    It is only for Premier and DAZ+ members Premier members get the $200 discount while DAX+ members get $100 off. 

    Just to be clear, is it only for existing Premier members because they can't take advantage of the 50% off an annual membership, though? That would make sense.

    daveso, excuse me... The link only showed me a screenshot of the banner.... it is hard to read the text on the banner.

    Many of the provisions you mentioned were NOT in the banner/screenshot.

    Someone else provided a screenshot of the banner, and I couldn't read the text.

    I don't mind expending effort to understand something. However, at the same time, the conditions should be easily found and understood.

    ***** Edited to add ****

    I finally got a cart of stuff to work. It was difficult for me to get the right calculation. 

    I had chosen to apply my tokens to reduce the price. I'd add an item, and use my calculator to see what was left in the balance. But the total was a moving target. It was always different than the total on my calculator.

    I just kept adding items, and got close to $100.

    In the end, I paid $6 for everything. Perhaps that was for tax.

    I might have gotten a better selection if I calculated things differently.

    In the end I am satisfied.

     

     I am glad you finally got it to work. A couple tips:

    1. When I have problems finding codes, restrictions, correct selections. etc., I scroll up, and even go back a page or 2, to find the earliest posts here after Daz Midnight and read them all. I also check the Reporting thread. Chances are someone will have posted the answers I need already. 

    2. Often disclaimers/restrictions like "no New items" are missing from sales pages, so if you can't get an offer to work, remove Daz+ and New (if not a buy-in) items and see if that fixes it. If you're in an area where Daz adds sales tax, double check that the pretax total is above any minimum purchase. It is so easy to look at the final total instead, especially if Daz only recently started charging you tax. I do that all the time, because 2026 is the first year Daz has been adding it to my purchases.

     

  • Has anyone upgraded a current Daz+ to Premier today and then been able to use the  STUDIO-6-PREP for $200?

    According to the small print in DIM, you have to have been a member before June 4th to be eligible.

    It is only for Premier and DAZ+ members Premier members get the $200 discount while DAX+ members get $100 off. 

    "Valid if you were a menber prior to June 4" in the fine print if you enlarge the message window in DIM" 

  • Answers my question as well. Thanks, all!

    (I couldn't make everything out in the posted screenshots  & haven't been able to look at the actual DIM message since Husband had my laptop.)

    Off to finalize my cart!

  • SilverGirlSilverGirl Posts: 3,765

    The banner never did show up for me in DIM, so thank you to those who kindly shared with the class. I nailed down a cart of 8 DOs for $1.60 (tax included), including my sought-after Mera cosplay outfit (woot!), a tutorial that will hopefully ease some frustration, and some G9 textures to outfits I already had. Me = happy camper.

    (Yes, I downloaded things from DIM today, although I did not download DS6. It's not offering anything awesome enough to make up for the fact that none of my plug-ins would be available, and porting things back and forth just sounds like a pain in the tush. I'm sure someday I'll have no choice but to use it, but today is not that day, and I'm going to put it off as long as humanly possible.)

  • WolfwoodWolfwood Posts: 996

    Well, finally pulled the trigger. 7 character or addon bundles, one mini bundle to round it close to 200. A pair of shoes as a buy in for the extra 20% off, unlike some other fillers these have more potential to get used at some point.

    I would had still prefered to take advantage of an extra year of premier at 50% discount over this coupon, but a gif is still a gift and it was a good one. So Thank you Daz.

    And we finally got a decent gift card sale HURRAY!!!!! ......  wallet is crying in a corner looking at me saying there is nothing to celebrate and that i should spend credit wisely and make it last crying

    Haven't decided if I will download DS6 now or later. Probably Later. Like you, I don't want to deal with porting. I will give people time to update their plugins as well as Daz to deal with any problems. Not to mention, find out more about the AI  - specifically how easy it is to shut off or work around.

    I'm also very happy with my new goodies. Since I got Pam yesterday, I picked up that pretty New tank top which more than paid for itself & I will get some use out of it.* I picked up a dress I've had wishlisted for a while and the Nadine add-on bundle. (I am in a mood to do some undersea fantasy.) Finally! I got Dragonscale from Valenia add-on bundle, as well as the texture add-ons for Dragonscale and the Valenia Dragon wings & tail. I considered the add-on bundle but I already had the wings & tail, and wanted the texture sets way more than I wanted the 2 bundle outfits.

    * Thanks to whoever posted that tip.

    It's more likely because they want to prevent people from getting one month for $18 to get a $200 coupon.

  • 3DSaga3DSaga Posts: 854

    Wow, that was an amazing $200 coupon!  Not only for the amount, but that the items I got are all relatively new. Not newly released, but still only a few months old. 

    Thanks, DAZ!

    Hello! 

    I logged into Install Manager and downloaded 6. At the bottom of the screen was a banner with a code for STUDIO-6-PREP. I tried to use it. I couldn't, and now I can't even find the banner again. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Jason

    Just make sure it's a Daz Original, not NEW and not Daz+ (look for purple + icon on the bottom left when browsing)

    Banner, DIM; STUDIO-6-PREP? Confusing. What's going on?
    I tried to renew my Premier subscription for 50% off. Does not state anywhere that there will be a discount. Wrote a ticket to be able to cancel the renewal process if necessary.
    Also nearly missed that Gift Card sales. Was not 10% for DAZ+ and 15% for Premier but added up to 24% with no purchase obligation attached. Quite rare!

    It's explained:

    We’re currently experiencing an issue where the 50% Annual Pass discount may not display correctly at checkout.
    Please note that you will still be charged the correct discounted amount.

    We apologize for the confusion and are actively working on a fix. Thank you for your patience and support.

    Also nearly missed that Gift Card sales. Was not 10% for DAZ+ and 15% for Premier but added up to 24% with no purchase obligation attached. Quite rare!

    There is a 10% discount on gift card if you own three Daily Dealz.

  • Rod Wise DriggoRod Wise Driggo Posts: 2,340

    Yup. My bad. Overlooked the 10% off for owning 3 Dealz. So it's that 10% + 15% Premier. Added up for me to 24% anyhow.

    With the Annual Pass. I did never get to checkout. I have a running subscription of Premier which was supposed to expire 6/20 as I cancelled. I renewd that one and now it says that it will be renewed on 6/21 for the regular amount. No checkout at any point. Therefore I filled the ticket.

    And you don't get your membership with the new sale. If you buy the subscription with the 50% off today, you are not entitled to the 100$ / 200$ coupon. smiley So it's only for those who are already DAZ+ or Premium members...devil (Before 4th of June)

    Hate to say this but you may be disappointed. Support has told me many times they can't retroactively apply discounts. I've never understood why but they're consistent about that. They can fix errors but if there's no purchase there's nothing to fix.

    Well I know for sure they haven't invented time travel - after yesterday's wallet drainage, I'm sure future self would like a word. :)

    Seconding you that I'd have liked to use 50% off Premier. It's paid for itself for sure, but renewing at $200/y (probably during a big autumn sale) is a tall order. I tried unsubscribing to see if I could use the offer, and it's a toggle since I'm not in my last month. So I left it toggled off and will go month to month when it expires, since annual offers occasionally come along.

    The bonus Daz Originals coupon was a nice perk though! I got three character bundles (only one with an owned item) and two outfit textures.

  • Rod Wise DriggoRod Wise Driggo Posts: 2,340

    So if I understand things right the following limitations apply to STUDIO-6-PREP
    -> no DAZ Originals new releases
    -> no DAZ+ items
    -> no usage of tokes to bring the price down before adding the coupon
    Did I miss anything?

  • garrett_3dgarrett_3d Posts: 635

    I think you have it there.

     

    From what I can see with the Daily Dealz, we're getting one $1.99 item a day and a handful of new releases but the rest of the stuff isn't rotating? No other coupon codes? How long is this sale going on for? I can't see me wanting much else from what is available.

    Yesterday tokens reduced the price of the DOs in my cart as did a non-DO debut new release. DOs were about 75% off after that if I recall, so I got quite a lot for my 200 coupon.

    The sale will last the whole month.

    Offers in "Today's specials" section usually change every day too, though today they are the same as yesterday. The featured artists will also change depending on the products released every day.

    The Daily Dealz appear to be adding 1/day but staying DD for 5 days at higher price points, so longer than previous similar schemes. If you're mainly using the DDs for the daily WL coupons, that means you only need a buy-in DD once a week or so. Which is what I've been doing. 

    Day 1=$1.99

    Days 2&3=$3.99

    Days 4&5=$4.99

    +1 you are DAZ+ or Prime before 4th of June.

     

    no usage of tokes to bring the price down before adding the coupon:

    Wrong, probably.  You should put in a Quick grab or outlet item in the cart, then the code and the tokens could work at the same time. (Tokens deactivate themselves if the price falls to $0, with a QG or outlet item in the cart; that never happens.)

    Yesterday tokens reduced the price of the DOs in my cart as did a non-DO debut new release. DOs were about 75% off after that if I recall, so I got quite a lot for my 200 coupon.

    I used mine late day, and noticed some chatter in the forums from earlier about the Daz team 'working on' the coupon. (Apparently it was deactivated for a little while as they adjusted its behavior.)

    This is how it worked for me:

    • no Daz Originals new releases
    • no Daz+ items
    • adding tokens broke the cart. refreshing the cart or proceeding to checkout auto-removed the applied tokens
    • adding out-of-scope items generally broke the cart (new releases, daily dealz, outlet store, quick grab)
    • having 3x daily dealz did not affect the price
    • owning items from bundles DID affect the price
    • being premier appeared to affect the price (35% off the base price for Daz Originals)

    I carted three bundles and two texture addons. Subtotal $333.95, minus $19.99 and $24.99 for bundled products I already owned, base price of unowned $288.97

    $288.97 * 0.65 (the 35% Premier discount multiplier) = 187.83

    Strangely, going above $200 (by adding just one more product) created a much bigger price swing than the difference of $200 and the additional base price.

     

  • HavosHavos Posts: 5,683

    From what I read elsewhere adding tokens is only an issue if the final cart price is zero. If you chuck in a cheap non-DO, then the tokens should apply to the whole cart.

    Kinda...

    I was D+ yesterday at roughly 4pm DazTime.

    I upgrade to Premier for the 50% discount, plus some dollars for what remained on my D+

    Half and hour ago, my 100/200 coupon was worth $200
