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 am pretty sure that is the same as the skincare GWP they had in April or May. I also ordered bag 1, but I haven’t gotten it yet. 

Makes me wonder if the bag 4 was the IT cosmetics GWP? 

[minivan100]

I got bag #4 and it was indeed the IT cosmetics GWP that showed in the picture before they changed it.

[iwantitfree]

Well, boo!  I wanted a hair set.  Oh well, took a chance!

[Loretta55]

Thank you for sharing @lasweetvie. Mystery Bag 1 looks like a GWP from October 2017. 

[lasweetvie]

I thought it was something reused because I knew have had all of these samples pass through my hands at some point! Hopefully nothing expired in the last year 😂

[iwantitfree]

I have not received my orders.  Placed one with gift 4 (hoping it is a hair one like the one posted last year).  Wanted to choose #2 for the second one but the only one available was #1.  Hoping I like it as much as the Estee Lauder one.

[Inochi]

I received my order with gift #4 today, and it was an IT Cosmetics gift (you can scroll through and find a pic someone else posted before they changed the picture). It was a bag, a moisturizer, an eye balm, and a cleanser.

[Feebee1115]

@Inochi that’s great news. I was hoping it was. I ended up placing 2 orders so got no. 4 with the second one. 

[Loretta55]

Thank you for sharing @redcliff. Your gift looks like a Beauty Break from this past summer. Still waiting to see the contents of Mystery Bag 1.

[Kim888]

thanks for sharing @redcliffe - I selected gift 2 as well excited for it now! 

[redcliffe]

@Kim888 Glad to pass on early good news to you! 🙂 

[Feebee1115]

I got gift 3. I’m a Clinique fan so I couldn’t be happier 😊

[redcliffe]

YAY! @Feebee1115 🙂 Thanks for sharing Gift 3. That's what I wanted, but it was sold out when I placed my order. But it turns out Gift 2 is better for me (I use more Estee Lauder). So I'm glad 3 was sold out.

Here's to mystery surprises that work out well!

[candyrivera]

Can anyone help me answer this question? Does Ulta only do the 10x the points once a year, or do they do this multiple times? I can't remember. I was hoping maybe they'd do it this Thursday or Friday for the holiday, but I'm sure they won't. I know it's usually in the spring for customer appreciation day, but do they also do this in the winter as well?

@candyriveraUnidentified

Looking at the spreadsheet, we had two last year, and two this year, both in Aug and early November. Based on that, I wouldn't expect more this year. 

[Loretta55]

I thought there was a 10x Times event the first week of March this year @RGbrown.

[RGbrown]

@Loretta55Unidentified

Indeed there was...I overlooked it when glancing through earlier. Thanks for the reminder! 

[candyrivera]

Thank you!

[RGbrown]

BOOTD

And a new gwp! Pimprod2002221

[Feebee1115]

I’m so tempted by this!

The Clinique bonus is stacking with this. And if you got the Lancôme clis freebie there’s a $5 off coupon in there.  

[missp25]

Yes, it is great stacking!  I got two clinique mascaras for $41 and the two gwps (clinique lipstick and ahava).  I got 594 points (I am diamond)!
