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.

If anyone isn’t going to use their 20% code, id greatly appreciate a pm since I’m not platinum yet. 

[mganeshaly]

Yay!! I just got my email!

[ClassicallyFab]

Same! Thank goodness!! Def buying this:

[itscarin]

Wahoo! The nars 5x multiplier is good through 5/21. I see a lot of nars in my future!

[niki172]

Yaaaaayyy!!! Smashbox x Vlada release here I come - mama's got some points she wants to cash in :D.

[BrwnSugaG]

@niki172 - is it bad that i want all of it? 

[candyrivera]

I hope I actually get it. Nothing in my email today, fingers crossed tomorrow.

[Starburst24]

Oooo super excited! This means I’ll be making two separate purchases in store (one with the 20% off and one with my birthday coupon)

[mganeshaly]

Thanks for posting!!

[ClassicallyFab]

Oooo!! Fantastic!!

[niki172]

Wow Ulta is really going about and getting a ton of new brands (BB at 20% off with points is awesome news for my wallet). Makes you wonder what may be next....

[quspork]

YESSSSSS! This makes me excited. I love BBs but they can be hard to justify because of the price. However, if I can count on stocking up with point redemptions? Done! 

[NatureGirlSD]

Great news!!! This is weird, but I've been a Beauty Blender die-hard for many years, but I got the EcoTools green one in a GWP a few months ago & don't notice much difference. (I'd only tried a Sephora one before that & threw it out, so I thought all knock-offs sucked.) I'm just concerned that more recent reviews say the EcoTools sponges have changed, so maybe a bait & switch? I'll find out when the two I just grabbed on sale get here......

[quspork]

I hope the newer ones will continue to work for you, @NatureGirlSD! TBH, I wasn't that impressed with the ecotools, but I don't mind the Real Techniques version when I'm looking for a cheaper alternative. That said, the ProBB is just better with most of my foundations for some reason, unfortunately (for my wallet).

Also, don't forget that the 18pc bag w/$30 purchase that @JiMi2006 posted a couple of days ago is now live. Product ID 17461109, or the link is on the spreadsheet (this is a hidden affiliate GWP, and does NOT show up on Ulta's site without the link)

Keep in mind that the prediction is for a 20% coupon tomorrow...so debate the worth of the GWP vs the discount. Beauty Breaks certainly won't be around on Thursday, so you'll have to decide which has more value to you 😄

[niki172]

Do we know how long the coupon is good for? I don't recall Ulta doing just a 1 day 20% coupon - I just want the Smashbox X Vlada release (comes out the 13th) super bad and at 20% that would be awesome! 

[RGbrown]

Last year's was valid from the 13th to the 22nd, so assuming this one happens on the same schedule, it should run from the 12th to the 21st.

Last year's info is all on the spreadsheet as well, on the 2017 tab.

[abbeyswihart]

i am not 100% positive but last year on april 13th, there was a 20% off prestige coupon code that lasted a week. 

[RandeeJ9]

Aww man! I had a small cart waiting for a beauty break and I placed it as soon as I saw it and forgot all about the 18pc bag! That's what I get for not checking here first; and I know better! 😛 oh well

[NatureGirlSD]

I almost did the same thing, but made sure to check the spreadsheet AND use eBates to justify a few sale items & full-priced Nars gloss for my mom. (I give her so many GWPs, she now texts me for specific samples & colors!) Good luck calling to see if they'll add it. 🙂
