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.

Thanks.. that glitch pushed my hand.

Don't love the Hempz but my mom will like it and don't wanna risk waiting for afternoon perk- don't want my stuff going oos for overthinking yet again! 🤡

 

 

[itscarin]

@magda124 Nice stacking!  I kind of overlooked the biolage gift when I put my order together, but god only knows I don't need more samples, especially when I don't have color treated hair.  Could've been a nice gift for someone though.  Oh well.  Maybe it and the YSL duo will still be around for the afternoon perk.  😈 

[civ2ru]

@itscarin I overlooked that Biolage GWP too and was kicking myself initially, until I realized that it would go straight to the “gifting” stash. Gotta keep it under control (or make an effort, at least).

[magda124]

Hahaha.. 😈

What also made me pull the trigger is that my IGK Offline is running low and the hair mask in the discovery kit is full size @ 3.4 oz. 😁

Or so it says! 🧐

[alexalicious]

@magda124 saw that too, looks like a 3.4oz hair mask. Here's hoping!

My hair certainly sucks up all the moisture I can feed it lately, dang cold weather. I went the Briogeo route for my order, scooped up more hair masks in those other gwps. Hair masks to the rescue!

Update on my ulta request: got a $30 GC today after I called up.  I explained I had spoken to them on Wednesday, never got a follow up, and was following up today.  They had apparently created the GC, but not sent it, so they sent it to me just now.  I'm very happy with that.  

Now I'm just plotting my next move.  I like that YSL purse spray duo they have, but was kind of hoping for a better diamond perk than the hempz body lotion.  My husband goes through that stuff like it's water so it will get used, it's just not terribly exciting for me.  Haha.  I'm currently using Amazon for my hempz triple moisture supply where I get it for like $12/bottle.  IDK why there's such a wild variation in Hempz pricing but I'm definitely not paying $28 for it at ulta when I know it can be got for like $10-12 anywhere else.  I might just pull the trigger on the sale set now thought because I expect that's going to sell out.

[alexalicious]

I'm so glad to hear your efforts paid off in the end. @itscarin thank you for sharing and for the update.

It's really nice to hear they left you a kind note too.

I'd say you got a better deal afterall: a two for one on the purse spray plus the hempz for hubby.

Idk what it is about hempz, but my boo loves it and runs through it so fast too.

[civ2ru]

@itscarin Glad you got your due compensation for the missing purse spray! As for HempZ, you know that they are all on sale for $9.99 at Kohl’s right now?

[itscarin]

@civ2ru Yes, I did see that.  Thanks for mentioning it!  I just have it on auto ship now.  It helps me make my monthly 5 item threshold for the 15%-20% discount from amazon.  

I ended up buying the perfume spray duos because I thought it's really only fitting I take that GC and apply it to another purse spray.  😄  They actually left a really nice note with the GC: So sorry your free gift was missing from your recent order! We want to make it up to you. Here is a gift card that you can spend online or in store - our treat. Come back and see us again soon!

And here's what I did:

LOL I kind of feel like a jerk for making this order but  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they'll make it back on me later.  

[civ2ru]

@itscarin I like that Mon Paris scent. Confident, springtimey. Haven’t tried the other one. As for Ulta making it back on you, how about this very thread? 😉

[itscarin]

@civ2ru I have the mon paris in a big bottle... somewhere.  I haven't tried the "extreme" version.  I was on the fence about this because I really don't need it but I know I like it and so it is a really good value.  I'll probably end up gifting this to my mom for a mother's day/bday gift.

Emails are out; here are the rest of the deals

Okay but how pretty is this IT Cosmetics brush though???

[itsfi]

Wow @niki172 🤩, that brush is beautiful!

[RGbrown]

@niki172 

That went on my loves list the second I saw it! I don't need another powder brush, but dang, it's purdy 😍

[niki172]

@RGbrown 100% same 😅. I need another blush like a hole in the head, but this one is just so very pretty it's hard to say no.

[civ2ru]

@RGbrown I think I speak for all of us when I say, YOU ARE A ROCK STAR! ⭐

[RGbrown]

@civ2ru 

Aw shucks, just trying to help 😊 At least here on BIC, I know it's appreciated!  

[civ2ru]

@RGbrown It sure is! 😁 Was your Reddit post removed earlier, what’s up with that? Sillyness. Well, you’ve got yourself an award in my book!

[RGbrown]

@civ2ru 

I tried making a perks day post over at Reddit once I realized it was after 1am and no one had posted yet. Unfortunately, I made a brand new account, but the sub restricts new users for 7 days, so it was removed immediately by automod.

I contacted the mods to see if they'd approve the post anyways, and the response boiled down to "either prove it's Perks Days or put it in the 21 Days thread". Um, what? Are the Perks Days items all spelled out in my post not proof enough?? So I outlined all of the offers again via modmail. My response was then ignored until after you posted your thread, at which point I was told "someone else posted, have a great day". 🙄🙄🙄

It's rare that I even have a chance to post an Ulta deal over there...by the time I'm done updating a new offer over here, someone else has gotten to it over there. And that's fine! I just thought it would be nice to help there too when I can, but I guess it wasn't meant to be this time. 

Thanks so much for the award over there 🤗 It's a sweet bright spot in an otherwise annoying night!
