I jumped onto samsung.com today and registered my new S4. When I got done I got an e-mail for a coupon code for 50% off any accessory $50 or less. Figured I might as well get a spare battery/charger combo for $25 after savings. I searched the forums and didn't find anything about this already being posted.

Will be registering my device as soon as I get it and probably ordering the same item you did...Was it free shipping?
It showed orders over $50 was free shipping. Under $50 is was like $3-4 USPS shipping. I was going to order the extra battery with charging case but sold out, on a notification list now.
Didn't offer me a discount
I received the 50% off discount in an email and the code is a one time use for products 49.99 and less. Can be used for up to 5 products on one order. I used it on a case and a micro usb to usb cable.
Anyone got a code I could use since it's good for up to 5 uses? Thanks in advance.

It might not be worth the bother. 50% seems like a good deal on the surface, but I've been pricing the items available at the Samsung website for the S4 and it seems that most if not all of the items can be bought through Amazon at the same or better price than 50% off at Samsung. Plus, I am a Amazon Prime member, so for me I can get free 2-day shipping on a lot of it for free. Take into account that some of the popular items at Samsung are back ordered and Amazon seems to be a better deal overall (for the items I looked at).
I called and got everything 50 off. 2 Smart docks and 2 Allshare hubs. Both priced over $50. I don't think Tele sales has realized the coupon is different this time around.

Good find. Just curious. It states "These are in-stock, and will ship within 3-5 days". Why will ship in 3-5 days if they are in-stock? Almost seems like they are expecting stock in 3-5 days but are listing it earlier.

I saw the same thing and thought that was odd. Seems like they could be gambling on getting some in. One seller listed over 90 available which (unless he's a distributor) I found hard to believe.
and just like that, they're gone thanks for coming out, everyone!
Was able to get in on a Newegg one. Card has been charged. Hope it ships soon so I can cancel my other 2 orders elsewhere.
Darnit. Missed the dock... I set up a notify and already have one on Amazon.
Do like the NewEgg price, tho!
It shipped!! I didn't think I was ever going to get one.
Hi All
I didn't see any Walmart pre-order threads and I personally couldn't resist the $168 price and pre-ordered for three lines. I was told on the phone after I ordered that they expect it to be around May 1st before it ships. Anyone have additional info?
Am I really the only one?
I pre-ordered from walmart and only am guessing about when it might show up.

I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient!
Have to tell myself this every few hours. Especially as I'm reading the posts on here. I'm left wondering if people are being too hard on the phone or it's really that much of a disappointment. I know a lot has to do with preference but two things that bother me about Samsung's direction is general this time around is the locked bootloader and the bloatware added by them (not AT&T - that's expected).
C'mon Walmart, put one in my hand so I can find out for myself.
Edit:
Tried doing a chat with a rep. Seems like they still have 4/27 as the launch date. He couldn't assure anything though:
Please wait while we find an agent to assist you....

Mahender : Once it becomes available in our stock, we will process the order further.
Hamzer 11: Are you able to verify that the inventory will be available for the 27th, tomorrow?
Mahender : I totally understand you.
Mahender : However, I would not be able to provide any assurance on it.
Mahender : You can contact us back tomorrow and check the order status.

When you register a credit card with Samsung Pay by 3/10/16 then they'll give you a coupon for a free wireless charging pad. The deadline is the 10th...
I ordered my free charging pad from Samsung, and it'seems on its way.
Credit for finding this goes to @gilbnx over in the T-mobile S7 Edge thread
Sweet! Another freebie! Free GearVR, Free Games, Free Netflix, Free Screen protector(not from Samsung, but free all the same), and now Free wireless pad? This device gets better and better!
Ordered mine Thursday. Can't beat free!
Thanks for the info man! Doing this now.
EDIT - Coupon code will not work on the fast wireless charger. Would have paid the $20 difference.. oh well.
Charger is on the way!
So we just open the Samsung pay app and setup a credit card and it should give u the coupon after?

I dunno that everyone would agree there. Sure, it may not be a fast charger, but to say it's a waste to "only" get a $20 wireless charger may be a bit rash. Way I look at it is anything someone wants to give me for free based on me trying something that has no inherent cost to me is great.

Hey for free this is a deal. Though looking at it if I hadnt already done it I would wait.. Looks like they do all kinds of promo's and I have like 3 wireless charging pads already. Wouldnt of minded the BT headset they did last time.

Does your receipt say it was preordered? The purchase by date was the 20th so I doubt it. Try uploading your receipt and see what happens. The worst that can happen is they say no.
Funny thing is, my promo box will be here tomorrow. Per the Note 7, it took 2 months to get the free gift. Thus time around, took 4 days, that's wild.
I'd say try it, I'd be willing to bet it'll work. Like the previous post mentioned, doesn't hurt to try. Just use the Reciept or the first page from your Lease Agreement, ehich is what I use for these things. I'd be willing to bet it'll work.

Yep, pretty awsome. I registered on the 19th, which is the same day I got the device. It was shipped via FedEx

Nah, unfortunately I didn't choose the extra $99 bundle, I wish I had tho.
My pre-order was thru Sprint and I'm not sure if we had the choice of the $99 bundle.
But you would think if you did pay the extra $99 for that separate bundle, they would ship to you earlier, than someone like myself that didn't pay for the other bundle.

Yeah I registered for the $99 bundle on the 19th and I am with Sprint. Was able to pay for it on the 20th. No label still. It's just weird their website says "order sent" cause to me that means it should be shipping. Samsung is annoying.
Weird fedex hasn't shown any movement, but then again it is fedex.
So I took you guys advices and did it. And to say that, it freaking work!!! I've been denied the first because of the wrong IMEI and WiFi Mac. So I gave it another try and got approved just this moment. So I'm currently waiting on the tracking number and when it'll ship by. All to thank to you guys!!
What's the chance for us early adopter to get a refund? Or are we Sol?
The facebook post says early adopters get a 200 dlls coupon. That could bring the cost of the phone to 300!
They better release the dock before then. =/

While it's nice for them to offer this to us early adopters, it really doesn't benfit us unless they release the dock or other accessories by Dec 15th.
Well, my wife is really enjoying her phone... May pick up a white one for 299 with the code...I think that it's a great value at that price...
Oh, great idea, the white one is a nice idea... lol
Still waiting on them to release the gray and green version. Already have the phone so I am waiting for the dock and or smart home hub. It's nice that they at least gave us early adopters a bone. But without new accessories it really is a waste for us. They have dropped the ball before, so hoping they don't do it again. :/ They have allot of potential I just hope they get there. Also hopefully the lower price leads to more developers jumping in on the device and helping to get the developer section in this community going.
Oh, to have one of those codes. Id then go out on a limb and buy one of these great looking phones.
So tempted, but just not enough at $500.
bought off ebay
I literally bought and paid for a phone off ebay saturday night. the seller shipped it and said he would not work on price.
I want to be able to get a coupon but i'm afraid that "someone" will have already claimed it or essential will not honor it.... If anyone is in same situation, please let me know if you were able to get the coupon.
Thanks!

I did not. the seller had the phone until this morning. i asked for the IMEI and he said i would get it when it comes in the mail. so basically can't make the request until i get the imei. i have sneaky suspicion that he may have claimed.... he knew all about the promotion when i sent him a message.
I am just going to get another phone.
I don't think I'm going to bother with the charging pad if they release it in time seeing I keep the phone in a case anyway.
Sent out the info for my credit to Essential, and called Best Buy this morning and got them to price match the new price since I was within my return window (the credit has already shown up on my card).
So I got $200 back from Best Buy and will get $200 credit from Essential. Sweet.
