    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.

    You're very unliky to get a better discount on today's Door Buster in 16 days: at best, they will be 'Still New', so discounted 50% instead of 55% today.

    They said they were a Premier member, so the discount would go up from the current 55% to 70%. 'Doorbuster' and 'Still New' are both showing with a standard 30%. So assuming you are correct that they might be 'Still New', then their base discount will not drop but the stacker discount will increase by 15%.....so there's no reason not to wait. Not to mention the fact that there could a daily special between now and then that you could use to increase that discount even more

    a great gift of a free bundle for Premier members...but, i already have all of them being offered, other than Audrey 9, which I really don;t want. Wonder how long that coupon is good for? Looks like just today. free is free though. 
    Great to see a bundle deal again. There are some nice discounts overall

    Quick-Grab is not loading for me. It's stuck on calculating. I have tried numerous times. Anyone else having a problem? Thanks.

    It was reported, so now we're waiting for Daz to fix it (which is unlikely to happen before they get back to office in a couple of hours).

    The 70% is only for items which are doorbusters that day, not all items. Debut new will be 55% off instead of 45%, and still new will be 50% instead of 45%

    As Elor said, the discount on items which are doorbusters today won't be better in 16 days, as they most certainly won't be doorbusters anymore and might not even qualify as still new anymore (only the past 2-3 days usually stay in still new, except for catchup). Even if they are "still new", the discount will be 50%, which is less than what doorbusters get today.

    Stacker Gift Savings Promo

    Besides the explanation for the base starting amounts for 'Daz+' & 'Premier' members, which is straightforward, the promo page doesn't really explain the ways "Stackers" are collected/accumulated.

    How do you collect/accumulate "Stackers"? Which items qualify as a "Stacker" purchase? Are you only allowed to collect one "Stacker" each day or can you collect multiple "Stackers" each day?

    I have the same questions...
  • UnseenUnseen Posts: 757

    And another question: once we have purchased 26 to 30 stackers (maximum amount of stackers), does the reduction remain the same until the end of the festival or do we lose anything if we buy no stacker one day?

    You can get one by purchasing the "stacker gift" free item.

    There will likely be a specific section for them on the sale page if there are other qualifying products that day.

    Same here plus I do already have Audrey 9s bundle. So it would be nice if that free bundle coupon would work on other DAZ bundles as well.

    Cris said in the sales errors thread that they're not supposed to reset.

    If there are days when Daz includes other qualifying products, I really hope Daz clearly states that those products qualify as a "Stacker".

Even if they are "still new", the discount will be 50%, which is less than what doorbusters get today.

    During one of the many catch-up sales the debut new will all be still new, so it is 50% off after 16 days, rather than the 45% today. Door busters, I assume, would also be still new, so yes, that will have a worse discount in 16 days time than the 55% of today. However that is only a 5% discount, and by buying the new stuff you want in bulk during the catch-ups you are more likley to have 8 tokens to spare, which is another 30% off. I always thought the idea was to encourage FOMO by getting people to buy now, not wait.

    16 days seems a long time to get the max discount, in most previous promotions it was around 3 days.

    I can understand why they did it. It is a clever marketing ploy to encourage people to check in each day to pick up the freebie, but for regular shoppers that check in most days anyway, it is a perplexing idea.

    Things I like about the membership sale: 

    1. You accumulate Stackers with a free item, a pleasant change from having to pay.

    2. The anniversary bundles are back, something many long-time patrons have missed. I'm skipping this one, since it would be much less to just get the 1 item I'd use - but later ones may be more to my liking.

    3. An extra free Premier bundle is great. Yes, it would be better if we got an expanded selection. Still, this way I can get the bundle I was planning on buying with the October code and still have that code available if the selection changes or I like one of the upcoming bundles.

    4. The Daz+ members haven't been forgotten. Those prices are only slightly more for some deals.

    saving a lot on curent (no) quik Grab products. What's up with that anyway? 

  • PixelPiePixelPie Posts: 365

    I had so much fun with the September Sale.. I caught up on so many new and older Pro character bundles.. loved the deals and artist's new items.. thanks DAZ!..heartheart

    I spent so much I don't think I can do the membership sale.. wish I had saved some back from my gift card  sad

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,746

    this may have been asked, but how do you get "stackers" I thought it was from the free item today, the ballons, but that didn't add anything to the total. Is there something you have to buy that counts as a stacker?

    Re 3)
    Would have been great. But I've already used mine on Audrey 9 already. So no free bundle for me as I doubt that this "today" offer will be usable coming thursday. Not nice.

    unfortunately I get overwhelmed with thrse sales

    I could join DAZ+ for a month but then there is all the half price Outlet stuff as well as all the deals and I simply cannot afford everything no matter how cheap

    so in the end it is cheaper to not buy anything crying

    I am thrilled with stuff I bought the past month heart

    You do get one from the free item, but the counter on the sale page is wacky so it might not display it properly (mine says 0 when I actually have 6 for example).

    In addition to all the great deals, the free character bundle coupon is really nice to see! I can't remember DAZ giving us an additional character coupon. Yesterday I had the Audrey character bundle in my cart (for $5.99), then switched it for a different bundle. Later I kind of regretted it, but today I got it for free.

    So is this a "Wait 15 days and then buy" sale or we will have some aditional ways of gaining stacks ;p?

    Sorry, I have another question about the Daz membership 25% off sale: is it valid today only?

    The way the page is built, it's placed over the Today's Only section when the page is displayed on a small screen (like a phone's one) or a very narrow window, so I think it's an offer valid for the whole month.

    If you want to be sure, your best bet is to ask the question in the reporting thread, which is monitored by the moderators:
