  • They fixed the prices to no discounts, so it is as I said before, no discount, with coupon you get 3 items at 64%. Worst flash sale ever.

    Oh, well, there's always another sale.

    Discounts now show in the cart, not on the store page.

    It seems that the current sale works without the coupon code. Simply put the items into the cart.

    This also means, this offer is repeatable.

    Best regards

    So how is it a flash sale when the items were already on sale to begin with? 

    It's not working like that. The items in my cart are at store price,

    They were not. They are on sale because of this flash sale. (Well, except for the two free items... I have on idea what they are doing in the sale. :D)

    Items in the category are 50% off already due to the sale, discount changes to 57 or 64% when you add 2 or 3 in your cart.

    But the banner states "any item" minus the New and PC+ exceptions...

    Any item that is linked to that banner.

    Which makes no sense because there are no new items or PC+ items connected to that banner...

    I think they put the "no new or PC+" text on almost all the ads by default now though, in case they accidentally include a new or PC+ item for sales when they include a vendor's entire store. This isn't the first ad that includes that text when the related category was already correctly excluding those items. That said, changing "any" to "any item in this category" should have also been included.

    They're not showing in my cart, with or without the coupon. They're all related items, and they were discounting just fine until about 10 minutes ago.

    That's actually a pretty good flash sale. Most flash sales are 50 to 60% off.

    Try removing any cart entries from before they fixed it? Seems to be working fine with adding related items to cart now.

    Okay, now the coupon code is removed from the banner, but it now only works with the code (that is no longer there)?

  • GordigGordig Posts: 10,600

    It appears to work with UP TO three items. I had four items in my cart, and they were all at full price, and the coupon wasn't valid. I removed one item, and now they're all discounted.

    It works with 3 items added to cart, discount gets up to 64%.

    No coupon needed.

    Most flash sales don't limit the number of items and a lot of them are also for items that have some sort of discount from before.

    And since I've been here (Start of December) I've not seen a Flash sale under 50%, most being at 60%.

    For me, it would be a good sale if it was something like "get an ADDITIONAL 50% off"...that's what I think of when I see a flash sale and those are the ones I jump on. But like I said, unless I'm buying a new release that I just have to have, I won't buy something unless it's at least 75% off. That's why I really love the browser add-on...becuase you can see all the price variations the item has gone through for the past year. If a current price, even a flash-sale price, can't meet or beat the lowest price I see on that graph, I don't buy.

    They changed the ad copy to "select" items too. It's like we're their proofreaders and web testers. We should get paid, it's like a job. Over an hour spent on this!

    Same, unless I'm in a hurry to buy an item I won't go under75-80%.

    For items I really need right now I might go for 60-65% but those are very few.

    But we do get paid! We get the discount on the items! :D

    Ha! yeh, I don't get out of bed for less 70, and have trouble waking up before 75. :)

    Interesting. I just tried to make a second cart out of the flash sale, and it turns out you can buy each tier, for anyone who's interested in doing such a thing. I already used my 3-item cart, but I could still get the 1-item and 2-item discounts if I wanted.

    If you jumped on the offer at the start, there was no limit to the items so you could have bought any number of items for 64%. Before they realized the coupon was not working and reworked it.

    You joined during one of the yearly big sales. That's hardly representative of "regular operations" at Daz.

    Another sale that doesn't work as ad copy states. The Steampunk Gothic ad says buy 2 or MORE to get a discount but it only works with two. If you add a third item, the sale no longer works.

    Isnt it fun when you take the time to consider your purchases and fill your cart only to realize you wont be getting the deal thats advertized!? Oh, joy!

    Same experience here...

    I checked out with two items. I tried to see if it would work a second time, but it doesn't. Still no idea if the ad copy is wrong or the sale is messed up. And I still can't download Leroy through DIM (but I could install through Connect, which I hate.) When Ifirst joined Daz it was much smaller, but everything worked! Now EVERY SINGLE DAY, something or multiple things don't work. And it's just considered normal.

    The Stonemason sale stacks with the gothic blink sale, FYI.

    Steam and Gothic sale does not work. Three items in cart and from the items listed.

  • CybersoxCybersox Posts: 9,281

    Same here - Steam and gothic sale only works with two items, despite stating specifically that it works with two or more items.  It's like they're intentionally screwing this stuff up just to mess with us. 

  • CybersoxCybersox Posts: 9,281

    And is anyone else msytified as to why a Steampunk and Gothic sale includes a prehistoric aquatic reptile

  • Thanks, Gordig!!!

    I tried three items at first and then two items and it doesn't work.

    The fill your toolbelt flash sale is only one that seems to work with two items. But not the Steampunk and Gothic one.

    Too bad I already own all the Stonemason items in the sale, but I did get two nice Ant Farm releases for a song.  Pity they messed the sale up so badly, as there were a few items that I originally had in my cart and put back because I'm just getting tired of filing cusotmer service tickets on every other order.  Which, to be fair, customer service has always granted with minimal issue, but having several hundred dollars floating in DAZ limbo for weeks is a royal pain in the posterior.

    The sales are literally working the OPPOSITE of the ad copy. You CAN'T get more than two and you CAN use PC+ items in the sale. This is nuts!

    No extra 60% off anime and horror flash sale.  Banner still active. The price you see in the list is the price you get - including zero discount.

     

    Does work with just 2 items as mentioned above. Too bad I wanted six. Oh well. Empties the cart.
