 How did you manage that?! 

 

I needed a new item bought in the last 3 days. So I grabbed the medieval church floor tile shaders. I might actually use them! I like shaders :) Then, I haven't bought any bonus items for a while. So, I added 5 that I wanted and missed. They came together for ~ $9.11. I added a pro pack. Yay! Then I did it again for about $9.32. So I guess that's $2.79 + $9.11 + $9.32 = $21.22 . And I paid with money on account from gift cards bought at no less than 20% off. So, actual paid amount would be ~$17 .

It was 3 separate orders.

I guess it pays off not to buy the bonus items daily :). I usually bought the ones I wanted, only missed 1.

Somehow I don't even see owned highlight on my items.

You could repurchase them. Just hit the red 'Purchased' button on the product page

 to add them to your cart.

But that means spending $10 again. I already spent the last of my money on buying merchant resource textures yesterday along with all those bonus madness items I had missed. Only $15 left but that is for upcoming bonus madness item. I wonder if I should try talking to support. Genesis 3 bundle is too good to miss. I used to buy mostly Genesis 8 items but lately, I feel like Genesis 3 is pretty good as well.

That would mean spending more money now, but you could get a refund on the first purchase afterwards.

Where the 'keys' are found if one has any available.

The bonus deal is to buy the key(s) and then further discounts are possible. To enable the really sweet prices for the 'keys' one can purchase for example, the new set of shaders over in the PC+ page. Need ANY new purchase inside of the last 3 days to trigger the sweet prices.

The key items are the ones below. Usually bundles or expensive products. They don't get any discounts. If you have at least one of them you get 10% additional discount to newly mad and related mad items.

The bonus madness are newly mad or related mad items (one per day) that get a 70% discount if you bought a new product in the last 3 days.

Okay ... well that explains why I wasn't seeing the extra 10% off of one I tried for ... those 2 sales could use each their own space then.

However one wants to read all that, if you get 5 of the cheaper ones, you can also get a free bundle.

Refund might take longer. If support understands they might give me 1 bundle but that is being greedy. I will leave it.

Worth a try if you're really interested in the free bundle, after all you bought those items yesterday.

Anyway, as the thread title says, there's always another sale ;)

Yep I guess its no prob if they don't give me any but I should at least try.

I've noticed, there is often a reward for waiting. But wait too long and you can miss out. I've done that, too.

5 of those 'key' items [that usually load in for less than $2 IF you've recently purchased ANY new item {PC+ counts}] will net a free bundle too :-) First order any new item unless one already is qualifying for those nice prices.

And it repeats if for some reason one has a collection of 10 'key' items waiting to be purchased. 2 orders with 5 'keys' and 1 bundle.

And no, it doesn't work for the free DO item.

Thank you Daz3d :-)

key items or bonus items? those key items are really expensive.

You are correct, daveso. She is referring to the bonus items. The confusion of wording is undoubtedly because the two separate offers are grouped together on the page, and based on the image she attached, she has purchased all of the Bonus Madness items leaving no space between the adcopy of the two offers.

(ETA: Me thinks I take too long to write responses. This was already answered by the time I hit the "Post Comment" button!)

With most stuff I wait but since I am such a shoppaholic on daz apparently, it feels good to buy something every day :(. And that something was usually the bonus item if I liked it.

Well this time yes. Bonus offers are not always repeated during catchup sales though.

Yes I think we got that ironed out now. I read the bonus items as being 'keys' for unlocking further discounts on the expensive 'key items' listed below ... as they were all in the same section of ad. Apparently they don't.

Daz is a wonderful place to shop.

last time I opened a ticket it was December in Christmas sale and the ticket was very slow cause there were lots of issues at that time and I had to wait for weeks. Could anyone tell how much time it takes when there is less traffic?

Usually a few days outside of big sales.

It really varies by a lot - from a couple of days to weeks or longer depending on what the ticket is about, what day the ticket is submitted (weekends and holidays will affect wait time), how complex the fix might be, etc. I've had refund tickets resolved the next day, and I have had other tickets open for much longer.

Thank you both. Leana my artwork where you gave suggestions on umbrella lighting was showcased. Thanks for that as well.

fyi ... you can add 5 of the bonus items, if you haven;t purchased them all, and get the pro bundle free deal using those. I just spent $8.85 for 5 and got a free pro bundle..they're listed under the Still new banner ... so i think its actually still new madness items. 

Yes i also did that and now i have 0 of those left to buy. I can't test if it also works with free Daz Original.

Nope, the free DO only works with NEWLY Mad items.

alex86fire said:

I am usually the first to complain if something is not correct about the banners or offers but with the Temp PC+ offer I don't really see any big problems.

The offer is stated clearly at the top. The temp PC+ is after you need two or more items and colon. I don't see why you would think you need less than that.

Regarding the offer also being stated next to the Temp PC+ items themselves, I think it would be nice but I mean, why not read the offer at the top before scrolling to the page. Or, if you don't feel like that, once you add an item to the cart and see that it is not discounted, why not return to the top of the page to check if there are any extra conditions.

I say this especially since we all know that Daz banner are not always the most clear and clearly worded, so why not take everything with caution?

...all it needed to add to the description was something like "Also  Buy Two Newly Mad Items and Get The Following Temp PC items at 2.20$"   Others also mentioned the 2.20$ price not working and only when someone posted above that you needed tow Newly mad items did it become clear.   It is just like the Stock Up sale where there was no mention that PC+ items were ineligible while a good number of them appeared on that sales selection page. 

Being a bit clearer on details of a deal isn't rocket surgery.

No they aren't. Many are confused on that sales pitch esp. if one has already purchased the 'keys' themselves because then they do not show. IF one has purchased the 'key' itself then those really expensive items are 10% [or something] less in price.

{and I too confused my wording referring to the keys as key items meaning the key products, sorry 'bout that}

{{What I have been calling 'keys' are also known as 'bonus items' ... so okay, whatever you want to call them.}}

...I don't understand how people are getting these ridiculously low prices, I put 5 bonus item in the cart and the total it was over 35$

FIRST you go over to the PC+ sales page and buy one new item [i.e. the Shaders for church floors or something]. After buying that, then go back to the Bonus items and load in at least 5 and the 1 bundle.

n.b. it doesn't have to be a PC new item, but those are cheaper ;-)

And the bundle has to be from this page. click here.

The weekly pc+ freebie counts as a new item. If you're pc+, you don't have to spend anything to trigger to discount on the bonus items.

Charlie Judge

Hmm, The only 'Key' items are any of  today's new releases. Is that what was really intended ???

kyoto kid

...well moot now as it is after 00:00 Daz Time and everything's changed.

Ah well, so it goes.

That's interesting! Unless the item is actually new, that shouldn't work. And it's still new item! :D

The weekly pc+ freebie usually is a new item.

I still find it odd how the PC+ items aren't appended at the bottom of the daily promotion page, there's a lot of very nice stuff there, and for those who aren't PC+ members, it would definitely help make them aware of the benefits. Like, I wonder how many people paid the non-PC price of $13.27 instead of the PC-price of $4.19 for Petipets' new Alpha City for example. I mean, it's definitely worth the $13.27, but $4.19 makes it quite the bargain! And even if people don't want to become a PC+ member, appending the weekly info at the bottom of the daily sales page would at least give some more/better exposure to new additions that are easily missed otherwise.

That's true! Weekly PC+ is usually new :)

Good points!

The title of this thread is my mantra today. I had a cart of my top 10 items last night that, with the discounts, was $25.00... but I can't even justify spending that right now so I didn't... and today the same cart is $116 !! *TEARS* There's always another sale, there's always another sale, there's always another sale!!!

There is! :) And there will most likely also be at least one more catch-up sale. If the great price was due to stacking discounts, then you may have to wait a little longer, but there usually is another sale. :)
