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.

Aren’t we due for a $125 buy-in Platinum bag?

[RGbrown]

Looking through last year's deals, looks like we had $100+ buy-in bags in Feb, Mar, Jun, Sept and then 2 in Nov. The one in Feb popped up during a 20%, but none of the others did.

So far this year we've only had one, back in Feb. Hopefully we'll be seeing one soon, but I'd almost guess it'll happen after the 20% expires.

$150 seems to be becoming the new norm though...the last 3 last year, and the one we've had so far this year were all $150 buy-in.

[muddlepup]

Ooooooh! What is this you speak of ?👂 ??

[writtenonpaiges]

It’s a extremely nice GWP bag Ulta does *almost* every 2-3 months. It is a $125 buy-in, but it is SO worth it. I’ve found many favorites within those bags. A deluxe size of White Tea by Estée Lauder came in the most recent and I am buying the full size with my 20% now:). 

[ohheyitscindyk]

@writtenonpaiges I discovered the White Tea with that bag, too, love it!

[ArmyChick84]

if any of you aren't using your 20% off code, would you mind giving it to me?

I received one but I gave it to someone else because I didn't think I was going to buy anything and I am regretting it now.

THANK YOU!

[BrwnSugaG]

i never received a 2nd code, but if anyone else has one they aren't using - i'd love a pm as well! thanks in advance!!

[ohheyitscindyk]

Possible upcoming beauty break?

Product ID: 17871273

[ohheyitscindyk]

The link has been updated with details as to what the beauty break will include 🙂

[NatureGirlSD]

Thanks!

[ArmyChick84]

So underwhelmed by this.  

[BrwnSugaG]

@ArmyChick84 - oops! didn't see that you posted this already, my bad!

[Indy701]

@ArmyChick84  I was surprised by this one. A $60 buy in for those items is a lot. I am thankful as it’s the first in a long time that doesn’t tempt me to spend money. Ha I’m sure they will get me next week. 

[Michie44]

If anyone has a spare 20% off code they won’t be using, I would so much appreciate it! I didn’t get one this time around. Tried calling but no luck  😞

[phantompenguinx]

@Michie44  I won't be using mine, I'll PM you 🙂

[muddlepup]

Question regarding the Ulta MasterCard.... I spent the required amount within the time limit... when will I see my 500 welcome bonus points?

[shimmerbait]

@muddlepup   I *think* my bonus points posted the cycle after I hit the target spend but it's been more than 12 months so it dropped off my points history. It couldn't have been terribly long after because I don't remember ever feeling aggravated about it!

[Christinaco]

The email with the Donna Karen gwp had a new 20% code for me! Check your email for it!! 😊

[NatureGirlSD]

I've had 20% codes work several times each in the past, but this time the email has the same code and it says 'used' when I try it.

[mganeshaly]

You guys are lucky! Mine said it had already been used 😧

[quetzalina]

My code was the same, but it worked for a second time:)
