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.

@SportyGirly125 

Yeah, one code per order is an unfortunate restriction that I'd love to see Ulta ease up on at some point. That, and the fact that they only allow one GC per order. Blech.

[civ2ru]

Yeah, the one-gift-card-per-order is not my favorite Ulta rule... Or the inability to place BOPIS order once an item goes out of stock online.

[treestar86]

@civ2ru  @RGbrown  I also wish theyd have gwp's, at least some of them, available to pick up in store too.  If the item's available in store, I really hate having to ship the entire order just to get the tiny gwp. 😔  like the peach & lily beauty steals yesterday, they came w/a tiny sample, and I was bemoaning the fact of shipping just to get the sample, when the items were available at my store...but since I got 2 of each I could have placed 2 orders to get 2 of the samples, but still they were tiny, so is it really worth it...especially having to track the packages and then wait around to make sure I get them, etc...but then the sample went out of stock so I was like, well yay!  guess that solved my problem...lol. 😂

Just an FYI - I finally got my order from mid-December yesterday and someone had tapped the sides back up where it had obviously been cut open (it was in one of those bubble envelopes). Whoever did this took my Josh Rosebrook skincare item, but strangely left my Clarins Double Serum and Hourglass lip treatment oil. I contacted CS on chat and because of the price of the item they said they had to contact a manager to see if they could reship my item to me and they'd get back to me in 2-3 business days. I went round and round with the agent arguing that this was unacceptable and I could send pictures to prove my envelope had clearly been cut open and re-taped. Mind you I very rarely contact CS to report something in my box is wrong and it's usually a Colourpop palette that has shattered. Anyways the chat lady honked me off so I called into CS (there was a bit of a wait) and they resent me my missing item no problem. So if you're having issues with your orders, especially if they were ordered around Christmas, call CS don't do the chat - those people are terrible.

[civ2ru]

@niki172 Argh, what a drag. Sorry about your hassle. I’ve also had good luck with CS via email (through the website’s “contact us” form), although it takes them a few hours to respond.

I have to keep telling myself I’m not in the market for anymore cleansers. In my head I’m doing the calculations like: 4x all purchases + 5x dermalogica = 8.5x which is basically like 35% off if you consider the points. Plus there’s the 20% off skin care item. I wish this worked on bath products!

[civ2ru]

@itscarin That’s our math wiz! But what’s this “20% off skin care item” you speak of, some targeted offer I didn’t get?

[itscarin]

@civ2ru @Yes I think it is targeted. 20% off one skincare item. 

[civ2ru]

@itscarin So interesting, never heard of category-specific % off coupons from Ulta... Enjoy! I bet you’ll talk yourself into it, in the end. Don’t forget to factor 6% cash back via Rakuten into your calculations!!! 😁

New app exclusive deal

[mwg1]

I was going to get the Clinique cleansing balm tomorrow when it’s half off, but I’m 110 points away from 2000, so if I buy it full price with 4x points I’m there. I’d be spending $15 extra to get $125 free right? 🤔 

[Nikkihas3girls]

The offer is good for 3 days.  I would wait until tomorrow to purchase the product you want at half price.  You could purchase 2 at half price and still get the points that you are looking for.

Here is my $70 bag. I was pleased that Korres, L’Occitane and No7 retinol made it. Like @RGbrown, I also didn’t get Acure soothing oil rollerball and I’m not upset about that. Also not included were Sand and Sky pink clay and a couple of foils. Instead, I got a 0.5 oz Juice Beauty STEM CELLULAR Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer and a few foil substitutions. Ulta cleanser was a different one, whatever. And what’s with that 01/21 expiration of Coola sunscreen spray? 😂 Overall, decent bag!

$70 bag!

The only item flat out missing was the Acure soothing oil rollerball, but I got two extra packets and a DS of the Ahava mud mask as subs (on the right in the pic), so no complaints here. (ETA: oops, the Bio Oil packet is missing too. Still ok with me!)

The original pic shows a tube for the Dermalogica sample, but the list says 0.1oz, which corresponds to the packet I received.

I'm a little perturbed by the Beekman sample; it's a fairly massive jar with a tiny little well for product; 0.39oz in a container that would easily hold three times as much, all packaged up in a plastic box. So wasteful. 

The Ulta cleanser is different from the one pictured, but the list just says something like "Ulta Cleanser", so perhaps those may vary between bags.

The Coola expires this month, as did the one I got in my last GWP; I guess Ulta found a box of these they need to clear out 🙄

ETA: oh, I almost forgot! The Kate Spade set! "Scarf" is a bit of a misnomer, it's more of a glorified ribbon. At 24" long and 1.5" wide, it's fine for tying around a ponytail or belt loop or purse strap, but I don't see much use for other than that, unless you are down with tying it around your neck, choker style. It's super cute though!
