Quick question -- I've preordered a Nexus 7 16gb and i wanted to use the $25 to grab some tablet apps on my Nook while i wait for it. Only issue is, the credit isn't showing up in my payment options...
Do you get the credit upon ordering, or is that when you activate it?
it looks like you get the credit once the new device is activated. at least, that's how it looked from the google videos.

We get Transfomers: Dark of the Moon, The Bourne Dominon (book), and a couple magazines. Plus the $25 credit, of course.
Question
Is everybody who buys this tablet now or in the store getting 25$ giftcard and films or just the one who are pre-ordering it in Google Play Store?

It says for a limited time, so I assume just those who are pre-ordering. Or the first round of pre-orders, who knows.
I do think it is good the credit/movies and all that will just come on the device. Easiest way to do it.
Strategy
In their developer conference they said that it is new strategy to customers buy more products in Google Play, but he did not say if all tablets have that 25$ gift
provided all pre-ordered devices will get $25 gift.what happens if the device is activated outside US,UK, and Australia? will there still be $25 gift in the form of other currency? thanks

I do believe that's a question to call and ask google. They havent released any info yet about overseas presales that I'm aware of

When I ordered mine (Canada), it did showed credit being applicable. Anyways, with the amount of taxes we pay - I guess Google hand out pro-rated credits
Does the credit apply to the play store as a whole, meaning can this credit be applied toward the case or other accessories?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the free credit will show up once your card has been placed and the order shipped and it probably applies to apps or media. The free book, movie and magazines will probably only be accessible if you log into google play from the US or Canada, The UK or Australia the only places where legit pre-orders are available right now.
If you pre-order one and you log in for the first time outside of those countries, you will not be able to access that part of the play store and download the free media. I may be wrong and it all comes pre-loaded but I have a feeling otherwise, I guess we will have to wait and see.
Okay, so the free credit (£15 per device - from the UK); I've ordered 2 tablets together - to save on postage. One for my wife and one for someone else, I ordered it while logged into my google account and unticked the option that said to register the devices to me (as obviously my wife and friend have their own google accounts).
So how will it know to assign the credit to them, is this built into the tablet rather than via the store? Sorry I'm a bit confused and don't want to lose out on the £30 total credit.

Perhaps a card is given in the packaging with a number similar to a credit card number and when you go to input a credit card you type in this number so you can pay with it like that; and then perhaps you can choose between using a credit card or using the gift card.
Credit is given when the actual device is activated.
Credit goes to the Google account used for that activation.
I already have about $50 in Play Store Credit. I'll get another $100 from two Nexi purchases. I wish there was a way to convert that credit into Google Play Store Gift Cards so I can gift them. It's still a Google Play Store Gift card and goes straight to Google. I just don't understand why Google doesn't allow us to do something this simple and obvious. Anyone have any workarounds to make something like this possible?
I saw some suggestions on creating an App that takes in-app payments and using it. Seems convoluted and I'd lose 30%. But I guess I may just try that.
That is convoluted, but if you were going to not be able to use it at all in a year it would be better than losing it.
Edit: does it work to pay for Google Music? Maybe try that?
Because if they allowed you to exchange them for a physical gift card you can resell them to a number of sites that buy gift cards. Most if not all of them do not accept e-gift cards or cards that expire like the Nexus gift.
Ebay does not allow selling e-gift cards either (although plenty do). I'm not sure what happens if you get flagged on eBay selling an e-gift card.
To be honest I don't really know what the credit can be used for. I guess whatever crap that's on the play store like music and movies which I can probably get for free otherwise?
I'll likely just use it to support app developers and buy paid versions of their stuff.

I'm pretty sure you are just emailed a code for the $50 when ordering the phones. So all you have to do is give that code to the person you want to gift it too and they redeem it

That's right. I already got the code for the 6P which will arrive tomorrow. The problem with the $50 code is that it's a lot for a single person. But if I could have split it into 2 $25 or the $100 into 5 $20, it would make a much easier gift to give to family and friends.
I already have paid apps for any apps that I use. I have a few in the wish list, but nothing really compelling. I'm never going to buy any of the ridiculously priced movies. I get most of my music from Amazon. But most of my music is really ripped from my CDs. Google doesn't have a particularly good India music collection.

That's a good point. I hadn't considered that. Gift cards don't expire. These would. But I wish I could have at least split up the Play Credit. Oh well.
Just pre-ordered too! I'm thinking I should be able to cancel or return under buyers remorse and turn around to avail of this offer of it is actually released.
http://www.tmonews.com/2016/03/t-mo...axy-s7-and-s7-edge-buy-one-get-one-free-deal/
The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are now just four days away from hitting store shelves, and when they do launch, T-Mobile will have an offer ready to go along with them.
A source just sent in the image you see above, which reveals that T-Mobile will kick off a Buy One, Get One Free promo for the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge on March 11. To qualify, you’ll need at least one new line of service, and one of the phones will need to be on that line. Both phones will need to be purchased on an Equipment Installment Plan, and you will have to pony up any taxes and down payment on the free device. There’s also a mention of a prepaid MasterCard mail-in rebate.
Some other tidbits worth noting about this deal include the limit of two free phones per account and the fact that employees aren’t eligible for the offer. Sorry, T-Mobile employees.
The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge are two of the top-end smartphones on the market, and so being able to get one for free will be a pretty nice deal. Of course, you’ll need to find someone that wants to sign up for a new line to take advantage, but if you know someone looking for some new cell service, this could be a good way to get them (or you both) to join the Magenta side. With this offer expected to launch on March 11, we should hear more about it later this week, so stay tuned.
Thanks, Juárez75!

Definitely curious about that myself, but from what I read, the VR and Netflix offer is valid for purchase of a Samsung Galaxy S7 or Samsung Galaxy S7 edge from 2/23/16 through 3/18/16. If that is the case and this BOGO offer does come out on 3/11, then the VR and Netflix offer should apply. Then again, I could be wrong.

How would we go about canceling the pre-order if our products haven't shipped, or just wait to receive them and take them to T-Mobile. I think with this promotion, you should be able to call and they can fix without having to return the devices. It's a lot of returns if they don't.
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
The pre-order deal should still apply, but, that's only if there are any left. Samsung only has 300k VR deal for all providers.

Definitely a good question and would like to find out also. I assume that we would either cancel before the order is shipped or cancel and return after receiving the phone. Although I do hope if this offer does come out that they honor it over thru customer service.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Free mobile app
The only issue some of the people will have is that I believe one of the phones has to be a new line of service. I have 2 lines without phones I can cancel and then it allows me to add 2 new lines. That is the catch.
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
I have 2 lines now, so I assume I could upgrade a line, add a line and then cancel the non upgrade line and still be eligible for the deal?
I'm glad I ported my main numbers to Google Voice way back when so I don't have to worry about the phone numbers
Is this deal true? Or just a rumor? Seems too good to be true.

Its real, ATT is offering a similar deal. Not a bad idea to get the phone out there as much as possible. Ill add a third line then cancel it later if I decide to get the phone.
That is a great deal.. I'm thinking about cancelling my jod and going with this.

Here is the FAQ on T-mobiles site:
http://www.t-mobile.com/offer/galaxy-s7-faq.html
Good news for EIP pre-orders:
I already bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 / Galaxy S7 edge. Can I get one free?
Yes. If you bought the first Samsung Galaxy S7 / Galaxy S7 edge on EIP, you may also purchase a second Galaxy S7 / Galaxy S7 edge on EIP, then add a line for that second device and, if you meet the requirements, you will be eligible for the rebate.
sucks for me because I always buy my phone without contracts....
And I hate dealing with returns.
T-Mobile: Hi

T-Mobile: The offer is fulfilled by a prepaid MasterCard for the cost of the second device.

T-Mobile: Adding a new line is a must to become eligible for this offer.
You: got it
T-Mobile: Additionally, you will receive the prepaid MasterCard within 8 weeks after submitting the rebate.
T-Mobile: And you must pay the EIP on both devices.

T-Mobile: Hope I was able to provide all the needed info for you.
You: thanks
T-Mobile: Thank you for your time as well.
T-Mobile Have a great day
I contacted them and they told me since my plan doesn't require a credit check * I have great credit* that I no able to get this deal...
So now i'm going to return my s7 edge which I paid in full and switch my account to a credit check type... Absolutely not leaving a free phone on the table...that's just stupid unless you have awful credit. I end up spending the same but I get an extra phone right? No brainer.....

That's BS, I have excellent credit as well and I just had them order me a new one for my wife, she is losing her number. They said I can start a new line and they would cancel the other line.
What she said...I also called customer service hoping for a different outcome. What makes me upset is that people who like to pay the device in full get screwed over .... doesn't make sense....
No worries, Omar! So sorry for the delay in response -- I really appreciate your patience while I get back to you. This promotion isn't available to our Simple Choice No Credit account types and does require that a line of service be added at time of order, so you would be ineligible this time around. However, I definitely want to ensure you're able to take advantage of our other S7 promotion that gets you a free Samsung VR headset and year of Netflix while supplies last! Is that something you've submitted for yet? *SamanthaA

No no I wasn't calling your response BS, I was just saying that it's such BS that you have to do that.
It's also BS that you have add a brand new number (so they can say to wall street that the added these many 'new' lines) just when I am canceling another number, so net 0 benefit. Luckily my wife doesn't care about losing her old number so win for me.
I currently have a family plan that gives me unlimited data on 2 lines for $100 (it was a promo that ended last year I believe). If I add another line to get this phone, would it ruin my current plan or would I be able to revert right back after canceling the line?
Samsung if offering a $30 GC to Bestbuy, Whole Foods, Reval Cinema, Nike or ebay when you make your first purchase with Samsung Pay. I just signed up for the offer and got a BesrBuy GC see attached image

Is there a limit you need to buy to get the $30 gift card? Can I just go and buy and a candy bar or bottle of pop and will that be enough to qualify for the gift card? Also do I get the gift card in the mail? I'm assuming because my CC information is stored and it will be sent to my house. I'm hopiong there will be a note on my Samsung Pay app that I bought something and and there will be a note saying I get the gift card. Gotta love Samsung and the S7 Edge. :victory:

This information is available inn the apps promotion and via the Samsung pay website. However, I can tell you how it worked for me. There was no minimum limit to the purchase and as soon as Samsung pay was used (I bought a Jimmy John's), a popup in the app let's you know that the gift card is available. You then get to choose which card you want and select it. You then get the option to add it to your Samsung Pay app. I already spent the Samsung gift card I chose and it worked like a charm. But you really should check the website for further info and card eligibility.
Oh, and make sure you have the latest update of Samsung Pay on your phone before you make a purchase so the promotion will be pre-loaded. You can see if it is there checking the "events" part of the app.
You'll get the gift card right away added to the Samsung pay app used mine immediately on ebay

Pretty much anywhere that has a magnetic strip reader or a tap to pay terminal. The kind that you swipe the card yourself. I'm not sure about gas pumps though. That's one of the things that makes Samsung Pay better than Android Pay or Apple Pay (in my opinion). MST tech means there doesn't need to be a NFC terminal involved.
Assuming you're not buying an international variant (or waiting until the official unlocked version releases in May) and using it in the US, where's the best place to pre-order your device?
I technically already pre-ordered mine at Best Buy, but if there's a better place listed, I might just cancel my current pre-order and order it elsewhere. For reference, I'm on AT&T.
And I thought this thread could be helpful for those haven't pre-ordered yet. I can update this post as needed, so it'll be easier to reference.
-------------------------------------------------
All pre-orders of the S8/S8+ will get a free Gear VR & Controller plus an Oculus game pack, but you can also add on a $99 package to also get a pair of bluetooth AKG over-the-ear headphones and a 256GB microSD card.
Must redeem before 5/21/17 through Samsung Promotions, unless otherwise noted.
Note: You can't actually redeem it UNTIL you receive your device, unless you order directly from Samsung. Seems like the only exception to this.
ADDED 4/3: No more than 350,000 bundle gifts and no more than 50,000 box gifts will be given out during this promotion. Will take 6-8 weeks to receive items.
If they run of of the pre-order bonuses, you'll be gifted a $129 credit. Not sure how this would affect the add-on package you pay for, but maybe a refund for that. (thanks to fcb1 for info on the credit and numbers on the bundle, updated 4/3)
-------------------------------------------------
Places to pre-order:
Will include any notes about anything I'm personally uncertain about, even after looking in the site itself. Will appreciate anyone who can clarify things.
Carrier-specific deals (see list below this section) should be able to be stacked at these locations as well, but ask them, just to be sure.
Unless you buy the device upfront, you only have to pay tax and activation fee (unless you have a corporate discount or other exceptions) when you pick up the device. Depending on the carrier, you may also have to pay additional money upfront, as a down payment.
List Updated: 4/3/2017 @ approx 1:20PM EDT
Thanks to LoliSmith, 954wrecker, eyc, & LoliSmith for contributing to the list thus far~
Best Buy: (Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint)
Save up to $100 when you pre-order the S8 & S8+
You save $50 on the S8, $100 on the S8+.
NOTE: You MUST choose a payment plan to get this deal as if you buy the device upfront, you will have to pay the full retail price (varies by carrier). The $50 or $100 discount is an overall discount, but you basically save a lil bit every month, over the course of the plan -- S8: save $2.09/mo for 24 months, AT&T Next 30 months - save $1.67/mo | S8+: save $4.17/mo for 24 months, AT&T Next 30 months - save $3.35/mo
Samsung: (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile)
By purchasing the phone directly from Samsung, you don't have to wait to get the pre-order bonuses, as they'll get shipped with the device. Won't need to submit the form on Samsung Promotions to redeem it.
Will get the devices a day early, on 4/20
NOTE: If you pre-order from Samsung directly, these are NOT unlocked phones. You will have to wait until May to get the unlocked version.
Walmart: (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, US Cellular - in-store ONLY), (Straight Talk - BOTH online & in-store), (Total Wireless - online ONLY)
You can save $150 when pre-ordering the S8/S8+ (uncertain if this is a credit on the device like Best Buy's offer or a Gift Card - needs confirmation)
MUST sign up for the installment plan to get the deal, otherwise you pay full retail. - ONLY valid on Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint
Added 4/6:You MUST do a $50 down payment (OR whatever amount your carrier requires you to put down as a down payment). When you pick up the phone, the amount you put down as a down payment is stacked with the $150 discount. Then from there, that amount is divided into the number of months for your payment plan with your carrier.
LoliSmith said:
So for the Verizon S8, you pay the sales tax on $720 and $50 downpayment to Walmart and then it would be this:
$720 - $150 discount - $50 downpayment = $520 = $21.67/mo

NOTE: If you want to pre-order in-store, you can NOT go to any Walmart location. It's specific ones and even the ones that do pre-orders, may not have your specific carrier. I found it to be quite hit and miss when I put my location in. Your experience may vary.
Target: (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint)
You get a $100 Target gift card with purchase and activation of S8 & S8+ (uncertain if you can get the gift card if you buy the phone upfront. I believe you can, but I want to be 100% sure - needs confirmation)
Sam's Club: (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, US Cellular)
You get a $150 Sam's Club gift card with purchase and activation of S8 & S8+ (uncertain if you can use the gift card at Walmart, or is Sam's Club specific. Heard that it can also be used at Walmart. - needs confirmation)
Added 4/3:You MUST do a payment plan as you can NOT buy devices outright.
Must pre-order between 3/30/17 and 4/12/17 and have to pick up and activate the device between 4/21 & 4/30
Added 4/3: Seems like you can ONLY pre-order online. (I checked their front page, after discovering the original link I plopped here wasn't working. If anyone has had success pre-ordering in-store, let me know. - needs confirmation)
No activation fee IF you pick up the phone between 4/21 - 4/23
NOTE: You must have a Sam's Club membership to pre-order from them.
Costco: (Verizon ONLY - If you're on AT&T, T-Mobile, or Sprint, you HAVE to wait until launch to purchase the device)
Pre-order in-store ONLY
You MUST do a payment plan as you can NOT buy devices outright.
Pre-order bonus of a pair of Level U Pro headphones
Includes TYLT Power Essentials pack: TYLT 5200mAh battery pack, 3' micro USB cable, 3' USB-C cable, Dual Port 4.8A Car Charger, Dual Port 4.8A Car Charger, Carrying Case
NOTE: MUST be a Costco member to pre-order here.
NOTE 4/3: I went to Costco to clarify the deal, so this is current to what I was told. I asked about the gift card someone else mentioned, and there will be NO gift cards via pre-order. They will only come AFTER launch, and it's gonna depend on the carrier. Will update this if that changes.
Directly from carriers:
Includes all carrier-specific offers. If you pre-order them elsewhere (list above), the deals other retailers offer should stack, but double check, if you want actually want to take advantage of these offers below.
Unless you buy the device upfront, you only have to pay tax and activation fee (unless you have a corporate discount) when you pick up the device. Depending on the carrier, you may also have to pay additional money upfront, as a down payment.
Verizon:
Full Retail Cost: $720 (S8), $840 (S8+)
Payment Plan for 24 months: $30/mo. (S8), $35/mo. (S8+)

Down Payment: $0
AT&T:
Full Retail Cost: $750 (S8), $850 (S8+)

Down Payment: $0 (ADDED 4/3: However, you may have to put a down payment of 30%. Optional with good credit. Might be required otherwise.)
There's a BOGO deal, however here's the catch: One of those lines MUST be a new line AND you also MUST be a new or current DIRECTV customer. You can bypass the new line requirement if you simply open a new line and cancel one of your current lines.

You also have to be on their Total Plan or Shared Connect plan and subscribe to the company's Device Protection + program as well.
For MetroPCS, Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile USA, Cricket:
You can't pre-order the devices, so they'll be available upon launch on 4/21. (Can you still get the Gear VR deal at launch with these companies, or is this only available for the carriers that you can do pre-orders for? I assume not, but not 100% sure. - needs clarification)
With MetroPCS, you can pre-register for the device, so upon launch you can get the free Gear VR & Controller after purchase. Unlike the carriers where you can do pre-orders for, to redeem this offer, you have to go through MetroPCS's offer site, not Samsung Promotions. You must use the same email that you used when you pre-registered for the device and upload an image file of your purchase receipt by 5/21/17.

Apparently, T-Mobile doesn't want them to sell them in most 3rd party locations, such as Walmart, Best Buy, and Target. I've seen T-Mobile devices sold at Costco still, so not sure what's up with that. For a while, Costco didn't even have them to begin with, only Verizon, AT&T, and maybe Sprint. Was only recently that I saw T-Mobile there.
I'm not sure if you bought one at one carrier if it'd work in another as sometimes there will be missing bands as the phone was designed for that specific carrier. It depends on the phone really. Verizon is pretty notorious about using phones that weren't specifically designed for their network.
Unless it's changed from a few years ago, even if the phone had the correct bands to work on their CDMA network, if the phone wasn't whitelisted, you couldn't use it. Between T-Mobile and AT&T, it's much easier to go back and forth because they both use GSM networks and you can generally just plop in your SIM card and you're good to go, assuming you have the phone unlocked (or just buy an unlocked phone from the start). This is also why most of the US tech bloggers/Youtubers have either AT&T or T-Mobile.

Thanks for the links~ Added to the OP.
Also, I looked into the Walmart one and turns out... it depends on your location. For me, when I put my location in, the nearest one that will do it, is like 45 min away. T.T My local ones in town aren't listed. I could try to go to my local one and see what's up, but that's something to keep in mind.
I did try to look into if Sam's Club gift cards actually work at Walmart as well, but besides stuff on the internet, I have no first hand experience with Sam's Club as there isn't one near me. Need someone who has dealt with this, to clarify. :/

Anyone here get tangled up in the Note7 recall? A lesson to be learned is that if there's a problem with the phone in general or yours in particular where you buy it makes a difference.
The mass market B&M retailers including Best Buy were incredibly difficult for people to deal with. Target and Walmart being exceptionally bad. Online, Amazon was fantastic and B&H gets honorable mention. Ironically Samsung.com get's a resounding "F." People who pre-ordered from them were the last to get their phones and they were clueless and helpless during the recall. Samsung.com isn't run by Samsung. It's run by Digital River on their behalf. I've had problems even ordering accessories from them. I'd stay far away. People that bought grey market phones from eBay in many cases were either left with no refund or spent inordinate amounts of time trying to get their Note7's refunded. So - Caveat Emptor,

I had a wonderful experience with Target. They let me keep not only the $100 gift card for the trade in (which they had to) but also the $200 gift card for adding a new line. I returned the Note 7 for a full refund.
Those who didn't and exchanged for the replacement notes did even better - they kept the gift cards and freebies from the first Note 7, then got a second round of freebies for the replacement Note 7. Then returned that and got an S7E and got more freebies and a $100 bill credit from Verizon.

Probably not if the state you live charges tax. When the unlocked one is released B&H doesn't charge tax outside its state.

I was one of the first to receive a pre-order Note7 from AT&T. I was the one the first to exchange it during recall round 1. I was one of the first to get a S7e when Samsung threw in the towel. I was on the Note7 forum for a long time before and after all that. What I shared was capsulized from what I read there. I'm glad you had a good experience but there were plenty of people who bought through Target who had ended up disputing the charge on their credit card after getting stonewalled in-store only to have Target challenge the dispute. In most cases it worked out but what about all the time, hassle, and strife people went through? Chains like Walmart and Target are luck of the draw with very different experiences based on city and region. I'm in Southern Louisiana and I'd buy nothing more complicated than lettuce or toilet paper from either of them because if the before-sale experience is awful I can only imagine what after-sale would look like.
I'm buying a UK S8+ this time but if I were buying a carrier version the Note7 experience taught me the value of dealing with a company to whom I'm not a one-time sale (EG: Best Buy, Target, Walmart) vs. a carrier to who I pay $2K a year. From the Note7 debacle I got a 128GB storage card, Gear VR, $100 bill credit, $100 in waived Next payments, a S7e outright for the Next pay-off ($385) of my returned Note5, and a Gear S3 for $49. Not everyone had my experience with AT&T just like others didn't have yours at Target. But I can say without question Note7 owners dealing with a carrier vs. third party resellers (especially Samsung.com) faired far better. Where third parties rigorously enforce returns, exchanges, and service policies (and some even have their own separate ET clauses) carriers apply some subjectivity because of your overall worth to them.
It would be hard to imagine a repeat of the Note7 debacle so the above is admittedly extreme. But where you buy your phone still matters.

I heard about that debacle, but I didn't have a Note 7, so this didn't affect me at all. I was wondering though, for those who were affected, are they getting any discounts for an upcoming device? I heard that this was the case in South Korea, but I'm quite unsure about elsewhere as I honestly didn't look too much into it because I never owned a Note 7 myself.

If you buy it secondhand, like from Swappa, which is where I bought my S6. However, you will have to pay whatever amount the person wants for the device. Depending on the person, you might be able to negotiate, but don't bet on paying much less than what they're listing the device for.
Now, that's if you buy it from another person. If you buy it from a 3rd party reseller (not an individual person, but a company), you might have to pay tax, depending on where they're located and if you're located in the same location, or are on a list of states they charge sales tax in.
-------------------------------------------------
Updated the list with all carrier information and specific offers that I'm aware of, at the moment.
Awesome thread. Thanks OP.
General question about the VZW promos that one of you may know:
This morning, I upgraded all devices on my family plan to the Unlimited Data Plan (3 phones and 3 tablets). But, later this evening, I learned about the S8 pre-order/upgrade/trade-in promo, where you can trade in an old phone for 50% off the S8, provided that you upgrade to UDP.
Will Verizon allow me to make use of this promo, even though I already upgraded to UDP earlier today? I'd like to trade in one mobile device (Galaxy S6) and get the 50% discount on the Galaxy S8.
Or will they fight me on this and tell me that I have to pre-order at the time of the upgrade?

Thanks! I thought having everything consolidated would be helpful and nice to have it all in a single place.
Hm, as to your question, from what I can tell while I was doing research earlier, you shouldn't have an issue. As you already have the unlimited plan, you can simply jump to the step where you can trade in an eligible phone. Apparently, you can also trade in a phone after checking out too.
With the phone you trade in, it HAS to already be fully paid off and in good working condition. With the credits, they'll appear on your bill over 24 months and will start start within 1-2 cycles. They'll stop once either the phone's paid off OR the line is cancelled/transferred to an illegible plan.
I do wonder what would happen if you were to pay off the phone before 24 months ends, if you still have those credits... Because how I interpreted what I read from Verizon's site about the deal, they go poof, if you pay off the device beforehand.

Dumb question, but what does it mean when Samsung says "while supplies last"? Since you don't get the VR set immediately upon purchase, isn't it feasible that supplies run out before you redeem the offer? That couldn't possibly be the case, right?
Usually, when someone says "while supplies last," it means that the promo will terminate early if supplies run out. But, here, Samsung can't know if supplies run out until people start trying to redeem, after their purchase. So, can people be caught in the middle and not get anything even if they purchased while supplies were still in stock?

I have had tremendously good customer service with Best Buy and terrible customer service with Verizon corporate stores. Either way, after the 2 week return period is up, I deal with the manufacturer directly for warranty claims. I have back up phones so it is not a problem for me to send my phone off.
AT&T customer service is definitely worse than Verizon, I switched to Verizon from AT&T and noticed the difference right away.

I have never had a problem with Best Buy or Target. If I get the S8, I am pre-ordering it from Walmart for $150 off. With tax and upgrade fee it will come to $635 + freebies. Not sure if I will get it or not because for sure I am getting the Note 8. My Note 5 is getting long in the tooth and its battery is really showing its age.
I do have a Pixel that I haven't used yet, I guess I could use that and forego the S8. I am trying to control myself when it comes to buying phones but it is so hard to do when they are so shiny and pretty and new, lol!

Nope. Samsung's U.S. SVP said "they'd make it up to us" when the Note7 first got cancelled but nothing's been done outside the similar promos offered during the Note7's launch. Lots of market surveys were done about the damage to the Samsung brand over the Note7 and how customer loyalty was affected. For the most part the results were positive. I'm sure that played a hand in what Samsung decided about doing recompense wise for former Note7 owners. They could still do something on the backend like a free accessory or Samsung.com credit. They know who we are.

Like fb1 said, you'll get a credit if they run out before you can redeem it. I have no idea how many of these Gear VRs they even plan on giving out, so the sooner you get your device, the sooner you can redeem it, and you'll be more likely to receive it.
Considering it's gonna take a few weeks anyway to confirm and get the free gift, they could always make more in the meantime. That, and I assume they're basing their estimates on how many people pre-ordered the S7 and then adding some additional stock from there. There's no way to know the exact number of Gear VRs they put to the side, unless you actually work for Samsung. Even if you did, that information would be on the DL anyway...

Ouch. :/ That sucks. Hope they do something about it. Maybe something for the upcoming Note 8 launch this fall, as I assume that people who had the Note 7, would want another Note, rather than an S phone. Who knows. It's all speculation until they actually do something.
