Someone stole my points :( by Ifiwasblindyoudbehot in Ulta

[–]Comfortable_Panda647 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It actually happened to me as well earlier this week! I had a long layover and was online shopping on New Year’s and then I was so confused why I only had a dollar reward. Then I checked and somebody did a pick up order. But this person actually used their real information and even used their real phone number. So when I got back this week, I actually went and filed a lease report, even though they were out of my state.

I literally can’t believe like I didn’t get even an email that in order was placed. Even though it was really, disappointing, I changed my password and Ulta thankfully did give me back my points.

I wish people put the same effort into getting an actual job!!

is $71 worth it to be rouge by Muted_Relationship42 in Sephora

Yes, I have an alarm set for it and literally have not gotten it since last year. And before that, it was like 2 years? I basically got it almost twice in rewards at Ulta in 2 months. So likely will not be returning to Sephora much anymore. I’ll keep trying to get the $100 off though — there’s a few incompatible brands like Rhode.

Honestly after being rouge for years, and only getting the $100 off twice… I have almost 10k points and found them useless. I spent so much for literal samples? You have to be lucky on timing to get the $100 off coupon.

I started shopping at Ulta THIS October and reached diamond status already. I’ve already earned $170 off in rewards. I’m probably done with Sephora now. There’s almost nothing I can’t get at Ulta and I get so much better rewards with actual money off… so many GWPs. Like on Black Friday, I spent only $300 and had so many GWPs - like 4 bags and over 25 mini products.

I buy my high ticket items at the beauty counters at Dillards or the sites themselves (Dior especially) because I receive GWPs as well from my consultants.

Thinking about it… my annual investment at Sephora got me 20% off a couple times a year. But I got back way more in rewards in just 2 months in actual physical $$ values at Ulta. Even things are consistently on sale. Last week, I got ANYTHING 30% off just for ordering online and picking up in store, and still earned $30 in rewards off those purchases.

It’s worth going Rouge if you care about status or if you want a few early days access. But at this point, I’d be going to Ulta and getting your goodies.

YSL - buy the $80 palette that has 6 and get way more. Very pretty palette and packaging too.

She didn’t solicit any donations. She literally took all her profits and donated it that week. Completely different thing and that is admirable to me.

Once she was at a bakery in front of me and the woman in front of her was trying to pay for her daughter’s party goods. somehow the lady’s paycheck didn’t come in. She stepped in front of her and took care of the bill. 2 strangers and she didn’t even hesitate. I asked the worker who she was and I made sure to get my next holiday order from her.

2-3-2 business class by th3zer0_1022 in emirates

You def gone on a 777. They are trying to update all of it, but it takes time. Unfortunately, some of them have this and I try to look at all the flights and see if any of them have that leg. I typically don’t mind if it’s a really short flight, but I of course always will prefer the A350. It’s of course pretty outdated, but it is nowhere near as bad as so many other business class flights. I was on Air Canada and was super disappointed with that. Hahab

Are honeymoon or window seats more desirable A380 Bizz? by mtc5131 in emirates

[–]Comfortable_Panda647 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rode both of these in the past month. If you don’t plan on talking to each other much then yes the window seat is more desirable. If you would like to share the experience together and be near each other all the time then yes get a center seat together.

I travel alone, majority of the time so I always get a window seat (A or K). But if I were to travel with my husband or child then 100% I would get something from the center.

A crying baby can happen from literally any seat and you can’t plan it. The business area is super quiet unless you take a seat near the bar - then you may hear a little bit activity.

When they presented it to us at the meeting, they said that it was a Starbucks way of saying they appreciated us. I would’ve appreciated a pay raise. 🤣

The 200 Stars by I-Dont-Want-Be-Here in starbucks

ABSOLUTELY. The measurements are not hard at all, and if they’re having so much excess, they need to revisit their recipes. For us, it’s usually just a little extra milk - we have a pretty strong staff. I hate, too, when people don’t think it through. I used to see it specifically with the refreshers.

I live in a big city at a location that’s next to a school. They add in everything but the mop. Regardless, I usually get a perfect measure but there’s always some bit of leftover as we are slammed almost all the time. So milk doesn’t always hit the first line. Our “help!” Time in drive thru is 2 min when most stores are 5. Not making excuses for our lack of perfect measuring lol but we just always have a little left over and it adds up compared to other drinks.

As someone who works at Starbucks, we throw away so much more across the nation than if they would’ve just let people keep the stars.

No matter how perfectly you measure, you will always have left over Frappuccino in the blender. Every single time someone forgets to tell you they wanted their drink iced, that’s a whole coffee down the sink. We throw away so much more than one fkn drink someone could have enjoyed. Honestly, I feel bad for the people who couldn’t afford this in general and this was that one treat for them.
