Stack savings in calculator →🛒Shopping Tips
- ✓At Ulta Beauty, 21 Days of Beauty (spring: March-April, fall: October): each day features a specific prestige brand at 50% off. The daily deals are announced the night before — set an alarm and shop the first morning because popular items (Charlotte Tilbury, Tatcha, Dyson) sell out within hours.
- ✓Ulta Beauty carries mass AND prestige brands — you can compare CeraVe ($18) and Tatcha ($88) moisturizers side by side at the same store and earn Ultamate points on both.
- ✓Target has 'Ulta Beauty at Target' shop-in-shop sections that count toward your Ultamate Rewards points total — every purchase in a Target Ulta section earns points on your existing Ulta account.
- ✓When shopping Ulta Beauty, ultamate Rewards points expire after 12 months of account inactivity — make at least one purchase per year to keep your balance active.
- ✓For Ulta Beauty orders, the Ulta Birthday Gift (free, available during your birthday month with any purchase or online with shipping) is a choose-your-own gift from 2-3 options — check the options before your birthday month since the selection varies by year.
⚡Stacking Tips
- ✓At Ulta Beauty, ulta credit card 5% + Ultamate Rewards points + 21 Days of Beauty 50% = maximum savings on prestige beauty. 50% off prestige skincare plus 5% card cashback = effectively 52.5% off total.
- ✓Portal cashback on Ulta.com (Rakuten, TopCashback) stacks with Ultamate Rewards points and credit card earnings simultaneously.
- ✓Gift card strategy: buy Ulta gift cards through a cashback portal or grocery-bonus card, then use in-store during 21 Days of Beauty for an additional savings layer.
- ✓Ultamate Diamond status (1.5x points) + portal cashback + credit card 5% = the strongest loyalty stack for high-spend beauty shoppers.

The 21 Days of Beauty semi-annual event (spring in March/April, fall in October) features a different brand at 50% off each day — these are full-size prestige products and frequently sell out within hours.
