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.

@civ2ru curious: is the 15% off app multi use?

[civ2ru]

@greeneyedgirl107 I don’t see why not? It’s a generic code.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@civ2ru thanks for the info!

[mwg1]

Rakuten is 10% today too! But remember to use it with the app you'll have to add the order to your Rakuten account manually.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@mwg1 any details on how to do this?  I mean, do I go to my rakuten app the ulta app...?

[civ2ru]

@greeneyedgirl107 It’s a workaround. You start a shopping trip on Rakuten, then complete the order in Ulta app, then file for missing cashback on Rakuten site after 1-2 days. They usually honor it.

[itscarin]

@civ2ru Wow, when did they start doing that again?  Last I remember they discontinued that "help find missing cash back" option.  Thank god I clicked through using the rakuten app this morning before I placed my order.  I was hoping there'd be a way to get the app discount through rakuten.  

[civ2ru]

@itscarin Yay! Old money saving habits, gotta love them kicking in. What did you get??? Opened all your vacation packages yet? 😉

[greeneyedgirl107]

@civ2ru thanks for taking the time to explain it!

[jojo83]

What do we think will be the big app event for tomorrow? Sounds like the same kinda thing they always do, app specials, but I'm all for more "free" gifts.  Interesting that they put it right after diamond perk day. 

[jojo83]

Ulta is stocking me. right after I posted this I get an app notification that I guess says it will be 15% off all purchases but when I clicked on it it disappeared and wouldn't let me read it just sent me to site.  😒

[itscarin]

I got my Monday order in today.  I ordered a light gentry gift and received the shade 5 instead, and got a bonus lip gloss in hot cherry

 
the platinum bag was missing the highlighted items

 
they were replaced with

 
I think the Nars for Laura merrier swap is fair but the lotion for two foil samples seems cheap.  

[civ2ru]

@itscarin Did you mean to say, “light Fenty gift”? 😂 Mine was canceled from the order altogether. Glad at least some of us got a bonus! 👍🏻 💄 

[itscarin]

@civ2ru I'm sorry your GWP got cancelled.  That's disappointing!  Totally meant fenty, but you know, autocorrect knows better than me what I'm trying to type.  😛

[civ2ru]

@itscarin Oh that’s Okay... Ulta has been naughty some but also nice some too. How are those glosses? I still haven’t decided what to get as my Diamond re-qualification gift, and the Fenty glow nude one is one of the options… Decisions decisions.

[gonerogue]

@itscarin  Same on my GWP bag missing items except mine weren’t substituted with anything 🙄 I also received shade 5 in Fenty and the additional lippie makes up for the lackluster GWP bag this time around.

[itscarin]

@gonerogue Boo!  Back in the day I remember CS would comp you with a little gift card to make it right.  It doesn't seem like they're doing that since they changed the wording on the GWPs to include something to the effect "samples may vary".  

[jojo83]

Wow you got Nars The Multiple?! I've never seen that in a gift bag before and I've gotten Nars gwps so many times over the years. 

[jojo83]

Copacabana?! Do they still make that shade? Not like I need it. 😆

[itscarin]

@jojo83 Yes!  I think I even had a copacabana mini multiple at one point in time.  It's cute.

New gwp 

And a tease for something starting tomorrow...
