Thank you - they seem to be working now
Yeah, they register spending when money changes hands, rather than when purchases are checked out. There was a GC sale during the festival, so I imagine that counts? On the other hand, if you bought most of the stuff you really wanted during the festival, then getting a discount code at the end means you're likely spending additional money on stuff you figured you could live without.
Yep; but some of us bought most of our credit BEFORE the sale. So, we are just out of luck.
This is indeed incredibly frustrating.
Because I'm not in the US, I end up buying almost everything through gift cards, which I try to buy in fairly large denominations when the exchange rates are good in order to avoid getting screwed over on the currency conversion and commission, but this means that Daz chooses to see me as an infrequent buyer, so I miss out on a lot of offers, even if I'm actually turning that credit into purchases regularly.
I'm actually going to efforts to be able to spend more, but Daz is choosing to make me want to spend less.
perhaps DAZ needs to change from point of sale to when you buy "products" for the tabulation of savings and coupon offers on gift cards. Thy can still use the purchase time as normal accounting, but not for offers.
And some of us bought ALL our credit one day before the sale. :D Ah well, there's always another sale.
This morning it could. Don't know if that's intentional.
That is essentially what I did. I just topped it off with a small $50 gift card. Using my Babina coupon. It was disappointing enough that I could have gotten a better discount on the credit by waitinng a day or two for the Babina coupon; but now I am again missing out because I didn't wait and buy the most of my credit with the Babina coupon.
I got a purple banner - to use the same 20% off coupon to buy Silas that I...already used to buy Silas. Only now it looks like there's an additional 10% off? Great.
I think I'm about ready to give up with this sale and just hope the next one works out the bugs. This one just feels frustrating to me.
Oddly enough, I don't feel bad about not getting anything this time. Probably because I managed to get so much during this sale already. Looking at my wishlist, I could buy a bunch more items now if I had the coupon, but ah well.
The more shocking part was when I logged in to see what special reward awaits (as per the banner) after spending almost a thousand dollars on the sale, and... there was absolutely nothing. :D
Will today be the last day of the sale then? I got a coupon that expires Tuesday, September 24th, 2019 23:59 (UTC -6 MDT)
I doubt it. It usually lasts at least until the end of September, but more recently until the middle of October.
I'm not too sure about the store credit hypothosis. I got a 7% banner, and I've spent less than $20 of "real money" in the sale. The rest of my (rather modest) purchases were through store credit. It's like Daz Grammar, Daz Math, and Daz Midnight: anything goes!
Yes. If I had got a 1% off banner, at least it was something. I would not have taken advantage it, but at least I would not have wasted time logging in and out wondering why there was nothing.
it would have been NICE if the 17 percent off coupon code lasted until this coming weekend. i dont plan to buy anything more until friday :-( lol
Daz said that's how it works. Of course, they can change it at any time.
But you did spend some real money during the sale! The would have been remiss if they hadn't thanked you at all.
I didn't have a big store credit balance at the start of the sale, so I spent $ and also bought another GC during on the day they became available. That netted me a 22% coupon. I'll have to wait a bit, and try not to forget about it, because the PAs whose stuff I really want aren't on sale today. Also, the day's still young.
During the PA sale offers are usually one day only.
I agree that this was pretty weird to announce “specific discount” on the sale page if there was not something for everybody. But I admit I often don’t understand Daz marketing...
This is Daz's accounting method. When you give them money, they debit Cash, and credit Member Store Credit, or whatever they call it. So what matters is when they take in the money because that's when they recognize revenue. If you notice on your order history, when you spend store credit only, the amount billed shows as $0.00, and it's based on billings that coupons are handed out.
We also get one coupon for buying Silas's Pro Bundle on the day of release, but we don't if we buy it later, even if we buy it for more money. He'll still get added to our total Pro Bundles for that coupon. For that, billing date doesn't enter into it, I think? I can't check that because I paid for it with cash.
Yes, and that severly penalizes those of us who bought most if not all of our store credit just before the sale.
marketing ...
If people got 20% off (just making that up, I don't remember exactly) a GC before the sale, and aren't getting a banner, that's not fair if the people who got that same amount off (say 20%) DURING the PA sale did get a banner.Those folks would be double-dipping on discounts. (Good for them, BUT not fair to others.) I'm not in either boat, I got a good discount banner oar to row with so to speak, as gift cards were mostly not involved. Mods, is there any way to check and see if that is indeed what's happening? This wonky awarding of banners really erodes confidence in sales and seems a slap in the face to loyal customers.
On the other hand, people who bought GCs front-loaded their discounts. I paid direct for most of my purchases with only a little GC goodness, so it kind of evens out. Besides, at this point, I've made almost all the purchases I'm going to make, and the stuff I still want to buy might not show up again before my coupon runs out, so the benefit isn't as huge as people make it out to be.
While I'm sad the $100 I spent in the past 3 weeks doesn't count toward getting a banner discount, I bought that $100 ON a discount with a discounted Gift Card. So, yeah, getting that discounted GC and then getting a banner on top of it would be (as pointed out earlier) "double-dipping". So I'm not really sad about it. I can see why Daz wouldn't want to give, say 20% discount, on a Gift Card and then give you another discount on top of that just for spending it. lol That would lose them too much money, I would think. I think right now, it seems pretty far, as long as you're getting a discount on your Gift Cards it likely evens out pretty much. That's just my two cents though, I could be wrong, of course. :)
This would be true if we did not have gift card sales during the sale as well. But we did. The same 20% off that was just one day before the PA sale. People who got a discount on the gift card during the PA sale, now get another discount on top of the discounted store credit. People who got the gift card a day before the PA sale, did not get today's discount.
But they do. If you bought the gift card at 20% off during the PA sale (I believe there were two such sales with coupons, and maybe one with a smaller discount without a coupon), you also got that 22% discount today on top of that.
I'm confused. I received a 12% off banner deal good until end of 9/24. some got less i guess? the ad says to log in to see your exclusive discount. Whatever it is, its for you exclusively, based on your purchases during the PA sale so far? So from whenever the PA sale started until now. so whatever purchased prior to that date, it doesn;t count. I didnt buy a GC when they were on sale, so i missed getting that discount. i think overall things work out equitably for everyone.
