but...but...it's a SPECTAULAR FREE bundle. All week long the bundles have been on offer for a lot less then having to spectacularly fork over more cash. It's spectacularly dumb incentive sale.
and someone needs to issued a dictionary and look up the definition of FREE. FREE is when I as the accepting party is under no obligation to provide anything in acceptable of the offer. Bonus, extra, okay, but not free
Appears the discounts on featured artists and top sellers aren't adjusting when you add a new release into the cart.
Uhm, the punch discount on debut new seems to have stopped working. I just put that new retro UFO in my cart and the price stayed the same although I have a 35% punch discount - which the cart displays in that little blueish banner it has for this. It's just not factored in, unfortunately. Maybe someone should look into this.
It worked earlier today with a Still New for me.
Edit: The UFO seems the problem, discount is working with the Floral Fairy Outfit.
It's FREE*, not FREE.
Always look for the devil's mark; commonly known as THE ASTERISK, the devil is in the details!
*FEE
The best thing about that offer is that most of them are showing up for $94.47 (and quite a few are significantly less) so unless you're already determined to spend $100, you're better off just... buying the bundle.
HA ! But there isn't one, neither on the banner nor on the top of today's deals page.
You need to get all the way down to that category, to get that sweet feeling of getting punched in the balls. With a sledge hammer.
I would guess it's because, despite getting great deals and even nice freebies people still complained. So here's a lil SPECIAL deal.
You're loved and appreciated DAZ people,thanks for the freebies and happy new year
Well, I already own all the bundles in that offer and don't even have an orange banner for having them all. So, absolutely no incentive for me to spend money today. In case there is something better tomorrow I'll just buy one of the cheap DAZ+ items I have on my wislist to keep up my punch discount.
Or, just wait a little while and they will be selling for 5$ each like last week.
As a bonus for a 100$ purchase, I would have expected at least the latest bundles, not those that are over one year old.
Yeah its a rest day for our wallets :]
Anyone else holding out hope there will be one last big blowout for the punchcard sale?
I was hoping the punch card for the still-new items would get fixed. I planned to pick up the merfolk but alas, no additional savings.
The punch card discount is working for older 'Still New' releases; but yesterday's new releases are not being included in the 'Still New' releases.
The issue with the recent Still New items has been reported, but I have no idea when it will be seen.
I was ... but I finally diagnosed my computer problems ... and my rendering computer needs a new power supply. I am not sure I can complain as it put up with 4 years of heavy use and suspiciously poor electrical input from the building's wiring (surges, dips, and poor grounding).
Have you considered a UPS (preferably a pure sine wave one) that can correct these problems?
I would be, but the only thing I want to buy is the UFO and it's not using my punch card right now, so I'll be back at 10% tomorrow. I know it's being looked at, but it's 2am here right now and the only reason I'm awake now is because the upstairs neighbors are... very noisy tonight. If I go to bed right now, it's not fixed. By the time I wake up tomorrow, it'll be gone. Maybe starting the sale at midnight MST when no one is awake to address the issues isn't the best idea. The (sale) day is 2/3 done, and so are office hours in SLC...
From what yal more experienced DAZ buyers have said, I learned it is a good idea to only buy DAZ+ items I really, really like, so that down the road when there is a month of punch cards discounts I can just buy the minimum each day to keep my punch discard rolling, and still get something I probably partially like. That way I hopefully won't get stuck buying things I don't like at all in order to just get a punch.
Also, can you confirm that it seems that the REALLY big sale times during the year for Daz look like Pre-black Friday through new years, some stuff in March, some stuff around May-June, then around daz aniversary?
Thanks. :)
ditto here... I've already spent over $300.00 this month...I'm NOT spending another $100.00... Daz should GIVE me a free bundle for all I bought! sheesh.... (I'm sure I'm not the only one)
LOL I thought todays "special" was pretty lame too. I mean as was mentioned it is a free old bundle. It also requires buying $100 worth of stuff on stuff with less discount then much of the month had. MAYBE, if they had brought back like all of the grab bag sales, through the month and some of the other specials like buy a new release and get to pick some scary characters, then it would have icentivized me to spend up to $100 because I would get a bunch of other specials too and the final $100 bundle was just icing on the cake. BUT... after I just got the Noska3099 bundle, santa sleigh bundle, jinx jones captain bundle, Into the west 8.1 mega bundle, space explorers bundle, and battle for the moon bundle, all together for $34.50, this deal is not enticing at all. It just makes me decide that today is a good $2.08 spending day on daz + items. :) lol
I think this month I have spent like $800 in daz credit. I bought like $600 in gift cards when they had the 25% gift card discount price on cyber Monday. I have gotten GREAT deals, but I probably would still be sitting on much of my credit if the deals had not been so good.
WOW... I'm glad I'm not the only Daz addict... ;) lol!!!
In my defense this was my first year messing with Daz, but what I like I get into heavily, and I saved up some money hoping that there would be some really cool Black Friday sales which where not so great, for folks who did not understand punch cards (which I was one of at the time). Before then I read that some of yal thought the December holiday sales were awesome, so I took a big leap when that 25% gift card discount was a thing! SO happy I did. I just have to learn how to use all the tools and features of all this really neat stuff! lol :)
Takes a while to learn EVERYTHING Daz has to offer and I must admit I a few things still have me stumped after 10+ years. And Daz keeps adding stuff that I scratch my head a lot with... but I'm learning... slowly. lol. I'm probably NEVER gonna use all that I've bought over the years... but I really don't have any bad vices so I'm just making sure I render something every day to keep what I have bought from gathering dust... lol. Welcome to the Daz madness!!!!!!!!!
The silly bundle sale continues today. I suppose there's 2023 to look forward to!
Yup, and the UFO still doesn't apply the punch card, only today mine's at 10% instead of 35. And tomorrow it will roll off of "still New." Here's my middle finger.
I can see from the thread that the Still New not getting punch discount has been reported. Pity it doesn't look like being fixed.
For me this seems to only be a problem for some on the main page. So this does work:
https://www.daz3d.com/the-black-house-base
But this does not:
https://www.daz3d.com/stf-retro-ufo
Spending 100+ for a free bundle is a far cry from the other bundle sales requiring us to spend less. Besides, it does not even include the Crow 8.1 Mega Bundle, which I want, in the deal. Daz recently set a precedent with the six bundles for $10 with code or twelve bundles for $10 if you buy a new release or something like that. This last hoorah sale of the year has made me close my wallet for a while.
$-0.06 That's my balance change this December...
In my book, this punch card sale failed. I remember spending a couple of hundred in previous years.
Happy new year ;)
ps: 2022-CATCHUP doesn't work if you pick for example https://www.daz3d.com/staff-picks-for-genesis-8-females-bundle-1 and https://www.daz3d.com/staff-picks-for-genesis-8-females-bundle-2. Just these two items.
It seems to be one day's releases. I have tried another report method in the hope of getting a response, in the meantime you could take a screenshot showing that the items are in the Still New list on the promo page, purchase, and ask for a refund on the missing discount.
I know there's nothing that could be done about it now, but I see two problems in this clause.
1) you're placing the burden of proof entirely on the customer (not person you, entity you). It's easy to verify that it would have been on Still New because its release date was 2-3 days ago. Why does one need to provide screenshots for what should be obvious? Likewise with other discounts, especially from items that link directly from the main sale page. Do you not keep an archive of your deals? (You really should, and if the argument is that it's too much to store and maintain, you're having too many sales. Week-long sales instead of daily would reduce that need by 6/7).
2) You're asking people to essentially pay a deposit on their discount, with a big fat "maybe" stamped on it. That surplus is sitting in your balance for you to play with, invest and distribute for your benefit until it hits its place in your support queue, which then returns to the queue until the customer provides the burden of proof outlined above and waits for review.
None of that leaves room for people who only have or are willing to spend the amount it should have been discounted in the first place, but couldn't because of your error. One should not have to give you a loan for the service that you promised in the moment. In other words, you need a rain-check system.
I've been in your shoes only a couple years ago, but it didn't take too long to learn a few things about DAZ sales:
