    For DasTri, if it's any consolation, the Gift Card deal doesn't seem to work for the two new items that you put in your cart. It just gives the 15% discount to the Gift Card. The offer does not exclude New Releases, but it still doesn't work on them.

    DasTri said:

    Once again, a promotion manages to annoy me:

    NOW two new releases over $1 give me 10% off and 15% on giftcards - just an hour or so after I bought the two new Daz+-items for 8 tokens, and while in need of a restock of my store credits.

    Bad timing.
    So... no new investion for two more expensive items that I do not really need here, and if I run out of credit, I will definitely spend less.


    Just like it would have been two hours ago, but now I am annoyed about it. Brilliant.

    ......they should simply "new releases" as none are just 1 USD.

    Decent day to use up that DO coupon if you have it sitting around, still... had 4 tokens expiring tonight, so I knocked three things off my WL for the low low price of free. 

    Have a couple of tokens about to go poof ... used up the DO coupon a while back. Do have the $6 off $18 but rarely use that one.

    Could get 85% off things from the 60/70% off selection by adding only products from that which are on my WL and the wishin-hard code, adding a $10 new release and using the tokens

    OR

    Daz+/Premier freebies are also new releases.

    Some of the Outlet items were new for some time. Here the .99 made a difference.

    I let a ton of tokens go poof after the New Years Day fiasco and others . . . so my last purchase here was on December 31st 2025. Store credits of 200+ and 2 DAZ+ coupons have never been this hard to spend.

    ...but none of those unlock better discounts and deals save during certain events like the June Daz+ sale.  It would be a nice little perk for D+ members if they triggerddi counts all year a new ones only appear two days per week.

    ...that works for some offers (like some gift card deals, "punches", and anniversary sale stackers) but not others like the Featured Artist category and anything that requires a  "Debut" or "Still New" Release.

    ...well another day to save money as this is a "Deal I can Miss" since the only tempting offers are tied to Debut Releases, none of which are interesting,  

    For the Featured artist category only two wishlisted items appear.  That's been sort of the case for most of the month.

    I'll wait and see what Friday and the weekend brings.

    Daz+ items over $1 do trigger sales like the one offered yesterday and Free Daz+ items would do too if not for the $1 threshold.

    I think the theory with that is, with the right combination of tokens or whatever, a new item could theoretically go below $1, and there are new freebies for+/prem members that are, of course, free. So, the $1 caviat stays there as a safeguard. Even so, it used to be that member freebies would sometimes count as the new item. That was really nice! Since membership actually pays for those freebies, I'd like to see that practice return! But I'm not holding my breath.  

  • TorquinoxTorquinox Posts: 4,558

    In a meaningless aside, I have not actually spent money here since 12/30. That surprises me!

    Wow, I want to miss the "Can't Miss" sale. I just don't want any of the Top Tier items.

    It's like the other "conditional sales." I don't like to "perform" in order to get a good price on something.

    Just give me the deal.

    I don't like "time-limited" savings that I've earned. (Tokens, etc.) 

    If I bought something, and earned the credits (tokens), I should be able to keep them until I want to use them.

    DAZ should encourage us to spend money and get good deals.

    DAZ should not penalize us.

    not a new though

  • TorquinoxTorquinox Posts: 4,558

    I'll likely have a spree through the outlet store soon. I'm weighing that as I have a lot of stuff already. Really not sure I need/want more stuff, though I certainly like getting new stuff. I'm sure it's some sort of hoarding behavior. surprise

  • MelanieLMelanieL Posts: 7,817

    I finally managed to use both my DAZ+ coupons yesterday - using a couple of new DAZ+ items to trigger discounts on things I really wanted, My first serious spend this year (apart from a GC on the day it was discounted with any any new release - also a DAZ+ item). I've had a trickle of Quick-Grabs each week too, but only two or three at a time.

    Has anyone figured what demulate means yet?

    Yeah, the new releases have been pretty anemic so far for me as well this year, especially with the average prices of items creeping up, items that used to be sold as outfits now coming out with the parts parceled out over several skus, the decreasing mumber of items that natively support G8 as well as G9 (which is STILL incable of doing a lot of what G8 can,) hyper-specific sales where only a limited selection of items are on sale and even then only with the purchase of an even more limited selection of brand new items, and, most especially, after the last few months of much better discounting and sales followed by multiple days of the store not functioning properly.  

     

    All of which is proibably a good thing for me, as I've been rendering more and realizing how little I really need that I don't already have

    Other than Daz nabbing mr me for 8.99 membership, I have not even bothered with free stuff. No orders. But I absolutely love heartArboriel for Genisis 9heart by RawArt and I will buy it by Monday if not before then. So I guess I'll throw some free stuff in and check out for the first time in 22 days.

    ...even the Outlet store sale requires a new release buy-in.though at least a new Daz+ item qualifies

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,957

    maybe they've been there for a few days, but just grabbed 6 free items from the store. Now that's a good deal. yes

    They were likely added as free items today, when the freebies refreshed:

    True, true! But! You want to at least have a D+ subscription to make it worthwile and the buy-in may indeed be pretty cheap, depending how things fall in the store now. I haven't examined it very closely. Of course, to make it all work out, you're going to want to spend a pretty good chunk of change, and I may actually not be positioned to do that. Alas, though it surely is a good deal for those who spend enough, I may have to let it go. Not sure yet...

    ...the lowest priced "new" D+ Release currenily is 4.19 USD (which includes the exta 30% "new" discount that only lasts a limited time).  After that it goes to 5.99 and no longer qualifies.  Still better than 13 - 16 USD (or more) for something one might have little to no interest in or hae no use for.

    Don't know... being kinda forced to spend any money for stuff I don't want doesn't sound too motivational at all to me. 

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 42,159

    ...at least usually one of the D+ items is something I can use like a prop or structure whereas at least 90% of the other new releases tend to be G9 oriented. When something is for G8 it's usually either poses or outlandishly "revealing" or skimpy clothing.

    Assorted Notes:

    1. I called it. Saw the wishlist sale banner, clicked, saw the carousel under the coupon list & knew it was another "Your WL Is On Sale If Your Stuff Made The List" sale. 

    2. Slightly annoyed that 2 of the 3 items in https://www.daz3d.com/sea-creatures-bundle aren't available separately any more. Don't have any use for the Cthulu clone but the bundle goes on sale fairly often. Only reason I didn't buy  the others already is there have been things higher priority on the WL.

    3. https://www.daz3d.com/sci-fi-interior-vignette - am I the only one who thinks this looks like a typical D+ freebie corridor?
