I go in and out of Daz’ frequent buyer club, the Platinum Club Plus, depending on my funds and whether I’m in a period of amassing lots of digital content. I had a 3-month subscription [started October 23rd, 2007!!] in my early days as a digital artist, just so I could build up my library. I let it lapse, then got another 3-month subscription [started April 30th, 2014] in time for my birthday as a gift to myself, dropped it for August, then resuscitated it on September 1st to take advantage of this month’s PA [Published Artist] sale and next month’s PC [Platinum Club] sale. I’m also going to extend it through the end of December to get in on end-of-the-year sales.
Aaaaaanyway, I find the discount club very effective, as it offers a flat $1.99 price for a huge back catalog, 2 monthly discount coupons, 5 monthly freebies and discounts that often stack on top of regular promotions. I spent $24.00 for Platinum Plus on September 1st, and it’s already paid for itself, in that I’ve saved well over $24.00 on things I was going to buy anyway.
| Item | Non PC+ Price | PC+ Price | Savings | |
| Parisa for G2F | $11.17 | $7.98 | $3.19 | |
| Leather Factory Shaders | $10.95 | $1.99 | $8.96 | |
| By the Seaside Beach Huts | $14.95 | $0 | $14.95 | |
| Sickle Dress Rig G2F | $14.95 | $10.95 | $4.00 | |

| Succubus Add-Ons | $39.95 | $21.97 | $17.98 |
I picked up Parisa for her "evil puppet" makeup. I got the leather shaders because I was long dissatisfied with the freebie ones I’d been using. The Beach Huts, a PC freebie, I wasn’t going to buy, but they cost me nothing, and I like free buildings, so I acquired them. The Dress Rig will help me make floor-length dresses fit better on my people. The Spicy Jumpsuit, which I’ve been coveting since its debut in March, is, of course, for Jareth. The Succubus Add-Ons contain a set of horns and a devil tail, but, most pertinently for me, some bat wings and a snake section so that I can represent as many therianthropes from the mini universe as possible. Someday I should render all the therianthropic characters that I have so far…
