    Atm, the Better than DAZ item (candle trees - lovely!) is at its regular price in my cart, should be 1.99 for DAZ+ member.

    This was fixed

    LOL waiting for those ceramic critters to pop up is like a game of Duck, Duck, Grey Duck...

    Yeah. The only really cool ones IMO were the balloons and the Holy Grail...uh, I mean that adorable critter. I haven't picked up any of those stackers since sometime last week. Partly it's boredom, but mainly it's that the few times I've carted the freebie and a Debut/Still/Doorbuster, the increased discount is...underwhelming.

    I was quite fond of the marbles, leaf trinket tray, and moon shelf as well.  

    How could I have forgotten the marbles!? Or the leaf tray? Those sweet too.

    Hmm will you all hate me forever if I tell you those ceramic birds are in my runtime? I saw them in my email, went straight to the store, found two offerings, took both and found something else I think and checked out immediately. Didn't even have my first cup of coffee yet.

     

    Edit to correct item: yes they were 'MPP Ceramic Animal' and I will just say they look more like a mouse/cat hybrid. My eyes are shot trying to look on a tiny screen thumbnail.

    What I love about them are how they would feel in your hands, or a child's hands. Being able to smooth fingers around the curves would be relaxing.

    Oh, I have the ceramic critters as well. I'm just amused watching literally everything else come out first, and I'm excited for everyone else to enjoy them, too.

    I won't, because I have them too. laugh

    But I seriously hope that they will return at some point, so everyone can get them. Maybe as a Christmas gift?

    Some days ago there was an extra free stacker item that was listed among the doorbusters (it did not give doorbuster discounts to other stuff, so you didn't miss out on it) that was later removed. Some people got it before it disappeared.

    Edit: I just realized that they were rabbits (well, "ceramic animal"), so I know nothing of birds.

    I thought they were mouses?!

    (I guess "critters" is/was the hint)

    Looks like a cross between a mouse and a rabbit, kind of reminds me of the plastic mouse from the original Mouse Trap game but without a tail. Shown here as edibles with Food shaders.

    There is a ReadMe page still available. Make of that what you will...

  • NathNath Posts: 2,940

    I'm sure I don't understand today's sale page. 

    At the top: 2 Free bundle options

    Then: two bundles (with the numbers 1 and 2 in the same colours as the text at the top). However, I see no options at all to make either of these bundles free. No banner or code, they're not in the Premier Free bundles selection on my membership page. So, how?

    Then: more text: "4 days left. When you upgrade to premier. LAST CHANCE MEMBERSHIPS Get your discounted Premier Membership today, for your last chance at
    two bundles for FREE. Plus, WAY more!"

     

    Does the '2 free bundles' suggestion at the top refer to either of these text blocks? If it's the first: HOW? If it's the second, it's very confusing with today's (nonfree?) bundles in between...

  • and while Ii can edit the previous comment I can't add the extra file to it.

    Is the code "25-SPECIALTY-PLUS" one thats been there for ages, I just tried to use it, not having bought anything for a week or so, and cannot remember if I used it ages back and its still the same on advertised

    As otherwise I can't work out why it won't work.

     

    (Also, for what it's worth I can't even get the $6 monthly code to work, even though all 4 items fit the description it seems) 

    Daz+ items, Gift Cards, FastGrab, licenses, & memberships. Cannot be used to discount items already owned

    It kind of sucks that using a member code to make the bundles free means they no longer apply discount to the Artist Store, even though the bundles ARE Doorbusters (even if they've been made free with a code) and should provide 80% discount. Daz is making Doorbusters a requirement to get discounts on Artist Store and Gift Cards and other things, but is then making it so members can get 12 of the 16 Doorbusters for free (in a way that blocks them from providing the discount). Well done on rewarding loyal paying members by forcing them to choose between a bunch of bad options where you have to waste codes or miss out on deals or buy something you don't want

    yeah... my current membership expires in 3 days. Overall, I've spent money, but getting there seems to be more of a chore. Convoluted text and sales reign. It gets old.

    Well, this sucks. I put the Velvet Pirate Bundle thing in my cart. I applied my 8 tokens. Then I applied my DO $10 coupon. When I did that, the token discount disappeared. only the coupon will work. OR, /I can only use the tokens. The tokens and DO coupon will not stack. I reported in the report thread.  This does not give me warm fuzzy feeling at all.

    Yes, that code has been there since the begining of the Membership Festival

    Did you test it by trying to use another item to see if it's the item issue and/or applying less tokens to see if it's some weird cart going to $0 issue?

    I'm asking, because while I'm Daz+ member, so I can only test my DO coupon, but it did apply along with the tokens (I also have less tokens and didn't bring the item under $6).

    I got everything to work by adding 1 item for $1.49. for whatever then the tokens and coupon worked. I only lost $0,23 on the coupon. I got the Velver bundle and the Xi Brewery at $0.00. Now I have 2 free bundles to choose from for my monthly free bundle premier thing. Kayla or Ally...i dislike either and both have 2 items I might use. Ally is too young and toony, there are a couple clothing items not too bad. Kayla bundle is pretty bad. I like the hair and maybe her, but she is just another character among a whole many of them.  Free though, that's all I can say. Premier is great for sale, the tokens,  but the rest of it just not worth much anymore. DAZ+ items are getting very repetitious, the bundles not soo good. I think today was the first or second day in this sale that had a couple items I can actually use. 

  • I assumed the 2 free bundles with the Premier membership offer meant "You can use the monthly code for one of these and the code that's been up since October for the other," but this is Daz Marketing so who knows? 

    I am so tired of the Premier bundle selection being so small for the last few weeks. I have Vicky, and I am not really interested in any of the older characters on offer. Alas, nothing in Velvet Plunder is my style & I am not sure what I'd use the cute fruit characters for. So using my code this month might come down to "What hairstyle do I want for free?" Free is great & I like most of the hairs in the bundles. But...that wasn't the deal & there are so many older G9 bundles I have wishlisted. / melodramatic sigh /

    I have been coming to the realization for quite some time, especially when I have to look at 5000 items over and over to find 1 free one that I might use,  that I have too much now. Overloaded inventory. Too bad we can;t give it away or something. Yeah, DAZ needs to get some bundles in that free bundle thing. I'm letting my premier membership close out again. 

  • @daveso The only reason I am renewing is my sugarplum dreams about the upcoming holiday sale season - which has never failed to delight me when it happens. But probably not renewing past that unless/until there's a spectacular sale, or maybe a 2026 core character that really appeals to me, since the bundle coupon would pay for the monthly fee.

    No offense to the artist, but I hate almost everything Chrryt makes. Before even looking at who makes an item I can almost alway tell before looking at them who it is made by, just like stuff from Rawart. Except I like Rawart except for the stupid placement of tails on certain characters that drives me crazy. Not much of a fan of the weird fruit heads, but I would probably take that over the bundle featuring Chrryt. If I did go with that bundle, though, it would literally be because I like the hair from propschick and the environment from Xi. I like the brewery scene, though, from the other set, Matari usually does decent clothing for cyberpunk settings, and although I am not keen on the fruit heads, they are definitely something unlike anything I have and might be useful at some point.

    So I upgraded to annual Premier 2 or 3 days ago and now there's 2 free bundles that I'm not able to get? :(

    AFAIK, you can use the  25-SPECIALTY-PREMIER code from the daily sales page to get either the Velvet Plunder or Cider Brewery bundle and then (in a separate transaction) use the November Premier bundle code for the other - if you haven't used 1 or both since you joined. (Or to get any 2 bundles in https://www.daz3d.com/premier-characters.)

    This sort of thing is one of the reasons I hesitated to get the annual sub. It's like a blank check for the member benefits for a whole year, whereas if they change during a monthly sub, one can simply not renew. Here's hoping it's a store glitch and not a rewrite of the coupon terms now that enough people have signed up.

     

    Edit: reading the updates in the other thread, it looks to me like it was caused by tokens reducing the price to where the coupon made the item free, which triggered the cart to unapply the applied tokens. So, a store glitch!

    That's how I'm interpreting it too. Header says 2 free bundle options, and lower down "When You Upgrade to Premier" as how to get "two bundles for free". Both of the new bundles are in the selection at https://www.daz3d.com/premier-characters i.e. the marketing is focused on non-members who haven't joined + used either coupon yet.

    The new Xivon sets look pretty cool, especially Desert Port.

    There is a coupon that first appeared last month. If you haven't used it, that's one free bundle if you use it.

    There is the normal premiere free character bundle coupon that renews each month. If you haven't used it, that's a second free bundle, if you use it.

    While there are free bundles offers with premiere, and these are new bundles on which the free bundle offers exist, there aren't new offers for free bundles since the start of month or the coupon released last month.
