Yet, another coupon code that doesn't work

This weekend's WISH-FOR-MORE coupon doesn't work. I followed the rules. I have an "Excellent" new release in my cart along with an item that was placed on my wishlist before the 25th. I typed it in correctly 3 times and I get a code invalid error each time.
Not for nothing, but this is happening too frequently of late.

Is the wishlisted item part of the store wide sale category?
The mechanics of sale are pretty inane. If you have an item in your wishlist and it is in the store-wide subcategory, which is itself is an oxymoron as it seems to exclude most of the items in my own wishlist (only 93 viable out of 363), then it discounts, with the increased discount only applying if you also have a new Excellent item (yesterday wish-listn). On the other hand, if you use the mdegaweekend coupon instead and have an excellent item in the cart, the non-sw items will get a reduction BUT as a consequence the wishlist items in the SW category get a lesser discount rate. I would assume that the hope is to get customers buy two new items seperately and use the two different coupons in seperate carts, but what it's basically done for me is to dump the whole thing.
For the WISH-FOR-MORE coupon to work the items must be BOTH on your wishlist prior to 25 Jan AND be in the select group of items ( https://www.daz3d.com/store-wide-insanity#index=0&order=popular^1&filtered=1 )
So the "Excellent" new release also has to be in the wish list prior to Jan 25 too? So, how I am supposed to know that ahead of time? I see that goes nicely with the "Store Wide Insanity" theme. More and more it seems that these sales are requiring a degree in rocket science to figure out. I'm sorry, but I prefer a straight up, straight worded set of rules to these 'parlor tricks'. It's just bad business.
More like insane rather than inane. But, the end result for me was the same. I just dumped the whole thing. I just feel that I don't need a degree in rocket science to figure out how a Daz sale supposed to work.
There's a simple way to check if anything on your wishlist is included in the eligible items. Click on the selection, and then click the box at the top "Show Wishlisted". If anything on your Wishlist is included, it will be displayed.
I'm experiencing the same issue.
Click on what selection?
Today it's this selection: https://www.daz3d.com/store-wide-insanity which is directly under the codes on the sales page. Only wishlisted items that are part of it qualify, not all the items in your wishlist.
The new BONUS-WISH code is doing the same thing. Neither yesterdays or today's Wish-list sale says anything about the item being part of the "store-wide-insanity" as being a requirement and THATs what I am getting at. Here are the requirements just to reitterate:
50% off Store-Wide
Extra 40% off* up to 20 from your Wishlist
with code BONUS-WISH
Extra 50% off* unlimited
with any "Extended" New Release and code LONG-WEEKEND
Extra 60% off* unlimited from your Wishlist
with any "Extended" New Release and code BONUS-WISH
*Items must be simultaneously in cart for discount to apply.
Items must be on wishlist prior to January 26.
Coupon codes usable once per customer.
Minimum price after discount $2.99.
You see? It mentions nothing about having to be part of "store-wide-insanity". If that is the case, then it should be worded like this:
*Items must be simultaneously in cart for discount to apply.
items must be a part of the store-wide-insanity group to apply.
Items must be on wishlist prior to January 26.
Coupon codes usable once per customer.
Minimum price after discount $2.99.
Now that removes all ambiguty. I get it now about showing me that list, but honestly, do you think I am really going to leaf through 30k worth of items to see which ones are in my wishlist?
Thanks to all that answered this message, but these kind of sales are very vague and it happens too often. I just don't feel that it is right, especially to long time members.
I've had a suspicion for a long time that the writer of the ad text for many DAZ sales is either 1.) an AI 2.) someone who speaks English as a second language (or not at all) and is using Google translate, or 3.) an infininte number of Sea Monkeys (which come frome the Great Salt Lake that gives Salt lake City it's name) with a lot of little keyboards. The tihing is, the items released on Saturday, Sunday, and today, are all labled as part of the "Extended" sale, so while those are the only ones that trigger the discount, that's actually a larger selection than one gets in most of DAZ's sales these days. As for filtering through the list, I've got a "show wishlisted items only" option that I believe comes as part of the DAZ DEALS browser add-on, which is the only reason I bother with these sales.
Yes, it's typical for Daz, though. If there is an offer in the same section as a product selection, the offer applies to the selection. It's not always visually clear unless you look for it and compare different offers, but it is.
As for the wording, yes, Daz is notorious for being not clear. That's why we have forums where users are generally very helpful in deciphering what the offer actually means vs. pedantic dictionary definitoins of words (as an author, I do personally like those definitions, but since Daz doesn't seem to like them, I learn how to read their language, especially that they're quite consistent in it).
And to put it shortly: you got a clarification, and the code works as intended, despite of what it should be if we followed dictionary definitions.
The "Wishlist" text is a link that takes you to the cayegory with the Wishlist filter applied. That is true even in the quoted text in your post.
Tip: if you click Show Product Filters (just below "xxx of yyy items") on a page there are several check boxes, one of them is "Only Wishlisted." You don't have to have Daz Deals. It works on all sorts of selections - Featured Artists, Outlet, Quick Grab, Premier free bundles, Flash sales, & Coupon eligible selection like today's.
The thing is that link under the word "Wishlist" DOESN'T take you to YOUR wishlist. Instead it takes you to an entirely different collection of products that may or may not contain ANY of the items that are in your actual wishlist, but as DAZ doesn't call that link WISHLIST SELECTIONS or WISHLIST OPPORTUNITIES or any other similar verbiage to easily distinguish it from the real wishlist that is ALWAYS on your account page, there's no reason for many to think that it's not the same as just clicking on the regular wishlist link... until after discovering that nothing seems to work and coming here to complain about it.
A sale wll having a link to the qualifying category is the norm, if not quite universal.
Did you mean to address that to me, as it doesn't seem to be a response to anything I wrote in the quoted passage. All I wrote was that what was problematic in this case is that having a sale link that is labled using the exact same name as an already existing and well established section of the store that customers use on a daily basis, rather than something that is recognizably different, is bound to cause some confusion, something that could have been easily prevented by using a slightly different name for the sale category and the correspondig link. Nothing more, notihng less... though I will add that it's especially true when sometimes the store WILL link directly to your personal wishlist as part of an ad blurb.
