    i submitted a ticket requesting the difference the day Josie came out and heard nothing and no credit to my account. I checked the status of my ticket and it said I had none, so after seeing the post about some tickets getting lost, I submitted again so I hope I get a response asap .

    You did the right thing cause some tickets did get lost as DAZ has said.

    Thank you for the heads up! I am waiting since more than a week for answers on two tickets. Now I looked and they have simply gone!!!
    Eeeeek! I need that money.

    I just added another comment to say it's not solved and now they are open again. Let's see (of course it is the weekend, I know that).

    What price was Josie supposed to be for PC Members? I thought it was correct- was the site messing up or what?

    It was 61% off when it launched then later it was 66% off.

    This may be a very stupid question, but: How do I redeem the Tier 1 reward? It says "Tier 1 Rewards Unlocked" on the progress bar, but I don't see any coupon code, haven't gotten an email, and can't figure out for the life of me how to get the V5 Starter Bundle. What am I doing wrong?!

    Week 3 rewards don't unlock until 24th. The week hasn't ended yet.

    Week two rewards are here http://www.daz3d.com/pc-anniversary-sale-week-2

    I had to stretch a little, but I went ahead and got the two more items I needed to get to Tier 2 for this week. My budget is more than gone for week 4, but now I've got the three weeks in for the big prize... whatever it may be. I figured since I just needed two more points, I'd go ahead and close it out, and then week 4 will just be whatever I just can't miss... probably no more tier goals for me... but we'll see. Some choice crazy bundles next week could keep me playing :)

    Well, that was kind of funny.
    Both of my tickets got answers that the refund is in my Store Credit and are deemed solved.
    For one of them it is true - the one with only 1 Dollar. LOL
    For the one for $15.36 I got a nice " I apologize for the site miscalculation error." but no store credit back.
    I have reopened it.
    *sigh*

    Okay...this is probably a silly question but I haven't seen it in any of the posts. If we take one or two of the pro bundle prizes if you qualify for them over the two weeks...are you still eligible for the super prize if you get the 3/4 weeks of tier 2. I don't see anything saying you don't but I would hate to find out that I missed out because I took a prize early. Just covering my butt so to speak

    By the way...this PC sale is much better than last years although I am disappointed there aren't more Daz originals released...but I still found enough things to buy at a very reasonable price

    Just read 12 of the 29 pages in this topic, then got bored, so appologies if this has been answered.

    I have been lucky and it seems to have all worked for me, although I have bought a few things I didn't want just to accumulate points to reach tier 1, which then got me something better in a starter bundle, so I guess it was worth it. If I could have bought something I wanted from anywhere in the store that would have been even better.

    The mega prize at the end of the month, how will this be announced as I am guessing the PC Power Up page will disappear once the end of the month arrives ?

    I personally have no idea how they will announce it. I'd assume they'd put it somewhere on the powerup page

    You get the megaprize in addition to whatever weekly prizes you got.

    I have searched using "claim rewards" as the search phrase.

    I WANT the freak 5 pro bundle and I purchased all the way to tier2 in week 3. So far, when I add the desired item to my cart I'm still charged 59.xx
    What gives? I've yet to receive an answer to my last email to the daz team (sales I think)

    What gives? Someone please help

    Thank you

    Due to RealLife™ issues (the nibbled-to-death-by-ducks variety, nothing major) I haven't been able to participate in this PCA nearly as much as I wanted to -- for example, I wanted to do a mid-month reaction post, and instead I'm doing a three-weeks-in one. Perspective disclaimer: I'm a DAZ-Studio/DIM user; I've been in the Platinum Club for eight years and have pretty much picked up all of the older content I could conceivably (and sometimes inconceivably) use either when it came out or in previous 99¢ sales; and in last month's PA-fest I bought a couple of discounted gift certificates intended to be my next few months DAZ-budget (which makes impulse-buying waaaaaaaaaaay too easy :red: ). So, from the better-late-than-never department:

    .
    Good stuff:
    Daily new PlatClub products, $1.59 instead of $1.99, nice -- several have been items I was looking forward to, and excluding bundles I've bought every single one. Especially happy with the Mad Nurse coming out in both Genesis1 and G2F versions! Looks like DAZ has made an effort to provide plenty of new stuff that doesn't require a specific figure generation, 14 out of the 24 $1.59 items and 3 of the 6 PCA freebies (again excluding bundles). Of those, a few are extra-versatile stuff (like basic shaders, environments, some of the furnishings) that seem likely to appeal to the widest range of members regardless of interests or how long we've been at this. In the same vein, no overwhelming theme -- we've gotten a bunch of WestPark'n'related stuff (YAY!), but that's 10 of 30 items so far and they've almost all been things that can lend themselves to wider uses. Last, very glad there are no higher-priced core items!

    I've little interest in the 99¢ category sales or bundles (see disclaimer above), but they're great for newer members to fill up on PlatClub goodies, and I always enjoy the happy squeeing of people deluged by beautiful renderables. And maybe a few 99¢ goodies found their way into my cart when I wasn't looking. :-P

    On the new PA-items side, I said earlier that after a month of 50% off, 44% is a bit lackluster . . . true, but it's still better than the standard 30% intro-discount we'd be getting otherwise, and of the 93 non-PC PowerUp products so far I've gotten 42! :coolsmile: Not to fill out a tier either, but because they were things I genuinely wanted. I won't list my favorites till after this is over, but if you put up a product that was generally versatile and wasn't exterior-only buildings, and/or was for both Genesis1 & G2F? I probably bought it, thanks!

    .
    Not-so-good to frustrating and/or annoying stuff:
    The Power-Up Tiers . . . not a major issue for me since I've had no trouble filling each, but so far the rewards have mostly been either restricted to uselessness, for things I have already, and/or well below expectations. (The exceptions? Thanks to a combo of the PC DAZOriginals sale and one of the Week 1 excludes-new-releases coupons I finally got V6 at a bit better than the 58% off I originally saw it at. And I used a $6 excludes-new-releases coupon on six older maybe-kitbashable-can't-hurt-to-try 99¢ PC items.)

    Josie, aka Yet Another G2F “Base” Figure: I was really hoping for the G2Male/Michael6 launch during this sale, which takes Josie's appearance from a weary oh-god-not-again to near-incandescent rage-inducing. :shut:

    Along with (and aside from) Josie comes a bunch of G2F-only content, and on the flip-side some Genesis1-only content. Yes, there are conversion tricks & utilities, to the extent that they work, but in my increasingly limited rendering-time over the last few months I've rarely had time to get in any practice with them. This means that my current character-setup workflow is to try to make what I need with Genesis1 and G2F side-by-side, and whichever gets over the finish line is the one I use. This is still Genesis1 far more often than G2F, so whatever improvements G2F may be able to offer me I rarely get to.

    .
    “Final” score: great PCA, a step up from several previous years, and kudos to the DAZzlers involved for heeding members' concerns and the much-improved setup. But some nasty snags dragging it down.

    The week 3 awards unlock on the 24th -- then you'll get a coupon to get the bundle for free.

    Have you come across the weekly pages linked from the weekly tabs on the power-up meter? Every one of them says exactly when each week's rewards are unlocked, what the coupon codes are when they are unlocked, and which tier you qualify for in each week. You aren't finding anything by searching for "claim" because there's nothing to claim, the coupon codes you qualify for are just there.

    Wait two days. Then, add the bundle to your cart, and use the coupon code that will have appeared on the Week 3 page.

    I'm excited, although I have not made tier 2 this sale at all. I still have made tier 1, which is nice.

    Now, if it had been M6 stuff released instead of Josie... I'd have made tier 2 in a heartbeat. =-)

    I can't say I'm sad though. Great sale. Good stuff. Lots of nice things and fun overall.

    Thanks for your reply, but I wasn't really expecting anyone to know the answer at this stage, just flagging up that if DAZ remove the PowerUp page at the end of week 4 (as they no longer need to make sales from it) we might not easily find out. Perhaps worth taking a screen dump of one's progress for use in any help desk calls :-)

    I expect that the power up page stays put for another week as the previous week's did list the PA's stores for which the coupon will work ;-)

    But yes, grab the screen shot by all means. "insurance"

    I just purchased two things from Wednesday's Week 4 page. I bought "Plantz" and the "Advanced DAZ Studio Light Bundle" and the purchase was made about 15 minutes before midnight Mountain time zone.

    I started with 4 points in Tier 1 and ended with 5 points in Tier 1. I expected 6 points. Did I get shorted?

    The website is unavailable as I type this because it's the Midnight Witching Hour Tango for Mountain time zone, so it will be a bit before I can check it again.

    Thanks!

    Not yet. I'm still getting a '404 not found' when I click the link. Maybe when I wake up in the morning, it'll be in the store.

    I wonder if we will get the extra 20% for the first day on the Creature morphs. It is not showing so far. They gave it to us on the Josie Bundle, I know because I had to ask for a refund on the difference because I bought it early in the day.

    Still no Portello or Mosquito?

    I've got them in my cart, but I'm waiting to purchase until I see if the discount changes before the end of the day.

    I'm waiting to see what the Portello is before I make a decision on what to pick. I have 3 of the bundles, but when David 5 came out, I could only afford the base figure, so it's a choice of the D5 Pro Bundle or the Portello for me.

    Store credit will be added to your account for the difference. Keep in mind the 66% is only for Platinum Club Members. Regular customers only receive a 30% discount and there were no issues with the pricing for regular customers.
