Do You Take Advantage of Ulta’s Point Multipliers?

Do You Take Advantage of Ulta's Point Multipliers?

Hello friends! Today I wanted to ask you, do you take advantage of Ulta’s point multipliers? When I’m debating a large purchase from Ulta, or replenishing my staples, I always try to time it so that I’m making a large purchase during one of Ulta‘s 21 days of beauty or during a beauty event so that I get the biggest bang for my buck and am able to take advantage of Ulta’s point multipliers.

Bonus Offers

My Ulta Bonus Points Offers

Right now, for example, Ulta has a 3x point multiplier on all hair products, tools and services from now until June 12. I’ve also got a 2x point multiplier from it being my birthday month. That’s right, it’s Gemini season. Ulta has 3x point multiplier on participating Sensitive Skin purchases, 5x on Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Toilette or Light Blue Forever Fragrance Crush, and 5x points on Ralph Lauren purchases. If you’ve been waiting to make a purchase from one of these categories, right now will let you get the most out of taking advantage of Ulta’s point multipliers.

Diamond Offers, One Day Only

Ulta Diamond Offers

Ulta sends out a lot of emails, but one of the emails I received today was on bonuses for Platinum and Diamond members, which included a sampler bag worth $160. I made sure to add that to my cart. While I’m sure I won’t use everything in it, I will give away whatever I don’t use to friends.

If you’re signed up for these emails, you may see other sampler bags you’re interested in that you can add to your order. If you’re not signed up for these emails, you can still get the weekly Ulta coupon on their coupon page. It’s usually a $3.50 off coupon with a minimum order of $15 and it usually has restrictions on what qualifies. I’m signed up for the Ulta emails and like the occasional 20% off coupons they sometimes send out. I find these emails helpful for me to take advantage of Ulta’s points multipliers.

Free Gifts

Free Gifts from Ulta

Before I place an Ulta order these days, I always like to check the Gifts With Purchase (GWP) page to see if there’s anything there I’m interested in. If I see anything that I might like for myself or to gift to someone else, I’ll be sure to add those qualifying products to my cart as well to better take advantage of Ulta’s point multipliers. You can check the Buy More Save More page for more deals, too.  Or just go straight to the Sales page.

My Birthday Haul

My Birthday Haul

I was waiting for Ulta to have another hair event so that I could stock up on my Joico K-Pak, since I’m getting low. I also threw in a volumizing mousse because I need to find something to help my stick straight locks hold a heatless curl.

I’m getting low on my body SPF and picked up two bottles of the Coola SPF 50 spray, which qualified me for the Ulta towel + backpack.

I’m currently addicted to StriVectin and PCA Skin Skin Care brands. I’ve been rotating through different serums and received a sample of the StriVectin Wrinkle Recode Line Transforming Melting Serum and loved it, so decided to order a full size. This came with a 3 piece gift set from StriVectin. I also qualified for the Platinum & Diamond 33 Piece Beauty Bag since my purchase was over $160.

I ordered the Garnier Micellar water because I really like micellar waters and am out. I wanted to give Garnier a try since they went cruelty-free.

For my birthday order, I spent $237 and earned a total of 737 points. My current points value of 4500 is worth about $267.50 from Ulta. This is one of the biggest reasons I prioritize shopping at Ulta over Sephora, because every dollar spent is worth points that actually mean something. Unlike my Sephora points that are worthless.

So tell me, Do You Take Advantage of Ulta’s Point Multipliers? Do you ever shop for GWP at Ulta? Let me know!

  1. This is one seriously smart haul! I get so many emails from them, but I don’t really take advantage of their point multipliers. This is such a good way to save a lot, and to get all sorts of extras! Well done, Courtney!

  2. Dang those are some serious savings! I actually don’t shop at Ulta all that often anymore because I had massive issues with their shipping and several orders getting completely destroyed, but maybe it’s worth revisiting. It’s been a while so maybe they don’t just throw your products all in a giant box without any padding anymore 🙂

  3. Well done! I did last year when I bought my Dyson hair dryer at Ulta. I made out like a bandit on that purchase. Sadly, this year, I just don’t need anything. I am hoping some stuff that I can’t resist will come out before the end of the year so I can keep my platinum status.

  4. I’m terrible about this. I rarely buy anything especially in the last 2 years. When I see how you maximized your purchase it makes me think again about my shopping habits. When I get items like you did with the extra Ulta I will donate those to charity if I don’t plan on using them, especially around the winter holidays.

  5. You shop smart! I haven’t paid attention much to the points or multipliers. I did notice when Sephora offered 20% off tints so I restocked on ilia because of that. But honestly, lately I just buy what I need but try to use rakuten or something to get a discount or SOMETHING rewarding in one way or another! I see all the emails…but I think I have very bad memory and just buy when I need/want. I need to pay attention more….especially because I have a few things in my carts and maybe I can get an even better deal somehow
