...after I made the purchase of what I had in the cart before "zero hour" yesterday (00:00 "Utah time"/23:00 west coast time) I still only have one punch showing. Something is messed up here.

Is your other purchase still in the past 3 days?

...yes. for 3.99 which is over 1 USD.

I vaguely remember the Daz store having caching issues for some people preventing punches from displaying, every time they run this punch card promotional. You might have to check by cart testing an item to see if it's giving the expected discount. Go to the Shop page, reverse sort by highest price, find something with no discount (and not a bundle that has owned sub-items), add to cart, view cart to check the % discount. I am premier with one punch, so when I try this process the item is 20% off in cart, which matches the punch chart. Also, there's a 1 day lag for new punches to appear. (Buy today, punch appears tomorrow.) That's a marketing gimmick which allows the shop to weigh sales 1-2 days in advance so shoppers are rewarded (or otherwise) for banking punches, to encourage participation etc.

I'm a little worried about the lack of new core Character release. Last one bundles are uninteresting for me and was expecting to today's release for my coupon. If daz is not going to regularly release at least two actual characters per month then premier value is diminished because of lack of choices.

There is still next week.

Robin was released 6-25

Frankie 5-21

Cate 4-23

Nadine 3-26

Wait a few more days. Then panic. :)

You forgot Axel 9, released on 9th July, so there is one from this month. There needs to be one next Thursday if we are to get 2 this month, it is likely to be a female.

daveso · July 23

the cow and bull have a bundle in Premier selection too, so that might be the 2nd one.

garrett_3d · July 23

Well, I've seen absolutely nothing that immediately interests me since the new sale started. I've chucked a couple of environments on my WL for a later date but I actually don't feel like I want to spend any money at the moment. Hardly anything G8 compatible which is a major disappointment, and what there is happens to be very much like stuff I already have. Seems like PAs are running out of ideas when it comes to wardrobe items.

Also Sigrid 9 (3/12/26), Aro 9 (4/9/26), Emmy 9 (5/7/26), and Sydney 9 (6/11/26). That's 2 per month, most months. The only exception recently was today during Christmas In July. Daz sometimes skips/holds off on (however you want to look at it) a new core release during longer sales events, something I mentioned over in the members' section. So there may or may not be a second this month. Unless the cow/bull is the second as @daveso suggested.

So the full roster for the past few months is

Sigrid (3/12)

Nadine (3/26)

Aro (4/9)

Cate (4/23)

Emmy (5/7)

Frankie (5/21)

Sydney (6/11)

Robin (6/25)

Axel (7/11)

Cow & Bull (7/11)

I was only listing the end of month characters because I was pointing out there's still time left in the month. I ignored all of the beginning of month chars.

kyoto kid · July 24

...so if you have three punches, do you jhve to keep buying items to avoid losing one (or all)?

jmucchiello · July 24

kyoto kid said:

Yes. # of punches = # of days with at least one purchase in the last 3 days

No reason to panic. Kristina is here. https://www.daz3d.com/introducing-kristina-9

3DSaga · July 24

Yes, not only has she arrived, she already is listed as eligible for the Premier character coupon. Normally it takes at least a day for that to happen.

Last two or three characters were available the same day.

Not sure this is the right thread, hope it is. I purchased Sorcerer’s Relics, since it's a good deal and fits many of my scenes. After downloadnig and opening it, there's no prop folder, instead it's environments and it's empty, the texture folder is also empty.

You may have more luck in the reporting thread:

Thanks @Faeryl_Woman I had installed it and after your post realized I had not seen it in Smart Content. I reopened DIM and while the data and support files installed, environments and runtime are in italics and apparently did not. You are right these should be in props but this is not the first set of products I have seen in the past few days with really screwy metadata.

I'm enjoying the freebies, the magic wand was lovely. Grabbed a few of the $2.99 items as well. 83% off PA categories in the best case doesn't clear my threshold, but the selection is wide. I'm hoping/expecting Daz to run some flash sales or something as the event goes on.

miladyderyni_173d399f47 · July 24

My plan is still:

1) Enjoy Censored's great freebies.

2) pick up enough OS/QG, & maybe a couple tokens, to get the largest discount on either what I pick up with my $10/$25 coupon or the Terror Bird I keep babbling about.

....thanks, they really don't make it easy on us who are on tight budgets .I've just about run out of useful items in the Outlet Store,

When you are paid only omce a month (pension), by month's end it gets pretty rough.WIsh this sale began earlier.

Need a "Brother Can You Spare a Dime" sale.

the QG pricing is not too bad without a membership, but with,2 bucks with one, ad is much better overall. I might have to do a DAZ+ membership instead of Premier.

kyoto kid · July 25

...not being an adopter of G9, I rarely find much on QG Actually have picked up a few things from the Legacy Artists category

May take a break next month and let my D+ subscription expire. Not been very impressed lately with new D+ releases (again more and more G9 stuff lately) .

WendyLuvsCatz · July 25

only actually bought one cheap thing so far, that got the discount from 3 punches

otherwise just spread my Outlet choices out over separate days to get and keep them

were things I intended buying anyway

and as I am not a member, all were 1.99USD so qualified

sadly by the time I got 3 punches, my wishlisted choices were no longer on sale so needed to pick through other stuff which these days is hard with the slow loading site

if I don't find something else tonight, will likely forgo my punch upkeep

memcneil70 · July 25

Today there is https://www.daz3d.com/golden-years-shapes-for-genesis-9 for $2.99 which is a morph pack of six older females by @Virtual_World. With the G9 Base Essentials that are free with Daz Studio non-adopters might have a product that could give them a product that could still be useful and not break the bank. And with older people, it is easy to adjust them to the other sex.

@Fareyl_Woman - I just found an update for Sorcerers Relics 1 in my DIM, Product Updates now.

(Linked item so folks will see DAZ responded promptly to the issue.)

Edit to add: Unfortunately, while the 'Environments' has installed, the 'Runtime/Textures' has not. It is still in italics. I updated my report with what I found. But it is Saturday, so we may not find an update until next week.

Edit to add further: In Daz Studio the product DOES show up under Props/Furnishings/Decor. I do not see any materials at this time. And when I do try to load an item a pop-up appears with missing files for the Runtime/Textures. So you get a grey product at this point.

Thanks and I will keep checking for updates. That beach ball yesterday finally showed a download in my library, so that was fixed as well.
