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: @wwTraveler I hit Diamond last week and received the orde...

Thank you @NatureGirlSD @dapt529 @RGbrown, I reached out via email and got my code. I also picked up the gift this weekend! I got a Lipstick Queen in Ice Queen. I haven't seen this variation before!

Re: @wwTraveler I hit Diamond last week and received the orde...

@wwTraveler Yay! I love that lipstick. How do you you like it?

Re: @wwTraveler I hit Diamond last week and received the orde...

@NatureGirlSD I actually haven't tried it. I'm a little scared it'll be too icy and make it look like a galactic princess. How do you like it?  

Re: @wwTraveler I hit Diamond last week and received the orde...

@wwTraveler Ha! Maybe you can trade it? I just ordered my welcome kit since I didn't have the BareMinerals code. I'm actually hoping I get that shade even though I was terrified of the Diamond Crush & sent it to someone here. 🙂

 

Re: Ulta GWPs

I never received an email either. I did contact

cs by phone, they sent me a code to add to my order to get the welcome kit. HTH.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@wwTraveler

It's a coupon that arrives via email within a few days of making Diamond. The title is "Shine Bright! You're now a Diamond Member!"

Re: Ulta GWPs

@RGbrown thanks for that info! I never got the email. All I got acknowledging that I'm diamond was the diamond perk for the DOC Hidden Treasures palette. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

Is anyone else having trouble with this gwp/know how to get it to work? I've tried both the medium and large qualifying aura sprays and neither have it showing up in the cart

@KaitTheKatfish It's live now. That bottle is mesmerizing. 8-)

Re: @KaitTheKatfish It's live now. That bottle is mesmerizing...

@NatureGirlSD

I do have to say, thank you for trying to help though! x) ❤️

Re: @KaitTheKatfish It's live now. That bottle is mesmerizing...

@NatureGirlSD

Nah, still not working. Otherwise that free gift button would say "view items in offer" instead ☹️

Re: @KaitTheKatfish It's live now. That bottle is mesmerizing...

@RGbrown @JiMi2006 @KaitTheKatfish Bleh, I should have tested it first. I got excited when I found a slightly different looking GWP list under "Gifts" on the app rather than where I normally find them under "Sale" and assumed the lists were tied together. Here's to hoping it goes live Friday, along with a nice sampler.....

Re: @KaitTheKatfish It's live now. That bottle is mesmerizing...

@NatureGirlSD

I wish I knew why Ulta has 2 gwp pages...so curious. Both are mostly the same, but a few items only show on one or the other, not both.

 

If the GWP item is a full size item that Ulta normally stocks and sells individually, it'll only be on the Sale>GWP page (current example: full size Alterna Miracle Mist w/$35 Alterna purchase)

 

Usually the site-wide bags and Beauty Breaks only show up on the Gifts>GWP page.

 

But there are still other items that only show up on one of the two, and I don't know why. And I don't understand why Ulta hasn't consolidated the two pages either. But until they decide to change that, be sure and check both to get the full scoop on all gwp's available (of course, it would be nice if they all actually worked too, ahem, mugler 😄)

Re: @KaitTheKatfish It's live now. That bottle is mesmerizing...

@RGbrown Thank you! That's a big help about checking the Gifts>GWP page vs Sale>GWP. I was glad to see Ulta do a few hours of maintenance last week since the app is a little easier on the eyes now and they fixed a tiny hiccup on the Sale>Coupons page. There's also a bug on the Sephora app which I should write them about since it's not at all user-friendly. (The cart under View New Promotions takes you to a page with an expired code & exactly one deluxe sample instead of the main Beauty Offers page.) I'm still having trouble seeing more than a few replies in the Sephora app, but I don't think they can/will fix that. 😕

Re: @KaitTheKatfish It's live now. That bottle is mesmerizing...

hm....still can't get this to work on my phone.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@KaitTheKatfish looks like it isn't working right. In the app view below, the (non-functional) button that says "free gift" 

would normally say "view items in offer" instead, and would take you to the qualifying items. I guess either ulta forgot to load the inventory available, or didn't attach it to the purchase items correctly, so it's just hanging out to taunt folks for now 😒

Re: Ulta GWPs

@RGbrownThank you! I hope they fix it, but at least I know I'm not just being a gooberton...

Re: Ulta GWPs

@RGbrowndo you happen to know how the multipliers are distributed? I haven't gotten access to the last several I've seen posted ;c

Re: Ulta GWPs

@KaitTheKatfish

I wish!

Purchase history plays a role, but I'm sure there are a host of other factors...length of membership, shopping frequency, amount spent, etc. I read an interesting article last year (can't recall exactly where, but I think it was posted in the Beauty News thread) about Ulta making their rewards more targeted, but wasn't very specific about the exact algorithms they've put in place. All I can say is just keep shopping, and your offers will likely increase over time ☺️

Re: Ulta GWPs

@RGbrown

Ah, that makes sense, thank you for the info! 🙂
