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

That $30 bag is actually pretty nice for a $30 bag...lots of foils as always, but this seems to have more DS than normal, including a few new items. I'm kinda liking it and the $60 bag better than the $50 one. I'll probably bite on Thursday, and if all three stack on Saturday, maybe I'll hit it again lol. 😁

Oh wait...only if I find something to buy first 😂😂😂

Re: Ulta GWPs

@RGbrown Imagine if the $75 bag comes back in stock on the 25th!

Re: Ulta GWPs

I hadn't paid attention to dates and didn't realize that one went that long. That's like end of the world stuff right there! Mind totally blown. 😯

😹

Re: Ulta GWPs

Here is my haul. I wasn’t as excited about this one as I was last year (due to stacking point multipliers during last year’s event), but I stocked up on some essentials. I read great reviews about Ulta’s brow pencil, so I’m excited to try that. I also snagged quite a few GWP—the Ulta bag is FILLED with some great products, and the $75 GWP didn’t thrill me but I’m glad to have it before it sold out.

 

 

I earned about 730 points on this order 😊 

Re: Ulta GWPs

Small deal but with free shipping today it’s worth it. If you use Neutrogena makeup remover wipes, they are buy one get one 40% off . Basically you get 4 packages of 25 each for$17.47 if you use the code 618992. That’s cheaper than in the store. It’s 10x so you also get 172 points if you pay cash

Re: Ulta GWPs

Don’t forget to add the hangover primer and use ebates!

Re: Ulta GWPs

Make sure you are signed in for free shipping. Another small deal ( using buy 1 get 1 40% off ) 2 L’Oréal lash primers, 2 travel neutrogena makeup removers,free hangover primer, free shipping, use code for $3.50 off  total $12.38 with 123 points. 

 

Re: Ulta GWPs

Just letting everyone know that the $75 GWP is now OOS. I was about to check out with my finely tuned cart when it showed that it was no longer available. Congrats to everyone who was able to get it! I'm envious on this end!

Re: Ulta GWPs

I made a purchase, but I there was nothing really catching my eye.  Happy to grab the $75 GWP and the too faced primer sample, but other than that, this event didn't seem too exciting.  I was more excited about last year's event.  I think because there was more overlap with the multipliers.  

 

Anyway, I already pulled the trigger on my cart but here's an image of it (w/o the GWP) just to show how it's working out for me.  It's my bday month and I'm platinum, so I got 11.25x on purchases.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Like wise.....the only ones that got me excited were the all Nars and MAC lippies. I had already intended on getting those so it's nice to get the extra points.

I’m running late for work because of this. But it’s still worth it! 

Re: Ulta GWPs

Hrrmmm, points don't seem to be playing nearly as nicely as hoped. Best I can tell, it's almost like the 10x is split into something along the lines of 5x sitewide + 5x item-specific instead of 1x base + 9x bonus. It's still way better than it could be, but a bit disappointing nonetheless.  

 

As close as I can get:

$125 redemption * 5 = 625

$8.50 OOP * 10 = 85

Total 710 (vs the 713 displayed)

This still doesn't even make a lot of sense...not sure what to make of it or if this is even close to how its being calculated behind the scenes, but in any case, every cart I've played with, this formula gets within a few points of Ulta's number.

Re: Ulta GWPs

 

@RGbrown

Here's a $125 order with no point redemption - note: it's my bday month and all the items are 10x.

Here's a $125 purchase with the same 10x multiplier, and it's still my bday month, this time using points:

It looks like they're only giving 5x if you use points on the 10x multipliers, and no points if you "buy" a 5x item and redeem points.

RE: Re: Ulta GWPs

Anyone running into several out of stock products? Too cool for school masks, Clinique perfume sprays (at least the two scents I wanted), & the beauty blender case were some I was disappointed about. Maybe just bad luck on my part, but I’m otherwise super excited about racking up points on some hair products I needed to replenish!

Re: RE: Re: Ulta GWPs

@lasweetvie @ @Maria8  There is a great deal on the beauty blender case, 2 beauty blenders and cleanser today at usgwp

Re: RE: Re: Ulta GWPs

@lasweetvie Yea I wanted that that BB carrier and it's been out of stock for hours already. =/

I ended up getting one from their own line, it's cheaper and it comes with a sponge. Ill probably end up getting the BB version too at some point though.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@RGbrown  The points are back to normal.  I made a cart (a wishlist, really,) that comes to $809.  I put in the 10x brand items and about $100 of non-10x items and it comes to 7783 points.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Ispend2much6Unidentified

Yes, earning is normal. I should have been clearer that I was talking about redeeming points...we're losing 5x instead of the 1x anticipated. 😒

Re: Ulta GWPs

I think I cracked the code

 

They made the entire site 5x on all purchases. All "purchases" work with money only, not points. 

 

But the brand specific/item specific ones do count with points, hence why the customer appreciation day items are +5x points (6 points to adjust properly?? Maybe) and everything else in store isn't getting any points (unless it's clarins)

 

Ok wow I need to go to bed, that is my best guess after spending way too much time on this 😂

 

Edit: this is what you suspected exactly, isn't it haha

Re: Ulta GWPs

I cashed in 2000 points and earned 640. All 10x offers in cart (but no Clarins- only bonus offer i have). I can’t figure out how they came up with 640, but even though I’m disappointed it’s better than it was last summer.
