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

Spoiler

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.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@snoflakefaerie $3.16 is about a $105.40 total. Cashback is also pre-tax. The $180 and $144 are pre-tax? You mentioned pre/post coupon, just making sure 🙂

 

This time my Ulta calculated on the subtotal after the 20%, I did get the full 3%, didn't use points.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@snoflakefaerie

So you used your 20% and still got cash back? (granted, it's lower than was expected, but still...)

 

The last round of 20% q's, neither me nor my sis got any cashback at all; I tried mr rebates and she tried ebates. T&C of both sites state that if you use a coupon not found on their site, cashback is invalidated....granted, they've never actually enforced that before, but it seems Ulta is catching on lately and is now correcting the reporting to both sites.

 

I'm sorry you didn't get the full 3% (and in times long past, it would have been 3% of your $180 total)...but I'm a little surprised you got any at all, frankly, and I certainly would not advise asking ebates about it...if they investigate and see the coupon, they will likely void the whole thing 😞 

I've had the ebates work on my points redemptions in the...

I think you are spot on @RGbrown. Seems like retailers are getting smarter and cranking down on these referral sites more. In the past ebates worked on my points redemptions, but only when using their coupons. I know ibotta only credits you on your gc and actual $$ spent, but I've actually been using them a lot more lately with recent online and ulta shopping bonuses, and sometimes they are higher % than ebates.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Haha yeah, I definitely am not going to ask them about it @RGbrown. I'm just VERY confused on how their math worked. So strange.

ebates/mr.rebates & I think even topcashback only counts...

ebates/mr.rebates & I think even topcashback only counts the actual amount you spent in cash when you redeem points. It's stupid, I know. I want to say, it took them awhile to catch on because it surprised me too. Then i remembered i paid with mostly points.

Re: ebates/mr.rebates & I think even topcashback only counts...

@sonnydee Do they give you cash back if you used a gift card to pay for part (or all) of the purchase?

Re: ebates/mr.rebates & I think even topcashback only counts...

I used a $100 gf the other day on part of an order and they gave me cash back on the full amount, so yeah, they seemingly treat giftcards like real money.

Re: ebates/mr.rebates & I think even topcashback only counts...

@greeneyedgirl107

Yes, they pay out on transactions where you use a gift card for payment. 

Re: ebates/mr.rebates & I think even topcashback only counts...

Thanks for the info @RGbrown!  I'm new to ebates 🙂

RE: Re: Ulta GWPs

@lisainprogress did you say you had two? If one is still available I’d put it to good use since I’m having a bear of a time getting any promos from Ulta if not thanks for donating to a good cause.

Re: RE: Re: Ulta GWPs

@sarahshter

I'll send you the other one 🙂

Re: RE: Re: Ulta GWPs

Re: Ulta GWPs

Thanks for posting! I will wait until Wednesday, hope it would the BECCA one!!

Re: Ulta GWPs

Thanks for posting this @RGbrown! I didn't get an email about it, but this definitely made it worth while to do an order to use the 20% off coupon and points. I like their styling creams, but I've never really tried their shampoos/conditioners, so I'm excited for it.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Thank you SO MUCH @RGbrown for always finding Ulta's free gifts right away! I had to place a huge order just now, and couldn't wait for Wed's Beauty Break. Even though I don't need Devacurl, ANY free gift is better than nothing at all :)) This one is quite nice with such large bottle sizes. So I am happy and the person I am gifting this to will love it too.
