    I'm wondering how long will the "Patients" coupon last for. The 10 dollars is a nice amount, but if I could save that for something I really, really want later on I'd prefer to save it. But I don't want to lose out on it if it's not going to last the day.

    Since it's an unplanned apology for the cloud flare issues this morning, I wouldn't expect it to last beyond midnight DAZ time.

    That's a really hard one to guess. As Cybersox said it easily could be very transient and disapear at midnight like many of the other flash and coupon sales that start mid-day. But it is also possible that DAZ would want to leave it up for a day or two so that people who gave up checking the site when it was down will have a better chance to see it.

  • It's not good on new items, so I feel like you won't gain a lot by waiting.

    True. The only advantage would be if some non-new PC+ items were to go on sale tomorrow; so that you could get more for your money. As for me I decided not to take a chance and grabbed my free items today.

    I'm with everyone else here.  There's a good chance that it will disappear around Daz midnight, or it might stay.  Unless they include expiration dates in sales, we never really know.

    For today's sale, though, in my case Sisi qualified as my 'new' item to qualify for the $30 off, and as I previously mentioned, I had grabbed a new item a couple of days ago, so the extra 70% off kicked in.  Ended up spending less than $3 to get Sisi and $30.01 of DO's.  Don't know if that'll work in your case, but it's a thought if anyone else is in a similar situation.

  • I just grabbed a texture for a less recent outfit after sorting by price and getting to the pages under $10 which still avoided PC+

    the coupon codes do not work for me... DAZ-O-4-ME or DAZ -ME-30 ... always says coupon code not known...

    did you get them to work ?

    thanks

    I'm seeing a space in your second code.  should be DAZ-ME-30.  That's the code I used.  I didn't try the other code, as I assumed that you can't do both from the sales language...

    If all else fails, you can always open up a support ticket noting that the coupon code isn't working for you.

    i bought a new PC+ item at $2.09 which triggered the $30 free deal ... then the Sisi was $2.xx with 70% off. I bought her as my madness qualifier and then 5 $2.20 items. So today I spent just under $15 and got 11 items. not too bad. I've doine better in other sales though.

    Followup.  Make sure that you aren't grabbing PC+ items or new items with the coupon codes, otherwise it'll show as 'not valid'.  Looks like you can use both codes.

    Don't just assume; Push buttons and try them out. As it happens I was able to use both codes. First I got Rynne 8 Pro bundle for $12.50 using today's bonus item and the DAZ-ME-30 coupon. Then I was able to use DAZ-O-4-ME in another order get a couple of DAZ originals free.

    ...this is going to be rough as so many of what will be "key items" are either G8 or dForce, neither of which I use as I still work with G3 and have old hardware.

    So no new items today, how is that going to work. do we have to start again tomorrow ?

    Yep, I used the coupon after reading the other replies and it's a good thing I did, it's no longer on the top of the page.

  • I am left with a very old fashioned feeling. I am going to save during the Mad March sale by not spending, rather than by exercising higher level mathematics to spend a fraction of the additional money I wouldn't otherwise have spent on things I might like but am not entirely sure about. I have a DS wish list, but then I also have one for quite a number of other things, and my CNC lathe wishlist is calling rather more loudly than it did over the last year.

    Has the site changed over? It's 3:35am my time and even with a hard refresh, I am seeing yesterday's page.

  • Not changed over for me.

    They are repeating yesterday's sale for people who missed out because of the site problems.

    The apology coupons disappeared and the Fast Grabs changed.  It may be that the time cycle on the daily promotion changeover got messed up as a result of the long dead period yesterday.  Or maybe DAZ ran out of new products. Had to happen eventually. ;) 

    It's all madness, in the end.

  • even though it is Shrove Tuesday already 

    and I crave and haven't got any pancakes crying

    it is still February 25 and a leap year so March Madness should get a good months worth minus one early bonus day

    What is the spelling of this 'makeup' aka 'patients' coupon?

    I did not get an eMail about such a coupon? It's for the server being down all the time I suppose, no?

    use this link for the DAZ-O-4-ME

    https://www.daz3d.com/daz-originals#filter_platClub=0&filter_new=0&filtered=1

    use the same link, for the DAZ-ME-30

    https://www.daz3d.com/daz-originals#filter_platClub=0&filter_new=0&filtered=1

    but this time add one or more "New" items in your carts of any sort. You'll now it's new if the icon for the product link has a green diagonal banner across the top right hand corner saying "New"

  • And it helps if you grow your own vegetables.... and of course, don't tell anyone, there are fewer cats in the neighbourhood since I moved in.... so this allows me to save for more DAZ items.

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    not a single thing on my wishlist is on sale.

    March Madness used to be a much bigger deal than it has been for the past handful of years. But there have still usually been some splendid new releases. 

    Just, please Ghod, don't make it another punchcard sale. Nobody wants those!

    if the bogo

    I ... just go

    +1 and +1

    please make products either on sale (just by themselves)... or not.
    no super complicated deals with fantasy conditions and % that nobody understands which are also guaranteed to snafu and produce gazillions of errors nobody understands either, no" bargain deals" that are only a bargain when you also purchase a million other items (you actually neither want nor need) in the same cart or the same day/week/month or those annoying "freebies/supercheap items" 3-days time frames which make you furious when you just purchased for a fortune... 4 days earlier.

    a simple, customer-friendly sale, a bit like a few years ago - even nobody expects any more the fantastic bargains and prices we had back then - to which it is pleasant to participate and brings us customers more fun than stress, frustration, wastes of time/energy trying to grasp what is meant every day, and unending queueing with a backlogged overwhelmed support...

    ...meh Wisconsin has been consistently defeating teams with winning records (including a couple top ranked ones) though still isn't ranked, but has slipped downwards in tournament bracket standings.

    Bugger, nothing but a beauty contest I tell you with little respe-...

    ...oops,,wrong March Madness. apologies.

    Well, today really wasn't what at all I was expecting, but getting a second round of #10 and $30 coupons was a nice consolation prize.  Between yesterday's and today's, I picked up one G8F outfit, two sets and a bunch of texture sets for a total expenditure of a couple of dollars, which definitely beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.. 

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,909

    free always good, but I'm finding it difficult to get $40 worth of items. i guess that means I have too many already.
