    Great Deals!

    Tried to get Dreamlight's "In bed" at 50% off - no way! DAZ's version of 50% turned out to be $13,97, which according to my calcs. is not
    1/2 of $19,95.
    Went back later in the day to check, only to find it was now at $9,95 - definitely not appreciated DAZ

    No math needed. You have to look at the percentage off. It's written right under the sale price. If it doesn't say what it's supposed to say, then don't buy it and wait for Daz to fix it. These types of sales always throw the store into oblivion.

    All items is all items. The Pro bundles are part of your purchase, aren't they? You're just using a coupon to get them free.

    No, the Pro bundles are definitely *not* part of my purchase. They are supposed to be a free add on with the coupon presented. No offense but there's no way in hades I'm going to push the buy button on a $100 bundle and cross my fingers and think good thoughts and *hope* that everything works out in the end. I'm sure DAZ would refund me when things inevitably go wrong, but I don't need the hassle.

    Looking at the M4 pro bundle (and the V4 one, for that matter) I already have nearly everything in it, and the very few items I don't have, I don't really need and probably wouldn't use. But it's irksome nonetheless.

    Put the needed items and the bundle in your cart, enter the coupon code (on the full-page version of the cart) and you should see the discount applied under the sub-total, leaving you to pay only for the PA sale items (if you are not a PC member but have three items in the cart the extra discount to bring the items down to 50% off will also be there, so the total additional discount will be more than the cost of the M4 or V4 bundle, but for PC members it will be just the price of the bundle)..

    You can abort a purchase right up to the time before you actually press the "Pay Now" button, so going through the process you will see if the cart total is correct before you do actually press the button to pay. Discounts don't show in the quick cart

    Adding an illustration for anybody experiencing problems. When it works it looks like this, so you know what you are paying. (And it is still working).

    Sorry, I have to disagree. PC members get weekly and monthly Freebies. Other members get Freebies with purchase.
    All of those items have to be placed in the cart before you can have them appear in your Content Library, or through the DIM.
    They will not magically appear in your Content Library because they are free, coupon or no coupon.
    I've been shopping here quite a while now, and I've never seen it work that way. They could probably make it work that way with some creative programming, but it would be much easier to set it up with a coupon that deducts the cost of the Bundle from the cart when all the conditions are met.
    I mean no disrespect.

    No offense taken whatsoever. I'm starting to regret bitching about this, and I appreciate all those who have chimed in trying to be helpful and detail how the process is supposed to work.

    I'm a PC member too, and have been for several years (5? 6? more than a few). I almost never take advantage of or make use of coupons; usually I'm either oblivious to them or hanging out on the Carrara forums and miss them, or I feel like it would be too much trouble or the coupons are for something I don't want or care about, so I readily admit that despite the fact I've been a forum member for years and have purchased lots of content (thousands? yes thousands of $ worth... whoa, realizing how much I have frittered away on this hobby... ) I certainly am not an expert on the finer mechanics of using coupons here. (For me this is true in real life too; I hate coupons as they live in your pocket/wallet taking up space and feeling like an obligation, and always come with terms and conditions, and using them is nearly always a trial, so my personal policy is I don't use them if I can help it).

    But should I have to be an expert on DAZ coupons in order to take advantage of a promoted offer? What about an absolute newbie to DAZ, does he/she deserve to miss out with a 'whoops, sorry, you did it wrong' just because the instructions aren't clear?

    My life is generally pretty good. I've got the extra money to buy content if I want, Carrara 8.5 is out and works well, and 9 is in development. I'm in good health and good spirits, and I'm roguishly good-looking, so it's not my usual m.o. to whine or complain, as I have so little to complain about. And I don't even care about the parts of the M4 Pro bundle that I don't already have - a hair that looks not-good, a character morph that I probably would never use, and outfit that I know I would never use - so this isn't a big deal.

    But it is an irritation, so yeah I guess I whined a bit there. But in the interest of customer service and retention of new clientele who are not familiar with the mechanics of how DAZ coupons have always worked in the past, maybe they should think about offering some clear instructions on the offer page? Just sayin'...

    Edited because I was missing the real problem:
    The codes are actually MIC4PRO-FREE and VIC4PRO-FREE.
    Although the Predatron store is no longer part of the Festival (so Dragon Action Poses no longer qualifies), the second order is working for me with both Bundles at the moment.

    tjohn! Thanks for helping! I have entered in the coupons properly and it worked! I am glad to have the free bundles! Although now I am seriously questioning my reading comprehension and sanity ;-)

    Are any PC items of $1.99 qualify for the sale(free V4/M4 pro bundle/s)? Or just certain ones, or none at all? Thanks

  • Brad CBrad C Posts: 28
    edited December 1969

    There is a footnote to PA Festival sale which says:
    * All items must be in cart simultaneously for special pricing to apply. Excludes items under $3.00

    So no $1.99 items qualify.

    Also the qualifying 2 items (starter bundle) or 3 items (pro bundle) you need to purchase to get the freebies must be Festival sale items. You can find that page under Shop: Hot Promotions

    The Gen 4 Throwback Special has been extended. Right now purchase any 3 PA Festival Items and get the Aiko 4 or Freak 4 Pro bundles. If you participated in the Gen 4 Throwback previously, this deal works the same as the Michael 4 and Victoria 4 Pro Bundle deal. Qualifying items must be from a featured Premier Artist's store. All items (including the free bundle) must be in your cart at checkout for the coupon to apply.

    Here are the coupon codes:
    Aiko 4 Pro Bundle:
    AIKO4PRO-FREE

    Freak 4 Pro Bundle:
    FREAK4PRO-FREE

    If you missed out on Michael 4 and Victoria 4 Pro Bundles you can still get them. The MIC4PRO-FREE and VIC4PRO-FREE coupon codes are still active.

    The items I have in my cart are from Zev0 and CJ-Studio, both of which are listed as PA for today. They are new releases, but they are listed on the PA sale page.

    First 5 items in Demonicus Evilius store are DAZ Originals. Platinum Club members 30% discount stacks on the normal 50% giving a total of 65% off. No mistake.

    I just tested it with your exact items and it is working for me. Make sure you have the coupon code entered correctly (though from your screen shot it appears that you do). You may just need to try it again. Something may have changed from when you tried it, and I tested it.

    **Edit** Let me know if it doesn't work.

    I emptied my cart, logged off DAZ, and quit FireFox. Logged in again, added items in cart and the code worked fine.

    Not clear what the problem was.

    The Aiko offer didn't work for me, either. I went through the full shopping cart process before noticing, so I don't know if there's a remedy?
