Ulta Beauty Coupons & Promo Codes in October 2026
Today's top selection of offers, tested to work


Getting a skincare haul for next to nothing is an amazing feeling, and I've come close! I'm Tyesha, a Coupons.com editor since 2023. I once combined my Rewards points with other deals and walked away with a big discount plus free products on my favorite skincare. Joining the Rewards program is one of my top tips for spending less at Ulta. I thoroughly research every offer on this page myself to make sure everything checks out before you use it. Through hard work and info from the Ulta's team, let my research help you save on your beauty faves.
Ulta Beauty combines affordable and high-end beauty products under one roof. They sell cosmetics, skincare, hair care, fragrances, and salon services. The most common offers we've seen them promote are sales on select products and brands, coupons for 10% to 20% off, coupons for $3.50 off $15, and free gifts or products with select beauty purchases. Review our Editorial Guidelines to learn how we source and verify the offers we share with you here.
Sign up for Ulta's emails to get monthly $10 off coupons with no minimum spend, plus exclusive codes during holidays that save $40-60 on typical orders.
The best offers we get tracked through emails:
Exclusive $10 off coupons sent about once a month
20% off entire purchase during Easter
$20 off $100 coupon for New Years sale
$10 off $50 stacks with 50% off sale items during Black Friday
Most valuable alerts:
"Last day" sale reminders prevent missing 30-50% off events
Early access to 21 Days of Beauty (items drop to $10-20)
Bonus point multipliers (5x points = 25% back in rewards)
The newsletter may not be worth it if you only shop Ulta's annual sales. The email volume isn't worth it for twice-yearly purchases. For monthly shoppers, the $10 coupons alone justify the frequent emails.
Ulta's 60-day return window lets you buy multiple shades or products to test at home, keeping only what works.
Return windows:
Days 1-30: Full refund to original payment
Days 31-60: Store credit only
After 60 days: No returns accepted
You pay return shipping, so batch returns together. Alternatively you can expedite the return process and avoid shipping fees by returning it to an Ulta store.
Mail return process:
1. Keep original box and packing slips
2. Ship to: Ulta Return Center, 925 Belle Lane, Bolingbrook, IL 60490
3. Use trackable shipping (UPS/USPS with insurance)
4. Track via "Order Status" in your account
Refunds process in 30 business days, then 7-10 more days to hit your card. That's up to 40 days total. Store credit arrives faster (10-15 days) and doesn't expire.

Join the free Ulta Beauty Rewards program to get an instant $5 off and earn points for every dollar spent. Unlock more perks as you spend more and climb higher tiers.
Points earning and redemption:
Member (free): 1 point per $1
Platinum ($500 spend/year): 1.25 points per $1
Diamond ($1200 spend/year): 1.5 points per $1
Redemption values:
100 points = $3 off
$250 = $8 off
500 points = $17.50 off
1,000 points = $50 off
2000 points = $125 off
We recommend the rewards program to anyone who shops at Ulta more than once a year. Even if you don't think you'll earn 100 points to redeem for the minimum reward, you'll still benefit from the birthday gift they send members each year.
If you spend more than $500 and move up a tier your benefits grow:
Platinum: $10 birthday coupon, points never expire, exclusive deals, gifts and early access to sales
Diamond: $10 birthday coupon, free shipping on $25 orders, $25 off beauty services, welcome gift worth $20-30
Diamond status makes sense to strive for if you already spend $100+ monthly. The free shipping alone saves $84 yearly with monthly orders. Combined with 1.5x points and perks, Diamond members get an average of 15-20% discounts through the rewards program.
Get 20% off your first Ulta purchase with their credit cards, plus two points for every $1 spent.
Card comparison:
Store Card: 2 points per $1 at Ulta only
Mastercard: 2 points per $1 at Ulta, 1 point per $3 elsewhere, 500 Welcome Bonus Points when you spend $500 outside of Ulta within first 90 days
Both: 20% off first purchase, no annual fee
The Ulta Mastercard's rewards for purchases outside of Ulta are not as good as you could get with another credit card. Earning 1 point per $3 equals just 1% back, half what free 2% cashback cards offer.
We recommend you choose the Ulta Beauty Rewards Credit Card instead if you shop Ulta regularly. You'll get the same 20% off first purchase and 2 points per dollar at Ulta. For non-Ulta purchases, use a standard 2% cashback card that earns double the Ulta Mastercard's rate. This two-card strategy maximizes rewards.
Navigate Ulta's five discount sections to stack savings by combining sales, BOGO deals, and coupons.
The Featured Deals section is the central hub showing all active promotions across makeup, skincare, and hair categories. By going to this section first, you can save time versus checking individual departments. It updates daily and you can often find top brands at 25-40% off. Check Monday and Thursday mornings when new deals typically launch.
In the Sale section, you can browse over 1,000 products marked up to 50% off regular price. Filter by category to find specific needs like skincare, makeup, or body care. You can also sort by ingredients, dermatologist recommended and more.
Buy More Save More features stacking opportunities that compound savings. Some examples of buy more, save more deals we've seen are:
BOGO 50% off
Buy 2 select products Get 1 Free
15% off 2+ select products
Find all the free add-ons worth $10-50 with qualifying purchases in the Gifts with Purchase section. Typical offers: deluxe samples with $40+ order, branded pouches with fragrance purchases, trial sizes with $25+ brand purchase. Once you've added the qualifying items or minimum spend amount to your bag, the free gift options will appear under the items in your cart. You can toggle off the free gift option any time you want to opt out of receiving a certain item.
Ulta features all their active promo codes including the reliable $3.50 off $15 that refreshes monthly on the Coupons page. Sitewide codes can be rare except during major sales. They also feature brand-specific codes that range 10-20% off.
1. Add items to bag

Code restrictions to know:
Most exclude prestige brands (Chanel, Dyson, Charlotte Tilbury)
