Let's keep this thread on topic!
Ulta points refresher (because yes, it is that complicated):
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
Links are not allowed. In lieu of links, please read this:
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.

It figures that I placed my order this morning when I woke up @alexalicious and there is a Beauty Break this evening. Anyway we are limited to 2 items maximum purchase for the 21 Days of Beauty. Sephora price matched my Murad moisturizer so I was able to also get the RB Lip Soufflé as a GWP.
@Loretta55 if theres a store near you, you can do the 'pickup' option, to ensure it doesnt sell out. then, if theres a BB later, you can order online to get that, and then just dont pick up the pickup order, and it will be refunded after 5 days. 👍
Thank you very much for the tip @treestar86 , but the deal was an on line offer only. BTW my order from Monday is still not enroute. It must be shipping from a warehouse where the weather is inclement. At least I did receive the Murad GWP.
If ulta doesn't have a decent gwp or multiplier, I'm tempted to get whatever I need at Sephora during the sale.
In some cases, like the Stila eyeliner yesterday, Sephora is offering a better selection for the same deal.
@Loretta55 it seems like we are back to getting Monday and Wednesday beauty breaks or gwps consistently again, but more evening ones.
I'm hoping we see a fragrance minis BB before the end of the month.🤞
Last year we were able to purchase 4 items from a daily deal during the Beauty Break @alexalicious. Originally I plan to use 2000 points if I was able to purchase the 4 Murad moisturizers until I received the surprise email for the 1000 bonus points. Well with today’s Ulta purchase I am halfway there. It would have been nice to take advantage of the Beauty Break but to be able to try another RB Beauty Lip Soufflé is also a bonus.
The limited one day sales and limitation of 2 items would make it tough to use points, but at least you got a multiplier. @Loretta55 totally hear you and notice Ulta is tightening up on things like cashback apps too.
I am a believer in using my points on the big gwp bags, diamond perks days, and with the coveted 20% purchase (including prestige) coupon.
They could ditch the birthday gift deluxe sample and offer that 20% off purchase coupon instead and I'd be over the moon.
It's also tough making a gamble to wait for the evening beauty break to buy the daily deal, it's always possibly something will go out of stock before the gwp goes live.
fyi-These evening beauty breaks are typically visible by search for gwp on the app around 4pm.
If any one it's looking for makeup organization items, Target's deal is through today (which usually runs through 2am central time.
15% organizers, brushes, and sponges plus $10 giftcard with $40. Sorry I'm late posting, just caught this deal now. Seems like more retailers are competing with Ulta these days.
The giftcard knocks these two down to around $15-$17 each which seems crazy good. Their drawer units are nice and solid, I've never had the spinning one before.
@alexalicious Nice! If you ever have any other Target beauty deals to share, please feel free to post on my Target thread. So far it’s been mostly me doing all the posting... 🤣

So this is odd. I got a “1,000 bonus points for A TOTAL OF $200 spend" offer, and I naturally wondered if the spend can be accumulated in multiple transactions – or if I have to drop $200 in a single transaction (ain’t gonna happen Ulta). According to the answer I just got from CS on FB, it has to be a single transaction. What?😖
@itscarin @RGbrown @ohheyitscindyk
Edit: I pressed them on it, and they corrected themselves! ☺️
Question in that regard: if one were to make a return for a past purchase during 21 Days, would it count against that accumulated spend? I thought it would, but here is what CS said:
So sounds like only new purchases between 3/14 and 4/3 are considered for the bonus, no?
Thank you for this! There were a couple of things I was debating about getting and this would def help my decision and keep track! 😁
Thanks for checking @civ2ru! Now I’m wondering about using points - would they count towards the $200 spend?
@savvy4 I'm 99.9% sure they wouldn’t. Can't earn points by spending points anymore... 😥
Thanks for doing that @civ2ru I wonder if the rep is wrong though because I think the language on this offer is different from the language used on past offers.
edit: thanks for the update. I like being able to meet the spend over multiple transactions better than one big purchase.
@itscarin Totally agree – especially on 21 Days! Different deals on different days, so who wants to drop $200 in one sitting? Unless it's the absolute HG ride-or-die product that never goes bad... 🤣
21 Days is live, so of course, we have a Haircare gwp! 🤔🤭 (ok ok, it's also National Dry Shampoo Day, so be sure to check out the ones on sale 😋 )
Pimprod2023220
Stack that with this gwp on $35 select Haircare, ifn you are interested in any of the 136 participating items. Adds to cart automatically, pimprod2023275 for the full list
Three new multipliers, plus a bonus points offer
Today's Surprise Steal is Lancome Idole
Two new brands: Bravo Sierra and CO by Colgate
...and Ulta x WandaVision and Colourpop x Bambi are up
Whew, busy night!
BTW, be sure to check out the GWP pages; there are tons of new ones up for this ad cycle!
Here is mine:
@RGbrown Here is my bonus points offer.
Edit: reddit has also reported a variation of 1,000 points with $200.
@ohheyitscindyk @RGbrown I got the 1000 points with $200 offer. My YTD out of pocket spend is $201. Now I wonder what Ulta's YTD spend (or near future likely-to-spend) threshold is for recipients of this offer, assuming they have one. I almost wish I had a high priced item in mind to put a big chunk of my existing points toward, bringing the price down to $200. That'd be better (for me) than buying another $200 of lipsticks. 😂🤦♀️
Note to self: I see Becca's highlighters will be 50% on March 19, and the Exuviance AHA + PHA peels will be 50% off on April 2. Will plan to do BOPIS orders on those 2 days.
I hit the Ulta points lottery! I received earn 1000 points when you spend a total of $200.00 . It is a one time offer. I may have only spent $150.00 at Ulta this year. Good thing that my Murad moisturizer is part of 21 Days of Beauty tomorrow.
Hmmm, interesting. "Total of $100" sounds like multiple transactions might be allowed?! If so, that's a really nice nice offer!
@RGbrown @ohheyitscindyk i actually came here to ask if it’s a single transaction or total. The way it’s worded it sounds like the spend minimum can be reached by multiple transactions but I’d like to see a previous offer to compare the language.
