Q:TMO Pre Order Gift? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

This is my first pre order so take it easy i did not get anything in my ups just the phone......Did anyone get the gifts? Or even when its from tmo or any company you have to get it from samsung promotions????

You have to sign up for the promotions via the shop Samsung app. You don't get the gifts when you purchase the phone. Takes 6-8 weeks to get them once verified

I saw someone in another thread claiming that the Carriers were offering the same gifts as Samsung. I'm with T-Mob, and as far as I can tell, they are only offering a BOGO and a free 360 camera if you change service from another carrier while buying the Note 8 from them. Then later I saw an article claiming what the guy on XDA said, (that those buying from the carriers could also get the Samsung promotions) but I have not been able to verify that. AFAIK you can only get the Samsung freebees if you order directly from Samsung.

Yup. The 360 if offered if you switch carriers...Damn...they should just offer it to all...per there website.

My main carrier is T-mobile. I just went to the store and pre-ordered 4 note 8s. Once they came I downloaded the app and I was given the option of both the gifts. Which was surprising to me, because I read that the camera was going to be the only freebie available to t-mobile users

25% off after t-mobile order cancelation

So I've just received a email saying my order was canceled because it was listed at the wrong price.
You can still get the 25% off price by calling your local best buy and order over the phone, ask them to match t-mobiles' price.
I just ordered and picked my galaxy gear for $280.73 with a 2 year geeksquad warranty.
Hope this helps.

i checked for a best buy near me who had the galaxy gear in stock an ordered from them.
i called the best buy in newnan georgia.
i asked what i needed to give her in order to do the price match, she told me to bring a copy of my order checkout from t-mobile.
they rep i spoke to said they do price matches from major carriers; and i asked if they matched t-mobile.com price, which she did.
see me other attachment for my best buy receipt.

I had Best Buy price match last week. I have Verizon so i couldnt use it until yesterday anyways. I tossed it on eBay for 400 bucks for giggles. And sure enough it sold within a day. So I just had Best Buy price match a second one yesterday Made the 2nd one nearly free when factoring in the profit. :good:

My best buy still honored tmoble price match. Just got watch about an hour ago. Talked to manager straight off the bat and asked if they had watch. When he said yes I asked for price match and handed him tmoble price I printed off a few days ago. He said he's not suppose to but doesn't really care and he gave me the price. Got it for 209 plus tax.

The foursquare app gives you 30% accessories when you check in at certain tmobile stores. The Gear qualifies as an accessory. Try that if no luck at BB.

I was at best buy other day and asked the rep in the mobile section and he told me that they would not carry the n6, but he could have been wrong or stalling.
I called best buy after seeing an article that they would carry the nexus 6 and they told me that they were not going to carry it.
Why don't you just get it directly from AT&T website and have it delivered to you? Inventory for the n6 is very weak meeting it's demand right now.

Exactly what he said lol I'm glad no one where I live actually knows about the Nexus 6 or wants one here, So I was able to wait 2 - 3 days and my Local T-Mobile Store still had it for sale.
The problem with BB is that they seem to charge an extra $50 for the phone if you want to pay MSRP for it. When I was looking at the Note 4, they were $50 more than Verizon and refused to price match. Maybe they do that to make up for the no restocking fee.....

Ya, you have to get it from the ATT website as the stores were ordered to send back their shipments. Even if you do get it from ATT you will get some "extras" that you probably don't want from them.

The "extras" can be removed, in my opinion, just get whatever method gets you the phone fastest as you possibly can.

I did see one a few weeks ago. Seems to be a new one. Maybe since verizon just rolled out samsung pay.
Do you know how long til they confirm you will get it?
I got mine today.
Samsung sent me 2 of them, both black. Not sure how this happened, but I am not going to argue, that's for sure.
The weird part is I got an email yesterday telling me it was still on back order. Maybe that is for the other 5 they are going to accidentally send me?

I ordered it the same day that the full version of Samsung Pay came out, which I think was the 28th of September.
Come to think of it, I had a lot of issues getting the order to complete since I think the site was getting hammered with requests for the offer. I am thinking that may be how I wound up getting 2 of them. I remember having to try and re-submit the order multiple times because it would time out on almost each step.
So 30 days from order to front door. That's not too bad for that kind of promotion. Faster than most rebates too.
Has to be a new offer.
Offer valid 10/28/15 – 11/8/15
Anyone know if you used the previous promotion if you will be able to use this one again? cant check right now so if someone has let us know. thanks

The T&C say no.
I put in for each of our phones.... so 3 of them should be delivered.
I got the phone on 9/29 signed up the same day. Rooted it and said goodbye to samsung pay 10/29. Coincidentally the same day they shipped me the free charger.
The new offer is not working on my wife's note5. She just signed up and added a card today but the app says the promotion is expired. WTF Samsung!
I noticed the dates on the app are dofferent. Maybe try their website. What cards are yall using? I'm having trouble just trying to find a correct card

Its worth a shot anyways. This time they don't provide a promo code that is on your phone like they did with the first promo. Samsung got smart and are tracking it by IMEI and Wifi MAC Address this time around so it should only be a 1 time thing now.

Why are you surprised? Once you do the offer and get the promo code and make the Samsung order, Samsung doesn't check to see if you are still using it.

Awesome reply. However I've already been on their website along with their app. I have 2 of the 5 cards they say to have and they don't work. Hence my question what cards are you guys using?
I had 5 different Amex cards linked and working for a month before i got rid of it and finally rooted it a few days ago

Samsung Promotion problem

So I got my phone today and the screen was defective. I have to return it and re-order a new one. Problem is now I'm outside the promotional date. T-Mobile customer service said they can make a note on my new receipt/contract, so Samsung would still honor it. I'm kind of skeptical about that, so I wanted to check in with you guys.
Do you think if I send in my original receipt/contract will it work or should I just wait till another promotion comes?
Send it in, waiting sounds like a long shot. As long as you have the receipt with the mac and imei you are good.

This happened to me when I got the s7e. I was able to get the vr anyway. Worse case scenario talk to tmoblie and they will make sure ypu get product you wanted. My mother was getting the note 7 and they didn't have the color she wanted anywhere. They told her they were getting some this week but I told them she'd be outside the promotional date. They told us not to worry that they would get the gear fit through them.

Kind of unrelated but when I went to that Samsung app it showed an option to purchase a s8 plus for 11.99 total price. I tried to do it but then it popped up to 899. Luckily I took a screen shot, wonder if I can press this and get a second phone for $12 ?

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.

If you order direct from Samsung everything comes together. If you order from a carrier, you have to send in documentation before they ship the gifts to you.

Note sure what to say. I could understand that if Samsung was shipping early and the free items came with it but I don't believe Samsung is shipping yet. The only carrier I know for sure has shipped is VZW and since this is a an offer direct from Samsung, not sure how anyone in the US would have received their gifts yet.

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
