    Our info is showing the coupon starts at noon (Utah time) today.

    I'm not seeing this offer, is it one of those only for some offers?

    It came as an email to me - no sign of it in the store here (presumably because it's not meant to be live till Utah noon) 

    It seems to be working for me. Only one small problem: using the code lowered the discount and increased the in cart price. frown

    Same here. Worst Coupon ever. Price increases 4 USD. 

    Looks like a big error in the system for me. Can someone check that? Thanks. 

    They will probably solve it by adding the info "does not stack with existing discounts". which will make it pretty useless.

    So is the EARLYBIRD coupon near-worthless for Daz+ members then? With a new release in the cart as required, the coupon seems to add a paltry 1% discount to the final price of the items that I've tried from:

    https://www.daz3d.com/black-friday-starts-early

    Why do Daz+ members get five items instead of three then? What's the point? "Two extra items at an extra 1% off!"

    Not what I'd call a Black Friday deal.

    Seems like something changed or is fixed. Instead of 4 USD up it now goes 50 Cent down frown

    Something did change. All the PC+ items are now 73% off, instead of the previous 70%. Which is still not a huge deal, since they are 68-69% off to start with.

    Still pretty worthless - I can use my PC+ coupon and get a bigger discount than with this EARLYBIRD coupons (1% on top of the 72% I get without any coupon). I ditched the 3 extra items (to make 5) and went back to the cart I had before the email about EARLYBIRD started.

    If so, then it should go live in about ten minutes (as of this writing). 

  • No change after noon for me. Cart increases in price with coupon.

    Cart price increases with coupon here too. Plus the price with the coupon increased after the Orange Banner appear (but while the offer was shown in the banner and active):

                                       Price Before Orange Banner / Price After Orange Banner

    0 items:                       173.22 / 173.22
    2 items + EARLYBIRD: 159.46 / 160.86
    1 item + EARLYBIRD:   145.49 / 146.89

    The cart I used was the three bundles that I didn't own, plus the cheapest New Release (1 Item) and the two cheapest New Releases (2 items).

    The three bundles plus 1 / 2 items, without EARLYBIRD, were the same before the Orange Banner and After Orange Banner.

    It was set live somewhat earlier, after we flagged the issue up.

    The size of the discount has now been adjusted, so it should beat the base offer for today by at least a little.

  • Yah, 1% discount per item now... which is still useless/laughable imo.
    Well, no problem - money will be spent elsewhere then.

     Mm-m, yes, about 2.8%. That's $1.40 off a $50 cart for the already discounted DO's (from -72% to -73%, as has already been noted), which account for all of the Early Black Friday items.

    No. It's the same. 1% difference.

  • Trying to sell stuff at 73% that didn't sell at 72% is just hilarious. The offer might work for non + memnbers I guess.

    Whenever there is a deal / coupon / announcement that involves having to buy something new to activate it, I always do the math of what the items cost with and without the new items. Particularly when they are not new items I would normally buy.

    Most of the time not buying the new items, but still buying the deal items ends up cheaper.

    In other words...  The buy in to activate the discount usually negates the benefit of the discount.

    Not really, no. cheeky

  • ps2000ps2000 Posts: 278

    Would have been a good deal if the discounts would stack.

    They don't even bother anymore to add a notice that they don't stack.

    Now I wasted my time selecting some items only to find out that the additional black friday discount makes no difference (I am a daz+ member).

    So thanks for nothing I guess.

     

     

  • Yeah looks like the EARLYBIRD coupon overrides both the DAZ+ DO discount and the thankful 50% off deal.  The exta 10% off for having a new item in the cart still works. Giving me a total of 73% off.  I am fine with the 50% off thankful deal being overwrittenby the coupon, but the DAZ+ DO 30% off discount should still work as the coupon and daz+ do not stipulate that they don't mix.  The extra 30% off from DAZ+ would have made me pull the trigger and spend.  Miss the good ole DAZ math days when things stacked properly.

  • I think we do see things wrong. Given discounts, I dumped my cart and saved 100% today. Best Black Friday savings ever.

  • IppotamusIppotamus Posts: 1,579

    Dear Daz,

    I am no longer buying stuff I don't want or need to trigger discounts on things I kind of want at best.

    There are much better deals out there today and tomorrow.

  • I do hope Daz does a more traditional Black Friday event on Friday with actual meaningful savings. Daz is my favorite content site by far, but their main competitor, for example, is doing a flat 50% off everything in the store, and much of the quality content there rarely goes on sale--so 50% off there really means something. Daz and its artists deserve to get a good chunk of the holiday cash being spent right now but they aren't going to get what they deserve if they offer these sales that amount to 1% off when more meaningful savings can be had elsewhere. 

  • Adding the cheapest new item I could find (a texture for an outfit I don't have) to trigger the discount means I add about $3 to trigger a savings of about $3 on the stuff I want. Gee Daz, thanks a whole heap. Buying nothing from you today. Again.

    Indeed; the Items I chose were cheaper during the PC+ Sale. frown  Plus the price on a DAZ+ item went UP with this coupon.  angry

    But the complaint is that the discounts are already 72%, so 73% isn't much chnage - 72% is hardly a trivial discount.

    Well maybe it's just me, I've been only been back at it here for the last month or two, since the PC sale began, but since then such sales have seemed pretty standard.  I realize the rest of the year these are less common. But I think when most people get excited about Black Friday events, they're going to be more drawn to savings that are perceived as unusually exciting. An extra 1% does not fit that bill.

    I do agree, 72% is already a good discount. BUT: having an early bird flash sale, with an extra banner, coupon code and what not rasies a certain expectation, which Daz does not deliver. And which causes frustration, and is counter productive to customer statisfaction. The other store offers a lesser discount, but with no strings attached. No "buy this to get that, but only on rainy saturdays"

    The logic of black friday: 

    - with black friday cupon price is $5.12, 73% discount plus the new item

    - without cupon price is $4.99 74% discount and no new item required

    So actually products are more expensive at black friday and also require an adittional product so you can buy the item at a higher price frown

    Without the EARLYBIRDCoupon, one can use a DAZ+ Coupon, which I have been saving for Black Friday. Plus, as I noted above, many DAZ+ items are cheaper without the coupon as it reduces the discount...
