    Any PC+ members tried their $6 off DAZ originals coupon on the "$5 HD add ons" today and finding it "not valid"? It absolutely should work - they are Daz originals and they are under the $6 coupon price so there should be no reason whatsoever that it should be returning with a "coupon not valid". 

    edit: doesn't work on the $10 core characters either.

    Sale page says these discounts don't stack with other offers. That usually includes coupons.

    returns "page not found" despite the texture pack for the outfit being released today.

    There was a sku code issue. Was off by a digit. The Stonemason item that appeared was not for release today and was knocking the outfit out of its slot. It's now been corrected.

    You've got to be kidding me. Isn't that what I pay for?? To be able to get $6 off a daz original?? I can understand a discount not stacking but to take away our coupons that we pay for is crossing the line. The PC coupons have become more and more useless, and PC membership is become more useless too. This is one of the main reasons I'm not renewing.

    I don't know if it's still the case but coupons used to have problems working with "fixed price" offers like this one. It might be why they're now excluded.

    Leaving me with no new items that interest me today - thanks for saving me money, DAZ!

    The "no stacking" rule means that the special (huge) 3% off discount doesn't apply to any of the offers today - eg the HD Add-ons.

    This is getting silly.

    If the HDs are in new or clearance, yes, that is true.

  • Alias52Alias52 Posts: 302

    So, it is literally only the small selection of artists that you can get 3% off from? Nothing else it applies to. Pretty sure that 3% wasn't going to break the bank, but having it being a pushed offer over the last few days, it would have been nice to have a selection of more items you could spend it on...

    If you look at the HD offer on today's sale page, you will see that it is neither new items or clearance items. This kind of thing is exactly why I warn people off of these ridiculous vague percent deals with high buy ins.

    It doesn't pertain only to the items on the promo page, just excludes Gift Cards, Interactive Licenses, or a PC+ Membership, flippednormals, clearance and new items.

    Edit: I apologize, I have to correct myself, obviously, if Daz stipulates a category to not be able to stack with other offers, that would also exclude. Didn't realize there were some exclusions I had forgotten,.

    ... and the offers you actually want to buy ...

    There is literally nothing in today’s sale that can take advantage of the 3% off. And from the initial ad, I got the feeling it would stack daily 3%, 6%, 9%.... But it’s just 3% per day.

    You can spend it on items not on today's sale page too, like for example products from stores which are on sale as part of yesterday's sale or Wolfgang's bundle release sale.

    Where is the "Core" scifi environment from Stonemason? Previously available here :https://www.daz3d.com/core . It looks amazing.

    I refuse to buy anything else until I can get that product :((

    I swear that it was marketed as such, because I went into this thinking the same.

    Just ridiculous.

    My first reading of the promo was that we would get 3% off after spending $30 the previous day, it didn't read to me as offering a cumulative discount.

  • WandWWandW Posts: 2,846

    These "Discount doesn’t stack with any other offers" promos are really a stick in the eye to PC+ members.  angry

    I did  get a coupon code for 50 cents off each 'Clearance item'  item ; wow... frown

    The HD add-ons for Sydney 8 and Mr Woo 8 are absent from today's sale on HD add-ons. Is that a mistake? It seems odd to exclude them specifically from a lineup that seems otherwise comprehensive from Victoria 8 through Juan Carlos 8.

    Asked about this.

    As someone who is still new to DAZ I find sales present a challenge in themselves. The only sales I can figure out, that I feel confident in knowing how much I'm saving, are the simple ones. I have never encountered a business with more convuluted conditions and limitattions for sales with coupons, codes, or memberships. I suspect some sales are so Byzantine, DAZ has trouble figuring them out. They're almost as complicated and random as dforce.

    I'm sorry if my sarcasm has offended anyone, because even with their often complicated deals, DAZ still has some spectacular sales. The current core character for $10, and HD add-on for $5 is a good example. As a new user, this is very attractive, and very much appreciated.

    (Get an EXTRA 3% OFF every day for the rest of the week when you spend $30+ each day through Friday.)

    The red might be a bit misleading.

    But I think it is a cumulative discount.

    I've spent over $30 on each of the past three days (don't look at me like that, I know I have a problem, OK?) If I add a non-new item that's priced at 100%, it shows up in my cart at 9% off, suggesting strongly that the 3% for the previous days has stacked up.

    Of course on items that are already discounted, it's complicated by the usual DAZ Math™. So, for example, if you choose an item that's 60%, what you get is a 9% discount on 40%, which ... multiply by 0.91, carry the one, divide by the square root of the Planck constant, convert to hexadecimal and express in the next higher units ... works out as 64% or possibly 63%, depending on how the rounding works. Which makes it harder to see that you're actually getting a 9% discount.

    EDIT: Incidentally, as noted on the promo pages, the 3%-per-day discount doesn't apply to lots of things, including many of the day's special offers and newly-released items. Or, of course, FastGrab items.

    Not, of course, to be confused with The Core, which is also by Stonemason (although sold to DAZ and now marked only as a DAZ Original), but which is a much older and smaller product. It's still a pretty good one, though, if you don't mind converting the materials. The new one looks fancy, though.

    Incidentally, the new released-in-error one is still showing up on the site, and can be wishlisted and even added to your shopping cart. Not sure I'd recommend buying it today, though. Perhaps when it's officially released, there'll be some nice additional discounts associated with it. Patience, people, patience ...

    You forgot to apply Burke's Dimensional Coefficient to allow for the conversion of a non-solid three dimensional object in to a projected 2 dimensional result.

    D'oh. (slaps forehead in embarrassment, shakes head at own carelessness).

    The labyrinthine nature of their sales is a part of their business strategy. It forces inspires you to think about the store a lot, trying to figure it out. The more time you spend thinking about the DAZ store the more likely you are to spend something sooner or later. At least that's my theory.

    You should install the browser add-on which at least calculates the % you're actually getting, regardless of what the banners made you think you should be getting.

    Yes- this and constantly requiring you to scroll through pages and pages of content - where you will find lots of stuff you've never seen before but realise that you most definitely want. It's a strategy that keeps making us dive back into the store. 

    There is some fun in it - but it's frequently exhausting.

    I just wish it could be done more kindly and without the constant errors and shifting unclear conditions.
