    i have no bonus item or key savings item, but the key savings 10% never worked for me, from what I can tell.

    The Bonus Items are still the Woodland Plants set and Mrs Chow HD.

    Key and Bonus items are unchanged from yesterday.

    still no one has answered the question ... why the 10% for the key thing never worked for me..how do  know that it has? 
    Does it carry over to every purchase once you have the PRO bundle or what ?

    I may have missed it, but have you posted any screenshots of carts where you expect it to be working?

    @daveso, The way the ‘Your Key’ discount works is the 10% is taken off automatically when you put a qualifying product in your cart. Any of the Newly Mad and Still Mad items products, as well as back catalog products of the featured, "Mad Artists."

    The products that trigger the ‘Your Key’ discount are posted every day. Initially, owning one or more of the 'key' products triggered the discount. More recently, if you put one of these products in your cart, it will also trigger the discount.

    10% isn't much. If you put a single, 40% off item in the cart, it will be 46% off. Add another one for the 50% discount, and they will both be 55% in the cart. If you're using the Daz Deals plugin, the percentage will be displayed, (love that plugin!)

    If you don't have Daz Deals, put a single Newly Mad item into your cart and compare the price in your cart with the price on the product page. Are they the same? If so, contact Customer Service. Richard has put up screenshots of the key items nearly everyday since the sale started, so it should be easy to determine what days you qualified for the extra discount. You Order Confirmation emails will show the exact amount you paid for each product. Doing the math on one item in each order should show whether or not the discount was applied. (Please PM me if you'd like help with that. I seem to have a good grasp of "Daz Maths.")

    thank you ... i will look at a few things. But today, there is nothing showing as a key item  .. so I guess that doesn;t work then? 

    edit: yes, it is working today for sure, even though no key item is showing

    Do we know if this new "Weekend Bonus" code is one use only, or multiple?

    If it's multiple, then there's a couple of things I would grab straight off so as to be sure not to miss out on them, but if it's one use only then I'll need to take more time thinking about it.

    Good question. And I noticed there's no expiration date. That it's a "Weekend Bonus" suggests it should be good through this Sunday, until Daz Midnight, but it would be nice to know for sure.

    I am sure it will be multiple times. Currently all the items in the list have just their standard PC+ 30% off, so the best you are going to get is 65% off DOs, and it is likely DAZ will be happy for you to buy as often as you want at that discount.

  • Seeing the banner: Oh, nice! Doing the math: Meh. I had my $50 free DAZ orginals for the purchase of Mrs. Chow. Don't know whether I purchased too early. Probably the next days will still bring only extra discounts for folks who purchase then and not for those who have already purchased. Don't mind that my wishlist is growing and not shrinking though.

    It appears that the Mrs. Chow deal (she and 2 new or still mad) isn't working a second time...nor does the 10% bonus seem to work on the coupon DOs...although, I don't see any reason it wouldn't.  If all the discounts worked, I should see the listed related pro bundles at about $25 (pretty much where they were a week ago with the Bridget sale).  94.47 x .5 (coupon) x .6 (Mrs. Chow deal) x .1 (bonus for buying B8 and MC) = $25.51.  Plus, I'm not seeing the $50 off either.  I do see the discount on MC Pro as it was according to the deal and the 2 still mad items...just none of the additional.  Does that mean the MC deal only works once?

    Sorry, not somewhere I can do a cart shot at the moment.  But, I definitely have MCPro plus 2 still mad in the cart.

    DOH!  I see now, that the Related Items don't have all those pro bundles included anymore...  I still wonder about the $50 off DOs, though.  Oh, I see...the link doesn't work on the MM page...only on the MC page.  It looks like those items have been swapped around a bit as well.

    At this point, I think you bought Mrs. Chow just in time. Even with the "Weekend Bonus," the items in my cart for the Mrs. Chow offer are easily 130% what I would have paid if I'd checked out before Daz Midnight yesterday.

    @cdpro_2831bbd990, I think the answer is yes; that the MC8 offer will only work once. When I first reported a problem with $50 not being taken off my cart, (which has been fixed now, btw,) Cris posted

    Well, if you are buying her for the first time, the rules on her sale page should be valid, L'Adair. Try <cache/relog/other browser/hard refresh>/

    Based on comments in this thread, several people rebought Mrs. Chow to take advantage of a better offer, and then asked for refunds from CS for the ealier order(s). It sounds like Daz has fixed that loophole.

    Actually, it does seem to work twice.  It's just that the pro bundles that I really wanted are all out of the Related Items section now.  And, the few that were in the $50 off seem to be gone as well.  However, there are still a couple of the Starter bundles that seem to work...just not as amazing of a deal as it was last weekend.  If however, you don't already own Darius Pro Bundle, that one is included in Related Items and with all the other deals stacked, comes down to about $16.  So, if you don't own Darius and are planning to buy MC, that's a pretty decent deal.

    I wonder if we'll see any other big pro bundle sale this month.  I'd like to see Mable and a few of the newer pro bundles back around that $25 range. :)

  • Regarding that "repurchasing loop-hole": DAZ should simply treat day1 or day2-buyers of the recent pro bundles better. Today has some nice "related madness" products but the extra discount is only offered to buyers of the pro bundle. Why not for folks who have already purchased. It would be so simple: Buy two new/still releases and get that extra discount on related. I don't want that 50$ off again but it is simply frustrating to see wishlisted products coming and going from "related madness" knowing that the best price on those items is no longer possible because one has already purchased. Well anyhow, I'll just wait and if the offer is not for me then I leave those products on the wishlist a little longer.

    I decided to take the fall, as I'll be busy for most of the rest of the weekend and there was only a couple of things I reeeeeeally wanted at that price (pure DOs that seldom get discounts from PA sales).

    The coupon is still applying after checking out the first time.

    Thank you, Matt. Knowing it will work more than once makes it easier to checkout, that's for sure.
    yes

    Now if we just find out if it's good through Sunday! lol

    Still use a bit of caution. I've seen coupons in the past were only valid for three times.

    ...gah, Wisconsin and Marquette went out early, succumbing to the "Curse of the #5 seed" and were upset by their #12 seed opponents in the first round.

    With no dogs left in the fight, looks to be a boring MM on the hardwood as well.

    Hmm…

    Not rooting for the Ducks, I take it. Hubby was a very happy camper when they won. Sorry they took out your Badgers in the process. (To be clear, he roots for any Oregon team. But when it's the Ducks vs Beavers, he roots for whichever one winning has the chance to make post-season play. If neither do, though, he roots for the Beavs! LOL)

    ...was totally displeased by that opening round pairing.  I don't like it when teams I follow are even in the same bracket let alone set to face each other at the outset like this. Wisconsin was pegged as a four seed for weeks prior to Selection Sunday and should have drawn a #13.  The #5 - #12 paring is one where upsets tend to occur the most. Like i mentioned, it is a "cursed" combination.

    Both Marquette and Wisconsin are my true "home teams". With them both out, interest for me wanes quickly, particularly when the Badgers' nemeses, Sparty (Michigan State) and Ohio State (which should not even have made the tournament by how poorly they played this year) are still there (and OSU is currently leading #6 Iowa State 49 - 46 with about 8 min to go in the 2nd half).
