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.

@RGbrown  Yeah, I figured Ulta subtracted some of my points because they messed up (gave me too many) at some point. I used to always check to see how many points each of my orders actually get, but this year’s been unkind to my health and I’ve lacked the mental energy to do that. So I just assumed Ulta was trying to correct a points overage, especially since the deduction’s under 100. I’m not about to pick through my points ledger to figure out where they originally messed up though. 😅 Not this month, anyway. Seriously, too much brain fog for that; I have to reserve any mental clarity for other things nowadays. Eh, maybe I’ll try figuring it out later this year when I’ll hopefully be doing/feeling better. 

I have a running list of usability issues with Ulta’s community. (No matter how low my brain battery is, my UX design programming can’t be stopped. Not even if I want it to. 😂) You mentioned a few of the things I also noticed. There are definitely Ulta employees in the mix, which you won’t know unless you look at their user profiles—and that’s only if they state their employee status in their profiles. (One of them who’s posting a lot is an “eComm Strategy” Ulta employee. She doesn’t disclose that in any of her posts where she recommends products and whatnot. And no one would know that about her unless they happened to check her profile page. 🙄)  And nope, the feed can’t be sorted in any way (date, A-Z, whatever) and I can’t figure out how the heck it’s organized, if at all. It’s as obnoxiously random as BIC’s bookmarked threads feed (which still hasn’t been fixed). I commented on someone’s thread/question over there, just to see how things work. There’s no way to see all comments I’ve made, and I doubt I’d get notified of a reply since my comment doesn’t show up in my feed under Profile; apparently that’s only going to show threads I make, I guess. I could go on and on. 

BIC runs on Lithium—or I guess I should say Khoros, since Lithium and another company merged a few years ago. Once upon a time, I was an admin for a different large Lithium forum and it was quite a robust app, plus it was very frontend user friendly. I’ve often assumed most of BIC’s bugs from 2019 onward were due to a Lithium-to-Khoros software transfer, and I keep calling it “Lithium” because I’m old and stuck in my ways dang it. 🙃 Anyway, Ulta’s definitely not using Khoros. Not sure what they are using, but if their community grows, they’ll probably need to switch to a better app/software/platform. I mean, unless they wanna keep their “community” at tip board/quick question status.

@RGbrown Thank you for the Ulta “BIC” forum breakdown! I’ll wait until you sign off on its usability for meaningful community conversations, before spending too much time poking around. 😂 Yes, you are that esteemed around here. 🧡

Side note, my points appear to be okay. A small negative adjustment of points previously erroneously credited for a re-shipment of a new-not-new item, totally cool with that. I did have to wait a bit (and follow up a bit) on them awarding appropriate points for my bigger 10x day purchase (smaller ones tracked fine), but no other mysteries.

Side side note, did anybody bite on that $180 Diamond bag? Anybody planning to? If so, how did you justify a cart that large without a 20% off coupon? 🤔

[RGbrown]

New Diamond Exclusive mega-bag at $180 

The purple and teal $80 bags are still up as well

A new batch of non-prestige targeted coupons is being released, check your Ulta app. I assume these may also eventually trickle down into your emails. Exact numbers may vary.

 

[BluEve]

Should this code be available for everyone? I dont see it in my app, nor I got the email.

[Rachelll9]

Is there anyone who isn’t planning on using their 3.50 off 15 and would be willing to give it to me, perhaps? If so, I’d be ever so grateful! 🙂

[civ2ru]

@Rachelll9 $3.50 off $15 is not a unique coupon and it is not single use. Anybody can use it! Here you go: 373312.

[Buootiful]

Perk day glitch. I needed sunscreen and noticed this counted for the Peach & lily skincare(2613525) and Bondi sun(item 2629092)

Live Tinted Huegard 3 in 1 mineral sunscreen. Vitamins and Sea beauty Marine Algae and Blue Tansy Multipurpose Treatment

Lowest skincare is $2.50

If gwp doesn't show up or goes NOT free while making a basket, select 2 qty to go over $35 then look for other skincare to add, then put it back to 1 qty. Don't forget the 2x 3x 4x x points offer!

Here is my Diamond gift code if anyone needs it:
