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

Spoiler

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'm holding out for Elements to go on clearance...I'm 99% certain it'll go half off, and about 75% certain it'll do so before Xmas. UD typically runs their palettes around 2 months at full price, and it came out (late Sept or early October...too lazy to go confirm the date lol).

Heavy Metals went on a similar schedule last year. I finally caved and bought it full price from UD in early December (to use an expiring kickback), and a week or so later it was half off 🤦

@RGbrown Darn, wish I got the fragrance multiplier!

[NatureGirlSD]

@ohheyitscindyk I got the fragrance multiplier offer in an email, but it still hasn't shown up after I tried activating it several times despite a message each time saying it was successfully activated. Grrr. It's def for the best since Ulta & Sephora don't carry Wonderwood & that's all I actually NEED right now. 😄

[ohheyitscindyk]

@NatureGirlSD Arghh that's so annoying, I hope it finally shows up for you!

[NatureGirlSD]

@ohheyitscindyk Fortunately, it's the first time I've had issues not receiving a multiplier. I know that others are still trying to get their Ulta accounts squared away after weeks of contacting them. 😮

[iwantitfree]

I didn't get it either....maybe because I just bought some items in that category to get the free candles.  Possibly?  I only got the palette one which I won't use.

[ohheyitscindyk]

@iwantitfree I think I've only made one or two fragrance purchases, which is probably why I didn't get it.

[NatureGirlSD]

I really wish I could just screenshot this, but last night I took the $65 I had to play with (including $50 in reward points) & got practical by buying needs like my HG Murad water cream for $35 instead of $60, Stila Patina sheer, and Soap & Glory's hand cream, all on sale & used the Sebastian10 promo code. I also got the free Cover Fx & pink beauty bag. Then when I ordered on Ebates I forgot to use my points! I didn't notice until this morning when I got my shipping confirmation. I emailed Ulta asking if I could refund & use points and they replied within 10 minutes saying I could only take the box in & refund it. After working out that I could afford it out of pocket, I placed another order tonight & went to town with $60 in rewards & got Becca gloss, OPI polishes, gifts for my mom & sister I can't list here, plus the Cover FX, another beauty bag, & Mystery Bag 4, so mission accomplished! I was really happy with Ulta's quick response to my email, plus they were great in store yesterday when they didn't have the Clinique mascara I had an coupon for by giving me the It mascara birthday gift instead. 🙂

I decided to pull the trigger. The vitabath products will be holiday gifts. I missed out on the mystery bags but I have so many samples I don’t really care that much. Re-platinumed for next year on this purchase too! 😊  

[NatureGirlSD]

@Danzie89 Congrats on Platinum again & all the great buys!

[Danzie89]

Thank you!

[Bekafox]

Just wanted to say thank you to all of the amazing people who post their expert info here for us to Benefit from. We appreciate you! 

[Imightneedthis]

I agree! Thank all of you!

Mystery bag #3 is OOS.

Edit: it is back in stock now. 

[Ispend2much6]

Here are the mystery bags from last year.  1 and 2 are mostly or all lip products, 3 is skin care, and 4 is hair care. Images from Imgur.  Suddenly I don't care anymore and am saving my points!

Gift 1

Gift 2

Gift 3

Gift 4

[Feebee1115]

I didn’t use my points either. Will save for Black Friday or the next 20% off prestige. I almost made a 3rd order. Thanks for posting these. 

[Ispend2much6]

@Indy701  @magda124  @Imightneedthis  You all are welcome.  I'm trying to be more discriminate in my spending, even with points, so that I get what I really want.  

[Imightneedthis]

Thanks for posting. Reality is a good thing! A surprise,even a free one,is not always a good surprise. I was contemplating another order, but I think I’ll save my remaining points. 

[Indy701]

Same. If I hadn’t placed one yesterday I would but this is just the beginning of the shopping season so I’m waiting. I did get some Mally stuff 75% off in store today so I did my part 😁

[magda124]

I was contemplating another order too, and I think I'll save my $ for Black Friday. Thanks for the reality check, hehehehe.

Hate to tempt y'all further but

$20 back on $100 thru Retailmenot ($10 back on $60)
