How to Check Your Ulta Beauty Gift Card Balance

Ulta Beauty gift cards are physical, PIN-protected cards, and beauty balances tend to get whittled down a few dollars at a time. Have the card ready so you can enter both numbers at once.

Keep handy

• Your Ulta card number.
• The PIN behind the scratch-off.

Other ways

• Any Ulta store will scan the card at checkout to tell you the balance.
• Guest services can read it over the phone.
• Linking the card to your Ultamate Rewards account shows it in the app.

Re-key the digits — one wrong character stops the lookup cold. A same-day purchase may take an hour to register.

Because Ulta cards get chipped away across cosmetics, skincare, and salon services, small forgotten purchases add up to zero faster than you'd expect — check your Ulta order and salon history. It's also common to have linked the card to your Ultamate account, which then applies it automatically at checkout.

Sell an Ulta card you won't use

If those beauty dollars aren't your thing, you can trade them for cash without exposing the card. FlipGift keeps the code with you: the buyer pays into escrow, you place their order on your own card and attach proof, and the money releases once it's delivered. Most sellers net around 72-88% after a flat 2.5% fee shared by both parties. Sell your Ulta balance.

Shopping at Ulta Beauty rather than selling? A Ulta Beauty order placed through escrow lands 8–40% under retail — someone else's balance pays for it and the item ships to you, with no code changing hands either way. How a Ulta Beauty order works out →
