Ulta GWPs

This thread will be for Ulta GWPs only.  Share ulta promos here.  

 

Please do NOT post requests for the spreadsheet in this thread.  Please post requests for the Ulta GWP google spread sheet in this thread: http://community.sephora.com/t5/Off-Topic/Ulta-GWP-Google-Spreadsheet-Request-Thread/m-p/2753063#M11...

 

A list of in store coupons is here: https://community.sephora.com/t5/Savvy-Shoppers/Ulta-GWP-Coupons-no-chatter/td-p/3866521

 

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.

Sorry, I just looked back through the thread and answered my question😊

Re: Ulta GWPs

@writtenonpaiges@RGbrown@mwg1@NatureGirlSD@quetzalinaI've been waiting on a beauty break, too.   Although this isn't a super tempting offer to me I may go ahead and pull the trigger since this might be as good as it gets.  I think usually when we have a coupon like this we dono't also get a beauty break or if we do have a beauty break, it's a night time beauty break like this.  I believe odds are low we'll see another beauty break on Wednesday based on the fact they're doing this one tonight.  @notcreative what do you think?

Re: Ulta GWPs

@itscarin@notcreative

I poked through last year's calendar as well, and each time we had a 20%, we got Beauty Breaks as normal (and even a couple of extra ones on Monday like this). The only major exception was December...we got hosed on BB for the entire month. 

 

I don't find Lancome all that enticing either so I'll be holding off. I'd just as soon hope for something better, and even if nothing else comes, I won't be sad about missing this one. Perfectly lovely brand...there just isn't a thing in that set speaks to me lol.

Re: Ulta GWPs

I did not track anything last year so I will take your word for it. Even if I miss it, I have so much Lancome. It's all good. Fingers crossed for something awesome that lasts at least until I wake up on Wednesday. The really good ones run out before I get out of bed.

 

I love BiFacil, but I think I have enough until at least 2022.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@notcreative

I know you do your own thing for your blog (and very well, I might add), but do you have our spreadsheet link? We tracked last year's promos just so we'd have some quick and easy insight as to what might be coming, and that's what I looked through for this.

 

It also tells me we might have a Plat Perk day on Friday, though it likely won't be big. Last year the schedule was pretty random, but this year it's been a big one on the first Monday and then a small one three Fridays later (early access to one or two items, and maaayyybbbeee a GWP; Feb had one, but Jan and Mar did not). 

Re: Ulta GWPs

I use tracking the same way (to look at the past to predict the future). I started that with some things in 2015, but I did not perfect it (tracking practically everything) until this year. My plan was to fully do it in 2017, but life got in the way. Taking 2017 off set me back so I will probably not be good at it until 2019 or even 2020. That is what I mean when I said I would take your word for it. I meant it as a compliment. Based on our conversations, I think you've mastered the tracking. I am still working on it, especially with Platinum Perks because that was not an article I coined in 2015 or 2016. My memory is not what it used to be either so I cannot recall when we received offers last year. Although I did remember to save the offers (via emails) for the big bags. 

 

I have not viewed that on the spreadsheet and probably won't because I do not have the visuals to back it up. Unless I own the visuals or can link to someone else who does, I usually will not share past/future offers. When I have some sort of visual, I will post articles/stuff in advance, make predictions, spoil upcoming stuff, etc. Otherwise, I post everything after the fact strictly for tracking. I can never spoil Beauty Breaks, because they are not announced in advance. I wish they were so I could set my alarm early on the good ones. I've missed so many from not waking up until 7:35-7:55am PST.

@itscarin I'm on a supertight budget through the end of the month, but need retinol ASAP, so I pulled the trigger with my 20% & $50 in rewards to at least get the Beauty Break & the GWP to give away. (My skin neeeeds PTR RetinolFusion PM.) I sound like a Magic 8-Ball, but my best guess is that there will be bigger rewards later this week.

Re: Ulta GWPs

I was going through the same dilemma. Was waiting for Wednesday to place my 20% off order, because I only got one code (so far) this round. When I saw this Beauty Break, which is one I've received so many times as a Lancome GWP, I was discouraged. The track record for a Mon and Weds Beauty Break for 2018 is better than skipping. I have not decided what I will do. I may just chance it because I have enough Lancome products and want a chance at something else. I hate passing guaranteed freebies though. 

 

This year:

Monday 1/22 no 1/24 Beauty Break

Monday 1/29 and 01/31 Beauty Break (but they skipped 02/07)

Monday 2/19 and 02/21

Monday 3/12 and 03/14

Tuesday 3/20 no 03/21

This is starting Friday. It is only available with a $30 spring haul (items do not combine with 20% off) purchase though. Item # 2529516

Re: Ulta GWPs

@notcreative - thanks for this. i decided to wait b/c i didn't realize the spring haul stuff wouldn't qualify for the coupon anyway and i don't really need the lancome stuff. hopefully i can snag this gwp. i had enough stuff i wanted to get last week's gift too but i waited too long. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

@notcreativeYou've convinced me!  I'll hold off for Wednesday!

Re: Ulta GWPs

Watch Ulta email a second coupon, no offer pop up on Wednesday or the rest of the week, and some of my items go out-of-stock. I am depressed so I can only stay optimistic for so long. All joking aside, I hope it works out. I am 99.9% for sure chancing it as well. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

Please tell me I’m not crazy for holding onto my 20% coupon in hopes of a GWP.. 

I am so ready to hit “complete order”!

@writtenonpaiges There's a Lancome GWP for the next 6 hours. 🙂

Re: Ulta GWPs

Nope, I'm holding on to mine too. I'm planning on getting a NuFace device so I have a slim hope for a point multiplier, but I don't know that they've ever done that before.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@mwg1

I don't know which Nuface device you were looking at, but Ulta just got a new set with the mini. Same price as just the device, and it has a couple of freebies with it (plus it's a super cute pink color!). Saw it and knew i had just seen someone talking about getting one, so I'm glad I was able to find your post 😃

Re: Ulta GWPs

Thanks so much! That is cute. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

@writtenonpaiges

Not crazy at all...I'm doing the same 😛

 

Hopefully there's a nice Beauty Break on Wednesday. If not, I'm holding out to see what Friday may bring...I'm kinda sorta hoping there will be a small Platinum Perk day based on the schedule Ulta seems to have set so far this year. Fingers crossed something good comes up...if not, well, I'll guess I'll be ordering on Saturday, GWP-less lol.
