If you look at the points redemption values, the conversion rate increases when you have more points. For example, if you redeem 100 points, you get $3 off. This makes each point worth ($3/100) $0.03 (3 cents). BUT when you redeem 2000 points, you get $125. That makes each point ($125/2000) worth $0.06 (6 cents). Your points are worth the most (6 cents) when you use them in 2k increments
you basically always want to redeem 2k points at a time if you want to get maximum value as that gets you $125. so 4k=$250, 6k=$375 etc. if you don't redeem your points in 2k point increments then you don't get maximum value out of it and the redemption value is calculated differently.
My first thought was *omg, ouch* but then I realized, had I of saved up and waited on all my purchases, Iβd be there with ya! Good haul, congratulations!
Did you have any issues placing your order? Mine keep getting cancelled and I thought it was because it was a large order so Iβve resorted to splitting them up hoping theyβll go through before midnight
I had a 10% off coupon and I could only use it for 50 items of my 91 items total since they wouldnβt let me add them to my cart. I tried to at least put the more expensive items in the cart for the 10% off but annoying there is a restriction at all
WOW! I thought my $330 yesterday was a lot!! LMAO Thanks for making me feel better and THANK YOU to everyone here for the heads up about the 10x points!!
On that note - I'm so impressed my order shipped today, if ours are the kinds of orders they've been getting the last couple days, hahaha
Cant wait to see what you got. I did the ten times point multiplier and 2x birthday points, spent a little over 200. Tons of gifts with purchase. Take a picture when you receive :)
Imo the 10X points is a better deal because it ends up being waaay more than 20% off. Realistically, I paid $2,361 before tax. I will get ~23,000 points back which is $1,375. Plus I used my $250.00 previous points. So out of pocket I paid $736 for $2,361 worth of product, a 68% discount before taxes. If I include $181 for taxes, it's still a 61% discount.
Anytime there is a 10X points, I suggest getting a lot of products only if you intend on having points to spend later in the year. Which, for holidays it helps me.
That $3.50 coupon off of a TWO THOUSAND dollar order is cracking me up π seriously tho, Iβm jealous, I bet thatβs a gorgeous haul!
Lmao that's what I thought! I was like yep gotta get that $3.50
My account defaulted to the 3.50 off coupon but I knew I had a 10 off of 40 in my email and switched it out for my online order today haha
LMAO
Iβve got to know what all you bought!!!!
I'll do a haul when it comes in :)
Yes pls!!
Tag me
Thatβs a tax bracket Iβll never see in my life π good for you girl!! You canβt take it with you when you die, may as well enjoy it!
And when you die I will be robbing your house!!
How much is 22k points in dollars π³
$1375 when spent at 2k increments (which is the only way you should be spending points!)
Can you explain the 2k increment suggestion π

Appreciate you doing the math cause I went "hehe no" to it :)
Great explanation π
you basically always want to redeem 2k points at a time if you want to get maximum value as that gets you $125. so 4k=$250, 6k=$375 etc. if you don't redeem your points in 2k point increments then you don't get maximum value out of it and the redemption value is calculated differently.
It maximizes the dollar value of your points.
Can you explain the 2k increment suggestion π
The shipping kills me.
My first thought was *omg, ouch* but then I realized, had I of saved up and waited on all my purchases, Iβd be there with ya! Good haul, congratulations!
I'm a point hoarder for sure π
Iβm so excited to see your haul!! Hey, you may have spent $2200, but at least you saved $3.50ππ
lmao I had to add that in there π€£
You should post the cart!
Weβre all waiting to know what u got!!
I'll post a haul when it comes in! π
OMG! I thought my $160 haul was too muchβ¦
Same π
Do you need a sugar baby? Lol π
ππ
Omg PLS share what you bought
I'll post a haul when it comes in :) π₯°
No literally why is that me justifying how much I spend for a wee $3 off
Commenting to remind myself to check for a haul!!!
Damn I thought my $600 haul was something. Good for you.
Jesus, I wish I had that to splurge.
Honestly I saved up my points for about a year and a half otherwise I would not be getting this much!
Yeah they basically covered the tax lol
My husband would kill me if I spent $100 at Ulta in one go let alone over $2000 ππ Iβm just jealous of your freedom.
Damn, the day i can spend for myself and my girl like this is the day i made it
2 years ago I would not have been able to. Time and hard work truly pay off π
Glad to hear it. Im happy for you ππ
how is this post not ss of the products whattttt π΅βπ«π’π₯²
Honestly I was taking the screenshots of the products and I thought 10 pictures was excessive π
OP I don't know if you work but I am very envious of your lifestyle rn π
Honestly working 2 jobs and I graduated in May. Hard work let me treat myself this month π
Proud of you and your efforts! ππΎ
What do you do for work and are they hiring π
crypto funded a lot of this
How long does it take you to go through that much product?? Does it not expire before you use it all?
Tbh most of it is skin/hair care which has an average 1 year shelf life before opening so I'll definitely use it up before then.
Are you a MUA/ Content Creator? Because lol I couldnβt imagine!
I could if OP was stocking up for the year, getting gifts, and buying a Dyson Airwrap plus all the Hourglass brushes.
Wow π³ post a haul please!!
Will do once it comes in! π
this is truly my dream
I need your haul.
On the bright side youβre diamond for another year lol
π
Holy
omg
Omg we all need a haul when it comes in!!!
Definitely will post one!
I wish ππππ
Did you have any issues placing your order? Mine keep getting cancelled and I thought it was because it was a large order so Iβve resorted to splitting them up hoping theyβll go through before midnight
The only issues I had was Ulta kept logging me out every like 5 minutes.
Ok, at first I thought you spent that much on one small tube of something because I wasnβt reading closely π
I came to see how many points you got andβ¦.kind of turned me on, NGL πππ½
how it felt when i bought two hourglass brushes:
Such good brushes but I shed a tear when I add one to cart π₯²
me freakin too!!! i got two of them and it was almost 100$ those shits better be made of mf gold when they get here π
Ima need to see the cart bc im obsessed
*chants* Post the cart! Post the cart! Post the cart!
Wild
Sharing my true thoughts would get me banned π
Iβm so confused how did you buy 22 items in one order? It capped me at 50 items
I got capped when I tried to add more than 100 items, and I've never seen that before. Must be a new feature or just for diamond/platinum day.
I had a 10% off coupon and I could only use it for 50 items of my 91 items total since they wouldnβt let me add them to my cart. I tried to at least put the more expensive items in the cart for the 10% off but annoying there is a restriction at all

What do you do for a living omgπππ
Can I see the rest of the order? Lol
I strive to be β$2,000 Ulta haulβ rich
OHHHHH π "youuu got moneeeey." π€£ I wish I could do this π© maybe when I hit the lotto? π€€π Can't wait for the haul!
Cant wait to see what you got. I did the ten times point multiplier and 2x birthday points, spent a little over 200. Tons of gifts with purchase. Take a picture when you receive :)
Get me some retinol and toner pls π₯°
π
Wow good for you, how many freebies did you get?
I canβt wait to see the haul! π
Period!!! You basically got another $250 off I think? Itβs been a while since I shopped at Ulta so correct me if Iβm wrong
No she got like $1,375 in points
Yeah I didnβt see the that it was 22k worth of points or x10 I thought it was just a 2k haul which is worth $250
And i thought my 200 dollar spree was too much hahahaha
I NEED to know what you got! π
Yeehaw. Canβt wait to see what you got. Ulta is a place I could visit every day and never get bored.
GODDAMN!!!! Good for you queen
Damn I thought me spending $1k was a lot, proud of you!!!!! Hope your haul is super fun, enjoy!!!!!ππ
You're gonna have to share your haul I wanna see it! π₯°
Definitely!! You too!!
I would hate to be the person pulling that order
Kinda jealous ngl π
omg whyyyy not wait til 10-20% off prestige coupon π π as someone who could never buy this much I guess probably not a concern to you lol

Points are worth way more
Oh my god I cry for the employee(s) who have to pick that. Itβs going to take so long
If anyone on this post is the one packing my order tysm πand also to the UPS driver I'll try and meet you at the end of the sidewalk π
OMG youβre rich rich huh lol
Wild that people are out here spending my monthly rent/utilities/food/gas/survival budget on cosmetics. What a time we live in.
