    The text of the banner could be written better, but when you click on it, what the discount is appears more clearly:

    As our thanks to you for participating in the 2023 Holiday sale, please enjoy the shape portion of the new Michelle for Michael 9 Bundle for free.

    Simply put the bundle in your cart and you will see the price discounted by the amount that the shape would have cost

    The shape they are speaking about is Michael 9 HD Feminine Shape Add-On.

    And what you need to buy is the full bundle:

    https://www.daz3d.com/michelle-for-michael-9-bundle

    Makes no sense. It should say you get the shape product free if you purchase/have the bundle. I got the orange banner and as it stands with current verbiage, Shapes should be free, period.

    The amusing thing is that the Michelle shape is the part of the bundle I want the least--don't care for it. But since it was being thrown in for free with that offer, I went ahead. If you're looking for actual numbers, the special offer changed the price of the bundle from the $41.99 shown on the item page to $20.92 in cart.

    mine only went down to 27. what other discount are you using?

    if you do like the shape for Michael, you can just buy that and not the bundle. Things are discounting when you put them in the cart.

    Probably added the Victorian outfit textures.

    Hmm. I did also have another new release in cart (the Giko wings and poses). Was there a "better discount for buying more than one new release" in play? I can't keep track anymore.

    EDIT: Yeah, looks like there was.

    ANOTHER EDIT for barbult: Nah, I never buy outfit texture add-on packs unless they offer me some fabric changes I can't easily do myself just by changing the base color of the surface.

    I have an orange banner to "Enjoy a free shape" but am disappointed that it isn't really free and requires the purchaseof a bundle

    DAZ has a new kind of free. I guess it is somewhat free if you buy the bundle. The price of the shape is subracted from the bundle total.

    oops - I just added the michelle bundle to my cart and it dropped all the way to $13.92. Now why did that happen? I have a lot of extra stuff in the cart trying to figure out pricing and the best bang for buck, so most would get eliminated if I were to buy the bundle, but ... 

    EDIT: OK --- having Michael 9 in there brings it down to $20. With one current new release it drops the price down to $13. 
    EDIT AGAIN: Nope .. you need two items from the current new releases. Who knows really. it seems to change at a whim with different things in the cart

    @daveso I think what you hit was the

    40% off

    50% off* any 2 of these New Releases

    60% off* any 3 or more

    I no longer try very hard to figure out how things stack and I just throw stuff into the cart to see what real price I'm getting.

    Same here, Then I sort out what I want and wishlist or forget about the rest 

  • It's of no use to me or anyone who isn't into pro bundles, G9, &/or Mike 9. We'll see if they offer me any deals tomorrow when I have cash.

  • murgatroyd314murgatroyd314 Posts: 1,514

    I have no idea how the discounts on Michelle are working, but I'm NOT complaining. $5.52 with the Chiara bundle and one other new item in the cart. (Chiara and the other each got the expected 60%.)

    "Free" item isn't free, and the new bundle definitely isn't $5.52 for me. At this rate, I might finish out January without any Daz purchases for the month. Good for the wallet, I suppose.

    To get to $5.52, someone needs the four following discounts:

    • the 'Owning one or more Michael 9 Bundles' discount
    • the Daz+ discount on Daz Originals
    • the 'Free shape' discount for participating in the December sale
    • two eligible New releases in the cart (today would be the 'Catch-Up' New Releases) alongside the bundle.

    If one of the two eligible New releases is a Daz Original (currently, there is only the dForce Victorian Lady Outfit Texture Add-On), it's possible to get the bundle discounted further with the $6 Daz+ coupon (the one working only on Daz Originals excluding Daz+ items).

  • I tend to rather ignore the store lately. Therefore: Is it token time again? And if so, how long do those live this time?

    Yes, tokens are back. Like before they last for 4 days (or 5 days if purchased after 00:00 UTC ( 7;00 pm EST) . However the maximum percent off is different this time: 

    1 token is 7% off your entire cart
    2 tokens are 13% off your entire cart
    3 tokens are 18% off your entire cart
    4 tokens are 22% off your entire cart
    5 tokens are 25% off your entire cart
    6 tokens are 27% off your entire cart BUT 30% off Daz Originals in your cart
    7 tokens are 29% off your entire cart BUT 35% off Daz Originals in your cart
    8 tokens are 30% off your entire cart BUT 45% off Daz Originals in your cart

    Use a max of 8 Tokens on a single order to get an extra 30 % OFF or 45% off Daz Originals!*

    This Michelle Shape thing is very confusing and giving me a headache. Its definately not free whatever it is. I think I'll pass on it

  • davesodaveso Posts: 6,992

    there are good deals today though. I have quite a few items for 80% + off in my cart. My cutoff is usually 70%. Do I drop the CC on this or not, that is the question. 

  • PerttiAPerttiA Posts: 10,024

    Yeah, with the help of 6off18 coupon, I managed to get the cart for 90% off with an average $2 per item and earned two tokens.

  • TomhipTomhip Posts: 378

    7 tokens are 29% off your entire cart
    8 tokens are 30% off your entire cart

    Are you not seeing the updated version of the onsite message, which seems unambiguous to me:

    Enjoy a Free Shape!

    As our thanks to you for participating in the 2023 Holiday sale,

    Hello,

    I am not sure if this is the right place to ask about this. Please, excuse me if it is not.

    There's this thing that's happened to me several times in the last few days upon buying a lightning deal. Basically, it consists of a product being sold during the 3-hour that the deal lasts with a huge discount of 92 or 93 percent. However, when I add said product to my cart and I open it to follow with the purchase procedure, the discount is no longer the advertised, but 89 percent. It's happened to me several times in a short period of time. And while the difference in price is not that big, especially for products that are not sold in a bundle, it still is bothering me that the final price is not the same as the advertised one. I already submitted a ticket today asking for this. But in the meantime, I wonder if you have any idea of why this is happening.

    I'm attaching a couple of screenshots, which explain clearly what I mean.

    Thank you.

    is the place to complain about advertised sales that do not work. When you go the the most recent posts in that thread, you will see several people complaining about this Lightning Deals pricing problem. It has happened in the past, too.  You submitted a ticket, which is about all you can do. Customer Service not responding is another frequent complaint. Good luck.
