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

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.

@mezzotown88  @NatureGirlSD  Hmm...I didn't get the Ulta one, but I did get a 20% off of Lancome direct.

[niki172]

Ughh I didn't get this one - I got one for free shipping with $50 purchase (really Paypal????). Congrats to the ladies that did :D.

[ClassicallyFab]

Thanks for posting @mezzotown88! I actually Got this one! Just in time for my ebates payout, lol.

[mezzotown88]

@ClassicallyFab You’re welcome 😉 

[Ispend2much6]

@ClassicallyFab  Nice timing!

[Ispend2much6]

@mezzotown88  Thank you!  I always forget to look for these. 

[mezzotown88]

@Ispend2much6 now I’m regretting seeing the offer...  why do you have to do this to me PayPal why! 😂... I’m trying to be good this year and not spend so much on makeup like last year...

I didn’t buy anything in a long time since I was so busy with moving there was no time  .. now that it’s over I’m trying to catch up on hauls since I’m way behind😂😂😂 

[Ispend2much6]

@mezzotown88  I know how you feel.  I need to step away from the deals thread and the hauls thread. 😞

[NatureGirlSD]

@mezzotown88 @Ispend2much6 Yes, thank you! Checking PayPal now to see if I got it. 😄

[RGbrown]

Two new multipliers!

I was mad at myself for a second... I had been debating a fragrance purchase while we had the site-wide 2x/3x/4x, but forgot to make it. Sooooo glad now 😁

[howconnie]

Hope I get the fragrance one

[NatureGirlSD]

@RGbrown Oooh, nice on the fragrances!! I only got Bliss, but I'm curious to see what they're offering since their recent overhaul & pricing all of their products ~$25 or less.

[Ispend2much6]

@RGbrown  Did the general multiplier expire?  I thought it would expire later.  Right now I only have Bliss, Stila, and Elf.  Thanks!

[RGbrown]

@Ispend2much6

Yes, it expired yesterday, the 5th.

[Ispend2much6]

I;m not happy with Ulta right now.  Remember that full-size Lancome L'Absolu Lacquer Lip Gloss that was supposed to be a gwp with a $40 Lancome purchase?  I received a mini, sample-sized gwp!

My order summary clearly states it is to be a full-sized item.  I called Ulta, and they offered me a $15 gift card for a $26 free item!  Their reasoning was that they were already offering me half the price of a free item.  Um, it really wasn't "free" because I had to spend $40 to get it, so I expect to get what you promised.

So I asked for a free return label to ship my order back.

[NatureGirlSD]

@Ispend2much6 I've been eyeing the 5oz Mamonde floral water GWP & maybe the little bag set... then I saw a review that says the floral water is 0.25oz. Nope. ETA- the regular size floral water is 8.45oz, which had me thinking 5oz was the "mini".

[Ispend2much6]

@NatureGirlSD  Well, that would be quite a "mini size" at 5 oz.!  I hope this is not a new trend for Ulta, and just some hiccups from new IT people or something.

[NatureGirlSD]

@Ispend2much6 I've been wondering why that GWP lasted so long. Ha! I joke that Ulta must have just one person loading the site, but after looking into investing in their stock & rapid growth I'm now convinced they really do have just one person loading the site. 😛

[itscarin]

Good for you. they should be held accountable for false advertising.

[Ispend2much6]

@itscarin  Thanks! I agree.

[Maria88]

If all else fails tweet them. I did that with the 20% fiasco and the rep they got a hold of took care of my issue.
