This thread will be for Ulta GWPs only.  Share ulta promos here.  

 

Please do NOT post requests for the spreadsheet in this thread.  Please post requests for the Ulta GWP google spread sheet in this thread: http://community.sephora.com/t5/Off-Topic/Ulta-GWP-Google-Spreadsheet-Request-Thread/m-p/2753063#M11...

 

A list of in store coupons is here: https://community.sephora.com/t5/Savvy-Shoppers/Ulta-GWP-Coupons-no-chatter/td-p/3866521

 

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

Ugh! A screenshot of your Ulta rewards spending would remedy their confusion. @greeneyedgirl107

Re: Ulta GWPs

That's a good idea!  @NatureGirlSD

Re: Ulta GWPs

If they say they can't view the screenshot, you can upload it to Google Drive and send them the link to view it. 😉 @Anonymous7

Re: Ulta GWPs

Thanks for the info @ohheyitscindyk!  I was just about to place an order, but I think I will wait for this...hopefully I will get something soon.  🙂

Re: Ulta GWPs

@ohheyitscindyk Ohh I hope I get the snail mail! I got my birthday email for $10 off anything, the free mascara and 2x the points so at least I got one $10 off haha.  I used it towards the Norvina palette.  I also got a gift card from Ebates (only $8 something but still), and had some points so I paid $3 out of pocket 🙂

Re: Ulta GWPs

@sabrinas~~ Good choice on the Norvina! And Happy Birthday too 💕

RE: Ulta GWPs

After spending thousand of dollars you will just get a sample freebies. Smh. 😒

Re: RE: Ulta GWPs

When I called cs they told me they cant do anything about it. Then i emailed them and they sent me a new code. 

Re: RE: Ulta GWPs

Oh no!  So sorry, girl! 😞   @Pochay

RE: Ulta GWPs

I haven’t even gotten my gift yet probably from a month ago... guess I should email so I can get my 37th smashbox sample and the same nars lip that I got In a recent beauty break...👍🏽

That's odd. When I emailed them they sent me code and I t...

That's odd. When I emailed them they sent me code and I think I got diamond about a week after you did @SAlyFitz. It maybe worth it to try again. Their inconsistent customer service is infuriating. Funny thing is I went in store to pick mine up and the cashier didn't even ring in the code so I'm wondering if I could try it with an online order because it's still active. 🤔

If you want the gift, and hopefully something better, I'd...

If you want the gift, and hopefully something better, I'd strongly suggest emailing Ulta for the welcome code with the approximate date you hit Diamond. If they don't offer an alternative, email them again under the same ticket because they definitely haven't run out of $25 off beauty services coupons! FWIW, I received a full size Lipstick Queen Ice Queen in April or so. @SAlyFitz @PrettyPaint

Re: If you want the gift, and hopefully something better, I'd...

Thanks @NatureGirlSD. I had emailed them my number and when I became diamond, and they said they have no codes left to redeem the gift and to look for promotions in the near future. It said you had to respond within 7 days to reopen the ticket, but it’s been longer than that now. I may try calling to see if I get better assistance that way. I may wait a week or so though to see if they replenish with better welcome gifts. I’m glad you were able to get a full sized lipstick. That sounds like a good one!

Re: If you want the gift, and hopefully something better, I'd...

I'm sorry, I should have been clearer. I'd meant to say consider sending a new email requesting your welcome code & if the answer is as jacked as the one you've already received, then write back saying the matter wasn't resolved. Re their response, it's illogical for a company with a limitless supply of beauty products to say they're out of promo codes for beauty products. If I'd received that answer I would have personally emailed every single address I could find for Ulta from CS to IT support to corporate quoting their Mission & Vision statements since their employees must feel pretty stupid mishandling customers by telling them that they've essentially run out of beauty products. If anything, Ulta still states that Diamond members receive a $25 off beauty services coupon, which they've been including in their welcome boxes all year. If they've discontinued welcome boxes proper, they at least need to send you the coupon and an apology for poor customer service. ::end rant::

Re: If you want the gift, and hopefully something better, I'd...

Oh, that’s a really good point @NatureGirlSD. They do state that you are supposed to receive that $25 off beauty services coupon (I forgot about that), so they should at the very least send that. So frustrating! 

Re: If you want the gift, and hopefully something better, I'd...

@PrettyPaintUnidentified

WTF? Out of coupon codes? That makes no sense. While gifts themselves may have been oos at the time, out of codes is about the most outrageous thing I've ever heard 👿

I have responded to a ticket after the 7 day stated limit with no problems. I like having the full history of my convo in one place. I'd start the email chain up again before calling (but I also hate the phone and avoid calling whenever possible lol).

Re: If you want the gift, and hopefully something better, I'd...

And just to update with my ulta situation of not getting a welcome gift...

 

I emailed once again, and they sent me a code for welcome gift right away, so they currently don’t seem to be out of gifts (or codes as the previous person claimed).

Re: If you want the gift, and hopefully something better, I'd...

@RGbrown Yes, they said this: “At this time, we no longer have any codes for the Welcome Gift to provide for you, and we sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.”

 

Makes no sense, huh? I guess I’ll try replying to the email and see what happens. I also hate making phone calls and avoid them whenever possible. 

Re: If you want the gift, and hopefully something better, I'd...

@PrettyPaint~~ I can't believe that happened, so sorry. That is just ridiculous!

Re: If you want the gift, and hopefully something better, I'd...

@KemoLove Yeah, I’m pretty frustrated with how inconsistent they seem to be with this gift. 

Re: If you want the gift, and hopefully something better, I'd...

Ah, I didn't see these comments. Though I usually like to have a full record of the conversation all in one email, I think a new inquiry might generate a new response. I'd avoid calling since it's like gambling-- if you get don't get a rep willing to do the right thing and satisfactorily resolve the issue in one phone call, you're right back to sending an email explaining the situation. (If you contact them, make sure to mention Sephora would never do that. Ha!) @PrettyPaint @RGbrown
