Build your own Flash Sale..Being told code is not valid *NOW FIXED*

edited June 2015 in The Commons

I see the 'Build your own flash sale 60% off coupon' has been changed and a new code issued, but when I put 3 qualifying items in my cart it keeps telling me that the code is invalid. Anyone else having this problem ?

While testing, I put 3 really old items in my cart all around $17 each and still got the same message. Guess it must be broken. :down:

    What are the three items?, as there are a lot of exclusion. It claims that any item getting another discount (such as Fast Grab) is excluded, however it does work with PC+ items over 2$ and DO's with the 30% PC+ discount.

    I don't think I have added a code yet that has worked with the items I wanted so I don't bother with any of them now. It would be handy if clicking on the banner acctually only showed the items it applied to rather than it telling you what items youcan't use it on.

    yep. same thing....
    none of the items are on sale... all of them are old....
    Do I have to check and see if something by the artist is on sale somewhere
    ---
    I only got two in the first sale and had a fast grab as the third item...*
    If it hadn't been such a pain finding a third item I would have bought four things that day.
    ---
    *didn't get the discount on the fast grab... but it did count as a third.
    ----
    anyway to use this coupon (attempt to) I had to take other stuff out of the cart...
    ---
    now I have to move this stuff out and other stuff in and spend time writing about the mess...
    ---
    How much time and work do you expect me to do to GIVE you money?
    ---
    ======
    Dreamlights home system will not recognize my email, so I can't log in and buy his stuff.
    And you can't buy without logging in.
    Note. His system sends be two emails of everything he sells but still can't find me to log me in and they can't figure how to fix it. (Just let me use a credit card and buy it?)
    But how much have I bought from him in a year? Zip, nada, nothing...
    ------
    But everytime Daz gives me fits I go to renderosity or rdna and buy something... makes me feel better.....

    If you check the flashboard on the main store it does say that your cart must contain exactly 3 items, no more, or less, for the 60% discount to kick in, so you can not use this offer whilst also shopping for other items, you would have to submit two separate orders.

    on the first sale... I would have done the fast grab separately ... if I had found a third item...
    but the search engine is useless -- another problem...
    ---
    but this time I found three and still no go...

    The sale is not working for me either. Too bad as I went off buying from DAZ a couple months back when time ran out on my PC+ coupons due to issues with the store, then the next month I didn't use my coupons as the sale I was going to spend them on ended before the day when I was going to complete the purchase.

    I went back to PC Club after taking a year or two off from DAZ to give the "new" DAZ a chance to get things working, but...gotta say the "buy from Rendo to make you feel better" solution suggested above could take the sting off a bit. Still I would like to buy from some of the DAZ vendors' products, but can't when I know they are supposed to be offered at a lower price.

    I just tried three items from my wishlist and it worked - what items are you placing in your carts when it doesn't work?

    sorry duplicate post, not sure how to remove...maybe a "remove post" button beside the "Update Post" button might save the administrators some clean up time

    Okay, I have it working now, thanks. Interpreting the conditions seems to trip us up sometimes. Now working, but I see it won't stack Fastgrab discounts, although it does count them toward the three...weird!...now I have to see if I can find sufficient old non-Fastgrab items I want at their price point before the sale sends...what am I still doing here?!?... :)

    And as always, thanks to the administrator's ... as much as we all have our gripes, I have to say the forums and their admin are the things that keep me coming back.

    (and then I get a message saying "Unable to receive your submission at this time" :roll:)

    [EDIT: what is weird is that Anime School Girl Uniform which is on for 30% off will stack the discount, but FASTGRAB discounts don't ...although understandable cause the latter, I assume involves the vendor agreeing to a reduced cut, whereas the former may only come out of the DAZ end...not a complaint, just an observation...NOW I have to try and find non-Fastgrab sale items!!!

    Greetings,
    For once I actually need help with this...

    I'm trying to put three items, all listed as having been released on April 8th, into my cart and using the TGIBYOF coupon.

    The items are:
    * Porta Potty
    * Exam Room
    * Waitress Uniform for G2F

    It's telling me the code is not valid. Now they're not discounted, they're not new (no green tag), they aren't under $2, they're not gift cards or memberships.

    60 days ago was April 14th, so even if the green tag was malfunctioning, they should be cleanly past the time limit.

    What am I missing? What can be done?

    It may be that the category was build for the first outing for this kind of coupon, on the 8th, and the items were therefore excluded. We will report this, though I can't of course guarantee that it will be fixed.

    BC Movie Stands Twister is by AntFarm and when this promotion started I think his stuff was on flash sale and excluded from the promotion. Now that Ant Farm's flash sale has finished his stuff should be available for this promotion as well, but someone might not have pushed the right buttons on DAZ's side. Try swapping that item out with another to see if that is the issue.

    Edit: The brushes were also on promotion not so long ago, not sure if the issue is with them (or both)

    that was why, but having switched something else in and it out to check and then the other out and it back in to see if it's updated... (tis not)....
    more time... more ticked off --- coupons good until tomorrow maybe I'll check back in...
    But wait there's the freebie of the day... or is it a week?
    ==
    so maybe I need to empty the cart and put the freebie in and run the process... time, time, time....

    Have now tried the same three items I initially wanted and the discount is being applied correctly. Problem appears to have been fixed.

    Thank you. :-)

    I still can't get it to work. My items aren't new and aren't from featured artists either.

  • alan bard newcomeralan bard newcomer Posts: 2,248
    edited December 1969

    if you post what they are... one of the ever vigilant knowers and seers may catch what the problem is....
    I posted mine and someone caught that it was from an artist that wasn't on sale but had been, so it still had a block, but they got it fixed...

  • edited December 1969

    "Build your own flash sale" coupon code doesn't work this time and last time either.

    Please let me know what to do.

    Dear Daz... get the little green banner onto the stuff in the wishlist... save your customers time and aggravation...
    sales surveys suggest happy customers spend more and buy more and tell their friends about you.

  • edited December 1969

    I removed a "new" item and the coupon worked.

    Thank you for your advice.
