    Wonder how much you had to spend to get the banner? Obviously more than I could.

    I got one and I didn't spend much. Very strange. Not sure I'll use it. If it were me, I'd give the banner to more active participants.

    Yeah, same.

  • Banner: I didn't get one either, and I spent at least double what I usually spend in 2 months (MM was about 7 weeks long). Granted, that was *only* about the full base tier price of a character bundle. Plus I bought New items, which I seldom do.

    ****

    LDs: I haven't had the luck some of you have. Monday, I finally got a WL item in LD - my first since at least the beginning of MM) Secret Service Hair for <$2 so I grabbed it. The rest of the time, it's been mostly stuff I'm not interested in. I did get a number of core figures or their bundles in LD, many G8 or 9, but again, none I really wanted.

     

  • Yeah, that is weird. There's nothing I particularly need to buy right now anyway - having bought a giant mass of stuff during MM - but I am oddly among those not getting a "thanks for taking part in MM" promo banner.

    I received no banner and I've spent a lot during March Madness.  Curious.  Curious, indeed.

    Quick eyeball at my purchase history, and I'd forgotten about that one grab bag day. So I guess it wasn't ALL lightning deals, but overall I spent less than $20. I could see it if they'd meant it as a "hey here's a deal since MM clearly didn't do it for you" (not that the deal does it for me, either) but...

    I've made a mention on the reporting thead, and hopefully it'll get switched to the folk who earned the offer.

    I bough a ton during MM but I dont intend to buy anything today banner or no banner ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • butterflyfishbutterflyfish Posts: 1,483

    I spent a decent amount and got the banner. Not sure if I'm going to use it, though. I'm feeling kind of meh toward what's on offer for a decent price.

  • NathNath Posts: 2,942

    Have the banner now, but can't figure out what it's supposed to work on - the Shop Now button just leads to the shop. Unless you have to be +/premier for it to work.

    Oh well, I spent more than enough in the last weeks.

    Yes, banner has now been redone and seems to be right. You have three codes, with diffreent exclusions as shown by the symbols) but new items are included, so you can make up to three orders with different amounts off up to five items with different limits.

    What does the banner code work on? Got the banner and message in my account.

    Tried variations of the code on my newly topped up wishlist but get invalid code error.

    Message says storewide, but excludes daz+, memberships etc, none of those in basket. Tried each code, pretty sure I participated in March Madness almost every day, and on good weekends cleared hefty wishlists.

    Should change this thread title to just another buggy sale.

    The only thing I am interested in is a Gift Card, which the 10% and 20% coupons do not exclude, however they do not work, I am getting Coupon Invalid for both MM-GOT-ME-10 and MM-GOT-ME-20.

    Since the banners don't work, then those that missed out have missed nothing.

    I got the banner and it works fine for me...put 5 items in the cart, viola, 30% off. The 5 items in my cart - 2 new releases and 3 old range from 51-79% off with no other savings, tokens, whatever.

    Change of subject, I see they added Cheyenne to the bundles, also Julia. Suppose a new bundle is released tomorrow? I would use the word dropped, but still can;t figure out how that usage came to be... I dropped my beer, or watch that skydiver drop. Kindsa like everything had to be unpacked there for awhlie. I haven't been on a trip in years.

    I usually wait until the end of the month to use my free bundle coupon.  I've been fortunate that the newer ones are better options for me compared to the older ones usually offered.  Oh, and I believe the right vernacular would be, "Suppose a new bundle drops tomorrow?"

    Codes seem to be working now.

  • I didn't have the MM Participant banner or message until just a short time ago - so check again if you didn't have one earlier. Note that each coupon has different exclusions & they expire today (4/16) at Daz Midnight.

    Like some others, I am not sure if I will use any or all of them. I might try to use the 10% one on a GC, since it doesn't exclude them.

     

    ***

    In addition to Julia & Cheyenne, Hanako & Genghis Khan are now part of the Premier selection. I hope Daz releases a new character I really like tomorrow or next week, or at least they offer an Expanded Selection deal. I haven't been enthused about the new releases after Sylvia, but there's still older ones I want.

    In case I don't fall for the next figure & there's no temporary expansion, which of the current selection should I consider? I own Vicky, Willow, Lahr, Nikolai, & Minerva. I am slightly interested in Freja & Thimor.

    If the 20% worked on GC then I might've used it, but since it doesn't then this seems really lackluster as a "thank you"

  • WendyLuvsCatzWendyLuvsCatz Posts: 40,085

    I got it and it is very good but I still cannot afford what I want due to the exchange rate.

    That sadly is out of DAZ's hands crying

    For versitility, Thimor has a couple extra characters that use him as part of their base... YMMV on if that's an incentive

    I'm debating as I'm fresh out of gift card balance. I definitely would at 20% off.

    No banner for me. I'll go back to wishlisting. Sorry, PAs. I bought stuff. Not much of a thank you.

    ..yeah pretty lacklustre selection today, The "Classic" artist's group was primarily dominated by 3 PA stores that comprised about 12 pages out of 20. 

    However I did find a couple useful items in the "Buildings" sale. 

    I was out for the day and evening on Monday (Daz "Zero Hour" is 23:00 where I am and I got home at around 22:20) while Tuesday's sale selections were rather "meh", so I totally missed out on double tokens this week. 

    Yeah miss that 50% Gold Star discount on new and "still new" releases, About the only time I could afford to purchase any. 

    Well one more sale event (the Spring/Summer Plati-...I mean...Daz+ sale before my annual membership expires for the last time, Apologies but 99 USD is a bit rich on my meagre income for pretty much the same benefits I've received since I started here. Particularly so as Daz+ items have become a lot more expensive than they used to be.

    I like the Build A Bundle options today (compared to most New Releases).  But the Featured Artists section just feels like a rehashed March Madness list-and I exhausted that recently.  So I'm going with just a few bundle releases.

    so what this sale today is, I guess, is you have to buy 3,4,5, or 6 New Releases to get the discount specified? I mean the price isn't too bad then, but I can't find 1 that tweeks me tweeker. Well, maybe 1, as an outside the need realm. I was thinking of buying premier again though, just to get the Cheyenne character bundle before that leaves, or the new bundle character today, but there is no new character bundle.  I was wanting to get her anyway before. As a bonus two $10 coupons and the $5 per token thing....  we shall see. I think I give up on ever seeing my ticket answered.

    The promo is okay if you like at least 3 of them.  Sadly you can't use tokens with this one either.

    hadn't noticed the no token thing. The sales are getting more and more limited here at DAZ. I haven't purchased anything for 3 or so weeks so no tokens right now. It is a fact buying here is more of a thing for me than actually using the stuff. I just like cool items, well done, and especially different looking stuff. I think that's why I'm not into a lot of the new as a lot of it repeats the same as in previous generations.

    What I like: Decent selection of New Releases to choose from, good discount on new release prices, getting to choose instead of being cornered into what someone else thinks a bundle should be

    Unfortunate for me: Nothing I need, and definitely out of budget to buy enough of them to get the good discounts. 

    Regardless, definitely a refreshing change from the March Monotony offers

    There's nothing I -need- from today's new offerings, but there's a fair variety and a decent overall number of items to choose from. I can assemble at least six of them that might be sufficiently interesting for me to buy to get the max discounted price of $4.99 each. As noted, tokens don't work, but you get a better-than-typical-token discount on the more pricey items when discounted to that price, reaching better than 80% for some of them. Overall, a reasonable offering, especially if you have no tokens on hand.

  • Colossal waste of time assembling a cart just to find out my tokens don't work on the build-a-bundle. Too much else in RL calling for my hard-earned $$. Heavy sigh.
