If you're a beauty and makeup lover that spends more than $100 on pretty things a year, the Ulta's Ultamate Rewards program can save you money with points and exclusive member deals. Heck, it might help even sporadic Ulta shoppers.
The higher the number of Ulta rewards points, the more money you earn — with double points earned in your birthday month:
With Ultamate Rewards, you earn points for every purchase made at Ulta, which you can redeem for discounts later on.
Ultamate Rewards are earned in three tiers — Members, Platinum and Diamond. And the number of points you earn per dollar depends on which tier you're in.
Points earned per dollar | 1 | 1.25 | 1.5 |
Free birthday gift | Yes | Yes — plus a $10 coupon | Yes — plus a $10 coupon |
Free shipping on orders of $25 or more | No | No | Yes |
Yearly $25 beauty service rewards card | No | No | Yes |
Ultamate Rewards members receive up to 15 exclusive magazines a year, along with offers worth up to $15 a year. Ultamate Rewards points for Members expire at the end of the quarter, 12 months after you earned them. Platinum and Diamond points never expire.
Shop at Ulta online or in store to rack up points on any beauty product or service. You won’t earn points on gift cards, taxes and shipping fees.
We love that you can combine Ultamate Rewards points with other deals and discounts to fund a purchase. For instance, combine that $3 off with a discounted item from Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty Sale.
Log in to your Ulta account online or through the Ulta Beauty app to track your points. If you pay using an Ulta credit card, your points balance is also at the bottom of your receipt and in your monthly statements.
Sign up for an Ulta Rewards Mastercard to earn an extra point for every dollar spent. There's no annual fee, and you'll get 20% off your first purchase and even earn a 500-point bonus if you spend $500 in the first 90 days after approval.
Ulta tracks your shopping habits via cookies to tailor your shopping experience. And if you sign up for Ultamate Rewards, you'll get personalized discounts and deals based on this information. This is standard practice for most online retailers.
Yes — unless you opt out. But this applies to anyone shopping on Ulta's site, not just Ultamate Rewards members.

We like that Ultamate Rewards is free, so there are few downsides to joining. If the thought of giving away your email and signing up for yet another program isn't for you, consider browsing deals and discounts that don't require a membership to save money when shopping in the meantime.
