Issuer Rules & Policies
PENDINGRules: For 2026, the Ulta Ultimate Rewards Mastercard offers a bonus of 20% off your first Ulta Beauty purchase made with the card within 30 days of account opening, plus 500 bonus Ultimate Rewards points after spending $500 outside of Ulta Beauty within the first 90 days. Eligibility requires applicants to be 18 years or older (19 in AL/NE), a US resident with a valid SSN, and possess a good to excellent credit history. Approval is subject to BreadFinance's credit underwriting standards. Existing BreadFinance cardholders may be subject to a review of their total credit exposure across all BreadFinance accounts. Store-specific restrictions apply, meaning primary benefits and highest earning rates are exclusive to Ulta Beauty purchases.
Max Cards Per Issuer: 7
Min Spend Interval: 90 days
Cliff Effect Rules: BreadFinance primarily evaluates applications on an individual basis and total credit exposure rather than strict 'card family' rules. While applying for multiple BreadFinance cards in a short period may lead to denials due to perceived credit seeking, there are no specific 'once per lifetime' or 'X/24' type rules across their portfolio. Eligibility for new cards is heavily influenced by existing credit limits and payment history with BreadFinance.
Special Events: Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty, Love Your Skin Event, Gorgeous Hair Event, Spring Haul, Fall Haul, Diamond & Platinum Perks Days, Member Appreciation Days, and brand-specific promotions.
Holiday Promos: Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas/Holiday Season, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, and New Year's sales.
International Friendly: No
User Analytics & Insights
PENDINGUser Ratings
Average Rating: 3.8 / 5.0
Top Positive:
Excellent rewards for frequent Ulta shoppers, especially with 5x points and exclusive offers. The Mastercard acceptance provides convenience for everyday spending, and it can be a good tool for building credit.
Top Negative:
High Annual Percentage Rate (APR) and frequently criticized customer service from Comenity Bank are major drawbacks. Rewards are primarily valuable only for Ulta purchases, and points can expire.
