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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65746532&postcount=15
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.
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 see that Samsung is doing another promotion. Samsung will give you a $30 gift card if you make three payments using Samsung Pay between April 15 And May 10. Last time I got Best Buy. Not sure how to use Ebay through Samsung Pay. But I may choose Best Buy again. I may try this again this weekend. What’s particularly exciting about this promotion is that there’s no minimum spend in place, so you could essentially execute three $1 transactions and bag the free $30 gift card in return. I may to deactivate my card and reactivate it again and see what happens. Here is the link...
http://www.sammobile.com/2016/04/14...sing-samsung-pay-between-april-15-and-may-10/
Man, I have used samsung pay in the past. Wonder if I am not eligible.
I swear I did this promotion a few days after the S7's release.

This promotion is "only" for people that have registered with Samsung Pay but have "not" made a purchase yet. So if you have already taken advantage of a promotion before, you are not eligible. Unless you use a different phone with a different account.
Google is giving out promo codes for use with purchasing a pixel 4. Both people get $50 on the Google store if used before Dec 31. I just figured I'd start this to put them in, in case anyone is interested.
