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.

@RaeRae3235 There were glitches where you didn't have to spend the required amount to get certain freebies. If you scroll down & read yesterday's posts, you can see more details. I will tag you 🙂

[alexalicious]

.29 after points and 20% coupon. I'm shook! And the robe stayed in the cart with the Ariana Grande freebie. yay! Thanks for the sweet tips ladies!

[RaeRae3235]

Girl you scored!! How did you do this? I'm new to the group and I'd love any/all of your help! Did you have a gift card? I'm soooo confused. LOL Thanks 😘

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RaeRae3235 Besides the glitches, she also used some points. With a rewards account, you can spend points like money.

My second order. I was able to get the bag with $22 purchase!!! 

[Indy701]

Wow. That didn’t work for me. But they are already out of the bag I wanted anyway. Gee

thats quick 

[ArmyChick84]

Why did you have to go and give me ideas? Lol I ended up using points too. I placed 3 orders and got 3 bags (which I will be donating). 

[KMart919]

This year my job asked us to focus on teenagers for our holiday drive & suggested makeup, so I’ve been bringing in a bunch of the better GWPs (along with a mix of purchased items) to donate as well.

[ArmyChick84]

I placed two orders. This was the second one. Definitely don't need to spend $60 to get the bag. My order was $51.50 before the coupon and the bag was still free.  

[itscarin]

@ArmyChick84 You know what is odd?  I bought the sultry palette ($45) and got the $60 bag for free, but the ariana grande mini with the $50 buy in was still showing up as $50.  I don't give a hoot about Ariana grande so I was happy to let that go.  I just can't understand the logic behind giving me the $60 gwp but not the $50 gwp.

[ohheyitscindyk]

According to reddit, these stay in your cart when you add & remove items!

Any fragrance worked for the robe/throw.

Edit: Apparently the Ariana Grande Perk is what is counting toward it, so you may need to have that in your cart and/or have your order be at least $50 for this to work.

Not every Clinique product works, what worked for me was the Turnaround Overnight Revitalizing Moisturizer.

And as @imababymuffin showed, a 99 cent Essence eyeshadow single gets you the Clinique freebie.

Edit: There's also a second Beauty Bag option, if anyone missed that 🙂

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RaeRae3235 🙂

[RGbrown]

Ok, I had to do a little playing here 😄

Best I can tell, you need the Clinique freebie in your cart (the TTDO liquid with "any" eye palette), and then add a Clinique item for the Clinique 2pc GWP. Remove that item, and I guess the 2pc Clinique sticks to the TTDO liquid?

For the fragrance, the only way I can get the robe/throw to stick is if I also have the Ariana Grande gwp in my cart...the robe seem to stick to the AG freebie once you remove the "paid" fragrance. Sadly, as best I can tell, AG needs $50...I can't seem to get under that and still keep it free.

And dang...AG just went OOS 😞

EDIT: and Clinique TTDO is OOS now...good grief, I was looking for a penny to avoid shipping 😕

[missp25]

Yeah, I missed it, too.  I was having browser issues.  I'll take it as a sign that I didn't need anything at the moment.  It's not like I don't have plenty of GWP bags, already  - lol!

[alexalicious]

@RGbrown that essence eye shadow trick still worked a few minutes ago to get the Clinique freebies, give it a whirl

[RGbrown]

@alexalicious

No, not working...TTDO being OOS removes the other two as far as I can tell.

[imababymuffin]

 Don’t worry! I used Ebates! 

[alexalicious]

Your total is totally awesome. lol Thanks for that eyeshadow hack! 💖

[RGbrown]

Well, that's new...

[itscarin]

@RGbrown Where was this when I was trying to place in order while out of the country a couple of weeks ago?  I put in an email help request and they just told me tough cookies.   FYI: you apparently can't place orders online or via the app when you're in a different country according to the Ulta customer service rep.  I was disappointed they didn't offer me any kind of compensation or allow me to place my order.

I think this is untrue because I'm pretty sure I've been able to place an order when I was on vacation before.

Does anyone have experience with placing orders with ulta either via the app or the web while in another country?

[ohheyitscindyk]

@itscarin @RGbrown I've always gotten that message, I thought it always pops up haha. I usually have a bunch of tabs open (including my cart) because I play around with my orders a lot before I check out. I'll add something to my cart in one tab, then go to close the old cart tab & the message will be there. I always thought it was because I take so long placing orders lol. So if you're ever trying to get that message, maybe try opening a bunch of tabs?

I've heard of people having issues placing orders while in another country. That's disappointing that CS wouldn't let you place your order over the phone at least.
