How to apply an Ulta coupon code

Applying your Ulta promo code properly to your order is essential if you want to save. The first thing to do is add the items you want to purchase into your shopping bag. Once added, click to view the bag and check that all items are in place. On the right is the order summary and below the total is a box for the coupon code. Click on the + to open the box and this is where the code will be added. Copy the chosen Ulta promo code and then paste it into the box.

Make sure it has been applied to the order and the discount has been verified and added to the total before making the payment. Should there be issues, some of the top tips to ensure the code is added correctly include refreshing the cart, removing trailing spaces, and using one code at a time. Confirm the account or region and check if there are item-level exclusions before adding the code to avoid disappointments.

Common errors & quick fixes

While adding a code is easy, there are some common errors that tend to occur, preventing these codes from being added easily. For example if the code isn't working, check the product eligibility as you may find the gifts, prestige or limited items, or even certain categories are excluded from the promotion. Other discounts are time-boxed and maybe seasonal or weekly, which will also impact whether or not it will work. Most codes can only be applied as one per order so check which code gives the highest savings and use that as the priority.

Some offers are also only available online, or in the app, so make sure the correct channel is used before applying it to the order. Make sure all thresholds are met such as minimum spend requirements for claiming and include things like free gifts or free shipping to ensure the code will work. Finally, when using gift cards, there are usually no discounts for making these purchases.

Where to find more Ulta discount codes

There are a variety of places to find Ulta deals. For one, head to the Ulta offers and sales pages to find out what products have undergone auto markdowns where no code is needed. Sign up to the Ulta newsletter or email as this is where you will get the latest code drops and early access to sales and other deals. Further to this, signing up to Ultamate Rewards means earning points which can be converted into money off later on. There are also birthday perks, and member-only promos to enjoy for additional savings. Finally, getting the Ulta app means access to app-exclusive offers, which can help to make major savings.

Save more without codes

Discounts can also be obtained without the need for a code as well. For example, Ulta offers free gifts with purchase on some items. These are usually linked to a brand or can be storewide. The weekly gifts are typically associated with specific tiers so there are eligibility thresholds that apply. Throughout the year, Ulta participates in various event promotions as well. These include things like Black Friday or other seasonal events. The specific percentage that can be taken off is always listed, though terms will vary. Finally, Ulta also has different BOGO or auto-applied deals in place. These are added automatically at the checkout without the need of a code. Other reward point redemption offers or picking up products rather than having them delivered all go toward saving money.

Ultamate Rewards & tiered perks

For anyone who plans on shopping at Ulta regularly, the Ultamate Rewards is a good way to make regular, consistent savings. Joining this program means the ability to earn points on every purchase. These mount up over time and are converted to real money off. Other perks include point multipliers which can be really helpful for further money off later on. Depending on the tier, there are different perks available. Tier-exclusive gifts include weekly gifts for those in the top tiers. However, there are always thresholds and these need to be carefully checked. Tier, spend total, and item eligibility all govern the benefits that are applied, so shoppers need to check the cart terms each time a purchase is made.

App & text signup offers

Ulta periodically offers one-time codes via text signup. This can include things like time-limited percent-off which is usually awarded after signing up. There are also app-exclusive promos and alerts though these are differ and are sometimes dependent on availability, with varying durations and exclusions applied. Each campaign is different, so it's always important to read the fine print and apply the code via the correct channel (on the app or via the browser), to ensure the best outcome.

Ulta credit card signup savings

The company also offers an Ulta Beauty Rewards Credit card. This has standard credit approval and promotion terms. Applying for this card does result in higher, conditional savings and Ulta has, in the past, offered a first-purchase percent-off when using the card for the first time. However, it's always important to compare the benefit vs a standalone code before applying for and using a store credit card.

---

Cashback portals & how to combine

It's possible to get cashback via third-party rewards too, though this needs to be done carefully. Cashback rates fluctuate by portal and may not be applicable to some of the beauty categories found on Ulta. With cashback, usually one code can be applied and then the sale needs to be completed. Sometimes, if a code is applied that can't be used, then the portal will send a notification of this fact. Terms and eligibility always vary by item.

---

Buy online, pick up in store

As mentioned, there are differences when it comes to the channels available and the final success of the code's inclusion to the order. Some are online only, some allow pickup orders for same-day or curbside, and others are in-store only. Shoppers need to apply the code in the right way on the correct platform. For pickup-eligible badges and minimums such as free gifts and free shipping, the subtotal still needs to be applied.

FAQ

Can I stack an Ulta promo code with automatic discounts or points?

Generally, no, because it's only one code per order. As such, it's sensible to check out which code actually offers the biggest savings and apply that one.

Are app-only codes different from site codes?

Yes, on occasion there are app-only codes. These need to be added only via the app, though these are always clearly marked to show that they are app-only options.

Do codes work on fragrance or prestige items?

Many codes exclude fragrance and prestige items, so it's essential to check the terms and conditions. Verify this within the cart and if the code is not applicable, look for auto promos instead.

Is there an Ulta free shipping code?

No there is no need for a free shipping code as reaching the minimum $35 spend results in free delivery.

Do promo codes work on gift cards?

No, promo codes cannot be used on gift cards. Remove the gift card from the cart to apply a code to other merchandise.

Can I use a code on a pickup order?

Yes, though this depends on the code. Terms will clarify whether BOPIS qualifies.

Any “first-order” or sign-up discounts?

Yes, there are some first-order discounts such as signing up for texts and app discounts, as well as for the credit card and first purchase. Always check the terms though.

How do seasonal events affect codes?

Yes, big events such as early Black Friday deals may offer as much as 50% off without the use of a code. Compare the codes though to check which brings the bigger discount.

Returns on discounted items—will I lose the offer?

Typically, returns usually prorate the discount so keep the order emails and expect to see an adjustment in savings and points afterwards.
