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 Thanks for clarifying!  🙂

[NatureGirlSD]

@ohheyitscindyk @RGbrown Does Ulta also do birthday month multipliers? (Hope hope wish wish, since I'm late August!)

[Ispend2much6]

@NatureGirlSD  They sure do!  I had the best birthday month of my life this year because of all the other multipliers offered on top of the birthday 10x. 🙂

[NatureGirlSD]

I'm really excited since I'm cutting back on new eye palettes & lippies to focus on skincare, which is pricier now that I've fallen in love with a stupid Algenist Genius moisturizer. @Ispend2much6

[Ispend2much6]

@NatureGirlSD  There's a lot of Algenist items that will be discounted for the Weekly Wow beginning tomorrow!

[NatureGirlSD]

Noooooooooo! I just talked myself out of it!!!! LOL @Ispend2much6

[RGbrown]

@NatureGirlSDUnidentified

See, this is exactly why I try to skip the pricy samples 😂

I adore their Genius Eye Cream, but can't bring myself to spend $74 on it. Thankfully I didn't like their Eye Renewal Balm much at all (or maybe I should be sad about that, since I seem to get way more samples of it lol)

[NatureGirlSD]

Totally! I always pass on Sephora samples of skincare I'm not willing to pay for. I tried the Algenist on a whim since I've tried a few of their samples in the past that I reacted to, like that eye balm... but this was like magic. Fortunately, I convinced myself last night that my skin looked pretty parched after using it, so I'm giving it one more shot before I'm back to EltaMD for $28.  😄  @RGbrown

[Ispend2much6]

@NatureGirlSD  I've only tried the eye cream, and it's pretty good.

[Alicehoopz]

Oh I get that! Algenist's genius line is incredible. Have you tried the serum? (Oh no I hope I'm not influencing you in a bad way lol!)

[Ispend2much6]

@NatureGirlSD  Don't feel badly; most of us have some sort of that stupidity in our lives. 🙂

[NatureGirlSD]

Ha, thank you! I've been all about spending on Vitamin C serums & retinol products and using solid, fairly inexpensive moisturizers with short ingredient lists, so this $112 Algenist freaks me out. I mainly love it because it's just like covering my face with vanilla mousse, which makes it an even worse splurge. :-)) (It's 2oz, but STILL.) @Ispend2much6

[RGbrown]

@NatureGirlSDUnidentified

It should be 2x all month iirc 😁

[NatureGirlSD]

@RGbrownSWEET! I just stockpiled 2000 points and tightened my budget, so it's perfect timing. 😄

[Danzie89]

Thank you!

[stillpooh]

I don’t know, but I do know that the last two years, 10x points only applied to a limited number of items. It was disappointing.

[mwg1]

Yeah there were a couple things I held off buying during the 20% sale right before because they'd been included in Platinum Appreciation the previous year and then they weren't in 2017. I won't make the same mistake this year.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Danzie89 I think there was some mention about this on the thread a few weeks ago...you can page through if you want.  I remember reading it would be 5x on the thread, but I could be sorely mistaken - it  may very well be 10x like you said.  If that's the case, then I will definitely be buying some stuff!  I just stocked up with the 5x multiplier and now I feel like a fool if I mis-remember about the Platinum day in August!  

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Danzie89 Looks like last year was 10x...now I'm kicking myself!

[Danzie89]

I hope someone can provide some spoilers soon so we know what to expect. Thanks for everyone’s help!
