Are free HW items in Poser available for DS Users

Oh I was a PC member for many years, and then they made it the PC+ membership, but once I got back to using Poser regularly, and a lot of the PAs at DAZ stopped including Poser versions of their products, I slowing stopped buying. I never got past the original Genesis 1, so that's the last DAZ character I purchased for regularly. At that point it didn't pay for me to keep renewing.

With the free items every week, plus en extra one every month, plus the special discounts and the PC+ coupon...it more than pays for itself! I've done the math. It's just a matter of getting the initial funds. But it pays you back, plus some. Especially when you get it during the anniversary sale or the Christmas sale. I often get the annual one at 50% off.

Yes, but in order to be in the PC, you have to pay.
Though it is probably worth it if you buy a lot of stuff.
You have to pay for Rendos Prime as well, and that has for me at least a lot less value than the PC, the coupons can be used on very little, Prime prices are usually only about 50% off at the most, PC items are usually 70-80% off. You get 2 coupons with PC only 1 with Prime. PC forums are relatively busy and questions get answered by the admin or mods quickly, whereas Prime forums appear pretty dead and questions take days to be answered and then not by admin.
I forgot about the free items each week and 1 a month, not just 1 a month.
I was going to post my thoughts on the value of a subscription based discount service ... but my thoughts regarding the value of the PC to me is guaranteed to upset some people.
Note: I also don't pay for a Sam's Club or Costco membership, although I do pay for the Amazon Prime ... but Amazon Prime is really more a shipping speed/delivery fee rather than product price discount service. Although, one has access to sooo many more things than just shipping speed with Amazon Prime ... from video, music, books, and stuff I probably don't even know about.
Believe me though, if I wasn't saving beaucoup bucks/oodles of money through subscribing to Amazon Prime, I'd drop it faster than you can say Jack Robinson.
Now, before you ask ... back in the 1700s, people used to pay social calls to their friends and acquaintances (calling cards and all). When they arrived, a servant would announce the visitor's arrival. Grose's Classical Dictionary (1785) explains that Jack Robinson was a man who may or may not have existed and who no sooner had been announced as a visitor than he had left. So, to do something faster than you can say Jack Robinson or doing something before you can say Jack Robinson implies it's going to be done quickly.
One could think of Jack Robinson as an early version of the Roadrunner.

It was back when I was doing 90% of my 3D shopping at their store. I stopped when it was no longer viable.Yes, but in order to be in the PC, you have to pay.Though it is probably worth it if you buy a lot of stuff.
I've never gone for that either, but that's probably because I don't do the videos, music, books, etc. I have over 600 eBooks to read which I got through a subscription to Bookbub, which eventually takes you to Amazon to get the eBooks, but even though Amazon Prime is reasonably priced, I couldn't justify it if I wasn't going to be using all it's benefits. ~shrugs~
No longer viable for you,. some of us still find it good value, as Dana points out it pretty much pays for itself.
