    I wonder if yesterday was an exception or error, and everyone got the free option? Did someone not get the free option yesterday?

    I'll buy a $1 gift card today and we'll see how it is tomorrow.

    I haven't bought anything in a while, and I have no punches. I got no freebie from daz's "advent calender" yesterday or today. I only show one option, today/yesterday and it's $2.99.

    ok interesting. The last time I spent money or store credit was on a gift card on 28-NOV. It didn't give me a punch, but I did get the free option yesterday (but not today). Perhaps this means buying anything (including a gift card) gives you the free option for 4 days? Let's see if this theory holds.

    For any fans of Zeddicuss*, today is fantastic day to clear your wishlists.

    With 3 stamps, Premier, 8 tokens, 1 New Release, Zeddicus store goes down to 92% off and still has room for a coupon.

     

    * Yeah, yeah Premier required for best deal.

     

    Normally buying postures is not cost-effective, but postures are different from other items that I buy and then throw away in the warehouse. They are the most used items, and the price makes me think about using the coupon now.

    I saw they were up on the main page.

    But as a Daz+ no tokens member it's not such a fun deal unfortunately. (79%)

    Definitely highlights the difference between + and P membership

    That new divide is not going away. Premier is the important tier now. D+ gets about a D+ in terms of value and importance these days. We've seen a fair number of promos not where D+ members get nothing, only for Premier. That's not even a complaint right now. It's an acknowledgment of the new status quo.

    Also as I haven't been entertained enough by current offerings to buy them, advent calendar is a bit of a personal bust so far.

    Of course Premier gets the better deals, but there is nothing in the Zeddicus offer under diuscussion that actually excludes Daz+ members as far as I can see - they get smaller discounts, but they do get discounts over base members.

    I didn't mention Zeddicus. Just what I said about Premiere and D+, and I stand behind that. D+: Triple the cost of it (accounting for ubiquitous and Daz-encouraged discounts of annual subscription) and eliminate a lot of its value. Good job! Obviously, I'm not renewing it and I'll see how I actually feel about a month here a month there on Premier - Mostly, I'll be saving a lot of money for a while.

    today the calendar  freebie is offering a free texture to a dress that does not even exist in the DAZ products. Winter Dress Textures | Daz 3D, and the free product is for Poser. What a waste.

    Actually... B25Winter. No link in either direction, but we lost many of them years ago.

    You can report this kind of problem in the reporting thread and moderators will usually forward them to the team in charge of the store.

    Many discounts are added together today, Minerva 9 HD Christmas Bundle only $4.23 (95%Off)  and more tools only 88% off.

    I got a lot of tools on my wish list and it was a happy Monday, the only trouble was choosing only 15.

    Isn't the freebie different for everyone?

    Yeah, I love how if looks thicker, so... insulated, except where it's extraordinarily drafty.

    Kind of like "cold shoulder" sweaters, which I never understood. If I've gone to the point of sweaters, I want maximum coverage, thanks. "Cold" is the opposite of what I'm after.

    Ok, yesterday I bought a $1 gift card, and nothing else. It didn't give me a punch, but it did give me the free option in the advent calendar today. Today I'm not spending any money, I'll report back tomorrow.

    Looks like the Lightning Deal stacking is over, I've only been getting 60% off all day. I wonder if this because I have no recent purchases, or was it never supposed to stack and Daz fixed it? I never know which discounts are intentional and which are happy accidents. 

  • Matt_CastleMatt_Castle Posts: 2,591

    I have to say, I really dislike this punch card sales structure that's trying to force you to buy every day or lose your entire discount.

    Aside from the fact it's ridiculous to assume that the store is going to put out something that everyone actually wants or can use every day (particularly when there's often theming to each day), or that everyone's schedule allows them to check out the store everyday, the nature of other promotions like store tokens strongly incentivises putting together big carts every few days rather than making lots of tiny purchases.

    As is, given I've been less than 100% for the last few days and have a lot of things to juggle (as well as keeping track of the rollover being in a different time zone), I've managed to drop my discount for this and now feel strongly disincentivised to build it back up.

    You're more likely to get lucky when they are lots of Daz Originals items included in a sale, like during the black friday sale.

    Now that it has ended, with something like 1300-1400 Daz Originals included in the Featured Artists selection, you're less likely to have a Daz Originals with an additionnal discount in your LDs.
