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.

I placed my order earlier today.  I got the perricone md for my mom for her bday next month.  I hope she likes it!  The gwps didn't speak to me but they were nice to get since I was purchasing anyway.  😁

[Anonymous]

does anyone have an No7 code that they aren't going to use?? I'd really appreciate it! thanks!

[RGbrown]

@Anonymous I'll PM you mine 🙂

This is a nice surprise GWP with  $35 Fragrance gift purchase. Im all tapped out fragrance wise. But I like this. Plus, the lancome Matte Shaker High pigment liquid lipstick is $15 Reg $22:

[ohheyitscindyk]

Looks like the perk that is free with a $20 foundation purchase is indeed live now.

Product ID: =pimprod2004557

[alexalicious]

and it's OOS

[RGbrown]

Just got an email with more new deals and another GWP as well...sorry for no screenshots, but my phone is a beast with emails lately, and I hate doing them on my desktop 😕

Juicy Couture Bucket Bag free with ANY $35 fragrance purchase (xlsImpprod17341103)

[RandeeJ9]

That's super annoying. It's nice that they're adding things, but like many, I place any diamond perk orders first thing in the morning before anything goes out of stock. To add things after the fact just kinda sucks. I had been sitting on points waiting for today, got my fragrance that I wanted along with my free AG, only to find that later, I also qualify for a juicy bucket bag but my order was already placed. Wtf. It's not a huge deal, it's just a bag and Lord knows I've got totes to spare, but it's the principal or something. It's just annoying. 

[RGbrown]

Agreed. I wouldn't mind the bucket bag, and might have considered it earlier, if all of my options had been laid out to me at one time. I'm starting to dislike "let's add stuff later in the day" on a whole new level I didn't realize bothered me before today. 

Side note to anyone still thinking about a purchase...the $10 Bareminerals discount counts towards the Buxom gift since it applies after the subtotal, so you can check out at $40 and still get the gwp.

[ohheyitscindyk]

Someone on reddit said that CS told them the perk that is free with a $20 foundation purchase will go live at 4 p.m. CST.

@RGbrown 

[RGbrown]

While I appreciate that they have been adding extra deals during 21 days, that's got to be the stupidest thing I've heard for a Perk day. Daily Deals ship free for Platinum/Diamond, so there's no harm there (though I guess it does screw the folks without status that want whatever the addition is, but have already ordered). $20 however doesn't ship free for anyone (though OTOH I guess you could argue there isn't much in the foundation category under $20 anyways). 

In any case, in my sleep deprived and addlepated state earlier today, I might have considered a purchase for it this morning, but there's no way in heck I'm gonna bother later today. Not after the disappointment today has been. 😠 Rambling rant over 😋

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown I'm wondering if it's even true. We all know how sometimes the reps aren't sure themselves what's going on.

[RGbrown]

@ohheyitscindyk 

Yeah, very true. While I was reading the Reddit thread, I had that same thought. CS reps are woefully out of touch with future plans (and that goes for most companies, not just Ulta) and I'm not sure I believe they actually have knowledge of this going live later anyways. I mean...one rep told someone the gwp sold out, but there's no way that's true, since it never worked in the first place. 

Maybe they do know this time and maybe it will go live. But I definitely won't be making a purchase for it...I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a small purchase to get the AG Hair (because we've discovered Diamond Gifts sell out way early, so I felt like I had to). If I could have gotten the BM $10 off + the Buxom gift + Diamond gift + the 10pc gift at one time, I would have considered a larger transaction, but make me separate my purchases and spend more in the process? Nope, no way. 

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown I was glad that there was a perk (besides the Diamond) that was not brand-specific, but I didn't end up making a purchase just for it, especially since I wasn't interested in the Diamond perk this month. The Nudestix perk never went live, either, actually. Wonder if that'll be for later this month or something.

[RGbrown]

@ohheyitscindyk 

I've had a couple of AG things on my "I'd like to try that at some point" radar for a while now, but just haven't gotten around to the brand in general, so I was kinda excited for that. The rest of the Perks? Total disappointment, to me at least. I was happy to see the Buxom set, but it definitely wasn't worth going out of the way to get.

Maybe Nudestix goes live at 4 too 😂

[Buootiful]

Yeah, all the perks were pretty disappointing until I saw the Smashbox gift.:)  It gave me an excuse to try the Kale My vibe lipstick. I hope it's a good color, better than the CP Mr Blonde -as far as being too white-based. The swatches give me hope, but you never know. PS If anyone wants the No 7 code, PM Me 🙂

I wish they had given both AG and No7 options for Diamond members. That AG one sounds very interesting and Im not usually interested in Hair freebies or gwp's.  It would have been nice to try. What a lackluster April fools perks day. @RGbrown  @ohheyitscindyk , thanks for all the info, guys! 

[ohheyitscindyk]

@Buootiful April Fool's Perks for sure 😄

[Buootiful]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 @ohheyitscindyk 

[RGbrown]

@Buootiful 

I have already created an image of you in my head wearing Kale My Vibe, and I have to say, it looks fabulous 😍

[Buootiful]

Awww, thanks!!!! 😘 @RGbrown 🤞👍 We'll see 🙂

[alexalicious]

FYI for ibotta users: an extra $5 back when you spend $60 now through the end of April.
