    It still bugs me a little that a Golden Ticket stops being so golden after only three days.

    How long should a Golden Ticket remain golden? At least the tickets are more generous than punches. "Buy one, get 30% extra for the next 3 days" beats "Buy one every day to build up to 30%, lose all discount if you miss a day!"

      

    This is very true.

    The VIP Pass banner looks surprisingly awesome! Lots of bundles in the https://www.daz3d.com/still-new selection. It sure looks to me like I'll soon be combining https://www.daz3d.com/cc-catalina-for-genesis-9 with wings and more from https://www.daz3d.com/ava-9-hd-add-on-bundle ! 

    Coupon code works! Thanks Daz! And with that, I'm wandering off to set up scenes and render stuff.

    I had a chance to get a ton of stuff at 95% off yesterday with the 30% off discount code and other stacking discounts. Ultimately I couldn't make up my mind, so with less than 20 minutes left, I dumped my cart and instead built a new cart with 7 of the new releases for $5.99 including 3 of stone mason's newest kit sets, Xi's city of the gods bundle, the Ava harpy add on and a few other items. The discount was not as good on stonemason's items, but it was cheap enough for the I want it now! Lol

    Ya, I like golden tickets much better than punches since they don't require build up and count for the same day. You can skip what you don't want without feeling like you are messing up your potential discount.

    ...and also the discount for any purchase today does not kick in until tomorrow.

    That's right! I forgot about that! Yes, I much prefer Golden Tickets to punches.

    has anyone been able to get 7 still new golden ticket pass releases with buying a debut new product?

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,746

    i'm positive I can get items for less than the $5.99  VIP deal, but its so tempting. I have been able to get a few WL items out of my list, which is very good, items that have not been discounted this much since I've put them in there. Then it becomes, wait or not. Its weighing heavily towards NOT right now.

    I love stonemason's sci-fi stuff, so for $6 per each of the new scifi/cyberpunk kits, it was an easy decision for me.

    City of Gods bundle does look exquisite! But that must wait for now.

    Golden Tickets have a fixed prices while their equivalents for the punch card will see their price reduced depending on the number of punches in the card and off the top of my head, by tokens too (I don't remember if they are discounted by coupons but they are usually items by PAs).

    You can also buy whatever you want to keep the punches rolling while you must buy/own a Golden Ticket to get the most of a 'Golden Tickets powered' sale.

  • TorquinoxTorquinox Posts: 4,239

    Some of those golden ticket items have been outstanding!

    My guess is that it's the actual end. Last year, I think, they started Daz sale a week late too, after the extension of the PA sale? 

  • joannajoanna Posts: 2,178

    Well, Daz finally "got me." I spent too much this month, and then I spent even more today. The $5.99 deal was hard to pass seeing as some of those were bundles, and some are from PAs that rarely have deep discounts. And, to my own surprise, I already put some of this stuff in use. Literally: bought, installed, and immediately started playing.

    That's my memory of it, too. 

  • MelanieLMelanieL Posts: 7,711

    They got me too - both yesterday and today I spent a small fortune on "bargains"! No idea when I'll get to use them all, but then they'll still be there when I'm ready I guess.

    ...while I missed getting the extra 30% off the Featured Artist selection the VIP offer was great got two Stonemason sets off my wishlist  (Sci-Fi KitSet, and A Village by the Sea) along with the Military Base Bundle for 17.97  USD.  Aa#s I was so  close to a second token I threw in the Statue of Liberty that was on my wishlist.  A rare "big purchase" for me but three environment sets  that I have use for was too good of a deal to pass up.

    Came into this sale with a "bang" and went out with one.  

  • XiousDsXiousDs Posts: 553
    So, for the first time I looked at Princess Petra's stuff on Daz, and I am kind of blown away by how exquisite some of it looks from the sales photos. Is her stuff really as good as it looks or is she just that good at making daz images to make it look that good? Regardless as far as photo realism goes, I think she could sell a how to on making photorealistic art in daz.

    How are people interpreting some of the things in today's sale? The membership discount and the cheaper Outlet/Quick-grab seem to be in a section called "Today's Specials"...but it's unclear if they are part of that or simply in a separate box next to the actual "Today's Specials" (the coupon codes). It seems strange if these are for today only, especially when today is the day when Quick-Grab changes over and is empty for half the day

    On my phone the block about membership markdown appears above the "Today's special" section with the coupon codes, so I interpret it as a separate offer which will last for more than one day.

    I managed not to see the VIP coupon until after it expired. Saved me some cash.

    What is a stacker? How do I have 11 of them and not more (or less) of them?

    "stackers" seem to be points you can earn and that can give you bigger discounts.

    Premier member get 10 from the start (5 for Daz+), and  today's freebie gives you one too, which would account for your 11 if you're a member.

    I got today's freebie, but I'm still at 10 stackers :(

    Counter doesn't seem to work properly, I see 0 when I have 6. Discounts seem to work though.

    I have a lot of Princess's stuff and I find them quite good, especially the hairs.

    I have a few also. I just tested one of the three hairs and an outfit on a not quite 'ideal' sized character (chubby pre-teen) and it performed wonderfully. My only wish would be that it had a lengthen morph for the dresses skirt area for younger characters. I have a number of their products wishlisted.

    I think the stacker promotion is somewhat odd. As a premier member I will not see the full discount for another 16 days, it is not really encouraging you to pick up Door Buster and Debut New items now.
