Premier Members! Enjoy 3x the free character bundle options for the next 5 days. Use your Monthly Character Bundle coupon and choose from 30 different character bundles. Don't miss out!
Yeah, Daz. You would do this offer, AFTER I've used my coupon
January just keeps getting better and better *sarcasm*
I'm guessing the monthly coupon doesn't get renewed if you unsubscribe to Premier, then re-subscribe a few days later?

I don't think unsubbing and resubbing will refresh the coupon .
And I'm taking a gamble by holding onto my coupon until the end of the month. I'm not too crazy about the current bundle options, and maybe something good will pop up the last week. I got lucky with Sylvia (love her) and didn't used it on Astaroth. We have two more Thursdays left with...hopefully...two more character bundles to choose from.
...such deals like this should be orange banners or appear in the rotating banner at the top of hte store page as not everyoine uses Facebook
Once coupons from a membership tier are used, they'll stay that way. My first month of Premier ended at the beginning of November and I subscribed again at the end of November: I used all my coupons before letting my subscription lapse and once I renewed it, they were still used.
Only situation when you'll get new coupons is if you're upgrading to a new tier (maybe downgradding but I didn't have an opportunity to check): if someone is planning to upgrade from Daz+ to Premier, they should use their Daz+ coupons and once the upgrade is complete, they will get the three coupons from Premier.
I used mine on Sylvia 2 minutes before the better selection I like Sylvia well enough, but I was hoping for Koa again at some point, and sure enough, he reappeared on the selection!
It was about to tick to a Thursday, though, and while DO characters have generally been coming out recently every two weeks on Thursday, and we got the demon only last week, I wasn't going to take a chance on a female demon being released and Sylvia dropping off rotation. When Koa released, I had already spent my coupon on Kai, and by the time it renewed, Koa was off rotation. I don't feel releasing characters of a similar vein close together has worked so far for this promotion. Your choices are either characters you don't want - as in the case of the filatoon Victoria and Michael for me - or too much of what you do want but don't have the vouchers for.
They already have Tara 9 filling that role.
But if they did release a female counterpart to last week's offering - or any other release, really - then Sylvia would drop off rotation if the pattern used so far repeats. Looks like she'll drop off next week instead if they keep to the same pattern (and that'd actually be more on-pattern). The key thing is that Sylvia was the only character in the selection that I didn't have and was interested in and that she was next for the chop. I hope by next week, when we will probably get a DO release, that pattern will be broken, but the decision would've been the same for me anyway.
Anyway, I'm happy with Sylvia. Just Sod's Law that the only bundle I was more interested in reappeared in a sort of catch-up offer right after I picked up Sylvia Nobody can predict that as we've not seen that pattern before, but hopefully it means they're listening and looking at ways to improve their offer
Definitely won't refresh the coupon. Remember if you unsub, it still keeps your sub active until the end of the paid period.
When I was premier, I used each of my coupons on the first good sale / character bundle I didn't already have piecemeal. Premier is a hard sell without getting the full potential value of those coupons - couldn't risk reaching renewal date without cashing in, though missed out on a few surprise offers like the one this week for being too hasty!
Well, for me the best value for Premier is the extra tokens for purchases. The free bundles help, but they're only relevant if you actually like what's being offered. The token system is useful no matter what you buy. And then the the other monthly coupons are still available, so I'd say give it another go! The extra tokens can definitely make up for the subscription cost, if you find yourself spending even $5 at a time in the store.
Which deal is that? The one the thread starts with is on the promo page https://www.daz3d.com/get-ready-for-bundle-bonanza and that has a rotating banner.
Indeed, very strange move from DAZ that we can't benefit from that deal if we already used for this month the coupon. I think DAZ should overthink this.
Agreed. I think if you've already used the coupon prior to the sale you should qualify for the promotion.
Readers are free to apply this anyway that they see fit ...
I worked for a company that had an engraved sign in their entrance which said "... Our last customer is more important than our next customer ...".
Yeash, it's not a cool think not to do such a thing on the 1st day of the month.
I created a ticket and got an answer: The sale is a bit misleading. Nobody is getting 3 char bunldes with the coupon. Instead there are 3x char bundles to choose, but you still get only one bundle per month.
Yeah, the nature of the coupon encourages you to wait until the last character bundle release of the month. So, this sale should have been at the very end, and applicable if you already used it before then. I couldn't imagine using my coupon on an older bundle like Walter 9 on December 1st and miss out on using it for Slyvia 9 on Christmas.
I understand the annoyance and I'm not surprised it turned out this way. On the bright side, there's always another sale.
It was an interesting experiment, hopefully the next time it's structured differently.
Thanks for the replies, everyone.
@Hurdy3D Thank you for filing a ticket and clearing that up
Tbh, I'd be in more of a mood if Kaede 9 was included. But she isn't. I just hope Astaroth is still available next month. :/
We all go through this together
Kaede 9 would be a great option, maybe added later, and I think Astaroth will remain part of the collection for a while. It's a good idea for them to keep them, because it creates an incentive to stay subbed. Gotta get all those free bundles!
Look at the positive side.. you could have basically only one or zero options, which is where I'm sitting. I've put off picking up Astaroth as both the type of character and the bundled items are all things that are already duplicated multiple times across my runtimes, and they're not the sort of thing I have a lot of use for anyway... The thing is, it's the ONLY one of the bundles offered where I don't already own the character and most or all of the items, so I'm just sitting on the offer at the moment and hoping we get an alternate free bundle offer before the end of the month...
Like all things Daz, it's good for the people who can get in on it. I'll check again in March, maybe.
