Confusing Platinum Club Sale

The footnotes for this sale (see screen shot attached) are very confusing. The ad states "An extra 10% off any purchases," and the footnote says, "Excludes DAZ originals, gift cards & new releases." The 50% off DAZ originals footnote states "50% discount replaces normal 30% PC+ discount." But then the line below that says, "Excludes new releases, PC+ items, gift cards & memberships." It seems that the bottom line contradicts the rest of the footnotes. Shouldn't 10% off ANY purchases mean anything in the store? If that's not what's meant, then the ad is badly written, especially when the footnote states that only DAZ originals, gift cards, and new releases are the only things excluded for the 10% discount for Platinum members. It does not state that PC+ items are excluded for the additional 10%. I put PC items into my cart, but I didn't get the extra 10% off, even though the footnote for that 10% does NOT exclude PC items. What am I missing here? I ended up removing them from the cart because I didn't get the 10% discount.

Please make these sales clear. There's a button at the bottom of the ad that says "Shop DAZ Originals," but the footnote states that DAZ Originals are excluded. This doesn't make sense. I'm totally confused!

    If you can find a PC+ item that is not also a Dad Original (or new), I think you should get the extra 10%. But I couldn't find any such product to test. Otherwise, the 50% dad original discount applies the same way the normal 30% PC+ members' discount does.

    This is one that is PC+ and not designated as "new" or DO: http://www.daz3d.com/artifacts-naga-hair

    And, yes, I was able to get the extra 10% discount on it.

    It's like this (and I absolutely agree with you on the clear labelling of those sales):

    10% discount: You get a discount off 10% a purchase of any item, as long as they are not new, or DAZ originals or gift cards. This means, you will get the extra 10% off of all PA items, which are not new, or DAZ Originals or PC+ items (because PC+ are always DO, as mentioned before).

    For example, this item currently on sale in dfast grab is neither new, nor a DAZ Original. So when you buy it, you will get an additional 10% off the purchase: http://www.daz3d.com/l-xv-furniture-reimagined-set-1

    50% Discount: This works on DAZ orighinals, and replaces the normal 30% discount you get as a PC+member. Again, it doesn't work on new items, PC+ items, the gift cards or PC+memberships. (there seems to be a glitch that gives the new DAZ Original also a 50% off discount, like Lee 7). An example of the 30% discount replacing the 50% discount would be this item: http://www.daz3d.com/renegade-hunter-for-genesis-2-female-s

    ALSO - Daz Original Savings!

    An extra 30% off a Daz Original person, place or things!

    With purchase of 1 or more new release(s) from ALL 3 groups above*

    ------------------

    I think this would have been more understandable:

    "With purchase of at least 1 new release from each of the 3 groups above"

    Besides it's bugged - depending on which items you choose, 2 is enough to get the discount.

    I'm beginning to believe that the people who forumulate DAZ sales criteria also write health insurance policies. surprise

    Taozen, it's bugged for me too: I've got one from each group in my cart and I'm not getting the additional 30% off.

    Note that there are 2 x 3 groups: one with New items from today and one with older items. You got to have 3 of the New items in the cart to get a discount on older items from the other group.

    Oh I did. In fact, I went so far as to add all of them into my shopping cart to see if that would change anything. It didn't.

    Tell me this though: Are you getting an extra 30% off on top of 50% off. Because for me the DAZ Original People are showing up as a straight 50% off in my shopping cart. That's without any other purchases. I suspect that this 50% off is a remnant from yesterday's sale (the one that replaced the regular 30% off DAZ Originals with 50% off). The difference is subtle. An extra 30% off stacked on top of 30% off works out to 51% off: 0.7 * 0.7 = .49. But I'm seeing 50% off.

    Initially I was hoping that the extra 30% off was stacking with the 50% off ( = 65% off). When it didn't, I just assumed yesterday's 50% off discount was blocking today's extra 30% off discount with purchase.

    I had a play wilh this sale and had -50% -30% (65%) showing on appropriate items (but decided the averaged out discount wasn't worth the outlay for me)
