Earning Ulta Rewards points
There's two primary ways to earn Ulta Rewards points: shopping in-store and online with Ulta and using Ulta credit cards.
Earning points shopping with Ulta
Ulta Rewards members will earn between 1 and 1.5 points per $1 spent on all products and services at Ulta Beauty Stores in-store and online (except gift cards). The amount of points you earn will depend on your membership level in the Ulta Rewards program.
| Membership Level | Points earned per $1 spent |
|---|---|
| Member | 1 Point |
| Platinum | 1.25 Points |
| Diamond | 1.5 Points |
Member
You will become an Ulta Member when you sign up for an Ultamate Rewards account. This will earn you 1 point per $1 spent in-store and online with Ulta.
It is free to sign up for an Ultamate Rewards account, so I recommend doing so if you plan on making a purchase with Ulta.
Platinum Member
Ulta Platinum membership is earned after spending $500 per year in-store or online with Ulta. As a Platinum member, you will earn 1.25 points per $1 spent with Ulta.
Diamond Member
Ulta Diamond membership is earned after spending $1,200 per year in-store or online with Ulta. As a Diamond member, you will earn 1.5 points per $1 spent with Ulta.
Earn points using Ulta credit cards
Ultamate Rewards members can earn additional Ulta Rewards points using the Ulta Rewards Mastercard and Ulta Rewards Credit Card.
Purchases made with either card, in-store or online, with Ulta will earn you 1 additional Ulta Rewards point per $1 spent. This means you would earn a total of 2 points per $1 spent as an Ulta member, 2.25 points per $1 spent as an Ulta Platinum member, and 2.5 points per $1 spent as an Ulta Diamond member.
While the Ulta Rewards Credit Card can only be used with Ulta, the Ulta Rewards Mastercard can be used for purchases worldwide, anywhere Mastercard is accepted. Non-Ulta purchases will earn you 1 Ulta Rewards Point for every $3 spent outside of Ulta Beauty.
Both Ulta credit cards have no annual fee, so you're looking at an excellent increase in value when using these cards in combination with your Ultamate Rewards account. Just be sure to pay off your balance in full every statement to make either card worth having otherwise the interest will eat away at your rewards.

How to redeem Ulta points
Ulta Rewards Points can be redeemed in any combination of the following point and increments:
- 100 Points = $3 Off
- 250 Points = $8 Off
- 500 Points = $17.50 Off
- 750 Points = $30 Off
- 1,000 Points = $50 Off
- 2,000 Points = $125 Off
You cannot redeem your points outside of those increments. So if you had a $15 Ulta bill, you could redeem:
- 250 Points for $8 off
- another 100 Points for an additional $3 off
- and another 100 Points for an additional $3 off
This would take $14 off your bill and you'll end up redeeming 450 Points. This particular redemption would give your points a value of 3.1 cents each (14 divided by 450).
The best way to maximize your value would be to save up for the higher redemptions, but this is of course personal preference. You'll have to figure out if you're just looking to get your price down as low as possible or if you're looking to maximize the value of the program.
Redeeming Points In-Store
When you redeem points in store, you'll want to let the cashier know in advance before your purchase. You can show them your Ultamate Rewards card or some other type of valid identification in which the store associate can determine your account info.
Redeeming Points Online
When redeeming online, you'll want to make sure you're logged into your Ultamate Rewards account. You'll be able to redeem your points at checkout on any eligible items you have in your cart.
Remember that you cannot use points towards sales tax and shipping and handling charges.
Ulta Rewards Points Expiration
Ulta Rewards Points will expire at the end of the calendar quarter following the twelve month anniversary of the date you earned the points. These quarter dates are:
- March 31
- June 30
- September 30
- December 31
So basically in order to see when your points expire, you'll add a year to the date you earned them and then round up to one of the quarter dates listed above.
For example, if you earned points on January 20, 2022, they would expire the following year on the end of that quarter which would be March 31, 2023.
Points do not expire for Ulta Members that have Platinum or Diamond status.
