30% off Gift Cards was very, very rare - 20% or thereabouts was quite common, sometimes the offer was a maximum of 15% or 18%. If Premier often gets 30% then that would definitely be a new, enhanced feature for the new tier.
Not that rare this year and going forward, I don't see Daz+ being included in that 'cause Daz+ was already excluded. Daz+ is second class now and it's obvious that's how Daz is treating it.
I haven't been here for long. Became a Daz+ customer probably less than a year ago. But what you're saying is also what I've perceived in my rather short time here. I mean, previously, as a Daz+ member, I've been really fortunate with gift card sales, which I've taken advantage of. Few times these got 30% off, even better a couple of times.
It is a pity, but I also feel that now Daz+ has lost much of its former value. It doesn't matter in my case, though. My sub still runs for more than a year from now. I can't waste what I've got now by shifting to Premier at this moment. What I'll do once my Daz+ subscription is about to end remains to be seen.
Maybe I'm missing something here but I got a banner for $20 off from a select category. Death 9 HD is in the selection listed at $15 currently. I put D9 in the cart, apply the coupon and the total is showing up as 6.86...
Where's the Daz+ shop page at these days? Not the membership page, the one that shows the weekly Daz+ item and weekly selection of discounted item, as well as the Daz+ freebies?
I AM still Daz+, until sometime in 2026 at least, the sale page should still show up regardless...
It was hidden in dropdowns before Premier showed up, now the said dropdowns have apparently disappeared.
Having the same issues. Purchased a debut new release, so its $40 off.
Tried getting XI Hell Portal and Death 9 HD Pro Bundle and the bundle is coming out $15, should be $7.
EDIT: And I don't have any tokens attached to the sale.
I'm not sure I would use 'only' as a qualifier to 'spending $100 on virtual 3D goodies monthly' but I digress.
It's more like a tenth of that $100 budget, at least if that person is buying Daz Originals (DOs are always cheaper than non Daz Originals so someone with a lower budget is likely to buy DOs each month) and for that $9 from the subscription they can't spend on what they absolutely want, they can get a bundle (it's still one of the big unknown: does the bundles selection change each month or will a bundle stay part of that selection once entered meaning that someone could get Vicky 9 bundle next year ?).
Sure, it's not a big bad Mega Bundle, but a more limited Character Bundle, but it's still 5-6 items and a core character for $9, without any buy-in (so no cart jenga to get the discount from yesterday with the discount from three days ago, while singing the hedgehog song to be sure you didn't miss any discount that smarter cart jenga players didn't miss ).
The second coupon, in a way, is and was always a trap: with Daz+ previous price, the membership paid itself if you only used the $6 off DOs coupon but Daz got to keep the membership price in their pockets if you used the second one (it's costed you $12 to get two $6 coupons), so someone should only use it if they were already planning a compatible cart (or if a juicy LD appeared out of nowhere ).
It's also easier to get tokens (1 per $5) and they last long enough that you could accumulate them on the back of small carts here and there before spending it two weeks after you got your first which is also making them less a gamble than before. Or ignoring them altogether because you only spent $2.5/$5 to get each of them, not $5/$10.
I still don't know if I'll keep my membership active (the price to get one month of Premier was low enough to tempt me but I doubt Daz has a system in place to tempt me like that each month) but I can see myself being happy with the possibility to get a bundle when it's new (which rarely happen outside of bundles that I can get at a low price without too much buy-in) and with $10 to chose DOs for ~$20 a month. Sure, with the temptation to spend much more because 'wahou, a Uber Mega Ultra Bundle for 96% off in my LDs, time to use my other coupon'

how do they even come up with these names?
I maybe could autofit it to Candida if I buy it or just drape it so she can go free and breezy whatever side of the pond she wades
Coupon issue seems to be fixed.
Unfortunately that character bundle is only a deal if you like the character bundles. If past is prologue, it'd be $9 for 5-6 items I have zero use for. Once in a great while there's something in a bundle that I'll toss on my wishlist and wait for a sale, but it's never more than an item or two, and the sale I'd wait for, they'd be below $9.
I'll admit that some of my wrinkle-nose on that one comes from the fact that when I signed up for D+ originally, I was all excited by the offered freebies (for the Daz-definition of "freebie" that means "you have to pay to get it, so really it's not free just discounted"), especially since the one that month was Tanglewood Dell... which apparently grinds my CPU to a standstill, so I can't use it. Occasionally there's one that drops that turns out well for me, but... well, Exhibit A: this week's offering. Oh, look. It's ANOTHER POOL. I suppose I could empty the water out and use it as a planter for all the flowers? Or scale down all the little sci-fi vehicles/drones and float them in it like tub toys?
In my imagination, every single one of those pools have a sinister urban legend attached to them. I'm tempted to create a series of images showing the alleged events that took place there, sometime in the past.
Unfiltered opinion: I'm not crazy about all this toon stuff that's all the rage. This is a 3D program.
LOL I love it. I hope if you ever get around to it, you share.
He he, thanks! I definitely will, because I'm all about the attention!
Haha! 3 birds with one stone! At least the pool is compact - 8mb download. Anyway, at least it's not another corridor.
Also, the hafway to Halloween coupon is awesome! Thanks Daz! Put https://www.daz3d.com/xi-hell-portal in the cart and go wild! I scored https://www.daz3d.com/dain-9-hd-pro-bundle as part of the prize and spent a little over $4.21 for $287.82 of DO stuff. That should be impossible, and yet... Daz math. They do stuff like this and... IDK. Just Thanks Daz!
I kind of agree, mostly because so many of the samples look so oversaturated and not ot my taste. Yet it solves a long-running DS problem of how to get a cel-shaded look quickly and easily. The last really good cel-shader was PWToon and that's kind of a hassle to use (material setup, etc) and (IIRC) not even available any more. So, as one more tool in the toolbox and maybe as a step forward for much-neglected Filament renderer, it's a good thing.
Knowing there's a PW Productions item as Door Buster: "Yay!!!"
Discovering you already own the item: "Boo-hoo..."
Mid-month coupon code. I was happy when I saw the original Mostly Erroneous selection. Several items I had Wishlisted plus others that I'd consider for $0-3 buy-in, plus some showing lower prices in cart.
Then, the coupon didn't work - because the selection was wrong. Nothing I wishlisted was in Corrected! Selection! And what was left was slim pickings. I think Daz left a lot of horror/dark fantasy DOs out. Torment 8.1 & his theme bundles aren't included, although his base is in 1 of the Creatures of the Night bundles. I have a cart with Anneka 3 base and Spooky Hollow & Damien 3 Pro bundles but undecided between that & Cart 2, which is the smaller G9 Monster Mash -- or option 3, "forget this deal!"
Speaking of "$3 buy in," which is the XI Hell Portal. I'd never use it (confession, I'm a borderline pyro-phobe) but wouldn't be the first time I grabbed a cheap buy-in I don't care for.

@SilverGirl I too am tired of pool models, and since it's +/Premier, it doesn't count for Freebie challenge. Might I suggest https://www.daz3d.com/pliable-plastic-iray-shaders for your SF pool toys? It includes hard plastic shaders.
Hmmm, I have the ancient https://www.daz3d.com/sea-dragon. Is anyone interested in a render of a Nessie pool ride-on? Or should I do something serious like the summoning of a water demon? (If that doesn't step on @WinterMonn's toes) Question: does the pentagram go on the pool bottom or the deck?
I'm pretty divided on the new toon style. It looks great, but I don't like how even when you add the Filatoon shader to non-toon assets, many of them just don't mesh well with the style. It's understandable that those products weren't made with this in mind, but now you essentially need to obtain a whole new separate set of toon assets, and some have the additional add-on Iray versions-at an extra cost, of course. Hopefully as time goes on the shaders get better, but for now I'm keeping my toon library limited for now and focusing more on the 3D style for my spending.
Both?
Having had the item bookmarked for nigh a year because it was too expensive to buy until there was a genuine justification for it: OH YEAH BABY SCORE
Near 500mb download! Hell takes a lot of hard drive space, but still a few hundred mb less than https://www.daz3d.com/decorative-pillows and a bit less than these https://www.daz3d.com/pillows . No idea why pillows require so much disc space. Probably png textures or some such thing.
No, I am not mistaken. I've been putting them in my cart for a year now; I think it can be assumed that I'm aware that there isn't a trigger item required. My point is that membership itself is a required (paid) trigger. You said it yourself above, membership is a buy-in.
The "free" items might not cost more beyond that, but they are part of the lure/compensation for that monetary outlay. I accept that going in, I just had the idea that they would be things I'd find useful, or at least varied enough that useful would come up in the rotation more often, based on the fantasy offering that month. Not the case. Lesson learned. Now I ignore the offer of "free" things when I'm factoring the value of a Daz subscription and make my decisions based on other criteria. For me, my level/pattern of spending, and item interests, a recurring subscription is only worth it when I can get a good discount on a yearly, especially now that I have nearly all of my foundational stuff. Otherwise, makes more sense to just do the occasional month if the things I want go on a good sale. It's cool if other people consider it a good deal for them. But I've done the math, and it's not for me.
The free $20 (or $40 with a debut new release) coupon for it being mid-way point to Halloween is awesome.
@Torquinox thanks for the Hell Portal info. If I go for the $40 free, it'll just stay undownloaded then.
@Columbine I can't resist it. So many smaller environments and I've been wanting an island of my own.
