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.

I got an extra nice GWP last time, what with the full size Indie Lee Cleanser and all, so I guess I should have seen this coming...my 12pc Earth Day bag had a mere 7 items in it (and one of them wasn't even the right item) 👎

Couldn't even get the Acure shampoo packet to go with the conditioner? 🤨 And of course, all I really wanted was the Rituel de Fille and the powder brush, so yeah, I should have known in advance that neither would be there. 

And here's my Surprise Sampler...it's actually got a few things I've never received before, so at least it turned out to be a decent bonus

 

[LittleTater]

My Earth Day sampler was the same, except I actually got the conditioner. I emailed CS and they gave me a $25 gift card - definitely wasn’t expecting that!

Ulta seems to be running a lot of in-store promotions lately. I wonder how their stores are doing. I got excited with the 20% until I saw the store pickup designation. I wish they would've just done a 3x/4x/5x value points promo for the select brands.  

[greeneyedgirl107]

@maxima I thought they would have had a 20% off sale by now.  I mean, I don't follow the spreadsheet or anything, but it's almost May.

[maxima]

@greeneyedgirl107  

We had only one so far this year, right? I honestly can't remember. 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@maxima If we did have it, I don't remember.  It could have been earlier in the year when I simply didn't need anything so it wasn't on my radar.  It's my perception that since the pandemic they've had less storewide 20% off sales, but I could be sorely mistaken.  

I mean, I don't mind the BOPIS 20% off - it even covered philosophy and NYX which are two brands I need stuff from right now.  BUT, I prefer being able to get the GWP, too - so I choose to have most of my Ulta stuff sent to my home.

[maxima]

@greeneyedgirl107 Same here. I hope that Monday's Platinum Perks makes up for April's underwhelming promotions.

[niki172]

Uggghhhh this is soooo frustrating! I have so many points burning a hole in my pocket and have been waiting on pins and needles for a good ole fashion 20% off prestige coupon. I don't care for buy online and pickup in store as I've ran into issues in the past (wrong shade, wrong item, item has clearly been opened and tested etc) and it takes my store forever to fix the issue(s) drives me nuts.

@ohheyitscindyk You beat me to it by 52 seconds! 😆

[ohheyitscindyk]

@civ2ru Haha jinx!

New GWP

Item 2597465

Also, I took a screenshot of the new Dash to Beauty Tuesday afternoon, then got distracted and forgot to post it 😐 Signups are closed now it looks like, but of course I'll post the code once it comes out (unless someone wants play with guessing it first 😂😋)

 

[itscarin]

@RGbrown @So the beauty break came out at midnight (CST) instead of being having the normal 9 am cst drop?  They’ve been weird with the gwps lately. 

[civ2ru]

@itscarin Looks to me like they are doing an all-day GWP today instead of beauty break.

[Ispend2much6]

These are my favorites from the Mystery Sample Gift.  I'm impressed!  Especially about receiving the MAC liquid lipstick sampler; I have been considering Still Winning, and now I can try it.  Thanks for all the dedicated work in this thread!

The Supergoop Play was a purchase; it has a really mild, herbal scent.

[civ2ru]

Looks like we have a new skincare/body/wellness brand: Womaness

[RGbrown]

New GWP! Item 2597464

The Beauty Break is still available (shades medium, mocha, and camel), as well as the $70 step up and all of the $75 bags minus fragrance. Nice stack if you have a purchase to make!

 

[itscarin]

It feels like they’ve been doing GWP every single day for weeks now.  I haven’t made a purchase with them since like February though.  

To be fair, I’ve been redirecting my makeup fun money on donations to Ukraine, so I haven’t purchased much of anything.
