    Well, that's interesting. Apparently even Sundays will have March Madness rotations of items. The Lord General for Genesis looks good (too bad it's 4.5 only)

    http://www.daz3d.com/lord-general-for-genesis/

    And the limited edition Royal Guardsman is back up:

    The PA sales are odd, though. Valandar, Feralfey, and Don Albert are up, again. So I guess it's not going to be a one day per PA sale for the month thing.

    Well, I waited yesterday to see if they would fix the confusion, but no dice. I really wanted a few of the things on sale, especially in Raw's store, but I wasn't willing to throw down money in the face of yet another confused, broken promotion.

    Daz, stop making it so hard for me to give you my money.

    I think the updates on the site are automatic or preprogrammed during weekends. I'd suggest filing a support ticket so that the staff can address those concerns come Monday. As noted before, unfortunately, the DAZ staff rarely go through the forums, so you have a better chance of letting your concerns heard by submitting a support ticket.

    Yeah, sadly that is the case AFAIK.

    I know plenty of people have submitted tickets though, so hopefully it will get the attention needed.

    Man, so bummed, in addition to the gltiches with the sales, I was dropped from the platinum club, so my pc discount is also hosed. SIGH. I put a ticket in, but I paid last month on the 12th. I should be good through the 12th.

    Maybe they are going to have you do what I had to do. Buy that members subscription,,,I had to buy it ( even though I had been a member for 10 years and had already paid my monthly fee )..they did reimburse me, but why go through that ordeal??..makes no sense at all..Yes,It is a huge bummer! Means missing out on discounts on items you may be interested in buying..maybe they will work with you on it but not till tomorrow.. :(

    I did have to rebuy it- last month, when they stopped taking paypal, they asked me to sign up again using the credit card which I did on the 12th. I think they dropped me, because this is when my old paypal account expired- the 4th, even though I'm paid up through the 12th.

    I'm just irked. IT took 3 days to fix last time.

    Oh crap..what a pain in the beeswax! Gesh..and it goes on and on...why does it have to be so complicated? No other sites have issues this bad? I hope you get it sorted out very quickly this time..

    This is the common theme about what's been going on in the last couple of years, apparently. :coolhmm:

    I am in the same situation like you - I was kicked out of PC club, although I rebought my monthly membership with credit card in February. I was still a member on Friday, on Saturday not anymore...

    Wow, they need to get their stuff with accounts together. I'm sorry about that. Looks like we're both in the same boat. I was told I was an active member by Britney that I'd switched my payment via credit card, but I think their automated system is terminating without checking to see if there is an active membership.

    Termination of PC memberships should only be done with review by a customer service rep. Auto-termination without notification? That is just plain wrong, especially since this is the second time I've gotten dumped and was still an active member in good standing.

    .
    I had the same thing happen to me last month.
    I couldn't figure out why I was locked out of the Member's Only forum or why prices were not PC prices.
    You're right, a customer service rep should have to review terminations.

    ...less is more
    ...more is less
    ...I guess...


    Just popped over to the store to see if my membership was still active. Mine is an annual (which I renewed last month) but with all the silliness concerning activation/expiration dates (I had three of each depending on what page I viewed and was listed as living in a state recreation area south of Selma, Alabama, not a city in Oregon) over the last few months one can never know what's up anymore with this site software.

    Yep 1.99$ items are still showing.

    See these are the kinds of reasons why I am now thankful for my recalcitrance with taking a PC membership. I have enough stress in my life without anything that will add more... especially ones that I'd be paying money for %-P

    Question:
    Lorella the Elf Maiden is 11.87, the same for the Fantasy Outfit.
    Put one in the cart, it is 10.68 - that is 10% off, fine.
    Put both in the cart and the cart goes to 15.26 - that is not really 50%, is it?

    16.95 x2 = 33.9 Base price without the discount
    33.9 /2 = 16.95 50% discount
    16.95 x 0.9 = 15.255 10% discount

    Looks about right. However, if you're supposed to have PC discount, not sure.

    But why get them individually, when you can save on the bundle more (which is 18.87 right now so with the additional discounts, it would go down to 12.13) ?

    They are going 50% off the list price not after the 30% which is what the 11.87 is. The extra 10% if you have A5 or the Garibaldi Express seems to be after you add the price of the files; and divide by 2 to get 50% off.

    The better deal is actually the bundle if you buy something else from the MM category with it. For example, I bought Look at me eyes 2 and only paid $2.25 over what the price of the character and the outfit totaled if I bought those two individually instead of the bundle. If you buy one of the cheaper items, you might even get the bundle price for less than the character and outfit if purchased separately.

    Curious when / if anyone will hear back from Daz regarding the broken sales over the weekend. There were a few things I missed that I really wanted.

    Some good stuff today though.

    Just checked. It's 30% on my screen. Might have been a glitch like some items showing as 51% off but when clicked, they show the right discount.

    I am logged in, did a force refresh even, and yes, Forest Scout is listed at 75% off.
    Too bad I already own it. LOL

    That's really odd. I tried clearing the cache and logging in again, and it's still standard price minus 30% from this end. I might have bought it at 75%, but with the stuff rotating in and out, I'm saving up for the things Ive been eyeing for some time (since most of the new items being added are DUF, I can't use those).

    Funky store is all I can say since even clearing my cache it is still up.
    Here's a screen:

    EDIT: I wonder if it has to do with a PC discount?
    Cheers
