    I feel as if they should not attach "Platinum Club" to new releases that are not, in fact, PC+ items.

    No, but they are DAZ Originals, so PC+ members get their 30% plus intro discount. Apparently that's close enough to count — where "close" counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, nukes, and DAZ sale conditions...

    Which DO sale do you mean?

    Well, considering I only paid around $12.60 for a pc membership (and I bought several at that price) I wouldn't sweat it. They usually have more membership deals in September, IIRC. Half price isn't bad but I think you can do better (if your membership isn't about to expire anytime soon?) 

    Ah ... I didn't see the qualifier on the code.  I was going to extend my membership.  But no biggie.  Sounds like I need to cancel if I want to take advantage of the savings. Even so, I hope they get the DO sale working.

     

    The summer clearance that is still listed under the current banners.  Zev0 and Beauty and the Beast.

    The same thing happened yesterday, and one of the mods sent in a report. It was fixed eventually. As long as there is a current promotion advertising the clearance sale, such as Zev0's Bend Control page, they have a obligation to honor the sale. But with the main banner down, maybe the guys maintaining the website have to manually flip a digital switch... Anyway, don't empty your cart just yet. It looks like you still have today, (Beauties & the Beasts promo,) and tomorrow, (Tune-up promo, aka Zev0 Genesis 8 Bend Controls,) before it goes away.

    Well, I did pair down the cart to items that I really think I'll use in the near future.  If the sale is restored, I'll get a few other items.  But, by changing the focus from the big bargain sale to a few items that I really want, I've gone from $120 to $50.  So, it might be for the best.

    Drat, didn't notice the small "for non-PC+ members only" flash on the actual sale page, maybe this should be on the main store page rotating banner as well?

    "For non-PC+ members only"

    Me: It's not like I was planning on extending my PC+.

     

    Why do this?

    Its the third time in a row they have done this now, my membership runs out in 3 days I'm not renewing at full price when non members get a 50% discount.

    Right, great way of inviting long-term customers to renew their annual memberships.

    On the other hand, most discounts will return sooner or later and I will survive fine without it.

    I'll probably survive better without - a lot less incentive to spend.

    I find the discount code you have to use a bit strange, ie "luvin-pc". That to me implies someone that is "loving" the PC, ie an existing member, would use the code in order to "love" it a bit longer. However, since we existing members are locked out of that code, perhaps a more appropriate code would be "wanttoluv-pc" or "givemeago-pc" ?

    it's now gone from those two sales, so I'd say it's done.

    Other than the 5% deal a while back, has there been any gift card sale? I'm itching to get another one, but haven't seen a sale in ages.

    To be honest, I'm surprised they didn't do that Sunday when people were asking about the sale. But when they extended it Sunday, I sort of expected they would continue it for the duration of the two current promos featuring the Clearance sale. At Daz3d, he who hesitates (on sales stuff,) misses out. Until next time, of course. There's always another sale!

    OK, so Michael 8 is out.  And they are throwing in the previous Michael bundles with the Michael 8 bundles.

    When Victoria 8 came out, we saw the spiffy orange banner that gave us credit for any previous bundles that we may already have owned, in the form of a 10% off for each bundle that we already owned..  For those of us that acquired Victoria 5 with Carrara Pro, we eventually were allowed to get credit for the V5 pro bundles included with that purchase.

    I'm hoping that we can get credit for our M5 bundles this time around, so I'm posting this up now, should we see a similar orange banner again r.e. Michael 8...

    No banner here, but having M4, M6 and M7, putting M8 in the cart gets a 61% discount. And I could get a free M5.

    This deal was a lot better when I didn't have most previous models (the V8 deal). This way it's not too inviting to me.

    PS: There actually IS a message in the exclusive offers message box, although it only mentions 2 previous pro bundles, even though I have 3.

    I hope not - my budget just got wiped out for the month (otoh, they'd still be on intro price when my credit card resets)

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    ha, my two week budget got wiped out on oot's iray hair shaders yesterday, a swam hair today, and oot's G8 mega wardrobe and the cool new "booties" today. I'm done for two weeks. LOL. (mind you, my two week budget is about $30 so...) but i figured with that mega wardrobe for G8, I won't need to buy anything at all fr her ever again (cos i don't like her and only use her when i have to LOL)

    The coupons aren't working right with him. It works fine if he's by himself:

    But once you add the "free" figures, it takes away most of the coupon:

    He jumps from $16.03 to $20.41 when you add the "Free" figures.

    There is a known glitch in the cart where coupons do not work correctly if you have any free items in there. It's been like that forever and has never ever been fixed. If you purchase him, contact support and explain you couldn't put the free items in because of the coupon glitch and they SHOULD put them into your account. Keep the screenshots to send them.

    Thank you, Jaki! If I get him (which I think I might because HAWT! lol) I'll definitely put in a ticket about it. Strange that it's an ongoing issue and still not fixed - must be tangled deep in some coding somewhere. I hear trying to fix coding can be like trying to untangle a giant ball of christmas lights with fragile bulbs. You pull one strand to fix it and that ends up breaking a bulb something else. lol

    Hmm me buying Michael 7 pro bundle 10 days ago was a bad decision, I paid $27 but do now get a $6 discount on the michael 8 pro bundle. $21 loss.

    If you're not happy with a purchase, you have 30 days to return it.

    Yeah, once again, I own M4, M5, M6 and M7 pro... and I'm getting an extra 20% of M8 for my previous purchases? 

    Which means, I'm sticking to Generation 4 and Gen1, 2 and 3 for the foreseeable future. 

    Michael 8 and Victoria 8 just don't make any sense to me. 

  • LlynaraLlynara Posts: 4,772

    I'm also seeing 20%, even though I own them all. Seems like my M4 Pro and Carrara (M5 Pro) purchases aren't counting.

    Here's what I got:

    Thank you for your past purchase of 3 previous Michael Pro Bundles! Michael 8 is the most backward compatible Michael ever.
    So here's 30% OFF* Michael 8 Pro Bundle and 30% OFF* featured related content to use together with your older version(s). Come see all the new possibilities!

    Okay, I think I see what the problem is. Even though I have "Michael 4 Pro Bundle" showing up as purchased, I didn't actually purchase it as a standalone product, I got the bigger "M4 Hero Pro Pack" which includes the Pro Bundle (not just the items from it, but the actual bundle).

    or not... :)
