Sign up for Ulta Rewards, this is imperative if you are a beauty lover and/or a Ulta shopper. You will save and get rewarded for being a savvy shopper. There are so many benefits to joining their rewards program but my favorite is that for your birthday you will get  2x the reward points, a premium sample of  product. The product offering  changes based on your birthday month and if you make it to platinum level you will get an additional $10 off of anything in the store. The points system is very easy to understand- see for yourself. You earn 1 point for every dollar you spend but if you are platinum or an Ulta credit card holder you earn points faster. Once you have enough points you can redeem them at checkout instore or online. You can also continue to save them too. For TSA platinum members the points don’t expire but for non platinum, I believe the points are only good for 1 year.

Additionally,sign up for emails and follow on social media and  look at flyers for additional freebies, coupons, and deals plus to ensure you are maximizing your shopping  be sure to pick up a few tips and tricks from me:

• Checkout clearance online and in store- you will be amazed at what you find.
• Shop the  21 days event 2x per year and often these items will ship free with no minimum or have a really low minimum on top of the major markdown on Ulta most coveted items.
• Check out the bonus reward offers- with these offers you can earn additional points for shopping certain specific time frames or for specific products.
• Always check your emails from Ulta, usually on Sunday you will get an new coupon for $3.50 of $15 or 20% off 1 item  and new bonus point offers. Please note that most of these coupons are for non prestiage brands.
• Occasionally  like 2-3x a year you will receive a 20% coupon that can be used on prestige brands.

Perks to shopping in store

• If you get services performed at the Salon you will earn points, plus they will often times run rewards for salon. Back in January I had a blowout and earned 5x the points.
• If you are shopping for pharmacy  brands like L’oreal or Pantene you can stack Ulta coupons and manufacturer coupons.
• Access to In store only product samples- often times you will get an email that states free sample in store only with any purchase. Often times these are premium samples.

Perks to shopping online

• Be on the lookout for Beauty Break emails-Beauty break Can happen any day of week so be on the look out for am email but usually I see them on Wednesday  or Friday from 10 am central to 2pm. You can get free products sample for free and it’s usually several items or a kit.
•  Free samples choice at checkout.
• The free shipping is set at $50 but they will generally lower it to  $35 or even $25 throughout the year.

Buying online is a particularity great deal, you can try with Shoppok.

*The only negative to shopping online is you only have the option to enter 1 coupon code at checkout.

Whether if you like to shop in store or online with FIfth Third there are some great benefits to doing so at Ulta! If  you join the Ulta Rewards today you will get a coupon for $ 10 off your next purchase!
