Supposely we're getting $500 worth of freebies, but how do you go about getting them? I already have many of these apps like Linkedin and Evernote, so it's really just the premium services that are the freebies. There aren't anyway to access them.

I did just that, and it opens up my current app. Example - Evernote, I click open and I click on upgrade to premium and there's a fee vs. the free 3 months subscription Samsung said it offered. Same goes with LinkedIn.
Are you talking about where do you go for them, or do you mean your clicking them and their not redeeming? I just got my S5 and the gift link was on the 3rd home screen and when you click it, brings them all up to download on the phone. Like you kinda useless since I have stuff that's already on there, I may use it for the Linked in business credit.
Dropbox
I see from the site about getting dropbox, are we getting it from our AT&T phones?
Dropbox was the only thing I saw that was worthwhile.

how did you enable it? my old dropbox promo with HTC One X is about to expire next week, currently 25GB from the htc promo, should I just wait and see if it automatically upgrades me to the samsung promo for 50GBs?

Download it from the Samsung store under the Galaxy gifts section.
It may have been Box instead of Dropbox. It was one of those.
Still doesn't work with instructions. I don't even see LinkedIn.

I downloaded the updated PayPal app from the Samsung app store and registered my fingerprint. It says on the Samsung.Com website that the gift would be accepted by PayPal merchants so I went to ebay and shopped. My backup card with PayPal has expired so there's technically no money to be taken from there and my PayPal balance is less than a dollar; however, I was able to purchase 2 cases, a screen protector and Bluetooth headphones. I received confirmation emails on all orders. Either PayPal paid for those items, they'll be denied or I'll have a negative balance on my account. I'll know for sure this week. Thought it might be worth a try.

Make sure your carrier is participating
Some carriers have opted out of the promotion on phones otherwise eligible. Among those not currently participating are the following carriers:
United States: AT&T
Japan: NTT DoCoMo

Lets vote. What REALISTIC compensation do you expect from Google Play Store for their mis-handling of their Nexus 4 launch. Lets take a poll!
- Free Shipping
- Free $25 gift card from Google Play
- Free 50GB of Google Drive Storage
- Free Bumper Case
- White Nexus 4
Problems with launch:
1. No clear time to order. Many people missed their orders
2. 3 week delays for orders that were placed minutes into the store opening.
3. Crashing website, repeat orders.
4. Limbo-ness
They already waived the shipping fees for the people on 3 week delay.

I think this is beyond technical difficulties. They didnt even determine a launch hour leaving many of us waiting 3AM in the morning to order a phone. I think they mis-managed things, not just the technical breakdown of their google play store opening. Think about how many people with their chrome auto-refresh plugin that checked every 5 seconds for an update added on to the load of the google play server. Its really mismanaged and its like they were asking to be DDOSed with crome plugins.
Do we really need loads of threads whining about this?
I'd like a Samsung 830 256GB SSD for my laptop. Please.
I want them to make me the ceo of google.. lol.. i ll ship every nexus to every1 for free.. haha
I expect them to refund shipping cost.
Since the shipping cost is counted before tax is calculated, I expect them to refund the tax on shipping, too.
Interesting how many people only want free shipping. Maybe it should also be upgraded to next day express mail.

If you haven't bought your One yet (like me) you might wanna read this.
I just realized that if I buy an HTC One at RadioShack (Sprint, AT&T has this too) you get $100 in Google Play credit. Plus, if you register your device before July 15th, you get $25 in credit from HTC..
Holy cow, that is $125 in Play credit. :highfive: :good:
So, what the heck am I gonna do with all that? I'm not complaining but only trying to encourage discussion. I guess the main point of this thread is, what would/will YOU do with that?
EDIT: Perhaps I'll buy this!!

Yeah.... I won't be running out of Google Play money for a while though. You could say buy a movie or TV show, but I have Netflix. Another crappy thing is that you can't use Play credit to subscribe to Play Music All Access, which is dumb if you ask me. I can use Spotify on my computer anyway..

So, once again, here's the scenario:
Somebody goes to RadioShack, and buys an HTC One--AT&T or Sprint, there's no difference for this--and then they receive $100 Play credit from RadioShack. SPRINT LINK AT&T LINK
Unfortunately, the AT&T has to be done in store due to RadioShack's agreements with AT&T. The Sprint can be bought online I believe.
After that, the person goes home, and goes to this HTC site to register their device and receive $25 in Google Play credit.
They now have $125 in Google Play credit at their disposal. They might have to use it before the end of the year or something (at least for the HTC given credit if you look at their ToS for the deal), but hey that's still a pretty good deal if you ask me. Especially if it's on a new contract, you will receive more Play Credit than you paid for the device itself (of course, there's a million other fees though.)
Stepped up and got this deal yesterday. took me a little while to figure out how to root it, but its up and running now! Just backing up stuff on my note 2 right now :thumbup:

Do you know if this is true for the $100 that RadioShack gives you? I looked at the fine print and didn't see any deadline for that credit to expire, but maybe I missed something.

I think only the HTC credit expires, if you read the fine print on their page. RadioShack does not, unless we're both mistaken. So, spend your $25 from HTC first, and then add your RadioShack and you shouldn't have to worry about expiration.
Wish I saw that 100 $ play store credit deal sooner... Just ordered my sisters HTC one last Wednesday... At least I got the activation fee waived through a promo :/

Unless Samsung only manufactured a limited amount of these things and carriers will not be replenishing their stocks. On the launch day of the Note 3, the store I went to only had two. I was not looking to get one anyway because I have heard mixed reviews but if they pursue a second generation version of the watch maybe this time they will get it right.

You need to do it from your Note 8 even though the web site says you can do it via the web. It would just link me to the Samsung app. Once I opened that it recognized my Note 8 and asked me the basic questions and then I made my choice. I took a picture of the receipt and within an hour I got the "Congratulations" email. They are supposed to ship around 9/25 based on what the Samsung app said.

I'm with Sprint and got mine Tuesday around noon. Went to Best buy for a case and they had to go in the back to bring them out, so I got a case and screen protector. The girl who sold me them looked all "butt-hurt" because her Note8 wasn't coming till Wednesday or Thursday. Ordered my 360 camera and it was processed and shipped on Thursday, should be here Saturday or Monday. And I got $200 off the phone too! Battery life is AMAZING and the Gearvr that shipped with the S8+ works great too...phone stays cool and zero lag
