Naming who acts after a death
What Ulta Beauty, Inc.'s terms say about sharing and transfers4
- Pooling with family
Ulta Beauty Rewards has no family pooling or household account, and points on different members' accounts may not be combined.1
- Transfers to another member
The FAQs answer that the account is individual and non-transferable, and that points cannot be given to a friend or family member.2
- Transferring the account or registration
Membership is limited to one account per individual, and Program Member IDs are not transferable and not for sale, resale or barter.1
- Expiry and activity requirements
Under section 13, points expire at the end of the calendar quarter following the twelve-month anniversary of the date they were earned. Points of Platinum ($500 of qualifying annual spend) and Diamond ($1200) members do not expire while that status is kept.1
Ulta may cancel an account with no purchase activity after a period it sets in its sole discretion; the accumulated balance then expires, and a member who re-enrols starts at zero.1

Should you save your passwords for your family?
Some people store account passwords so a family member can sign in later. The practice has three practical limits:
- Two-factor authentication often blocks it. Most accounts require a second factor — a code sent to a phone, an authenticator app, a passkey, or a physical key. A saved password alone frequently does not grant access, and the recovery codes that would are easy to lose or let go stale.
- It usually conflicts with the platform's terms. Most operators prohibit account sharing and signing in as another person, including after a death. Stored credentials are not the operator's recognized access path, and using them can violate the terms of service.
- Operators provide other paths. Where an operator offers a designation tool — Apple's Legacy Contact, Google's Inactive Account Manager, a beneficiary designation — that mechanism grants access the operator recognizes. A password manager's own emergency-access or legacy feature passes credentials through a controlled process. Digital assets named in a will or trust give a fiduciary authority under each state's Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (RUFADAA).
