    This is your periodic reminder that one purple banner may hide another (or, as the French would say, "une bannière violette peut cacher un autre"). It is always worth manually closing a purple banner rather than leaving it up until it expires, just in case you have a second offer hidden behind the first.

     

     

    It would more likely be "une bannière violette peut en cacher une autre".  When writing in French, always ask yourself if you've used enough words.  There's almost always another one needed.

    Just a heads up: Aside from your member discount, the higher discounts for the Select Legacy, Select Classic and Select Knockout Items do not stack.

    The adcopy doesn't say "extra" with those discounts. So what we're getting is 50% Storewide. But if we buy a new release, that 50% will be replaced with a higher discount, depending on which category those items are listed in.

    The prices seem to be jumping around a bit, so I'd say hang off for a bit before you check out. My two new releases in the cart are only getting 20% off instead of the 30% (plus the extra 20%)

    Question: last time DAZ did the "buy this and get an extra discount on our next pro bundle" - those who were eligible, did that discount stack on top of a purple banner discount you may have got?

    I see discounts on that item on its page and in the cart.

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    Huh. Curious. No purple banner for anyone? I've had one the last two pro bundles cos I seem to have a stack of pro bundles...but they didn't do one for anyone?  That kinda sucks.

    For the Massive Holiday Weekend Sale, the adcopy says 50% off storewide "** Excludes New Releases & Gift Cards."  Does this also extend to PC+ Memberships too?

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    yes, excludes memberships.

    Whenever I misunderstood a sale I can be sure that it's explained on the forums! I got it completely wrong and thought that it meant an additional 55% off - now that would have prompted me to buy half the sale. But only 55% is an "average" discount so not troubling myself any further. Thanks for the explanation.

    It seems like the 50% does not trigger there correct, is this wanted or... why are much products just at 40%.

    The Storewide sale said just New Releases are excluded, I thought the 50% should be for ALL other.

    Hi there, just wondering why all of Noggin‘s animals are considered legacy items and reduced accordingly but not the duck - https://www.daz3d.com/noggin-s-duck-mallard?  Could this be a mistake? Cause if so, I‘d like to pick it up too ...

    You are correct. This is what happens when I try to write French late at night.

    The original phrase is, of course, "Un train peut en cacher un autre," which was the slogan that the SNCF used to remind people that crossing railway lines was dangerous because there might be a second train behind the one you could see. I mostly remember that because when I lived in Paris there was a squat on my street that had giant frogs painted all over the walls, accompanied by the words "Une grenouille peut en cacher une autre." ("One frog may hide another.")

    The 40% items -- including Zeddicuss -- are probably from yesterday's Featured Artist sale. If you add a new release, the discount for those items goes to 60%.

    With the requirements met, it goes to 75% for me when in the cart.

    The discounts are all over the place. Daz peeps, try putting the Faveral village bundle, Carrara 8.5, and the Sylvian Wind Warrior bundle in your cart with a new release. All three of these items are in this sale. Carrara drops way down (75% off the sale price), Faveral half off the sale price, and Sylvian hardly at all, only 5% off the sale price. Are the sale discounts supposed to be off the sale price or regular price? Because the system is treating different sale items very differently.

    Yay, it does for me, too! Thanks Cris! Apparently, there's just the sale label missing on the product page.

    Medieval coupon "GET-ME-FREES" does not "work" when buying 3 items together with the Scar pro bundle.

    Due to equal discount distribution, the -10$ & -50$ on DAZ originals also get reduced from the "free" item. There is no point to use the coupon when the item gets reduced to 0 anyways. And that is with another 47$ and 8$ item in the checkout already.

    Why is there a Featured Artists section for 50% off when the entire store is at least 50% off and no extra discount for them from buy-in?

    This sucks, big time. It should be properly explained at least in the small letter.

    Yes, it was bad move. And one that makes me wonder if we should risk falling for that one again; in general that release promotion was the worst of all big releases last month. Now, last one only required a very tiny purchase (and with the sale going on, lots of people do even without the benefit) and provided a flat $10 off the pro bundle. This one says 20% off next pro bundle. If next release offer is similar to current scar one (and do not remove the 20% for pro collectors), it will only mean less than $8 in discount. If it replaces again the regular one, it will be a minor increase of the pro collector discount but that may not be worth today's purchase. Also, the chances of having both benefits not requiring a coupon to trigger are slim.

    Should we risk it? Daz sometimes surprises us for the best. But even if all that works nice, my biggest issue in that we don't know the next bundle theme.

    I'm thinking of making the purchase and return it if i don't like the next bundle. Now i wonder, if i make a purchase with a coupon and return it in full; can i also get the coupon back?

    Perhaps so that those offers remain a bitt longer, if the banner stays up for a while but the storewide sale is the weekend only? Not that I know that, but it is one possible reason.

    That makes sense, apart from the banner staying up longer than the weekend lol

    That works perfectly for me.   Try removing them, clear cache and add them again,  see if it still won't work,   and if so attach a  screen cap  for us.

    As pointed earlier, the discounts do not stack. Store wide sale is 50% off (you can see this without adding to cart) , if you buy a new release the items in the 3 selections have the 50% REPLACED in cart by 75%/65%/55% respectively. Only the 30% of DO for PC+ seems to stack with this.

    So there won't be a banner for previous G8 bundle buyers just this (This has happened already about a month ago). One more bundle I will pass at the release date and might buy later.  XP

    So, of course, the day after I buy the Scar bundle, the Daz Os that are freebies go down in price, allowing you to purchase more. And now this is the second time I've had to re-purchase things and then send in a ticket to refund a purchase I made less than 24 hours previously. They KNEW the prices were going to go down this weekend. I'm sorry, but this is just really bad sales/marketing (once again.) It just makes more work for CS to process refunds, more work for us, the customers, and makes us upset & disgruntled. I know they don't read our complaints in the forums so could a mod please ask WHY they continually do this? angry
