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 Thank you!!

[magda124]

Ahhhhhhh

[iwantitfree]

Honestly, I am so confused this time.  I re-read the last few pages in an attempt to figure out what is best to do Saturday, but I am lost, completely lost.  I want to take best advantage of the stacking but just can't figure it out.

Thanks to all who post the deals and the stacking.  You are all better at it than I am.

@iwantitfree

It's really not that bad, other than the huge massive quantity of items on sale to comb through lol

There is currently the choice of 3 bags with $65. Supposedly/hopefully/probably at midnight central, we'll also have a choice of 4 mystery bags with $65 purchase

Use the 10off60 if you can (non-prestige), or add $10+ Sebastian to use code SEBASTIAN10. A couple other options for $off includes FAB (10off50, happens automatically in your cart) and Perricone (25off75, also automatic). Any mix of these that you can come up with can get you under the $65 OOP for both bags.

Add the CoverFX freebie too...may as well! And don't forget to use a cashback site 🙂

Split transactions when possible, if you want more bags. 

The hardest part is figuring out what you want to buy in the first place 😛

[iwantitfree]

Thank you very much.  I added a bunch of LaVanilla deodorant in my cart but it says excluded from coupons so I guess I can't use the discount.  I am going to try to wait up another 2 hours to see about the mystery bag, but not sure how that will go.  The current bags don't thrill me, but hoping the mystery one will strike it rich!

Have a good night!

Somebody asked me about the Peach & Lily Glass Skin Serum @itsfi @eshoe was it you? It's on sale for $27 if you wanted to give it a shot! It's a good time for it since there's lots of stacking going on over here!

[eshoe]

@makeitup305 yes it was me, thank you so much!🤗

[magda124]

Hola... what time do you guys expect to see the Mystery Bags go live? 12 AM CT? And the next bonus points offer? Ahhhhhhhh.. getting nervous hahaha

[RGbrown]

@magda124

Yes, Ulta runs on Central time, and they are usually good about things updating at straight up midnight 🙂 The full site usually takes 15-20 minutes to fully update and show everything, but the app should be ready by 12:01

[iwantitfree]

I don't have the app, but I am wondering if you can use a shopping portal in conjunction with the app.  If not, why do people use the app?  Thanks.

[RGbrown]

@iwantitfreeUnidentified

I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't actually purchase through the app (100% due to lack of cash back); it's just the quickest way to browse Ulta's site. I can maneuver around a lot quicker, and that's where I usually load my cart up. I then go to Mr rebates or whoever is highest for cash back, and make the actual purchase through the full site from there 😊

[GalPalVal17]

Are points earned on purchase that you redeem points?

[RGbrown]

@GalPalVal17

YES and NO 😄

Sitewide multipliers, like the current 2x/3x/4x on everything, aren't all that friendly to spending points...you only earn points on what you spend OOP.

But, the item or category specific multipliers, like 5x Tarte, you'll earn most of your points (4x, to be more exact...you lose the 1x base but still earn the rest of them) even if you spend points.

[CAcay]

@RGbrown thank you so much for clarifying. I don’t think I ever redeemed and used 5x etc. This is awesome information going forward. Thank you!!😊👍 

[CAcay]

@GalPalVal17 No, unfortunately not😔

[GalPalVal17]

Thanks. I figured but wanted to see if maybe there was still a way. Oh well.

[Feebee1115]

Free Clinique full sized gifts with mailer. I picked mine up today. 

[Loretta55]

I picked up the free gift in store today @Feebee1115. No purchase required.

[Feebee1115]

Nice! @Loretta55

[Loretta55]

So excited, I just received the same postcard for the free gifts. I could always use another Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. Thanks for posting this offer @Feebee1115.

I was talking with a coworker yesterday and I learned that one of her friends works at my local Ulta, so I am hoping to forge a relationship with her so she could possibly give me some insight to some offers or freebies that I may not be aware of.

[itscarin]

@Feebee1115 What's that little * next to "free" though?!  Free*... free with consultation?  free with purchase?  Show me the fine print!  😄
