Do Ulta Points Expire in 2024? (All You Need to Know)
Ulta Beauty rewards members often spend time accumulating points through purchases, only to allow them to inadvertently expire. In fact, 73% of members let at least some points expire each year, missing out on substantial savings. But armed with the right knowledge, you can avoid falling into this common pitfall.
When Exactly Do Ulta Points Expire?
Ulta non-elite member points follow this expiration timeline:
- Expire after 1 year (at the end of the next calendar quarter)
- For example, points earned January 20th, 2023 expire March 31st, 2024
However, many members think points last for one full year from the expire date rather than earn date. This common misconception causes nearly 60% of Ulta point expirations.
To demonstrate, here is a detailed expiration example for non-elite members:
| Points Earned Date | Expiration Date |
|---|---|
| January 20th, 2023 | March 31st, 2024 |
Platinum and Diamond loyalty tiers have no point expiration.
