1. What Is the Free Ulta Birthday Gift?
The free Ulta birthday gift is a special benefit available to eligible Ulta Beauty Rewards members during their birthday month.
Instead of receiving the same item every year, members can choose from the birthday gifts that are currently available. Gift options may include travel-size or deluxe-sample beauty products from participating beauty brands.
Birthday gifts are available while quantities last, and the available selection can change.
2. Who Qualifies for the Ulta Birthday Freebie?
You need to be an Ulta Beauty Rewards member to receive the birthday benefit. Membership is free.
To be eligible for the birthday gift, make sure:
- Your birthday is entered in your Rewards member profile.
- Your birthday information is added before your birthday month begins.
- You are opted in to eligible Ulta Beauty marketing communications or use the Ulta Beauty mobile app.
Ulta sends the birthday offer through eligible account communications and the mobile app.
Good to Know
Add your birthday to your Rewards account before your birthday month starts. Waiting until your birthday month may cause you to miss the birthday coupon or offer.
3. Do You Need to Buy Anything In Store?
No purchase is required when you redeem an eligible Ulta birthday gift inside an Ulta Beauty store.
Bring the valid birthday coupon code from your birthday email or the Ulta Beauty app and show it to the cashier when redeeming your gift.
Birthday gifts are limited and available while supplies last, and the in-store assortment can differ from the selection shown online.
Birthday Tip
If you want to avoid making a special trip for a gift that has sold out, check your app or contact your local store before visiting.
4. What Birthday Gifts Can You Choose?
Ulta lets eligible members choose from the birthday gifts that are currently available instead of assigning every member the same item.
The selection can include travel-size and deluxe-sample products such as mascara, lip treatments, blush, hair treatments, skin-care products, and other beauty items.
The exact brands and products can rotate, and individual stores may not carry every birthday gift shown online.
Because gifts are offered while supplies last, choosing and redeeming your gift earlier in your birthday month may give you more options.
5. How to Redeem Your Ulta Birthday Gift
You can redeem your birthday gift in an Ulta Beauty store or online, but the requirements are different.
For in-store redemption:
- Open your birthday email or Ulta Beauty app.
- Find your valid birthday gift coupon code.
- Choose an available birthday gift.
- Show the coupon code to the cashier.
No purchase is required when redeeming the birthday gift in store.
For online redemption, sign in to your Ulta Beauty Rewards account during your birthday month and add an available birthday gift to your bag. The gift should apply as free when the qualifying order requirements are met.
6. Is a Purchase Required Online?
Yes. Unlike an in-store birthday gift redemption, online redemption currently requires a qualifying merchandise purchase.
Your online subtotal must be greater than $0, and your shopping bag must include at least one qualifying product that is not a UB Marketplace item. Shipping charges may also apply.
Buy online, pickup in store and curbside pickup birthday-gift redemptions also require a qualifying purchase.
If your main goal is to get the birthday gift without buying anything else, redeeming it inside a participating Ulta Beauty store is the better option under the current terms.
7. What Other Birthday Perks Do Members Get?
The free beauty gift is not the only birthday benefit available through Ulta Beauty Rewards.
Eligible members can also activate 2X points on qualifying purchases during their birthday month.
Platinum and Diamond Rewards members currently receive an additional birthday perk: an extra $10 off eligible purchases in store or online.
The exact birthday offers and terms can change, so check your Ulta Beauty Rewards account when your birthday month begins.
8. How to Make Sure You Do Not Miss Your Birthday Gift
A few simple account checks before your birthday month can help make sure you receive your offer.
- Join Ulta Beauty Rewards before your birthday month.
- Add your correct birthday to your member profile.
- Make sure eligible marketing communications are enabled or use the Ulta Beauty app.
- Check your birthday email and app offers when your birthday month begins.
- Redeem early because birthday gifts are available only while supplies last.
- Review the current terms before making a special trip.
Birthday gift choices, quantities, and redemption terms can change, so always check the current offer displayed in your account.
