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.

Awesome haul @itscarin . I feel the same way about GC's (unless I'm picking them up as a Christmas gift). Looking forward to see what is in your mystery gift.

[itscarin]

@niki172 My MIL got me a $250 GC to the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa for xmas 2018.  I don't really do my nails, and I wasn't living near one at the time, so I just didn't use it at all.  I kept meaning to use it in 2019 while I was pregnant, because god only knows I wasn't trimming my own toe nails after about the third trimester; then I had a baby, and barely had time to eat or drink water for a few months; then covid happened, and when I finally got around to saying "I'm going to do this, covid and babies be damned" I found out the Red Door Spas filed for bankruptcy and my giftcard was now worthless.  

I was salty about gift cards before I got burned by red door spas, but now?  I'm suuuuuuuuper salty about gift cards!  It's just a scam because companies know you're going to 1) lose them or 2) forget about them.

[eshoe]

Oooh @itscarin @I am so sorry to hear that! And I am also commiserating with you as I have two GC’s to the Red Door as well that I have not used 😕

[itscarin]

@eshoe @This must be what circuit city gc holders felt like in the 90s. Lol. 

[eshoe]

Oh my goodness, @itscarin - not sure which would be more upsetting! Funny comparison. I have had my GC’s on the refrigerator, I suppose I can remove them now ha ha.

[itscarin]

@eshoe @Oh good, so you don’t forget them, right?!  😂. I’m still holding onto mine in my wallet.  Just in case!  Maybe they get bought out or something??

[eshoe]

Oh @itscarin it appears so, however that didn’t end well, either (from WWD):

”After closing due to the coronavirus pandemic, Elizabeth Arden Red Door spas is shuttering permanently. The business, now known as Mynd Spa & Salon Inc., filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in New York on March 19, days after it had posted on Instagram that it was temporarily closing locations in response to COVID-19.”

Nice job @itscarin !

[RGbrown]

@itscarin 

I'm dying to see what your fragrance gift is! Nice stacking!

[Luvstravel]

@itscarin I got the #2 mystery gift on Thursday, November 11th, so l'll post it when it arrives.

[itscarin]

@Luvstravel @Nice!  I can’t wait to see what everyone got!

[itscarin]

@RGbrown @Stay tuned!  Too bad no one got one of the 2 mystery bags from Thursday.  We’ll never know now. Haha

[ljgorham]

Here's my Mystery Gift #2 from last week. I am happy with these products!

Here's Mystery Gift #2

[eshoe]

@itscarin @RGbrown I got one! My daughter and I were having a near existential crisis over deciding which one was the optimal bag to choose. We both agreed that maybe they thought everyone would pick 1, so we should pick 2. But then again maybe they thought we would think that in the first place, and include the best stuff in bag 1. On the end I opted for bag 2. It should be here this week. I will let you know!

[itscarin]

@eshoe @Yay!!!!  Can’t wait to see it!

[RGbrown]

@itscarin 

I've got a mystery bag coming, hopefully tomorrow...it shipped from CA, which always takes an eternity to get to me 😐

[itscarin]

@RGbrown @Soon!  Which one did you pick?!

[RGbrown]

@itscarin 

Good question, I had to go check my order confirmation 😋 Looks like I picked 1!
