    Bah. This wasn't there yesterday: Minimum price after discount: $2.99.

    I see that as well, but in my cart only the Newly Mad item ($3.60) and one WL item ($3.28) are over the stated minimum price after discount. Everything else is $2.51 or less. I do have a Gold Star, and Premier, and 3 tokens applied.  

    I think tokens override minimum prices, so that might be the case here.

    Yes, I think they do.

    DAZ sales are so confusing.

    So I guess Daz is excluding New items from the WL promo but doesn't want to say so? Again? <Drama queen sigh> Messed up my buying plans. 

    The promo page has now been updated to list the exclusion, sorry it took so long.

    But only to include the minimum price. It still does not say it excludes new releases and says it excludes items prior to 3/ 29  instead of 3/27

    Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.  For MM, I think it's been primarily NOT overriding.  In fact, in a very good percentage of times for me, when the discount requires entering a coupon, the price without coupon will actually be lower than the price with it, so I've mostly not used the coups at all.  Mind you, I've been a Gold Star every day, have enough tokens to apply eight with every order, am a Premier member, and generally buy enough new/newly mad items to trigger the maximum discounts so I close to maximum stacking, and I know that's not the case for a lot of DAZ customers, so everyone else's mileage will almost certainly vary.

    It does, but you may need to do a hard refresh. We are told the date is right, as long as the items are not New of course.

     Nope, even hard refresh and clearing cache didn't change it for me. Maybe a Cloudflare cache issue ?

    Mad Door Prizes

    Use code: WISHLIST-MADNESS

    Choose any one for $2.99, or $1.99 if you have a Star

     

    Everything in this section is under $4.00. If you just add it to your cart with stars and other discounts, they all cost less than $0.99. What is the point of this code?

  • 3DSaga3DSaga Posts: 792

    Well, this weekend, along with the early part of the sale has helped me to drastically reduce my Wish List as well as my bank balance.  Overall, I'm happy with this year's March Madness.

    I've asked that question about a lot of the promotions for MM this year.

    Offering an easy way to keep the stars rolling when you don't find something else to buy: the whole store (or close to it) is not discounted every day.

    Also useful for people who don't have a membership active.

    ...I think they're on to me after this weelend as today you can only use a Newly Mad release to get an extra discount on wishlist items. Going to be rough replenishing tokens today.

    KETCHUP-MADNESS code for mad door prizes not valid reminds of think it was last months or previous  sale near the end where we had a choice of a free product or buy another no one could get them

    This is always cheaper in the outlet/qc.

    Well, yes, but arguably, people with membership buy a ton more than those who do not.

    You need to spend one dollar at least: using outlet or quick grab, you either wont' save anything, or you'll save 1 cent.

    Not all sales have to be taylored for the biggest spender.

    It was the December Advent sale. On the 31st, no one who qualified got a offered a freebie, only their $2.99 option. I ended up not getting anything, as I hoped the issue would be fixed. Overall, it was just one blip in an otherwise very good sale, however. 

    Overall I liked Holidaz 2025 better than this event, especially the Doorbuster vs. MM Shooting Stars. However, it has been better than Meh for me. I will use both my membership coupons plus the $6 DO from before I bumped up my tier. Like many here, I don't always use the $X Off $Y coupon.

    To be honest, the first few days were amazing, but... turned out it was a bug and prices were adjusted :D

    I still got a ton of stuff when it started though.

    Not no one, I got mine.

    Yeah the Mad Door Madness makes no sense. 

    It says you can get an item for $2,99, but many are as low as 99 cents!

    Do we end up paying more for some items, rather than less?

    ...interesting, when I put an item in my cart this morning the price came to 10.28 USD.  When I got home tonight the price with the 2 went up to 14.70 USD so I had to use 2 tokens and the 15% coupon to knock it back down.

    The curious thing when  I go to my wishlist and uncheck "Items that I own" the product Vicolo dell'esedra does not show up as if it never existed, so what did I pay 10.78 for?

    Items are automatically removed from our wishlist once we have bought them.

    The main exception is if you're buying a bundle while having items from this bundle, only the bundle will be removed from your wishlist and you'll have to remove these items them manually.

    ...yeah, I scanned through the main store a few minutes later with the check box unchecked and it does show up there.(with the 40% "still new" discount).

    _______________

    ETA

    As to the difference in price, it seems it was figuring in the 30% bonus for a "new" release even though "still new" releases no longer applied, so that lower price must I saw in the morning must have been a "glitch" at the time I put the item in the cart..

    For some reason today not getting any star discount (silver or gold) even though I made purchases on Saturday and Monday which is 2 out of the last three days.

    Anyone else seeing this?

    In the reporting thread,  Wolfwood said the discount from the coupon was active without the coupon and that hidden 15% discount was removed once Daz made the coupon available.

    Use code: WISHLIST-MADNESS

    . What is the point of this code?

     Its to declare your madness...

    And while we are here... today it says, for the second time: Last 24 hours.

    How often do you expect them to declare the "last 24 hours" before the March madness really ends? I throw in with 3.

    @kyotokid The Star issue has been reported in that thread. It seems to be widespread. In the time it took me to start a post and recover from another Cloudflare blip, there were 5 or 6 reports, and Richard had already flagged it.

     *Of course*  this happens when I was planning on a big for me shopping spree.

    It didn't say 48 hours yesterday? I thought it did. But I could have just assumed.

    Wednesday is the perfect day for a "fake" "last 24 hours".

    In fairness, they're being a little more accurate this time.

    The first was last 24 hours in the last weekend in March.

    The one today is the last 24 hours of the month of March.

    Neither said anything about the March Madness sale specifically.

    Somewhat disappointed that the orange "thank you for supporting MM" banner didn't last till today (I expected it might not, since they're not given, but was hopeful). There was nothing I wanted to buy yesterday, but I could use it today as an extra incentive to keep my cart a little bigger than wittle it down.
    Unless the MM is extended till the end of the week (to encompass tomorrow's April's Fools and Easter weekend) and something else comes along, I won't be ending it with a bang. Maybe it's a sign that Daz got enough of my money already. :D

    Yeah, I was bummed, too. Yesterday was my gap day for needing to buy things to keep up the gold star. Maybe there'll be a flash sale later in the day, though.

    I'm scrounging up something to buy, but only for the hope that tomorrow will be good and I can use my DO (and maaaaybe PA) coupons. I don't have any tokens, so unless there's some sale that's really incredible without them, I'm done with MM.

    It's been an odd one. Usually these big sales start off lackluster and then sometimes get better later on. This one went the other way around.

    Still way better than previous MM sales for me, though, whatever the configuration. Got some good stuff to play with, so now I just need to finish cataloging it and go play with it. :)

    And there's the annual April Fool's hijinx to look forward to tomorrow. :)
