I've made preorder in October. However I never got any confirmation about this offer. Has anybody who preordered managed to claim the offer?

No and I was wondering about this yesterday.
I have contacted HTC over support chat and twitter. The chat support said that they will escalate the case. Let's see what happens. My initial guess is that they missed sending it out to people who ordered the phone before Nov 2nd(the day that offer page was put up). However on twitter htcusa tweeted out saying that those who pre-ordered in October will receive it too.

Did you notice that if you clicked on it, the title page on that first link actually says "$100 Google Play credit for the HTC One A9 | HTC United States". Probably a title from an old page that they forgot to edit, but I'd rather have $100 credit than 6-months Play Music
I just received my code for 6 months Play Music.

I can't activate both, so it is kind of pointless : "must not be active subscriber". It is not like I can wait 6 months and then activate second one - it needs to be activated within 2 months.
The side benefit of this is you get 6 months free of Youtube Red too.

Hey guys. How did you activate the play music subscription. On my primary account I have already consumed 1 month free trial and my other account was never used for subscription, but for a new subscription play music is asking for $9.99 per month. I contacted HTC, they asked me to contact google :"
In regards your concern, the account can be marked as not eligible if it participated in the 30 Day Trial in the past 12 months as it was mentioned.
The next step could be to reach Google Play support to request a code for another account if you still want to. Then you'll need to go to:
https://support.google.com/ ".
Confused on how to activate or contact google from here. In the link they sent google music is not listed too

What I did to activate was simply login to Google Play Store on a computer, and then redeem the code. Make sure you're logged in to the correct account you want (and logged out of any other accounts you may have).
I'm not sure why it wouldn't work on your second account, maybe you took other type of free offers in the past 12 months? If the account took part in any kind of trial or free offering in the past 12 months, then it wouldn't be eligible. My primary account took a 3-month free last year around this time of year, and isn't eligible. I checked my other account and it turns out it had its own somewhat out of nowhere free 6-month offer from Google, so I took that. I ended up giving the code to my wife and she redeemed it without any problem.

HTC should have sent you the 6 month trial code to the email address you provided while ordering the phone. If not contact the customer service and tell them explicitly that you haven't received any code yet, they will then verify and send the email again to you.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed (if it has and it's been buried, it's probably about time we discuss this again).
I'm looking around the AT&T bloatware (which I'm hoping to remove soon) and touched the Where (W) app. The Terms of Service (TOS) pops up. Some of us will just touch OK right away. Some of us will read. On my first Cap, I just touched OK and quickly saw what Where was about. Didn't like it. Never used it again. I returned my device due to GPS and Power issues and got my replacement Cap. I launched Where again while playing around and this time I read the TOS. In red, it says that if I continue to use this service and if I don't cancel within 7 days, I will be charged $2.99 per month. It also gives me a website to review all of my mobile app subscriptions. I checked out the site and found 3 subscriptions of $2.99, $2.99 and $4.99 per month that I have been paying. I don't remember at all how they got there. They were services I have never even heard of which I don't use.
Review your bill! On AT&T online billing, click "View Full Bill". Scroll to the bottom of the page under "Mobile Purchases & Downloads". See if you've been subscribed to something you didn't even know about.
Addendum: Call or Chat with an agent and have them install their Free "Subscription Block" to your account. It prevents any fee-based monthly services from automatically activating without your knowledge. You will be given a code when AT&T puts this block in effect. When you decide to download an App that requires a purchase or sign up with a fee-based service, you can then use that code to make the purchase.
My bill day is 8/21 and here it is 5 days later... i still can't view the actual charges online. wish i could
I think it's to be expected by now to be charged a monthly fee if you plan on using any of AT&T's bloatware. Personally, I refuse to even open any of their programs for fear of having random charges on my bill. Just avoid them until you get them uninstalled.
From a business perspective it makes absolute sense why they do this. The general population has no idea of the free alternatives. These same people won't notice or care to check out their monthly bill's when an extra 2.99 is tacked on every month. I bet AT&T makes a killing off this stuff.
I agree, when I sold phones they offered a ton of free stuff, as in free for one month and then you started getting charged a couple bucks.
I was nice enough to tell the people to call and cancel the services if they didn't want them but most reps didn't even mention it.

Couldn't find what you're pointing to here. The Mobile Purchases and Downloads part.
You're probably fine then. I guess if you haven't (knowingly or unknowingly) made an online purchase or download, then maybe it doesn't show up. You're probably ok.
Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I did click on the Where app once though, so I was curious. Hopefully nothing went through. That last part about the confirmation code to prevent auto subs though is a good idea.

When did you launch the Where app? It probably won't show until a few days later. If you have successfully launched it it's guaranteed that you will be charged $2.99 per month if you don't have the purchase block feature and if you haven't canceled within the 7 days grace period. Just look out for it in a few days.
This was a couple weeks ago. I think it was even before I got my monthly bill. Hopefully I'm set and don't have to worry about it.
Also, I tried the last part in your original post about talking to a live rep and having someone put that auto-subscription block on the account.. the rep never even heard of it and directed me to call customer service instead.
Hmm
I stupidly clicked on Where. Now how do I cancel it?
Thanks for the heads up. I found 2 charges on my bill for them called att up and had them cancel it as I couldn't find where on my account I could cancel them. I also added the block to my line as I already had it on my daughters line.
Funny thing is that I work for verizonwireless and know all about this and see it every day but I fell victim to it. They credited me back for the charges which I wasn't expecting at all.
Glad I can help.

Call your agent and ask about the Mobile Purchases and Downloads. They should know about this. Not all agents know, as we have read so far. But mine was able to refund and put a block. I had I'm a happy camper!

I pre ordered pixel 3 a couple of days ago. I live in korea so i asked my friend to send it to me when he got delivered. Anyway, i saw the terms yesterday and the terms were weird. You can have the 6 month trial only when you are completely new to youtube premium. And also only for US residents.
So here's the questions
Is there really no way to get the youtube premium unless making new account? (Im currently using youtube premium)
Will the youtube premium 6 month trial won't work if i start the pixel in korea?
Im going to LA in January so if i wait until january, would it be possible to claim 6 month trial?
Sorry for the bad english though...

It is my understanding that you will need a new account to activate your 6 month trial. As for your activation, you will probably need to activate it from the US since I will also guess that Google has a way to tell where the IP that activated it came from and I think that if it doesn't originate in the US, they may use that as an excuse to not honor it. I'm not sure if the activation has to happen from the same email account where it was purchased through the Google store. Also, in January it will be too late to activate the trial since, from what I've read, it has to be activated before December 31 at 11:59 PM. Hope this helps. Maybe your friend can activate it for you before sending it.
This is bogus if true. I had a free month trial of YouTube music before, so now I don't get the free 6-months? Google is getting so damn nitpicky about all of their offers. They need to relax a bit and reward long-time customers. I'm not creating a new Google account to get 6 months of their crappy music service. Maybe if they had a cleaner merge with Google Play Music I'd be willing to pay for it.

Another worthless promo for which I paid sales tax. I had a premium account before which has expired. I thought I would get 4 months free. Not so. I followed the instructions and there is no ability to get Youtube Premium for free for me. The app wants me to restart paying $12 per month. I'll know better when I get the S7+.
Here's what is says in the FAQ
Who is eligible to participate in the Samsung YouTube Trial Offer?
This offer is available to Samsung owners who haven’t previously had a YouTube Premium, YouTube Music Premium, Google Play Music, or YouTube Red subscription (including trials and other promotions).
