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.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@iwantitfreeUnidentified

I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't actually purchase through the app (100% due to lack of cash back); it's just the quickest way to browse Ulta's site. I can maneuver around a lot quicker, and that's where I usually load my cart up. I then go to Mr rebates or whoever is highest for cash back, and make the actual purchase through the full site from there 😊

RE: Ulta GWPs

Are points earned on purchase that you redeem points?

Re: RE: Ulta GWPs

@GalPalVal17

YES and NO 😄

 

Sitewide multipliers, like the current 2x/3x/4x on everything, aren't all that friendly to spending points...you only earn points on what you spend OOP.

 

But, the item or category specific multipliers, like 5x Tarte, you'll earn most of your points (4x, to be more exact...you lose the 1x base but still earn the rest of them) even if you spend points.

Re: RE: Ulta GWPs

@RGbrown thank you so much for clarifying. I don’t think I ever redeemed and used 5x etc. This is awesome information going forward. Thank you!!😊👍 

Re: RE: Ulta GWPs

@GalPalVal17 No, unfortunately not😔

RE: Re: RE: Ulta GWPs

Thanks. I figured but wanted to see if maybe there was still a way. Oh well.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Free Clinique full sized gifts with mailer. I picked mine up today. EB7A3866-0C4C-4E03-8FDD-6B199AD4AAB2.jpeg

 

 

 

Re: Ulta GWPs

I picked up the free gift in store today @Feebee1115. No purchase required.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Nice! @Loretta55

Re: Ulta GWPs

So excited, I just received the same postcard for the free gifts. I could always use another Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. Thanks for posting this offer @Feebee1115.

I was talking with a coworker yesterday and I learned that one of her friends works at my local Ulta, so I am hoping to forge a relationship with her so she could possibly give me some insight to some offers or freebies that I may not be aware of.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Feebee1115 What's that little * next to "free" though?!  Free*... free with consultation?  free with purchase?  Show me the fine print!  😄

Re: Ulta GWPs

What's up with the Platinum perk day?!  I thought it would be Monday or today but I don't see anything yet. Are they released later in the day?

Re: Ulta GWPs

@itscarin oh shoot! It’s free with any purchase. So could even be the $5 travel sizes. 

 

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Feebee1115 Thanks for the heads up. I don't get much of their mailers but I'm hoping for this. I've been wanting to try the overnight mask.

 

 

Re: Ulta GWPs

@GalPalVal17 yes I love that mask so I was very excited!

I know for the Clinique ones I signed up with the Clinique consultant in my store then started getting them. 

Make sure you call ahead to be sure she’s there. I went Wednesday and she wasn’t there so I went back today. Now I know her schedule 😂. And they have tons of Clinique samples too so you can ask her for other stuff. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Feebee1115 Thanks for the tips.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Just wanted to say thank you to all you ladies for posting everything. Ulta is so confusing I would have actually no idea what was happening if it wasn't for this thread haha. 

 

After reading I think I will wait till tomorrow and see if the mystery gift goes life. That sounds kind of exciting and if the gift bag is out of stock I'll get over it haha 

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Kim888 I'm still confused.  LOL!

Re: Ulta GWPs

I might wait too. Or try to do 2 separate orders. I’m just not sure. I wish I knew what the Black Friday deals were to compare. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Feebee1115 so true - i'm like are they trying to lure me in now because there's something better coming haha 

Re: Ulta GWPs

Curious if everyone is waiting to stack with a mystery bag or has pulled the trigger to make sure the gift bag doesn't run out? 😅 ahhh... trying to be patient cuz I really don't need to make 2 $65 purchases but getting antsy hahahaha
