    $200+ of stuff to get a discount on Gift Cards is not an appealing promotion to me.  And resetting punches to zero after missing a day instead of just dropping one punch is rediculous.  I fairly certain they've previously done sales with one punch for each of the last three days of spending rather than resetting the count.  Maybe that was just too confusing.

    I guess just wishlisting stuff for a while will be good practice for when my DAZ+ membership expires in July.  Spent way too much on these sales anyway so I guess they were successful.  Until they aren't.

    That is an interesting loophole! You're right! I read it as not for GCs. Well, with $200 buy-in, obviously only for the big-spenders!

    You're also right about the punches on previous sales - Missing a day used to only drop one punch.

    I would be done, but I have fresh Premier coupons. I'm using them both today while I have punches, some tokens, WL discount, cheap buy-in items, and base 81% off on a great many G8-8.1 Pro & Mega Bundles.

    Wow, okay, totally didn't expect the advent calendar to extend into January! Waffled yesterday on whether to get something to keep my punches going, but figured it would be null and void once January rolled in, so I didn't bother. Back to zero. Still got offered a freebie from my WL, though, so cheers to that.

    Cheers to that! Hope you grabbed the freebie! Looks like the calendar is actually done - not there now. Good thing I looked at it at a little after Daz midnight. I got https://www.daz3d.com/egyptian-pharaoh-makeup for free and it's an item I wanted - it includes the headdress! I've had it in and out of my cart for a while 'cause it was on sale but not a great deal, etc. So, thanks Daz!

    Nice! Glad you got a good score! Mine was a hair I have no specific plans for, but I'm sure I'll use at some point. Thankfully I grabbed it promptly... what a weird error to have a whole extra month appear. But with the demise of that and the reset of my punches, looks like I'm out of the spending game until the winds shift. Ah well. Fun while it lasted.

  • Gift cards sadly don't discount with the 20% off $200 cart. First thing I tried yesterday and then today.

    Whoa! That's even *WORSE* a deal than I thought. And the Ad only says that they don't count towards the total. Nothing about not being included in the discount.

    Ah! So, no loophole. $200 buy-in is insane, anyway.

    Happy New Year, everyone! It's so quiet here. I think, for me, this has been the best Daz holiday sale ever. Thanks Daz. I can't say another word. I'm done shopping now. And now they have the GC sale, but the percentages are low. 5% for D+, 10% for Premier, add 5% with a debut new item. No. Thanks anyway. >_>

    Interesting - so it's another extended bonus extra last chance final final final 24 hours day. Deals are the same as yesterday, plus a gift card sale, so anyone who waited yesterday would be able to get $15-$30 back in pocket for the exact same cart today, (if they do a gift card cart first) and reach all the other discount thresholds. Bad luck to whoever bought a big cart yesterday.

    Gift card discounts are coming, and the calendar is back, but this? This Missed definitely not my miss!

    The page is broken. I'd be really surprised if the calendar delivers any gifts. And it's already gone off the page!

    Same offers as yesterday, but I forgot to buy something so now i've lost all my punchcards, therefore it's all much worse

    Looks like I won't be buying anything today either then

    I was waiting for coupons to renew so I could get Mateo bundle and its been taken out of the choices. This fully sucks. Hopefully something shows up I want. The rest of the sale I find hard to really check as I only have my phone and it's way to hard to figure this all out.

    I suppose you did try to add the bundle to your cart, using the coupon:

    Glad to hear you didn't miss out on using your character bundle coupon for December- that would've been a real loss.

    Mateo still shows up as one of the choices for the Premier Character Coupon.

  • I did pretty well this holiday. There were some days I didn't do the calendar, most because I didn't like either option. Of the days I did, 7 were off my WL (2 free). The other 10 were potentially useful (poses, weapons, outfits) or cool things I'd somehow missed.

    I also picked up 5 bundles, which I usually don't get (price &/or too many things I don't want) between November/December/January free premier bundles and super-good (<$10 each) deals on others. Lahr, Sylvia, & Tara free, plus the Minerva & Nikolai Christmas bundles. Also had a $15 cart with several nice things including Tara Succubus add-on and Riversoft's Prop Minion, which I've wanted since it released, thanks to the $10 off $25 coupon and some good New Year's Eve stacking luck.

    Also, in spite of how (surprisingly) good Premier has been to me, I am still keeping to my original plan and dropping out after my sub ends later this month. January starts the slow season at my job, so need to pare expenses. I do intend to come back at some point but not until March Madness at earliest.

     

  • TorquinoxTorquinox Posts: 3,529

    Yeah, this was the best Daz holiday season I've ever had. It's mad!

  • gfdamron1gfdamron1 Posts: 404

    This has been a good DAZ holiday season for me as well. I spent a bit more than twice as much as I did during the PA sale. I used the Premier character coupon on the Sylvia bundle. In today's final extended sale I got one of the latest Aeon Soul sets for 67% off (without tokens) which doesn't sound like much, but those sets rarely get much of a discount, especially the latest ones.

    Oh no. I'm really tired of the same sale day after day, on and on.

    You crack me up! do enjoy the catch up sale. looks like my punches are going to expire tonight. Maybe an 11th hour LD will change my mind, though I doubt it. Even if, I'm done! I've already got a mother lode!

    Well this sale went out with a bang for me! (Assuming it's actually over...) I thought I was done but with 8 tokens, 3 punches, wishlist and certain PAs on extra sale,wow! Everything except the debut item was 84-95% off. I rarely do creatures but I'm going to have to start now! I just couldn't resist these dollar and change prices for Rawart's store! Most weren't even on my wish list but still came out this low. I wonder how they'll look in FilaToon?

    ...same here with that 10% off the wishlist, 3 punches, and a fist full of tokens. 

    ETA:

    Well looks as if the Holiday Sale is officially over.  There was another "Extended Sale" page listed on the banner but when i clicked on it I dicvered it was an old one from Dec 21st, (based on the Debut New Releases all which had a release date of  "2024-12-21" on the Daz Deals price history). .

    After refreshing the browser the sale notice no longer showed up the main store banner.

    So no more punches, no daily 2.99$ items, and no free goodies, Just back to "ho-hum" sales for a while

    Lower cart limit today ($100) to engage the 20% off discount. Would probably stack well with that 50% off 5 wishlist items with one of the new releases, providing one is interested in any of those.

    If you're speaking about the Holiday sale page, it was the page from the 21st of December and it has now been removed.

    Yeah, I was. Thanks for the update.

    Lots of holiday zombie issues the last few days, apparently.
