Hi Guys,
Had a quick look round and didn't see this posted anywhere so thought it might be usefull to those that want to save some cash.
If you sign onto Quidco and then go to the comet site through their 2.5% cashback link and then when your at the basket in comet put in the following code 5OFF (5% off) then you will get ur Transformer for just over £351 (total of 7.5% off). Enjoy
The 5OFF code only seemed to work if I went through Quidco though.

I think that is what was meant - 2.5% plus the 5% (5OFF) code. That is what I paid also.
Yeah it is a total of 7.5%, 2.5 from comet and the code gives you 5% off. Sorry for any confusion, I have updated my post to hopefully make it clearer.
I went through Quidco and it didn't recognise 5OFF
Did I do something wrong, or has this finished?

I had a lot of hassle ordering from Comet - they rejected me using a Hotmail email account, not using my billing address as the delivery address and giving them a mobile number as contact details rather than a landline - though none of this was in the order rejection emails they sent me (first time I ordered with a debit card and got the payment problems email back, then I tried ordering with a credit card and got a message back saying they'd tried to contact me regarding problems with my order although no message or email had been left).
I had to call them up in the end and do the whole order over the phone on Saturday (received my eee Pad yesterday). The rep said they'd make a note about the problems I had ordering and the less than descriptive rejection emails I received.
Anyway, if you're still having problems, take these things into account when you're making the order.
Ahh, that makes sense! Has anyone tried using the code 50OFF?
Edit: For those running into errors with 5OFF, try 5SPRING instead.

Comet were giving you a load bull. I used my Hotmail account, billing address not same as delivery address & I also used a mobile number. No problems at all. Order was accepted 1st time with all the discount codes & it arrived today but I haven't actually opened it yet as I'm in the process of arguing with them their returns conditions.
I already have a 7" Samsung galaxy Tab which I take everywhere & I'm still on the fence as to whether the 10" size suits me. I want to try it & refund if it doesn't suit. Now Comet charge a 10% restocking fee for open box returns which I think goes against the distance selling rules here in UK.

I have a Galaxy Tab and a Transformer, and I can tell you it is very unlikely you'd travel with the Transformer instead of the Tab. However, for a coffee table tablet, the Transformer is great - the browsing experience us much closer to a full blown laptop than the Tab, and the Honeycomb apps (eg Gmail) are superb.
In summary - out and about, you'll use the Tab, but at home you'll use the Transformer except perhaps late at night in bed, when the smaller size and weight of the Tab may be preferable.
I pretty much expected this before I got my Transformer, so I'm not disappointed with my purchase.
One other thing, the Galaxy Tab is a much better media player in my opinion.
Regards,
Dave

Anyone in the Toronto area (GTA) want to do a group buy of 3 or more for $600 a peice or less???
It says buy 3 at $1800 = $600. If we can get more people, we could get one for $500 each probably.
Let me know. Im down for 1.
buy from where / whom? which supplier?
i'll definitely want a 64GB version, but they are not due out until later this year

Wow, good luck with that purchase. I'm definitely interested if you actually receive the real thing at that price--it seems too good to be true.
Confirmed by the ebay owner of the account says they had their account hijacked and has ended the listing.

Had this happen to our account before with Iphone 4s's of all things
(would'nt have minded so much if they where hocking something Decent )
Will see what happens. Thankfully I am covered by Paypal.
I almost purchased 4 phones from THIS GUY at $600 a piece (at least 2 he said)... but I purchased more than 3 I would get "big discount" ....
So totals were $1,800.00 .. So I decided to make an IP trace. He is supposed to be in Texas, but it returned from yahoo servers in CA.
98.139.212.153
98.139.215.250

Item was shipping from the "UK"... yeah right. Im pretty sure this account is genuine, but got hacked and they are using it for this kindda sh*t.
Oh, something else,.. the email address he is using was apparently made may 9th... BEWARE!
Hi
I saw this same listing and enquired. I received the exact same reply from Elise (no taxes etc) and I followed up with some questions because it all seemed too good to be true and I didn't think the 64GB was even available until after the 16GB had been out a while. She replied saying her business partner who is also her brother works for Samsung, hence the bulk buying they are able to do. When I asked about the closed listing (it ended during our E-mail correspondence) she said she had to close the listing because she was receiving too many requests. She did say it'd all go through eBay still, so that buyer and seller were both protected. I had to reply with details of what I wanted (pebble blue or marble white) plus my address INCLUDING MY EBAY USERNAME. She claimed this was to check my feedback but I think it's so they can generate a convincing spoof E-mail from eBay.
She said I'd receive an invoice from eBay soon and to let her know when I did.
Sounds very fishy! Her English is poor too.
I'll let you know what the eBay E-mail looks like.
Cheers all

Yes mate, I know how you feel. I got straight on to my credit card company this morning & told them to not pay out on this transaction, also contacted Paypal & they told me not to worry as even if the sale has gone through I can still get my money refunded from them. Just annoying, but I suppose its as they say, if the deal looks to good to be true it probably is. Still annoying though.
It's good to know PayPal will cover us in these situations. And it's also sickening to know there are so many ****s like this out there trying to rip people off.
Still no 'E-mail from eBay' to be seen though!
You're exactly right, I myself kept on thinking if it's too good to be true, it probably is, but when it revolves around a sweet piece of kit like the GSIII it's hard not to be intrigued!
And good work on the IP lookup Candanga!

I'm trying to register my devices (s8 & S8+) for the Samsung Promotions but I keep getting IMEI or Mac-Address not found... I have tmobile phones, anyone else have success in registering their phones?
Might have to wait until Friday which is technically the release date. The Lg promotions for the g6 had the same issue.
Yeah mine isn't working either. I'll wait until Friday or Saturday and try again.
Got mine done with no issues but when I hit the order button for the vr, headphones and sdcard it said my cart was empty. Called samsung via home phone and on hold for 25 minutes. She said she would straighten it out, got a call back in 15 minutes and she took my credit card information via phone, received an email stating the order went through. Asked her when she thought they would ship and she said after the 20th.
I would highly recommend doing it from the phone rather than their web site. Mine went through okay but I wanted the headphones bundle. Even though I had that selected, it processed it as vr only it looks like. Still stuck waiting for them on the phone.
wtf.. You may want to check your email. I tried and kept getting errors. I wanted to pay the extra $99. I get an email that says my submission was approved. It was approved for just the headset. On the website it wouldn't take my im/wifi mac on Samsung pay it kept saying socket errors. Somehow it went through for the just the headset. I'm on the phone now...
no issues registering for, and then ordering, the full immersion package through the Shop Samsung app. Just got the confirmation email that my order is being processed and I will get another email when it ships via 2-day air. One strange quirk, though... after I initially registered for the $99 promo option, I got an email saying that they had received my promo request and it could take up to 2 weeks to be processed, at which time I would receive another email with next steps on how to complete the order. That was yesterday. Today, I went back into the Shop Samsung app and saw the order option in the promo tab and it worked like a charm.
What are you all using for proof of purchase in the shop samsung app?
I thought this promotion was supposed to be free! What's this $99 all about?!

$99 is for getting AKG headphone and 256GB MicroSD card which apparently have a combined retail value of $300-$400 something. Also this is in addition to the VR bundle you anyways get for free
Submitted through app, said I was under review, just checked through the website and it says approved.
Mine is worked fine. I used samsung shop app
The app says I've been approved but no where does it give me the option to buy it.

Also had success in the samsung shop app after a failed attempt on the website.
I really wish they'd do this kind of promotions in europe...
Applied 30 minutes ago, went with the upgraded package, did it on the comp, instant approval, went to click the buy button, and the page didn't load with no way to get back to it. 10 minutes later I get an email confirming the approval and a link to buy the upgraded package. Clicked the link and it added it to my cart. Interesting thing is it seems that you can order more than 1 (or at least change the quantity), only ordered 1 though so don't know if you can actually get more. Checked out and got an order confirmation. Says it's expected to ship in 2-3 days with expedited shipping.
Someone who doesn't want their vr? In Europe we get nothing
Thanks dude didn't, thing about ordering threw the app. I did the first part on the website and thought I would have to wait the two weeks for the immersive bundle. Props

The pdf document from the T-Mobile site, your eip agreement.
Can someone else explain time how the registration works exactly? I filled out my forms and they were approved via email. It says 6 to 8 week shipping period, but I've been hearing some people say you have to add it too your cart and actually check out? And what about tracking numbers? Can anyone confirm?
I think that's mainly when you pay for the Immersive bundle which has more stuff.

Best to call the 1-800-SAMSUNG # shown in the SAMSUNG PAY app. I just did mine this morning was as able to provide my IMEI #, and pay the $99 ($107.17 after tax / shipping charges) to get the full bundle ordered. Now the wait!!

Just wait. If it's accepted it'll come, eventually. My gift from the Note 7 took like 3 weeks or something.
Also - you'll prob use the VR twice and it'll collect dust lol

If you din't want the $99 bundle, then for sure call the 1-800-SAMSUNG # and explain to them what is going on and for them to correct what's needed so you can make sure you get your free VR headset at the very least. Sooner than later. With how fast these bundles sold, I'm afraid they won't have enough free headsets for those that pre-ordered.
I pre-ordered from Best Buy on 3/31. When I picked up the S8 on 4/21 the receipt from Best Buy showed the date as 4/21. I uploaded that receipt when I registered for the free gift. Anyone know if Samsung will know that the phone was pre-ordered and not simply bought on 4/21?
Has anyone submitted a receipt similar to my situation and had their registration for the free gift approved? Thank you!

You can likely print out your phone upgrade agreement from your carrier, that should show when your account was updated the day your pre order was placed. How that helps.

I pre-ordered from Best Buy and got the same message from Samsung when I uploaded the receipt they gave me with the phone. Luckily I pre-ordered online so I went to bestbuy.com, logged into my account, and clicked "Order Status" at the top of the screen. Then I clicked the order number for the purchase of my S8 and that took me to a page showing the order details, including the date that I pre-ordered. I clicked the print button on that page and it printed a full receipt with the order date and pickup date. I just uploaded that receipt so hopefully that will take care of it.
For anyone who is interested, the Order Details screen URL was www-ssl.bestbuy.com/profile/orders/order-details?orderId=<your order ID>
I've been waiting a while for a worthwhile promotion/phone to replace my Note 4, and I noticed the promotion that started yesterday offering BOGO for the S8/S8+/Note 8. I'm on a plan with two lines that's ridiculously cheap at $50/mo and the second person really does not have a need for such an extravagant phone so I was wondering if I could get the second phone and simply sell it? There's some mumbo jumbo about activating both phones on your account but I can't imagine t-mobile cares that the phone is actually registered to the persons individual account versus another one.
My main concerns are ensuring I receive the full reimbursement after I drop the $800 on the phone, and the stipulation requiring a line be added. Tmobile rep in india says I can work around that by removing and adding a line, but who knows, billing usually gets screwed up for the firs month or two. Seems like I could get a great deal if I work it this way.
Thoughts?

It was the case for the Samsung.com promotion in June for the BOGO...I activated only my phone on the network and it worked just fine. Good luck, call and ask how many lines need to be activated.

They said only one line needs to be added, but that can be worked around by removing and adding a line (stupid method, they should have another way)
but they mentioned nothing about how many lines need to be activated, i highly doubt they care if the second phone is activated because the way i see it some people sell their phones after 6 months anyways
still interested in hearing if anyone else has done this before

As long as the one line is active, then I don't see why you couldn't sell the second phone.
Just noticed the FAQ says you arent eligible if you cancel a line after september 1st, so this essentially hurts relations with existing customers like me. not happy about it, anyone know if this is actually the case because the tmobile rep said i could work around it but it doesnt sound like it
