Ulta Store Card and Rewards Question

Queen_Etherea — Thu, 12 Sep 2019 16:00:32 GMT

I have an Ulta Store Card that I got earlier this year because I do A LOT of shopping at Ulta. I'm already a diamond member (you have to spend $1,200 in one year) and have been for quite some time. I always take advantage of the 5x the points on items I need (and sometimes want), so I've managed to acquire about 9,500 points, which is equivalent to about $600.

Would I be able to convert these points to a statement credit? I'm thinking no, but it would be amazing if you could.

From what I understand, no you cant. The points you just have to use towards future purchases. I shop this store alot! I think their point system is way better than Sephora's.

Yeah I didn't think so, but thanks!

There rewards are AMAZING! Dude, I have just about $600 saved up right now. You definitely can't get that at Sephora, just those baby sample things that Ulta gives for free when you buy certain brands. I have so many samply products lying around; I should really pile them all in one drawer lol.

I just wish I could have gotten the MasterCard instead of the store card because it gives you 2 points for every $1 whereas the store card gives you 1 point for every $1. They don't upgrade you either, so I'm stuck with this one unless I want to apply for another card.

Man I really want the Ulta card. I too spend a lot at this store. They are always sending me 5X points, excellent coupons, and free GWP mailers. I am just waiting for the next pahse of my rebuilding process to be done (settling 1 more charge off). EQ is my worst report and score, so I'm going to need to get it up significantly to get this card.

Yes, definitely wait! I should have waited until that 30 day late was resolved and removed from my report. EQ was/is my worst as well, and I knew they were going to pull EQ. I may think about re-applying in the next couple of years to see if I can get the MasterCard version.
