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.

At the rate gas prices are going up, this sure could take some of the sting out of it!

[muddlepup]

😫 Loaded my cart with what I thought were permanent markdowns and they were all back to regular price...I’m such a bonehead!

[RGbrown]

New multiplier!

[shimmerbait]

Nice timing for TF. I've been eyeing the festival and natural eyes shimmer palettes. maybe this will push me over the edge to purchase

[NatureGirlSD]

@shimmerbait I've been eyeing & trying to justify that natural eyes palette too. Soooo pretty!

[ClassicallyFab]

Good one!!

[NatureGirlSD]

Nice set! If anyone is taking advantage of the Lipstick Queen and would like to swap for this confirmed BoxyCharm eyeshadow palette by Alamar in June, just send me a message. (I'm all about lips!) 😄

[RGbrown]

Hahahahahaha jinx!

Product ID 18101099 😀

[ClassicallyFab]

Lol, thanks @RGbrown!

I don't know what's going on. I haven't gotten an Ulta email in almost a month, the same amount of time I have absolutely no bonus offers. I mean, I always have at least one (for something I won't use.) Has anyone ever had this happen to them? I feel like I've been excluded from the human race!

[KaitTheKatfish]

@HarobedbI am currently having the exact same issue! I'll probably try emailing CS since I've gotten really prompt response from them before with other issues, otherwise I'll try @missp25's advice

[missp25]

It happens to me about once a year. I usually have to call to get it resolved. I think it's some type of setting on their side, or something. Hopefully, you'll be able to get it resolved quickly.

[NatureGirlSD]

@missp25 That's frustrating. I'm glad to hear they can take care of it over the phone since I may also need to follow up with them about being on the wrong mailing list.

[NatureGirlSD]

@Harobedb Oh, no, that's not good. Have you looked over all of your account settings/preferences on the website and/or the app? If it's not your settings, I'd email them to add you back. Making it clear in writing could help in case they need to forward it to another dept & it also gives you something to follow up on later, if needed. Good luck!

[Harobedb]

That's what I don't understand. I haven't changed a THING, but suddenly everything from Ulta stopped! Thanks for your help, though. 🙂

Credit card extra at the bottom of this morning's email.. unique code

[RGbrown]

New multiplier!

MAC Mirage Noir is up as well

[NatureGirlSD]

@RGbrown I didn't get a new multiplier, so I still just have the Bliss one. (Probably a good thing since I'm down to necessities only for a bit!) FWIW, I saw an article comparing Bliss's watermelon mask to the one from Glow & the way cheaper Bliss was rated higher. 😮

[muddlepup]

Can anyone clue me in on some FAQ’s about Platinum Perks? Are they on any kind of a schedule or do they just randomly pop up?

[RGbrown]

@muddlepup

Last year, Platinum Perk days were very random, but this year there seems to be a bit of a schedule to them.. so far at least, but that's always subject to change with Ulta lol.

We have the big Platinum Perk day on the first Monday each month, and that has been true every month this year so far.

Three Fridays later, there's usually a much smaller Platinum Perk day. That happened in Jan, Feb, and Mar, but didn't happen in Apr (the 20% was going on, so that may have been why they skipped it). This one is nothing to write home about...early access to a new release or two, and maybe (but not definitely) a small gwp.

Based on that, we might see a small Platinum Perk day on May 25, but I'd set my sights on Jun 4 for a better chance of something nice.

[NatureGirlSD]

@RGbrown Thanks, this is very helpful for getting an idea of when to plan purchases! This last Platinum Perk was awesome and despite technical problems on my end, I was thrilled to get in on all of them, as well as the BareMinerals Diamond Perk. (It sounds great & I never would have tried it otherwise.)
