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

@phantompenguinx I secretly believe this is not unintentional. Builds excitement, customer loyalty, yada-yada. Also enables shopping addiction, wouldn’t you agree? 😉

Re: Ulta GWPs

@civ2ruvery true...i'm supposed to be on a low buy, but placed an order yesterday with the glitch...did i need more face masks esp. from a brand i never tried mmm no, did i buy 6 of them, yes lol

 

let a few orders go through with the glitch, drive more traffic than they usually have, then pull the rug out from under everyone who didnt get their order in on before the fix muahahaha

@civ2ru You were ready to go! and it paid off, good call.

Re: Also 8% cash back on Ibotta currently. $50+ on any B1G1,...

This is going to sound stupid, but...

 

I am trying to re-read your responses to me regarding Iobatta.  However, I can only see the beginning of the messages.  Nothing happens to open to the full message if I try to click it or anything.  Was going to use your referral code but I can't see it.  (Using computer, not app.)  Can we not read the messages more than once?  Thanks!

Re: Also 8% cash back on Ibotta currently. $50+ on any B1G1,...

@iwantitfree 

One additional note about Ibotta: they require $20 in your account before allowing you to withdraw funds. They also zero out your account if it goes dormant (1 year with no activity). They can be worth it, but only if you're going to use it semi-regularly to keep from losing funds. I used to use them all the time when I was drugstore/target/grocery couponing, but once i stopped doing that, I found Ibotta a bit of a hassle to keep up with since most of my cash back is now from online shopping and rakuten/Mr rebates generally have equal or better deals. Using Ibotta for their occasional higher rate led me to using them for subpar rates later when I suddenly realized I was about to lose my under-$20 balance.

 

TL;DR: Ibotta is good if you'll use it regularly, not so good for chasing the best rate every now and again.

Re: Also 8% cash back on Ibotta currently. $50+ on any B1G1,...

@iwantitfree   I earned $3.92 on this order and it posted to my account. Referral code is: fvwqvdk

I've been using the app for 4+ years and have saved over 5K. 100% legit Denver based company.

They usually offer 3% cash back at Ulta, but i've seen it as
high as 15%, 8% currently. Cashback can post anytime after
the payment is confirmed up to 60 days later, but I usually
see these credits in 1 week or around when the order arrives.
Coupon codes are tricky, it will usually allow the one featured
on the Ulta page, but not generally unique codes. I usually
load the discount code into my cart via the app first, I've
found I can occasionally get unique codes to be accepted
this way but it's not obvious if you'll still get the % cashback
if you do until it posts. Ebates technically is the same way, but
seems to be more generous usually and both require the
same process of clicking on the retailer to shop via the app
tor browser. Ibotta also offers Ulta bonus offers like $5 or $10
bonus cash off of a $60 purchase occasionally, which
will stack with whatever % is offered. I really love it and use
Ibotta on all my grocery/shopping. It's honestly my favorite
discount app, super easy to cash out too. Hope that helps 😊

Re: Ulta GWPs

Day 3, $125 GWP bag still hanging on. And the L’Oreal $15 bag also. pimprod2013823 and xlsImpprod17821025.

i just had a thought... SO, there will probably be a beauty break this morning. AND it will probably be a $50 buy-in again. I wonder! If one were to have $75 worth of merchandise ready in cart (including items like Ulta B2G2 which still count at full price), whether adding the beauty break right when it rolls out (before any glitches get fixed) would once again qualify the order for the $125 GWP too? I may test my theory around 10am CST. If the GWP doesn’t go OOS by then.

 

Who’s with me? 😉

Re: Ulta GWPs

I may try this also. Just a little disappointed that Im platinum and never receive Emails about perks day or any of the GWP for platinum. I have Emailed CS 1000xs and only get generic Emails here and there. Is there a way to find the links for platinum GWPs?

Re: Ulta GWPs

@KateGreen I used to have an issue with receiving emails, and what fixed it for me was simply changing the email address on my account and re-subscribing to receiving newsletters.

 

As for Perk Day GWPs, you may be able to find them under Gifts -> Gifts with purchase -> Newest. Sale -> Gifts with purchase -> Newest is a logical place too, but I don’t always see them there... Your best bet may be setting a reminder for the 1st Monday of each month and checking this very thread: 99.9% of the time one of the lovely devoted beauties here has already written out a full in-depth analysis of the situation.

 

Happy deal hunting!

Re: Ulta GWPs

We've got two more new brands tonight: Kestrel and Mychelle!

Re: Ulta GWPs

I love Mychelle too, best mineral sunscreen! Been buying it at the hippie health food stores for a decade or so, so very glad I can get it at Ulta now! 

Oh, MyChelle! I've been using their mineral sunscreen 50...

Oh, MyChelle! I've been using their mineral sunscreen 50 and 28 the past 2 years.👍 I like the texture more than DE or FAB. The 50 is also silicone-free for anyone exploring that.

Re: Ulta GWPs

I love mychelle!  I've ordered a number of items from their site as they have a good rewards program.  their oil cleanser is great (really the best I think, and cheaper than a lot of others), as are the tinted lip balms.  now along w/dermae and andalou naturals, they have the trifecta of my fave brands!! 😄

Re: Ulta GWPs

I got this from beautybudgetcollection on instagram.

 

Buy 6 of the $14.99 items from Naturally G4U (they're BOGO) and you can get both free gifts (YSL gift and the Platinum/Diamond bag) for $44.97 ($41.47 with the $3.50 coupon).

 

The glitch is no longer working. Thanks @phantompenguinx, for the update!

Re: Ulta GWPs

@missp25 Thank you so much for posting this.  I saw this before the glitch was fixed and was able to put on an order.  

Glad it helped!

Glad it helped!

Re: Ulta GWPs

@missp25 Doesn’t seem to work for me?
