In this note various geometric properties of a Banach space X are characterized by means of weaker corresponding geometric properties involving an ultrapower XU. The characterizations do not depend on the particular choice of the free ultrafilter U. For example, a point x∈ SX is an MLUR point if and only if j(x) (given by the canonical inclusion j\colon X → XU) in BXU is an extreme point; a point x∈ SX is LUR if and only if j(x) is not contained in any non-degenerate line segment of SXU; a Banach space X is URED if and only if there are no x,y ∈ SXU, x≠ y, with x-y ∈ j(X).
