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.

@ohheyitscindyk seems to be working fine for me in the app with a too faced marker. Are you logged in (since it's only for Platinum)? If you are, which item in particular are you having issues with? I'd be happy to double check on my end...could be a glitch on a certain item?

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown Oh I think you're right, it may be a glitch.. I tried checking out on the app & it didn't work either. It's the Cargo Waterproof Mascara Top Coat. Thank you! 🙂

[RGbrown]

@ohheyitscindyk

I'm not sure what to make of that then...it's working for me?

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown Wait, I just tried logging out & then back in & it worked haha!

[RGbrown]

@ohheyitscindyk

Whew, congrats! I was worried Ulta was starting to hand out secret demotions or something hahaha 😛

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown Huh how strange. Come on Ulta, take my money 😄 Thanks for checking!

[Glitternoodle]

Check your accounts for 3x or 5x (for platinum) points multiplier...just in time for the goodies I have been eyeing 😁

[RGbrown]

Sweet! I've been contemplating a Foreo with the 5x I already have for it, but wasn't quite happy enough with that multiplier to pull the trigger. 9.25x seals the deal now! 😁 I think I'll still hold off til Saturday just in case a freebie pops up too (I can dream, right? Lol).

@mwg1 thanks for pointing out Sunday on this one...most multipliers end on Saturdays (except the fragrance crush, which always runs through the last day of the month), so I hadn't even paid attention to the end date. Maybe we'll get some other nice multipliers on Sunday for another good stack or two!

[denn2626]

Did the 5x applies for high end brand?

[ohheyitscindyk]

@denn2626 The email said all products, so I believe so! 🙂

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown I've been wanting a Foreo for so long! I have a Clarisonic & I'm tempted to buy more brush heads with the BOGO coming up, but it seems a lot of people love their Foreo. Lucky you with the 9.25x! 🙂

[RGbrown]

@ohheyitscindyk

I have both; I bought a Mia 2 somewhere around two years ago and I found my first Luna play in a gift set on clearance back in Feb at ulta. I was using the clarisonic daily until I got the foreo, but then I cut back on the usage a bit, fearing overworking my skin. Clarisonic gets used 2-3 times a week in the morning, and Foreo gets used every other night. 

During last year's 12 Days I bought a bunch of brush heads from Ulta and still have a couple. I won't buy more this year, and may let the clarisonic go once I finally run out of them...I like it, but I like the foreo better as it's a bit gentler. I like the extra-clean feeling I get from the Mia, but I tend to be rough on my skin, and it seems the clarisonic allows me to scrub a little harder than I really should. The silicone bristles of the foreo are much more difficult for me to abuse lol.

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown Thank you for the comparison! I think I will definitely pull the trigger by the end of the year 🙂 And I do have another Clarisonic brush head, so I probably shouldn't buy more if I'm planning on getting a Foreo haha. I agree, I love that clean feeling, but I do tend to scrub harder than I should, & oftentimes my sensitive skin suffers 😞 The Foreo also seems more hygienic to me? I don't know, I'm just always worried that the Clarisonic brush heads are harboring bacteria.

[mwg1]

Only through Sunday, though.

Okay, now I'm one very embarrassed Luddite. I never scrolled right far enough to find the links.

Hi, wondering how to redeem this gift? Is the promo code: 2518682?

Thank you!

[ohheyitscindyk]

@phantompenguinx Ooh that's right, I haven't been getting up that early in a while, so I totally forgot haha thanks for the reminder!

[Acha]

@phantompenguinx @ohheyitscindyk Hey, thank you for the information. Wow, I'm totally new to ULTA, and looks like their GWP are amazzzzzing!

[phantompenguinx]

@Achafo sho! ulta won me over, and it was in large part due to this thread lol

i gladly allowed my vib status to expire last year and i've only purchased one thing from sephora this year. i literally only visit the site for this community

[phantompenguinx]

@Achabeauty break cut off times are usually more strict than their start time. I'm on the east coast and they're usually available when I get up in the morning, so ~7am at least
