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.

@Buootiful I'm glad the un-/re-subscribe dance worked for you! It didn't work for me when I tried it in April or May, but it has worked one of the previous times I was kicked off the promo email list. 🤷‍♀️ When I get those targeted % off emails, I usually use 'em—and if I don't, I give 'em away—so yep, Ulta's lost out on my money this summer. Probably lots of other people's money, too. I'd say "good for us to save that money" if I hadn't spent it elsewhere instead. 😂 I guess Ulta doesn't care much about losing money to competitors due to recurring email system issues they can't seem to fix. 

And man, BIC email's been spotty for me for months now. At least I seem to be steadily getting notifications now, unlike last year and earlier this year. This reminds me to check my thread subscription settings and see if I still have any set to email me about updates. Anyway, I hope BIC email gets fixed for you soon!

Ulta's handling of their email list is just shameful. 😐 I got dropped in mid-June, and saw a bit of increased chatter from folks dropped around the same time...I almost feel like Ulta had a significant glitch in their database around that time, though I certainly can't confirm that.

I was worried I might not get my Perk Day email, so the Friday before, I went into my account and unsubscribed, then let that sit for 24ish hours... Saturday night, I resubscribed. I didn't get an email that Sunday, but *did* get my Perk email, and have gotten at least one email (almost) every day since. I don't think this fixed it perfectly...I wasn't included in the recent 10off10/15off50/20% promo (and with so many denominations, I kinda feel like there should have been something for everyone, even if undesirable, but maybe I'm wrong on that), and I have missed emails on a couple of days, but at least I'm getting something most of the time now.

Heck, I don't even know if what I did fixed it...the week after perk day, I saw a few folks say their emails had started back up as well, so perhaps Ulta managed to fix at least a part of whatever issue they were having on their own.  🤷‍♀️

In any case, @WinglessOne , I'm not sure doing the unsub/resub on your own would have been a bad idea. Since you got an email today though, definitely let it be for a few days first to see how it goes, and I'll have my fingers crossed that you are all fixed up!

[WinglessOne]

@RGbrown  Unsub/resub is the first thing I tried (in April or May) to fix it. I've done that before and had gotten back on the email train within 48 hours, but that didn't work this time. Plus, I could see how screwed up my sub status was (before I even tried to un-/re-sub) by looking at my account via website and seeing the mismatch between my acct landing page's "you are subscribed" status and my bonus offers page's "oops, you're not subscribed" alert, vs. the app showing me as subscribed. I had to email customer service about it. I'm glad the un-/re-sub dance seems to have worked for you though, even if only partially. At least you got your perk email! (I didn't, of course. 🙄) 

Maybe whatever Ulta recently fixed has also resolved issues for folks like me who got dropped in spring. I'm genuinely curious to know how many complaints they've had each month from customers who were kicked off the sub list this year. Actually, for all years, since this is not a new problem. 🤦‍♀️ I wish they'd start redundantly pushing all promo emails to the app inbox. I did suggest that to them the last time I emailed customer service, and I can't possibly be the only person who has. Anyway, we'll see if things are back on track now! I can hardly wait til I have this problem all over again! 🤣

I started getting emails a bit ago also @WinglessOne . We shall see how long it lasts lol. I actually kind of, may or may not have , sort of , maybe , said similar things to them, 🙄🙃😂, about past missed promos , coupons and Diamond gifts etc etc. How shocking I have heard nothing back on that one. 😆 I suppose the 3.50 off will surely comp for them tho. 😳😂 And from the looks of the stuff I missed it’s A- Ok with me. Lol but it’s the principle of the thing, for all the money spent with them. The $ off definitely helps! Glad to hear yours are starting up again as well! 🥰

[WinglessOne]

@Sunnysmom  When I saw the usual $3.50 coupon at the end of my promo email, my eyes rolled far enough for me to practically read the bad words on my brain before I spoke them aloud. 🤣 I mean sure, if I was a Clinique fan, 5X points would be exciting. Well, also if I hadn't gone 4 months without ANY promo codes, coupons, sale/event notifications, etc. I understand why Ulta wouldn't want to compensate us for missing out—and honestly, they don't have to since I'm sure the reward program terms don't guarantee members will receive offers. But with so many people missing email, possibly affected by a mass glitch, the least Ulta could do is send out an apology. Maybe not via email, though. 🙄

Glad you're getting email again, too! 

[Sunnysmom]

Haha @WinglessOne I think we need a brain eye roll emoji ! You’re so right. I expect nothing as well but a little acknowledgement wouldn’t be bad. It’s been so long since I’ve had a 20%, but $3.50?! Sheesh 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

New multiplier

Ultaxelle20 code is still working as of now (Bri and Abby have expired)

[Ispend2much6]

@RGbrown  Thanks for posting this!  I heard that MAC's new mascara is wonderful, and I'd like to try it.

[alexalicious]

Murad Free Beauty Break 4 Piece Gift with $50 purchase

productId=pimprod2026728

 

 

[RGbrown]

Ess-C Day hit my funny bone just right and gave me a good snort-chuckle 🤣 Someone said "eff it, good enough!" 

[ohheyitscindyk]

Another influencer 20% off prestige code is: ULTAXELLE20. Looks like the other two codes from yesterday (ULTAXBRI20 & ULTAXABBY20) are also still working.

[civ2ru]

They are really trying to steal Sephora’s multiplier event thunder, aren’t they? This afternoon, I stopped by my local Sephora that has all the testers out – to swatch some of the stuff in my Ulta cart… 🤣

[RGbrown]

@civ2ru @ohheyitscindyk and everyone else!

Testers should be coming back soon to Ulta too, if not already; employees in the Ulta subreddit were part happy and part angry about having to open them back up 😋 I think they said they've got three weeks to get them all done, and it started (last week, I think?). A short supply of staff and hours may hamper the rollout a bit, but if your store doesn't have them available quite yet, they should in the near future!  

[ohheyitscindyk]

@civ2ru Good to know testers are out somewhere!

[ohheyitscindyk]

[greeneyedgirl107]

@ohheyitscindyk Thanks so much for posting!  I tried the ultaxabby20 and it worked!  I stocked up on my fave conditioner.  Of course I added the Murad GWP, although I'm not really interested.  I also added the Mystery Gift even though I'm not a CC holder and it looks like it went through.  But, we'll see if I actually get it.

[niki172]

Hmmm I'm assuming it's too late to use these codes. I wonder if they'll release the new codes for today a little earlier. I'm sitting on so many points and could really use to stock up on staples.

[RGbrown]

@niki172 

As of right now, they're still working! Not sure what the cutoff time will wind up being, but if you're still up, give it a whirl 🙂

[RGbrown]

So nice! And yet...excludes fragrance? Really? No Homeworx candles or Pirette dry shampoo for me 😥😥

[RGbrown]
