Strange... when you get in your account and click membership management you should get something like this, but where it says Current Membership there should be a "choose plan" button like the one in Daz Plus box
Upon clicking the "personalized offer" orange banner I was just directed to the membership page listing the tiers. I am listed as a Base member but my Daz+ membership supposedly is good thru February 2026. No exchange whatsoever. And the previous link provided by other forum users to show my Daz+ coupons is no longer effective and directs to that same three-tier membership page.
This is just not right
Strange indeed, I have this page, but no links at the bottom like you (and it shows the wrong subscription for me since I'm on DAZ+).
Mods told that cases like yours are going to be fixed. I also had problems this morning, now I have the orange banner.
Oh, that actually makes sense, it seems people with Daz+ before this are having issues. In my case I wasn't Daz+.
Yes, that's what I thought, and tried after unsubscribing, but I think that since my subscription is still running until August 2025, it might still be causing conflicts.
Also, just in case I retried with every add blockers off and still no cigares ( it might sound stupid, but there is some sites not working properly with add blockers, so I figured I'll try it at least just in case).
I guess I'll have to wait until they fix it for DAZ+ subscribers (if that's the problem), but it's kind of sad to launch a new features, that no one was waiting for the day before, still buggy and not ready when they coul dhave taken all the time they wanted to get it right.
Based on the current available informations, two elements of the new premier plan are requiring an active membership:
The free bundles coupon is not followed by any line mentionning an active subscription and none of the current 'Premier' bundles or one of the items included in them are exclusive to this plan so I don't think they are meant to require an active subscribtion.
* elusive because I don't think anyone shared what it is and I didn't find any link giving information on that 'exclusive Premier Only content'.
My decision was easy this afternoon. I cancelled my DAZ+ valid till august next year. I also just cancelled my Paypal payment agreements to be sure.
Thanks DAZ it was a very cheap PA sale and I spent way too much, but for now and going forward I am out and won't be spending another cent on the store, but thanks again for the cheapness of it all, especially comparing asset prices to CGTrader and Turbosquid for stuff.
All the best :D
To me it is difficult to decide, before I see an example of a free character bundle. Although the geometry sculptor looks promising, the "stay DAZ+" offer is way more generous than the premier offer, but still I am interested. Please tell us what kind of bundle we may receive.
Indeed, beyond the topic of it being worth it or not, my biggest complain really is how bad the launch has been. You'd think they would prepare better for something this important. Not only I still have no clue how to get Daz Studio Premier or the tools,also my free bundle coupon isn't working (and I'm sure I'm trying to get one from the correct list, Walter 9 to be precise, with nothing else in my cart)
Someone posted them earlier, the current ones can be seen here: Premier Characters | Daz 3D
@Rakete: Many thanks, I must have overlooked that post!
Considering that many, if not most, of those "Basic" members (like me) don't spend enough here to get any tokens either way, I don't see that as a real problem.
I think the real value in Premier is the extra 10$ discount across the board AND tokens now start at $5 instead of $10 with Daz +. With double the tokens (or spending half as much for the same amount) you can easily make up the extra $9.99 a month. This tier is good for anyone who consistently spends and has an interest in additional features. Plus, it's great to have in program tutorials, too.
I think rather than a 1 minute video, they need to show a longer more detailed video. I would like to see what all these new software features are and if they ACTUALLY work. The simulation software that promises less strain looks interesting - but I would like to see it actually work - as well as a more detailed video on the geometry modelling plug ins. Hopefully it's better than some of the other software we've been promised but that have turned out to be disappointing.
What is the Stay Daz + offer?
My Daz+ expires March 30 next year; I have an offer of 1 month of Premium; if that means my Daz+ becomes premium to March 30 and I get one additional month, to April 30 it might be worth trying.
But until I see a box I can check to cancel my membership I'm not doing anything.
I'm paid up on DAZ+ until August 2026. I wasn't offered ANY months in exchange for DAZ Premiere. I spend a lot of money each month here. I don't feel very appreciated right now.
1) Will there be an annual plan, and if so will there be a discount for paying for an entire year at once (e.g. $200 for the year instead of $227.88)? I do not want to pay on a monthly basis.
2) What is meant by "$10 off when you spend $25 or more on select content monthly" ? What counts as "select content"? Is it just content that is older than 2 months (aka not new any longer), and not Fast Grab or DAZ+ items? Can it include PA content or not?
2a) When does that $10 coupon show up? Immediately after a qualifying purchase or does it show up at the beginning of the next month?
3) "Unlock a FREE character bundle every month!" Are these new character bundles or do you get an old one for free. If it's a new character bundle, will people in lower tiers be able to purchase that new bundle? Is it the equivalent of a full bundle or just a starter bundle? If it's a starter bundle, is there also a full bundle that you can get a deep discount on?
4) "Export entire environment scenes directly from Daz Studio into Blender, preserving all your selected Daz props and assets for further refinement" Does this include things like dforce clothing, instancing, and strand based hair?
5) "Manage your content effortlessly with the Daz Install Manager (DIM)" Can I still use the Product Library downloads for these assets? I hate DIM. It is clunky and doesn't allow me to grab thumbnails for products so I can see exactly what I have.
6) "Experiment with AI-driven creativity with AI Studio Free" Will the AI Studio be able to use all my assets or just a tiny portion that's been loaded in? I don't bother with AI Studio because it's so limited.
7) "Unlock access to exclusive Premier Only content - Content is active as long as Subscription is active" Will there be a way to purchase that exclusive content? I don't want to get content that will magically disappear on me.
I'll probably have more questions later but getting answers to these would be a good start. BTW - I don't understand the reasoning behind "Exclusive Premiere Only content". They tried that with a few DAZ+ items and quickly stopped due to the backlash.
My character zoo is full. I'm not interessted in more characters. I'm in need for props, environments and tools.
What I also need:
-Adjusting UV maps in DS
-Editing meshes in DS
-Editing HD morphs in DS
-Converting dForce SBH hairs from one figure to another without loosing dForce.
-AI? post render denoiser
-AI post render photo-realism filter
If this will be part of the premier subscription, I won't be able to resist.
If premier is about getting content for cheap, that I've once already purchased 20 years ago, no thanks.
Like some other people in this thread, I was a Daz+ member who upgraded to Premium and I cannot access my premium benefits. I am unable to use the free character coupon (or any coupon code) and I am not getting the additional Gift Card discount. Has Daz support addressed this issue?
I would like that too. I like this MUCH better than Daz AI.
If DAZ want me to spend over $200 per year they need to include:-
An up to date manual for the software, that gets updated with each new release ( with an additional section on the beta releases )
The HD plugin
Access to previous releases of Studio for times when an upgrade breaks features.
I won't hold my breath waiting....
edited: Forgot to add .. a monthly discount for the plugins I already own which Premier duplicates
@miladyderyni_173d399f47: If your daz+ subscription lasts, say, still a year, you get 12 months worth $9,99 (120$ minus what you paid). Now it depends on how many months you would receive for premier, with 2 months the first offer (stay daz+) may sound better, if you got your daz+ subscrption at a good discount.
that is a very important question.
I don't want to get my DS and my content get unusable, when a subscription is ending.
I still want to be able to use DAZ Studio without signing in.
Honestly, I hated this Premier upgrade. I don't live in the US, so have to pay this sub with the conversion rate + taxes every month is impossible for me. Unless they add it again an annual plan, I will not renew my Daz+ on Christmas.
Very disappointed. This will just become an excuse to increase the price when a the Daz 5 or new Genesis release eventually.. Smell like an unbelievable greed to me.
From a budget user's subjective perspective it's not that great of an offer.
The very first thing is the loss in value for +Membership. Removal of quarterly and annual plans made the membership more expensive while offering the exact same value as yesterday.
As for the premiere... it's just too pricey.
I look at what I'm going to get for my buck right now, I don't look at discounts, the 2nd coupon is also just a discount. So what do I get right now? 10$ of DO, and a starter bundle, for 19$. Not the worst but not great either.
Personally I don't treat listing prices as real - unless of course others believe textures for Gen 1 and 2 are really 15$, more power to you.
What I'm willing to pay is what I treat as the real price. 5-6$ for starter bundle is my limit for starter bundles. Whatever rented stuff comes on top with the Premiere - that just doesn't exist in my mind. So with Premiere I'm getting 16$ for 19$.
If it was a bundle of my choice, it would be a little better. My limit for pro bundles is higher, so I could justify that membership, every now and than.
The ability to pay just for a month is nice, but currently too pricey.
Much as I'd like the manual, that doesn't exist and would cost a fortune to produce. I can't see that.
On the other hand, the HD tool most definitely does exist and is withheld for unknown reasons. In paid software, that isn't a good story. They are charging the sort of money that will get you Photoshop.
