    I don't have any cheap enough new items wishlisted to make that work... I guess that I'll have to buy whatever this is leading up to without a cheap gift card if I like it enough laugh

    4 x $2.09 = $8.36 (4 cheapest new items)

    which you can save on a $46.45 giftcard. If you buy a giftcard worth more than $46.45, then you can save.

    I already have them, except for one. I could make it work with some of the 2.99 items and a slightly more expensive gift card, but then I'd run into the items I already didn't pick the first time I saw them, and I'd spend more than I want to even with the savings added in. So... I'm going to be a good girl and pass on the GC, and wait and see what's coming (besides, the credit card doesn't reset until Friday angel)

    If you're only after the discount, then you could buy the $2.09 items again, even if you already have them.

    Nah, that's where it gets too silly for me.

    Here's a post in my thread that you may want to look at. I haven't quite figured out what's doing what though, and not bothering to frankly!

    which 4 items are you referring to as aren't those PC prices which don't qualify for the new releases to trigger the gift card?

    I just tested, and 4 PC new releases, plus at least one Librarian purchase, triggers additional ironman store discounts. EDIT: BUT...you're supposed to get more off those Librarian stores, the more Librarian items you buy- and there was no difference when I had one or two Librarian items in the cart.

    I don't see a restriction on the GiftCard sale. They CAN be PC+ items.

    * ITEMS MUST BE IN CART SIMULTANEOUSLY FOR DISCOUNT TO APPLY. DISCOUNT EXCLUDES NEW RELEASES AND PC+ ITEMS. 
    (Some whacky symbol here)  EXCLUDES: NEW RELEASES, PC+ ITEMS, GIFT CARDS, AND MEMBERSHIPS.

    You needed to scroll down below the images. That first * applied to the gift card.  (Edit- that isn't me shouting at you, that's a copy/paste)  wink

    The additional discounts are not applied to PC+ items, however it does not state that PC+ items can not be trigger items. They are working for me in the cart I have at the moment.

  • NovicaNovica Posts: 23,923

    That makes sense, as it says the DISCOUNT excludes new releases. It's a really good deal then.

    But only if you want the new releases. With 4 low cost ($2.09 to $3.29) PC+ items and a hundred dollar Gift Certificate in the cart I had a total cost of $92. So, if all the new items were "throwaways" it would only be an 8% effective discount on the Gift Card

    No Charlie- look at the deals you get for the featured stores. If you look a bit further down from my linked post over in my thread, I got items for 50% off (average) but much higher than that too. Ironman items were $3-$5   I got the hoodie for $3.83, Sleepwear for $4.86, etc. 

  • donovancolbertdonovancolbert Posts: 1,421

    I dunno... I took a screen shot. I got 4 items that I wasn't dying for, but that I could use, and a gift card, for less than the price of the gift card. 

    Seems like a winning deal to me. I would have preferred to get 20% on the gift card, and to have only had to buy one item I didn't need, but didn't mind, to trigger it. That would have been even cooler. But it still seems like a no brainer... 

    "You're going to give me 4 items for free and knock off a couple of bucks on a gift card?" 

    Plus I just found 3 more freebies in the Freebie thread that had a total of $55 retail. One of those was probably the weekly PC+ freebie, but... whatever... 

    I dunno, today seemed like a good day to get my gift card ready for March Madness, assuming that there are no sales between then and now that really trigger my fancy, I'll have some store credit to play with. It isn't that far away, after all. 

     

  • donovancolbertdonovancolbert Posts: 1,421

    Let's see... Misty Hair for $3.49, Colors for Misty Hair for $2.09, Traveler for Genesis 3 Males for $3.49, One Way Ticket for $2.09 (how can you go wrong with hair and casual clothes for Genesis 3 Male? Who ever has enough wardrobe for the male characters?)... 

    $82 gift card for $67.24

    Total, $78.40, and now I've still got $82 to spend... 

    Better than if I had spent $82, got no content, and only had $82 to spend once it was all said and done.

    Just a Heads Up on today's Hip Hop sale... everything today is a Daz Original, and everything today is Encrypted Daz Connect!!! If you're still using DS 4.8, you won't be able to use anything in today's sale.

  • dreamfarmerdreamfarmer Posts: 2,128

    It also looks like the Related Items aren't discounted yet...

  • NathNath Posts: 2,940

    All encrypted. Okay, now I am glad I didn't get a GC. I'm saving a lot more by not buying.

  • boisselazonboisselazon Posts: 458

    I still have my january daz coupon: phhhhh dunno what to spend. 

  • AtiAti Posts: 9,182

    Wow, and I thought the only update I would need to do to my encrypted items script is to remove the items that are no longer encrypted. Script updated to reflect today's state. Let me know if I missed anything.

    Yeah, I did too. I just threw this and this in the cart along with the "PlatClub" coupon and called it a day. It's the first time in the 9+ months since I've started buying stuff here that I've not spent a penny the entire month and haven't used both coupons. This was definitely a let down month for me - the most disapointing month so far. It's ok though, I got a lot of fun stuff over the PC+ sale and the holiday sales in December so I'm pretty happy with what I have. Here's hoping that next month will be better though.

  • cherpenbeckcherpenbeck Posts: 1,416

    Encrypted- so today I won't buy anything totally new. Well, it's nice to keep some money ...

    I find it amusing that DAZ used hip-hop lexicon most popularized by Blondie before Hip Hop went mainstream to market their Hip Hop sale. :)

    DRM, like Eminem,
    DAZ wondering where their sale numbers have been... 

    ;) 

    Um... 

    Word... to your mother.

    Not much for me either. I do still need to find something to spend my PLATCLUB coupon for DOs though Maybe this

    Was the Bundle Bonanza only for the weekend? None of the discounts are coming off today with a Bundle Bonanza item in my cart. Sigh...If it's not in effect any more, why the heck is the banner still up?
