    Here's a quirky little sales glitch.

    There's a purple banner offer that people like me who have spent far too much money this month qualify for, which includes a coupon that gives a generous discount on 5 items or less.

    So I loaded up my cart with 5 items. My items included 3 new and still new items, which entitles me to $30 worth of free selected DAZ stuff.

    Except ... as soon as I add any of the free DAZ items, that takes me over the 5 item limit, and instantly the coupon isn't valid any more. So I'm forced to choose: 5 items, or a discount, or $30-worth of freebies, but not all three.

    I'm not greatly bothered -- I've reached the point where I have to struggle to find things I want in that DAZ selection -- but there may be people whose careful shopping plans are disrupted by this.

     

    P.S. Thank you for the purple banner, DAZ.

  • Ok... so this sale and coupon probably had the opposite effect DAZ intended. Instead of making me feel thanked, it made me feel rushed and a little cheated. 

    I wanted 3 new releases, which made me eligible for the $30 in credit. I actually wanted 5 new releases. But if I got 5 new releases, I couldn't get ANY free items. I saw that small print after I posted the coupon here. 

    So, I had to dump two of the new items, getting 3 new items and PART of the total of the $30 in credit I wanted (I would have just taken one of the more expensive items, but I pretty much own all of those already). 

    As far as the UTC - 6 MDT... I guess it is back to Timezones for Dummies for me. Mea culpa. I just read it as 6 MDT. 

    It was like this sale was a disincentive to buying the new items. The best way to go would have been to buy discount legacy items - the Gen 3, 2, 1 and Victoria 4 stuff, get the discount on 5 of those items, and skip the new items and the new item discount. 

    It was really frustrating. It should have stacked. Up to 5 paid items (Free items do not count to cart toal). 

    I guess we're even for all the times I took advantage of DAZ when you were having glitches every evening. 

    :P 

    You still got my money. Just not as much as I thought I was going to spend. So... Win/Win, I guess. At least I got to support some of the PAs who put out work I like. 

     

  • LOL. What Bytescapes said. Meh. It should have stacked with the $30 in free items. :)

    Hm, what's this (Lollypop, top left, free) ?  It's in my Wishlist as the first item but I don't recall having seen it before or added it to the Wishlist, I'm pretty sure the last one I added was number two to the right.  Clicking on it I get a 404.

    I've had that happen when the item has been removed from the store for some reason. Which seems odd for a G8 item but maybe there was some problem with it and it will be back soon. I think something similar happened a few months ago.

     

    ETA: I'd missed that it was something you hadn't added to the wishlist. So I really have no idea what's up with it.

    Well I might have added it by accident, I don't know.  But you're probably right about it having been removed since it isn't in the store.  Thanks!

  • I really appreaciated the last 2 purple banner coupons I got.

     I was one of the people who got a 7% one last week--but I wasn't able to spend much during the earlier part of the sale, so not surprised it was a small discount. I was pleasantly surprised to get any coupon, and it on top of the PA sale discounts enabled me to get things off my wishlist. Today's 30% off banner helped me get a few more wishlisted items. Thanks Daz!

    October 1st "THANK-YOU-5"  code is invalid.

  • You didn't use it yesterday, did you? Otherwise I'd say give the store a little longer to settle down and try again.

    I had the same experience. I thought I'd come in here and see if we still get to use it today, if we used it yesterday. It is, after all, the exact same coupon code.

    P.S.: It's the wording, "Final Weekend Catch-up Sale"  smiley

    Thank-you-5 isn't working for me. I did use it yesterday, though and it's using the same code today.
  • Cris PalominoCris Palomino Posts: 12,487

    There isn't a second coupon; the time frame in which it can be used was extended. It is a one-time use coupon.

    That's a joke, or?

    What is the meaning of "One day only!" in "One day only! Get 30% OFF"?

    I got a new purple banner.

    Well, I've  got two of the still new in the cart to test things- 

    https://www.daz3d.com/iray-woodworx-shaders
    https://www.daz3d.com/carpathian-hair-for-genesis-8

    so with two, they are supposed to go to 50%. Then I get another 10% off the entire order with a 201.00 gift card in the cart. I ASSUME that's what it means when it says and an extra 10% off- but the way they have it, it makes it sound like I get an extra 10% off due to the gift card, AND another 10% off if I buy two or more. But I know what they meant.  Anyway- 
    Then an extra 30% off that. It isn't working on  Carpathian Hair. 

    23.95 reg price, with 2 things in cart from New Releases (the woodworx shader is the second one)  half off would be 11.98. Then with 30% off (paying 70%) thats 11.98 x .70= 8.38. THEN my 10% off due to gift card 8.38 x .90 (paying 90 percent) that should be 7.54    It's coming up 10.78 and only 55% off. 

    The woodworx shaders is 19.95 x .50 (half price due to getting two still new releases) is 9.97 then 30% off is x.70= 6.98 then 10% due to gift card makes it  x .90 (paying 90 percent) equals 6.28 and it's showing correctly. So I know my math is right on Carpathian Hair.

    In short, if folks are overwhelmed with this math, you should be getting about 70 to 72% off if it's 40% off and you are buying two still new releases, or two of the just released today, AND have the 30% off banner, and a 201.00 gift card or more.

    Carpathia needs reporting.

    Why was new banner pushed out then? That seems a bit misleading and confusing.

    It's not misleading, it's an addendum to the original, saying they extended the deadline for using it.

    You're getting an extra 10% on the two debut in your cart. I recommend you get the Daz Deals addon for your browser. It will help you see the discounts.

    Is the extra 30 for the Thank-you-5 if you got the coupon and didn't use it yesterday?

    Novica, is this what you get for the calculations? https://www.omnicalculator.com/finance/triple-discount?c=USD&v=first:50!perc,second:30!perc!l,input:43.90,third:10!perc!l

    50% for two still new, 30% for the coupon, 10% for the gift card purchase of 201.00?
