    The sale Sunday was a lot better. Sadly I was spending restricted. But I'm thinking today is not the end. I expect it'll be extended through the weekend.

    Are the products in the Wishing Well section supposed to have their full price by default? Because that's how I'm seeing the majority of them. There are only like ten to fifteen products there already discounted (and I am not interested in either of them). I mean, the offer says that the products in the Wishing Well get an extra 40% off when you include a Debut new release in the cart. But an extra 40% off is certainly not very appealing when almost all of them have a base discount of 35% (Daz Originals) at best. Is it me that am missing something here? You can see better what section I am speaking about in the screenshot.

    The slightly odd thing being, under the Wishing Well product images it has; "Items must be on your Wishlist prior to September 30 " when almost all of the products displayed on the click through page aren't on my wishlist. It kinda looks like something isn't working as intended (yes, I know!)

    I think Daz purposely makes really bad specials from time to time, to make the other ones look better.

    The September coupon seems to have expired early again.  It's only 9:19 PM in Salt Lake, yet the codes have switched over and the my prime coupon for DOs for september is no longer being honored.  WTHeck DAZ?

    That's odd. I just successfully used my September free bundle code. I copied & pasted the October code and changed the 10 in the code to 09. This isn't the first time I've done that, either. "WTHeck" is right, since they generally won't work until Daz midnight anyway. 

    I hope you and the poster in the PC+, where I answered a similar comment, see this tonight so you both can make your buys tonight.

    Thanx! I'd tried that and it didn't work, but knowing that it worked for someone elese, I kept plugging and eventually found out that one of my items was still listing as a new release, which kept the coupon from working.

    I was so sure we would get new outlet products today, lol.

    They didn't expire, they were just replaced with October couples early: It says 10_25FREEBEER in the coupon code, switch it to 09_25FREEBEER and it works (no, there's no actual FREEBEER coupon). I noticed this last night and just fixed the front of the coupon code.

    Confused on how having a wishlist/offerings mismatch would be not functioning as intended? Daz has a standard subset, and user experience varies as to what's on their WL. It's the luck of the draw.

    it doesn't, from what I can tell. I put in a new debut release, nothing. The new golden item, nothing, by itself, nothing.  I'm getting 29% off full price, not 5.99  

  • JumbotronJumbotron Posts: 262

    I'm relieved to read from you guys that at least it wasn't me that somehow was missing some important factor from yesterday's Wishing Well section of the sale. I ended up buying quite a lot anyway, because I still had my three coupons of the month unused. And I also purchased a gift card.

    They're the same price whether the item is on my wishlist or not. As far as I can tell, it seems just to be a list of random items called Wishing Well that you can get 40% off if you buy a new release (your wish-list has nothing to do with it). Working same on 1st October as did 30th September (I put working... I don't know whether it is or not! laugh)

    Ah, apologies. Missed that bit of nuance.

    With the advent of the Outlet Store and the Quick Grab, I've discovered a new painful emotion I never knew I had- discovering something cool, only to find out that it just left the outlet store/quick grab and is now back to full price.

    See also: Putting that really cool item you found in the outlet store/quick grab on your Wishlist only to see the same thing happen.

    I suppose that begs the question- is there always another Outlet Store appearance?  Presumably we'll find out.

    ..so  I renew my Daz+ membership for the October D+ sale and they extend the PA sale not just for another day but a whole week.

    Yup. Because apparently they would all break out in massive hives if they were forthright about when things were going to end.

    I only remember one time in recent years when a major sale was NOT extended. At least once it was extended twice.
  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,838

    ... yeah this one was somewhat disappointing. Most of the golden ticket items were G9 so there went that discount, and as I mentioned, they expanded the "still new" designation back to March 1st, instead of just the normal 60 days. Thus items I was hoping to get off my wishlist never appeared in the Featured Artists sales. so the orange banner code didn't work on them.

    Puzzles upon puzzles... Does “EXTENDED 1 WEEK!” mean that the PA sale will continue until next Wednesday/Thursday, or will it end this coming weekend? And where was the poll that gave us Audrey 9, who feels like the 478th white G9 cutie and 214th 'sexy librarian', as 'people's choice'?

    "You Voted, We Built It!"

    No, I didn't. I wasn't invited to vote for anything despite being Daz+ and receiving Daz marketing emails on a regular basis.

    I predicted the extension. The sale verbiage makes no sense.

    There was a survey a couple of months ago (checking my mailbox, I received an email about a survey from Daz in February).

    No, I didn't. I wasn't invited to vote for anything despite being Daz+ and receiving Daz marketing emails on a regular basis.

    It wasn't actual voting, but a survey sent out in the July 15 newsletter that you could have filled out about your preference of what characters you'd like to see. It wasn't a separate email, but part of the regular member emails, and Jack even mentioned it in the members' new releases thread to make sure no one missed it.

     As a side note, though, I'm somewhat disappointed if this is truly what people voted for, because we got exactly what we've been getting, just slightly younger-looking. I guess women over 25 and under 55 (thanks Feng, for at least those +55) don't exist in Dazland or at least in people's votes.

    Yes It's funny laugh, every time I see those 'Final Day' or 'Last Chance' banners in the emails, I chuckle, because I know it won’t actually be the last day and I'll see the big EXTENDED on upcoming emails.That's how it was in past years too.

    Thank you. I thought I was just critically undercaffeinated.

    A heads up about the Flashback Bundle Deal in today's sale.  Even if you were already buying one of the Audrey 9 bundles, you might want to check if the Flashback deal is worth using.  The FBD bundles are all G3 starter bundles.  But IF you have the GT + orange banner coupon + 8 tokens, you can get the Pro version of same bundle today for near $7. Only Premier pays less than that for the FBD, but $1 to go up to Pro is still worth it probably. Of course it all depends on what discounts you have available.

    This is not a coding error at DAZ. It's just a particular combination of factors creating a weird contradiction today.  Hope this helps someone.

    EDIT: I just noticed that the $7 for Pro may be too low (I already had 1 item in the Pro bundle I tested). I think just under $8 is the pristine cost.  Also, the Star 2.0 starter bundle isn't DO, so it wouldn't be cheaper to get Star 2.0 Pro today, making it perhaps the best FBD offer.
