    Also a happy note from me... I just used my $6.00 off on $18.00 coupon code on 8 $2.99 items and got them for $1.75 each!  Only bummer for me is that my gift certificate is almost used up so I couldn't use it... Hoping for another GC sale soon... Merry Christmas to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

    Although the discounts were not really great, there was a Gift Card sale a few days ago. None-the-less I'm hoping for a better one before Christmas

    awee... and I missed it?  :(... That's what I get for going away for a day... pft... lol

    btw... gift card is all gone (sighs and cries) :(.............

    It lasted a couple of days but you didn't miss much. Discounts were only 10%/15% off. But I guess if you were about out of credit you might bought enough to get you through until the next sale.

    Yeah.. seems to me I had a 100dollar one in my cart.. then went to sleep... needless to sale was over when I woke up :(

    A Gift for You

    Buy any 2+ Debut New Releases to get an EXTRA 50% OFF*
    any 1 gift with Coupon Code GIFT-GIVING

    I used the coupon code and the item is not free, I am just getting 50% off.

    We are getting to a state where I have to buy items and use a Coupon Code to get some % OFF?

    It says "get an EXTRA 50% OFF". Why would you expect it to be free?
    When Daz says "a gift for you" they are using the term "gift" pretty loosely. You can't get the "gift" unless you pay Daz considerable money for it.

    I think the phrasing is quite confusing for non-english speakers, between the word "gift", the "1" instead of "one" and the weird cut at the middle of the sentence. That's what got me, anyway, and it seems I was not alone (I'm not the OP of this). Well, it's OK, I don't need two of debut new releases anyway, not using G9 ^^

    Honestly a lot of their sale language isn't easy to understand for native speakers either. Just the simple act of acting like "additional" and "extra" have two different meanings when one is literally used as a definition of the other in the dictionary is enough to drive one mad. "Well, when we say 'extra,' we mean this, and when we say 'additional' we mean...." Nah man, look up extra, and the definition is one word: additional.  Sales propaganda is always meant to trip you up to do something you otherwise wouldn't, and Americans excel at it. More so with the fine print buried behind special symbols like ¥ and * (and thirty seconds of fast-forwarded side effects at the end of every drug commercial). Vague language ensures that they can talk themselves out of making a concrete promise by saying "well, what we meant was..."

  • Is the punch strictly 24 hours and tied to a certain time zone? I think i just fell short by a small bit yesterday...

    There is a break between the lines. Usually, that means a 2nd sale option. "any 1 gift with Coupon Code GIFT-GIVING" 

    I remember Daz3D giving away Gen6, Gen7 pro, or starter bundles for free, etc... for PC+ people or just because. So based on past experience, I'm checking on daz3d.com sometimes and pay for the membership. Moreover, I pay for PC+ membership considerable money.

  • So it is 50% off the two debut new release plus 50% off one in the group for gift for you. 

  • There are some Dreamlight items which don't get the $1.99 discount (for buying the newest dreamlight release) but only this discount for PA-catalog items:

    - Yummy Pizza
    - Photo Studio 2022
    - On the Ground - Rocks

    Please fix!

    Will inquire, but if these are in the selection, it may be they were not meant to be there.

    It is just plain weird to call something a 'gift' that one needs to pay for, whatever the discount. 

  • XelloszXellosz Posts: 742

    So it is 50% off the two debut new release plus 50% off one in the group for gift for you. 

    It's replacing the original 30%off for the 2new releases, so just 50% off not 65%off in the cart. Thx. For looking into the original question.

    They don't, when it doesn't lead to extra sales... wink and usually in my case they only manage to fail utterly with stuff like this.

    It is the discount that is the 'gift' , not the item itself.

    http://www.daz3d.com/night-burokrat-bundle is advertised with:

    "This bundle also includes a remade version of the Lyanna Hair, it was made from the Original geometric base so that it works 100% Native in Genesis 9."

    Only problem is: After installing the bundle with DIM I can not find this hair anywhere.

    EDIT: Maybe I did not say it clear enough - the "Free Hair" advertised in http://www.daz3d.com/night-burokrat-bundle is MISSING in the downloaded packages

    cant find the hair in my Product Library (only the G8/8.1 one)

     

     

    Maybe someone can help me with the makeup  too.
    What am I doing wrong with the makeup, where has the eyeliner gone?

    Go to the Installed  tab in DIM, right click on the hair and select Show Installed Files from the menu.  I have to do this for many products, which is why I leave DIM open much of the time...

    I understood the Gift for you to mean an extra 50% off of 1 item. However, I am not getting my 35% punch card on top of it. The gift comes out at 65% instead of the 77% I expected

    There's no ticket icon on this offer, so the loyalty discount is not supposed to apply

    as.. I... understand it... the add says... "a remade version of the Lyanna Hair"... so I am assuming (uses word loosely) that you need to OWN the hair for the remake to work.  Which.. should be in the added list of Required Products???

     Even for owners of the G8 version (wich I am), the hair would need at least one file to work on G9 as advertised, BUT - there is no file.

    I don't have the hair... so can't test it... Probably won't hear an answer til Monday... I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya :)

  • Buzzing by now and then I have noticed that the Flash sale keeps changing the list of participating stores. hehehe ... so if everybody is expected to buy 2 new things [to get the best price on those] and then shop at the participating stores, I would think there are not enough new things to keep up with all that. Just my 2 cents.

    Current flash sale isn't adding the punch card discount
