15x or whatever the huge one was in addition to the brand multlipliers was something else!  

[treestar86]

@Ispend2much6  when was that!? 😮 I need some more points lol.

[Ispend2much6]

@treestar86  It was August 17-19th, I believe.  Right now there is a smaller multiplier, but it's on everything.  Check the "my reward" section in your account!

[treestar86]

@Ispend2much6  ohh, I thought that was the 10x pts + 5x on everything else? (that sadly I missed lol) I don't remember any other ones, but maybe I just didn't get them?  yes I got this 5x one though 🙂

[yuline]

If it’s any consolation, I put in an order for 4 products that sun. Then Monday, it was 10x the points so I missed out on 1000 points. That was tough to swallow. And when there actually is a diamond full size perk that I want, I couldn’t figure out how to add the perk to my order (this was when I first made diamond). I ended up paying full price and buying the product separately after I missed the opportunity to get the full size product free 😂

[Ispend2much6]

@treestar86  Yes the August one was the 10x on some brands and 5x everything else.  There are a lot of targeted multipliers that go out to only some people, but the current one and that 10x and 5x ones were for everyone.
