    I'm confused again. I thought the Beta period ended today and thus tomorrow our PC memberships would revert back. Why then is there now a 07-14Save6 coupon available in my account? If I use this coupon will it extend my PC+ beta membership another month?

    Just converted my account and got JULY coupons and not JUNE. SHould have waited til; next week and got an extra July coupon, so I'm less than 30 seconds into trying PC Plus and already feeling burned.

    Try using the June coupons, I used the $6 off $18 one a few hours ago.

    The beta runs through July 31.

    I'm not going to flame the PC+ program.
    1) it is a Beta program, 2) its not for me
    I can see a value in the PC+ program. Its just not in my budget to be in it.
    In July, I will happily convert back to the basic plan and continue on as normal.

    I think I have to agree with you. I wish I could afford to take advantage of PC+, but it's just not an option for me right now.

    Thanks for the answer. I sadly missed that tidbit of information. I kept reading "until the end of the month" thinking it meant this month. Dang, I guess I'm stuck for another month. On a good note, $6.00 coming off my next order :)

    So did the June coupons expire already? July is only available now?

    Apparently. I figured the mechanics of all this was going to be way too complex for the people who manage the store to handle, but it's pretty sad to be proved correct this quickly.

    You can't try what you didn't get.

    Change the 07 to 06 and see if it works.

    A great suggestion. And as as it turned out, I had to do that anyway, because the July coupons that I did get aren't actually working yet. '-' The June ones DID work however, so that ended up okay.

    It worked, I seen June coupons originally, But never wrote them down since they are there, so when I went to use them only July was there, so changing then to 06 worked, thank you

    After picking up a number of PC $1.99 items that had been sitting in my Wishlist for a long time, I converted to PC Plus on the 29th and then used my two new - June - coupons on the 30th. So thus far the new version of the Club has been great for me. But I must admit that all these changing offers and stacking coupons, etc., do become rather confusing at times. I would be happier if Daz could work out a price point for PC items that works well for them and for the artists and then stick with that price, just like Renderosity's Prime Club. I have been quite happy to pay $3.50 for new, high-quality items at that low price, and I am also pleased when older items show up as Prime Classics at $3.50 for a limited time (although in many cases I had already purchased these items at higher prices when they first came out). If $1.99 is too low a price for Platinum Club items, as appears to be the case, then Daz should try $2.99 or $3.49 and stick with that price for all PC items, perhaps adding some additional items temporarily like Renderosity does. The other thing that inspires me to buy more at Renderosity is the various percentage off coupons (varying between 10 and 35% off for sale items and up to 50% off for non-sale items) that are offered from time to time (these coupons do not apply to Prime Club items). With these coupons I don't have to figure out lots of confusing conditions or see who the vendor is or buy something that does not really interest me in order to get a discount on other items, I simply fill up my shoppping cart and then use the coupon. My recommendation to Daz is to follow the KISS principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid) rather than keep offering so many confusing offers. Give us clear pricing and clear discounts/coupons (perhaps with higher discounts for PC members) and see how that works.

    OK, I got into the Beta too (not going to buy new PC items for sure this month), that was one freebie too much to pass up.
    [...]

    Was there another PC+ freebie but the Weazel ? Just asking..

    Yes, 'Wine Me' is free for a limited time http://www.daz3d.com/wine-me

    On a different note,

    Zev0 & DraagonStorms Skinbuilder Pro (http://www.daz3d.com/skin-builder-for-genesis-and-genesis2-female-s) is not showing the 'Pumped Up' discount despite not being flagged as New, but does show the 30% PC+ discount.

    Hi folks. Yes, WIne Me is free for a limited time and this is not a DAZ O freebie, but instead a Thank You from a vendor and not something you should think is a standard. :) I very much like the new PC+ features and this was my idea for saying thank you and supporting the club membership.

    Well... as I don't believe in statistics anyway, I have given up on the real value of this evaluation of this PC+ ... LOL

    Its a generous offer, I'm sure many are very grateful, I had already purchased the item so its not an incentive to me to join the PC+.
    I'm still waiting for Daz to come up with something that actually doesn't spit in the eye of those who have already spent money here.

    Don't think DAZ is trying to spit in anyones eye.
    They are just facing the predicament where it is time to increase prices, and how to do that without upsetting people too badly and finding ways to increase the value of the program even with the new pricing.
    It is not an easy thing to do, and they are trying hard to be as fair as they can with something that has to be done.

    Including all the PA products should be a major improvement to the program that was not there before, thousands of additional products that were previously not part of the program. I know that is something I am looking forward to as a customer

    And thank you Dumorian and DzFire for the freebies, and to all the vendors who volunteered to participate.

    I understand that they need to increase prices and wish that they would just get on and do so, I find little value in something that gives something away that I've paid for, time after time we are seeing Daz give something away that a lot of us paid for, I am just having real trouble with feeling that its worth spending my money here, the lesson they seem to be sending is that if you hang around long enough they will give it away so don't buy it.
    Also I find little worth in something that requires me to have a degree in maths and spend ages working out how to get the offered deals.
    I realise that the PA's are just trying to make a living but I think it needs to be remembered that for most this is a hobby and as prices increase people have less money to spend on hobbies, I know that I've had to cut my 3D budget drastically recently and 1 thing that would help would have been being able to rely on the consistency of affordable content from the PC club, the PC + seems to remove that reassurance.
