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.

Ulta has been dropping a lot of items into clearance ahead of this year's holiday gifts launching. Saw a bunch of fragrance and nail items... clearance ending in $xx.97 I so didn't need these, but with the gwp, +5x and 50%+ off, I caved on some clearanced smashbox items. @RGbrown, you've got me curious about that soothing toner lotion with PHA, curious if I'll like it as much as the PTR unwrinkle toning lotion which is fabulous but I believe discontinued.

[RGbrown]

@alexalicious 

I hope you like the toner! In my giant stash of billions of samples, sadly toner is about the least frequent item we get, so I'm constantly buying new ones to try out. I've found several that are fine or ok or not bad, but this is the first one that has made my rebuy list. I love a good acid toner! 

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown @alexalicious Now I want to try the toner 😄

[alexalicious]

Another new one! What is up Ulta?! productId=pimprod2009349

[RGbrown]

9pc for $65 not good enough? OK, how's a 10pc for $65? No? Really? FINE, here's your 12pc gift with $65. I hope you're bleeping happy now!🌩️😤

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh Ulta, what are you doing? I am sincerely confused by two beauty breaks in one day. 🤔 As the piece count goes up, I do get slightly more interested lol. I said no more after yesterday, but now I'm feeling the pull again 😂 I think I can still walk away from this one pretty easily though🤞

[magda124]

Hahaha.. same! I did a double take when I saw the new email but I promised no more after Monday/Tuesday, when I fell to the temptation of getting both the Shiseido BB and the Skinfatuation set. 🤑 I was just looking at the new Sephora favorite kits (skin) and it dawned on me.. the big BBs and Platinum bags are basically Ulta favorite kits.. but free (with purchase, but still!). 🤔🤔🤔😃😃👍

I was just wondering if anyone else had encountered this- I know that Ulta recently revamped their order confirmation emails and shipment notification emails. I had placed a few orders on Monday and have gotten the order confirmations, but not the shipment confirmations although they have been shipped. Normally points are added after the shipment notifications are sent. However since I've not received the shipment notification emails, the points from those orders have not been added to my account. I was wondering if it is something that will be added later on..

[MelBeez]

@donnainca I had noticed that too and on one particular order I even received my order and still hadn't gotten the points. I inquired about it and was told they drop the points after the shipment has left the warehouse or wherever and then it can take up to 72hrs after that to show up. My guess is they are being more cautious about that so people can't spend them and then suddenly the warehouse made a mistake and didn't have the item in stock. just my theory...but I still see my points eventually. just learning patience...lol!

[donnainca]

thanks @MelBeez!! That's good to know 🙂

[phantompenguinx]

@donnainca  in the past the points used to post really quickly, but my most recent orders the past few months now take a couple days after the shipping emails.

for my order placed yesterday, it's getting shipped in multiple shipments. i see both tracking numbers in my order history but only got one of the shipping emails and no points posted yet lol

[donnainca]

Thanks @phantompenguinx ! Yes, I hope that I get the emails soon. It's nice to know that others are encountering the same issue. 🙂 

[Ispend2much6]

@donnainca   Sometimes it happens right away for me as the orders are shipped, sometimes it's taken a couple of days afterwards.  Keep your eye on it, but don't worry yet.  

[donnainca]

Thanks @Ispend2much6 🙂

Ugh this bothers me, they show the Origins Night-a-mins creme but list the frothy cleanser. My hubby and I LOVE the night creme but the cleanser is a pass. I'm on the fence because I was going to pick up a few things in the sale today, but not sure I want to spend up to $65 again.

[savvy4]

9x points = 1501!

[magda124]

NICE!!! Now that I've reached Diamond, I'm making an effort (or feeble attempt, at least) to not buy anything more than the obligatory $25/month to get the Diamond and put a dent in my samples! It's actually been kind of fun to just dig in and try different things that work on my drier skin (the rest I give to my cousins). 😊

[donnainca]

I used to be excited about deluxe samples, until I realized that I only use about 5% of what samples I receive. 🤔 but they are fun to give away.

[itscarin]

@donnainca I think I've amassed about 20 lbs of samples.  I need to start giving stuff away.  Hopefully the hospital accepts donations of mini size toiletries again this year.  It's just a hard sell since a lot of the samples are weird like gimme more brow samples or the benefit pore primers.

[donnainca]

@itscarin That's great. I've been donating to the Women's Shelter nearby. 🙂 

[ohheyitscindyk]

@itscarin It's frustrating how hard it is to give stuff away, I'm constantly searching for places that will take donations.
