    Not an urgent issue, but DIM is still showing the promos from Monday Dec 1. Not sure if there was supposed to be something to replace them, but if so... well, it didn't do it.

    Thanks, sent a query.

    Looks like sales ended? Everthing in my cart suddenly lost any discounts.

    So asking again, those who are more familiar: can I expect similar 50% off sales either between now/Xmas, or at Xmas, or for Boxing Day sales?
    Do those sales ever get better than 50%?

    Thanks

  • j_greanj_grean Posts: 41

    Also can someone explain this to me:
    "60% off* Featured Artist Stores and 75% off* Legacy Featured Artist Stores when you buy any Debut New Release"
    And it lists which artists. So I added something from one of those artists to my cart, and added the obligatory "Debut New Release"... but no discount on the "Featured Artist" ?

    Also how does it even work? You get a "debut new release" and so you get 60% of all items from all those artists?
    Or is it like, 1 for 1? So if I wanted 5 items from the features artists you get 6 60% off all 5 if you buy 5 debut new? The Daz sale wording is SUPER vague

    For BTDT advice, the best thread is: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/743066/there-s-always-another-sale-thread-discussions-only-pt-5 -- lots of people happy to dish on their experiences.

    Please see my post above yours. 

    In the members forum Jack mentioned that we will enjoy "Better than Daz+ prices" every day, so I asked him to clarify. Possibly he meant the daily deals.

    Sales always end and start. No one can tell you what to expect, really, because no one knows, and "past performance is not indicative of future results". Most people would consider 50% off in general not really a great offer, unless it's a product they really want and probably would buy anyway. 70% is considered okay, and 80-90% if what everybody hopes and strives for. Keep in mind that 50% off + 20% off extra isn't cumulative, so it isn't 70% off. First, 50% will be deducted from the price, and then 20% will be deducted from the remaining price.

    If you're on a budget or simply want to stretch your money, patience is the key as is checking sales pages for any possible stacking and looking at the sales discussion thread (this is reporting, not for chatting but for things not working). For example, if you buy something over $1 for three days (not a gift card and be wary of added tax that also isn't included), you'll get up to 30%/35%/45% extra depending on your membership. Every day there seems to be 20% off extra of one chosen PA. Often, buying a new release will discount everything else too, so if you're building a bigger cart, it might be worth it. But it all depends which products are on sale, what kind of new releases are there, and what stacks. Most days, the selection will rotate and so might some rules as well.

    It's not all items. Every artist listed is a link to their selection of items that are currently on sale. New releases are usually not a part of that selection which includes anything published in the last 60 days and possibly some other items too—there is no guarantee that any particular item will be part of any particular selection at any particular time. You can also browse all the items from all the PAs with the big button.

    One new release is enough to discount everything else it discounts (unless the promo specifically says you have to buy 2 or 3 which sometimes happens or it specifically says, for example, "up to 5/10/20 items"), but the items must be simultaneously in the cart. So unless stated otherwise, 1 new release will discount any items from the specific featured artist selection as long as they are in the cart. If you meet those conditions and still aren't getting a discount, this is where you come here to report, preferably with a screenshot of your cart, so mods and other users can investigate.

    Thanks kindly for the explanation, greatly appreciated!
    Apologies again I was in the wrong thread.

  • I had an issue with the Advent Calendar — the free item wasn’t showing up as free after adding it to my cart. It eventually worked, but I had to add both items, move to the page with my cart, remove the $2.99 one, and then the free item finally became free.
    Just sharing this in case anyone else runs into the same problem.

    Generally speaking, during many of these sales, you won't see the final price by adding an item to the cart- you have to actually open the cart with the button to see the actual price. At least, that's the way it works for me.

    Every other day (though actually we will be getting the usual four in total for the week, not three-and-a-half)

    Same here. So someone should check that!

    Plus an extra 20% off*
    Lyoness' Store not applying to LY Riko for Genesis 9 (which is not listed as a new release). Double checked, isn't working for anything in the Lyoness store.

    For me, the paid one was $10.00, but $2.99 in the cart.  The free one, which I added first, was $0.00 after adding it (I checked, before adding the paid one).  Tried to clear cart and repeat, same. 

    But now the paid one is $2.99 instead of $10.00, in the calendar, after refreshing the page.

    So the price of the paid option is wrong (too high) on the sale page? I completely ignored it as an option, because of the high price displayed in the Advent Calendar ad.

    It was the first time I checked the calendar.  Maybe DAZ had fixed something when I checked again, or maybe it's a cache thing, I don't know.

    It seems Christmas gifts are no longer gifts unless you already pay some money (DAZ+ or higher membership).  Don't remember what yesterday's Calendar item was.  Today's Senior Citizen Props looked interesting, but not free.  Oh,well.

    Christmas gifts are free, one daily, from a chosen PA (plus an extra discount on their store).

    The Advent Calendar can have up to two options: a $2.99 default option, and if you bought something in the previous days, you will also have a free option, and you can pick either of them. As far as I know, there's no need to be a paid member for that, and users who are base member getting both options as long as they had bought something in the previous day(s).

    This doesn't help the ReadMe issue, but Daz Deals first clocks it as existing on 9/24 of this year.

    It was a golden ticket when it was first launched, so the released date is likely the same as the date you purchased it.

    Can I politely suggest that things that are currently in Outlet or Quick Grab (as the Xiu Lin makeup here is) should be really excluded from the Advent offer?

    It's obviously silly for me to pay $2.99 for this today (as it does indeed go up to $2.99 in the cart) when I could wait until tomorrow and get it for $0.99.

    The thing is, I often at the start of the week wishlist several possibly interesting things in Quick Grab. As far as purchasing strategy, their own price is static and doesn't matter if I'm putting them in a huge cart with stacking deals and maximum tokens or a small cart with no offers, and they're not going to get any more expensive if I leave them until the end of the week so it makes sense to save them to round up cart totals if they're close to a token threshold, or to leave them in case Daz runs another of their "get 10% off your cart with 5 quick grab/outlet items!" type offers. I can then mop up the left over ones that still grab my attention come Sunday, given that I'll essentially be paying the same price regardless.

    But if Daz are going to generate anti-offers like this, I'm going to have to turf any outlet or quick grab items out of my wishlist.

    Yes, I could see that it's potentially a discount at the $3.49/$6.99 (although not much of one for a subscriber) or the $4.99/$9.99 outlet/quick grab price points, but I suspect most of the items at these tiers have too high a base price to even be considered for the advent offer, so my general principle would be "Just exclude all outlet/quick grab from consideration".

    I have gotten 1 free Advent Calendar item each oof the past two days without any other purchases and unrrelated to my mothly Premierr membership. I could of additioonally bought a steeply discounted Advent calendar item for each of those days for $2.99 each. It looks like they are "being choosen from my wishlist" and bby how many times I've looked at the product or had it in my cart, although ultimately not buying as they're in the Advent Calendar as reminders I have had interest in them in the past. That's very smart marketing DAZ!

     

    (apparently I was wrong about the Advent Calendar freebies - one mmost make a purchases for $1 or more every day??? blush)

  • Z Poledance extravaganza doesn't seem to get the extra 20% off debut new releases w/ Z Delightful curves if my Daz math is correct.  Other debut new releases I tried do get the extra 20%. Fine print doesn't mention that the 20% off debut new w/ Z Delightful Curves not working on Z Poledance.

    Daz Math on Z Poledance: $21.99 base - 30% off = 15.39, -50% off for adding Z Delightful = 7.70, -30% off for 2 punchs Premier = 5.39. Which is the price shown in the cart.  So being in the debut new release section Z Poledance should get an additonal 20% off and be $4.31.

    The whole Zedicus promotion is a bit fritzed up.  There are several items that are not getting the discount but, on the other hand, I discovered that there were also a lot of items that WERE discounting that weren't shown in the selection that the link on the Zediccus promotion sends us to... which only appeared when I turned off the "Hide items I own" filter.
