If you pre-ordered from T-mobile, have you gotten your gear vr yet? did you get an ETA on your delivery/shipping from samsung? how long if so?
Thanks
I preordered my phone from t mobile and got it this Monday. But to redeem the GR you need to go here and type your email. But since the phone isn't officially out yet I think that you have to wait until the 4th
As far as i know you can register your device to get the preorder reward a free gear VR. On the t-mobile homepage they give the info that you can register from o8.o3.2o16 until 28.o3.2016.
Gonna try to register mine once i've stopped to smile , arrived about 5 hours ago :laugh:
I pre-ordered mine and got it on the 3rd. i immediately went to samsungs promo page and registered there. got an email saying that it'll take 4-6 weeks for review.

Yeah that. Pre-ordered mine on 2/26 and got it 3/3 as well.
Pre-Ordered on 02/23 & got mine on 03/01.. Registration was not open until the 3rd for the Gear VR so I did my redemption on the 3rd & am waiting for my 4-6 weeks to pass.
I've been trying to pre order (and buy the phone out right, full price). Since making this thread. 3 days now
I've had nothing but problems, they will not/can't ****ing sell me/upgrade me the phone at full price? WTF. 2 different stores, i give my info they select the free 2 day shipping, blah blah blah, do you agree to this price, blah blah.. SUBMIT.
it charges me 24.99 for shipping and i'm like you selected free shipping. They call customer care and get transferred literally like 6 times at each store, both reps give up and told me to call. I said forget it, i'll pay the 24.99 idc just submit my order. The order gets submitted, then error shipping delay *continue with order?* yes.... error card declined, 4 different cards later, all declined..bruh my accounts stay full and my cards have a limit higher than the cost of this phone...
the lady behind me pre ordered on their monthly phone payment plan and her card went right through no problem. I even called my bank and had them verify my account could handle a huge charge, even told them where i was, what i was doing..still got declined. The bank rep said they would be able to see any declined transactions in the system no matter what, and nothing has shown up as declined on their end, so it must be a connection issue with t-mobile....so i just left
I call customer care myself, get transferred 4 times, they take my info over the phone.. ^ all that happens again.
why is it so gah damn difficult for me to say HEY TAKE MY MONEY!!!!! and them say HERE'S A NEW PHONE. WTMF?!
any of you work for T-mobile? get at me cuz this is major major bs.

Here's an idea...not ideal, but may work. The free shipping may only be with device payments. That being said, there's nothing that says you can't pay off the EIP the first couple days after you get the phone and the EIP shows on your account. I know that doesn't necessarily fix any issues with the CC and their billing, but perhaps in the week or two between now and when the EIP shows, their system will allow the CC to go through?
I don't work at T-Mob, so I can't speak for what is going on. Just figured I'd chuck in my $0.02
I pre-ordered mine 2/23 and got it 2/29.
UPDATE:
I called today and gave it another shot, good ole Kyle at T-mobile helped me out more than anyone else thus far. I'm on that $30 prepaid plan everyone wants on T-mobile. Ultimately Kyle told me to just start a new line of service, pay $50 for a no credit check line, order the phone and cancel service. So that's what we did, I basically just paid $50 more than the total cost of the phones full price, got a brand new line and completed my order and got free overnight shipping (although it's Sunday I'm sure it will still take 2-3 days which I'm cool with). I will probably keep that line active for a month/30 days just to make sure I get my promotional gifts. Then I'll cancel service on that line. As a protection against any future BS, I recorded that phone call and made sure specific questions were answered like no $200 ETF, or any ETF at all, My # won't change and so forth. This guy was much more helpful than previous reps. So, Kyle if you ever read this...thanks man!
TLDR:
If you're prepaid you'll need to go post-paid if you want to pre-order the galaxy S7.
I'll update this again if anything else happens and or when I get my gear vr and free netflix.
Got my phone today!
However, I didn't get a receipt in the package. The only receipt I got was in my email when I purchased the phone. How the hell do I submit that to complete the promotion registration? Screen shot the section that has my name and how much I paid and attach it? Is that what you guys did?
also, will samsung be the ones delivering the netflix code?

The question is if people who bought the phone in full can just return the phone and get this offer. Because it doesn't make sense to leave a free phone on the table.

It requires an added line - probably with some tough requirements

Yea the newly added line requires a 24-mo financial agreement.

That's true a new line is a must. Since my wife doesn't care about her number, we got her a new line and will cancel her old one. I called and confirmed this and the new phone is on the way.

Just got the BOGO offer. Dialed 611, told them I wanted to add a line. From there, once I was connected with Sales, I told them I preordered a S7 Edge (I already have it, but I didn't mention that--even though it's pretty obvious since I'm a new customer and wouldn't be able to dial 611 from my old phone lol) and wanted to preorder another one so that I can do the BOGO offer. CSR didn't know about the offer yet, so he asked supervisor. As long as you order it before your order is completed (so before launch I'm guessing?), you are eligible for the BOGO. Paid about $460, have my order already being processed and almost ready to ship.
Once you get it you have to apply for the rebate I guess and you get the card with all the money for the device on it... Still charged monthly for it.. Only thing I wish is that device is just waived from bill. I guess you can still do that by using the card to directly pay off the EIP though..
TLDR; everyone here that has the phone or preorder it can still take advantage of this offer.
Great deal, came at a time where I was actually going to buy another phone for my boyfriend anyways, so I'm pretty stoked I got it for free lol.
Edit: The promocode doesn't work yet. But you have 30 days to submit the offer anyways.

Did the same thing and they didn't even care if I had the S7 Edge already and I told them that I would cancel my other line and they said as long as you add a line that's all they care about. So there ya go.
Wonder if i can do this and still get the VR headset and netflix.
As long as you regester device before the end date for that. This doesn't affect the pre-order bonus.

Cool. will do
Thinking about getting my brother a phone to replace his LG G3 with this. Anyone see a reason the below scenario won't work?
I was going to pickup an S7 tomorrow in store and add a new line in order to get the BOGO from my S7 Edge. After activating it, take the SIM out and put his in it. Although we'll initially have to pay $10 + EIP for the S7, once the reimbursement card comes in the mail, I'd pay off the EIP and the phone would be owned outright. I'd then cancel the new line and get the $10 off my account. The only hitch I see is that cancelling the line makes the full balance due on the phone, but it would be paid off in full, so that wouldn't affect anything.
Am I missing anything obvious?

Double check but i think someone said you have to keep the line for 24months.

I think you'd have to keep the line, and you're correct about the full balance when cancelling the line. Also keep in mind, that this wipes out the Jump on Demand if you're on it. The guy at the store told me that they're trying to get rid of the JOD anyways. So, technically you'd have to keep the phone for 24 months.
Man I bought mine outright... I am dissapointed right now. Now I have to jump through hoops just to get one free... I hope they can make exceptions for people.

The fine print I read does mention the full balance coming due if cancelled, but that would be $0 if paid off using the card. Unless it's like a cable TV agreement when you receive the $400 card and is essentially a 2 year agreement to keep the device active.

Worst case, return the phone and immediately re-buy it on EIP. Wait a week and pay off the balance.
jump through hoops. such a pain and i gave to do it and wait a few weeks potentially

T-Mobile doesn't technically do 24 month contracts anymore. As long as you pay off your EIP for the phone, you are good to close the line. I would keep the line open for 2-3 months to be safe so the rebate can be fully processed.

These things are generally a collaboration between businesses. In this case, I'd bet between Samsung and their banking partners whom I'd wager are bearing the bulk of the costs for this promotion (with the bank whose card is used in each instance paying back Samsung a large portion of the gift card's cost, and the gift card issuer agreeing to a discounted cost to issue the card). Probably BOA, for whatever reason, declined to participate in the promotion.

Just got an Ebay Gift card. Couple that with my free wireless charger I got yesterday, and I am loving my S7 Edge
Yes I'd have to say Samsung has really pulled out all the stops with this product launch. The sales and related promotions, combined with their greatly improved advertising campaign, have been very impressive. Some carriers are even offering BOGO deals which I've never seen done with new, highly anticipated flagship smartphones before.
It'll be interesting to see what they do for the Note 6.

Went in BestBuy today and they were offering the free wireless charger with purchase.
The terms for the 30$ gift card says no bank of american debit card. Does anyone know about BoA credit cards?
Anyone who got the gift card (I chose Best Buy) have problems adding it to their wallet?
Did the purchase yesterday, requested the $30 certificate and chose Best Buy. I received a notification of the $30 Best Buy gift certificate in my Samsung pay app. However when I try to add the gift certificate to my Samsung wallet I get the following message:
"Gift doesn't belong to the given user"
Appreciate any help with this. Can't figure out why it's saying this to me.

T-Mobile is now offering Buy one Get One FREE on S7 & Edge
I pre ordered my edge. I called them up and I added a line, I am on the 4 lines for 120 10 Gigs each line. The additional line for me is $20 a month. Within 30 days I will get a prepaid Card for $780 cost of my 2nd Edge. I will also get another set of goggles, and another year of Netflix. When I get the card, I can Pay off the phone, request an unlock, and cancel the additional line. and have a FREE S7 Edge. No requirement to keep the additional line. I spoke with the Rep, and acced him Hypothetical questions, and he confirmed what I told him. Do this while you can. I will also be able to get the samsung pay deals on the phone as well as it is a new IMEI....
Good Luck! :good::good::good:

I come on here a lot and don't contribute much, but just had to share this with this community. I got a free Samsung Gear S3 Frontier from AT&T by .... JUST ASKING!
I'm serious guys...it took 3 calls to customer service, and I'm a longtime AT&T customer (since 2004), but when I called customer service and asked about how I could get the Gear S3 at a nice price since it was around the Black Friday period (I made the call on 11/22 around 7 am EST), the customer service lady I spoke to said that I could actually get the watch for free if I committed to a 2 year commitment of $10/month. I asked her to repeat that to make sure I heard her correctly and she said yes, they normally offer things like that when you get a new device, but they have ways around that requirement to get a free gadget and even offered me a free tablet (for the same $10/month access). I got the tablet too initially, and then cancelled it since I didn't need a tablet to be connected the way I use them and already have a better one. The watch actually came on Saturday (11/26) via UPS and I've been loving it...especially since it will only cost me $240 AND I still get the opportunity to use it as a standalone and can cancel that monthly access after 2 years to save myself the money. I don't know if anyone else will be able to get the nice customer service lady I got, but she mentioned that there are lots of free gadgets they offer and if you know how to manipulate things, you can get one yourself.
Good luck everyone and happy holidays.

Sweet, you got a great deal.
I got mine from T-Mobile on release day. I paid full retail for it, but I added it onto a line that was free. They were offering early Black Friday deals on that day. Actually you could get 2 lines free. I did, I put the Gear on one line, and I put a SyncUp ( a gps tracker and wifi hotspot unit that plugs into your cars diagnostic port) unit on the other line, the Sync Up was also provided for free, I just had to pay the sales tax.

I did not do quite as well as you, but the CSR I spoke with on the first try said that if you commit to the 2 year service agreement, they will sell you the watch for $49.95. Still an amazing deal. Signed up and the watch should be here tomorrow. In my case they also waived the activation fee. It never hurts to ask. He did tell me that the Gear S2 is free with the service commitment.
Happy Holidays to all.

I come on here a lot and don't contribute much, but just had to share this with this community. I got a free Samsung Gear S3 Frontier from AT&T by .... JUST ASKING!
I'm serious guys...it took 3 calls to customer service, and I'm a longtime AT&T customer (since 2004), but when I called customer service and asked about how I could get the Gear S3 at a nice price since it was around the Black Friday period (I made the call on 11/22 around 7 am EST), the customer service lady I spoke to said that I could actually get the watch for free if I committed to a 2 year commitment of $10/month. I asked her to repeat that to make sure I heard her correctly and she said yes, they normally offer things like that when you get a new device, but they have ways around that requirement to get a free gadget and even offered me a free tablet (for the same $10/month access). I got the tablet too initially, and then cancelled it since I didn't need a tablet to be connected the way I use them and already have a better one. The watch actually came on Saturday (11/26) via UPS and I've been loving it...especially since it will only cost me $240 AND I still get the opportunity to use it as a standalone and can cancel that monthly access after 2 years to save myself the money. I don't know if anyone else will be able to get the nice customer service lady I got, but she mentioned that there are lots of free gadgets they offer and if you know how to manipulate things, you can get one yourself.
Good luck everyone and happy holidays.

Yup! . I purchased a new Galaxy S7 Edge, got a free VR headseat and the S3 Frontier LTE for $50. No contract with the phone or the watch. The phone I'm paying in installments, but the watch was a flat $50 (no installment) with no contract. I'm thinking about cancelling my LTE service for my watch. Don't find it useful, since I always carry my phone and watch.
Just ordered one. The Samsung S3 Frontier is still FREE at AT&T if you just ASK. They waived the activation fee of $45. There's a 2yr contract and you pay $10 for the line that comes with a 1gb of data.
