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.

@gingerleigh  oh no! sorry ulta cs was lackluster this time around, esp with the whole ordeal with your package! I have found that the cs reps are a lot more helpful and go above and beyond when you call as opposed to emailing...not sure if anyone else has experienced this...

but hopefully the points stick! that would be a nice silver lining

[RGbrown]

@gingerleigh Awww, I'm sorry 😞

I haven't had this exact scenario where something was sent back to Ulta, but any time I've received something broken and contacted CS, I've gotten to keep my original points, plus I get points based on the price of the replacement they send, even though it's "free". So...my guess is you'll wind up keeping the points after all 🙂

Beauty break: ID- 17461059

[sarahshter]

Bummed that the last few GWP have been philosophy or perfume.  I have boxes of perfume samples and most perfumes end up giving me migraines or headaches.  Wish I could use them.  Now I'm just wondering if there will be any exciting new products arriving before the end of the coupon expires...

[mwg1]

Couldn't they have thrown in a bag or something?

[m26430]

Bummed by the GWP. I have so much Ralph Lauren Romance from previous freebies -_- 

[itscarin]

@ClassicallyFab Thanks for posting this!  I've been thinking about it, and now is probably the last GWP that will be available before the coupon expires on the 3rd (or 4th, not sure which day it is).  Would you agree with that statement?

I'm wondering what everyone else thinks about this: Is this the last GWP before the coupon expires?  I think it's also safe to say there will not be any multipliers or other perks before the coupon expires.

[NatureGirlSD]

Unless they surprise us like they did with a bag on the afternoon of one of the recent holidays, it's more than likely that was the last one before Sat, Feb 3. Bummed I didn't see today's deal before it was OOS since I have an order ready to go! I just stuck with a 20% Dermstore code expiring today.

[quspork]

It's always so hard to tell. Both of the last two beauty breaks were the same ones they offered this time last year, and last year on Feb 3rd we also got another deluxe sample freebie and a 20pc bag with $60 buy-in. So, it could be it, but since I'm not really a perfume person anyway, I'll wait and see if something else comes along, I think. 

[ClassicallyFab]

@itscarin I’m figuring it probably is the last one. I’m going to place my order today...

[BrwnSugaG]

@ClassicallyFab aww, it just got removed from my cart. hope you got your order in!

[Indy701]

@itscarin It’s so hard to tell with Ulta. It likely is the last one before Feb 3. I going to hold out though since I’m allergic to most perfumes anyway. Maybe they will surprise us.

Extra 10% bump on Ebates if you redeem for an Ulta GC. It’s out in time to use it with the 20%!! 

[Indy701]

@alexasteph  I have the same question as @AudreySB. I don’t see an option to redeem for gift cards. I tried to google redeeming ebates for gift cards but I guess it’s too early for my google skills to be successful. Please help. 

[AudreySB]

Question, is there a way to get this offer if Ebates didn't send you an email about it? I've been an Ebates member for years and was only emailed twice to get a gift card instead of a check. Am I missing something?

[CC3616]

@AudreySB @Indy701 if you go into your account tab, top right it has the my cash back account. The right hand side of the box it says "boost your cash back." I didn't get a gift card e-mail for this cycle (or missed it, also very possible) and I have the GC option there!

[alexasteph]

@AudreySB @Indy701 I'm sorry I didn't see your question until now. Thank you for helping them out @CC3616! When I started receiving the GC redemption emails, I can't remember if I did anything or if they just came unannounced. If my memory serves, the first one came unannounced. I think I was in the same boat as you both, I saw someone post about it here and I wondered how it worked. I got the email about a day later. That was maybe a year ago, and I've been getting the GC option ever since. 

[AudreySB]

@CC3616 thank you so much for your reply. I did sign into my Ebates account and I don't have the "boost your cash back" option. I sent and email to Ebates to ask about it and received this reply:

Thank you for taking the time to write to us. You are able to receive payment by check or PayPal, but the eGift Card payment option is not available for all pay periods. If this option becomes available for future payment dates, we will notify you by email. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance to you.

Awe Shucks!!! Maybe next time.

[CC3616]

Darn! Hopefully soon @AudreySB! Like @alexasteph, I too saw others receiving them before I started getting the offers.

[Indy701]

@AudreySB  Thank you for contacting them. I don’t have the option either.

[Sodayui]

Thanks for the tip.....But I still can't find it (right hand side box??). Could you please post a screen shoot here to show where it is??

Thanks so much!! @CC3616
