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

Okay I was ordering the nexus 4 and it kept giving me errors over and over again and it never once said it completed the purchase but I have this in my google wallet. Does that mean I got it? I never got a confirmation email either.
(Look at the picture below)
If it showed up in your Google Wallet, then you got it.
I ended up with the same thing, Took about 20 mins for the email to show up. From what I have heard/read it seems like if you get an error on the final step of the wallet process (after selecting payment method and address) they seem to be processing the order.
Yeah, I got a "Problem processing order" error on the final page when ordering (after selecting payment method and delivery address). It showed up in my Wallet account, and I got a confirmation email. Just to make sure, I rang Google Support and the guy I spoke to said from their end, everything had gone through fine.
Just waiting for payment to be taken, which the confirmation email said would happen when it was dispatched. Fingers crossed they get shipped out soon!

I'm in the same situation,
Website kept failing constantly till it changed to coming soon.....
Then later I received 2 (even though I only wanted 1) "thanks for your order" emails.
Few minutes after those, I got 1 "your order has been cancelled"
My Google wallet shows 2 phones, one cancelled, one pending.
None of my orders went through due to website failure, so I too am wondering if I got one.

Kept having errors too. Eventually I got past the payment screen and got to a confirmation screen. Had nothing show up in Wallet until about 2hrs later then had 2 orders show up and got 2 confirmation emails. Wont let me cancel one of them now either.
Erm..... phone Google and ask them? They are the ONLY ones who will be able to tell you for sure.
If you are happy with people speculating, then I would say that yes you got one.

So, I just got a nice email from HTC telling me that "because I'm an early HTC enthusiast" I get a free HTC case and free shipping when preordering and entering the code provided in the email. Problem is, I already preordered the phone along with the flip case. Has anyone else gotten this email? Also, what would be the chances that HTC refunds me the case and shipping costs if I call them? I already called them once as my order required me to do so.
Thanks
You should always try. And if they adamantly won't let you, I suppose someone lurking the forums might love you forever for 'giving' them a free case and free shipping.
Call and say you forgot about the code and please apply it now.

who\what number to call ?
I got the same offer emailed to me 1 minute after I pre-ordered. Let me know what you find out. I'm wondering if I need to call them to get my free shipping and case or if they'll just figure it out, because the offer email was clearly generated by the pre-order.
The code works with orders from HTC which letstalk is handling. So if you pre-ordered from your carrier than no go for the promo.

I just called the number that was on the confirmation email. After a 10 minute hold I was told that they have had a lot of calls for this issue and are trying to figure out how to get the case in without cancelling as the hold for the full amount is already on the card. They are manually noting down orders and once Corporate tells them how to add to order they will modify and you will get an email confirming the change in order.

Well, after being on hold for 25 minutes, I was told I need to cancel my order and place a new one using the coupon code. I decided not to as I don't want to risk losing my preorder that has already gone through.

Yeah, same. I probably wouldn't use the case anyways. I like my phones naked. I might call them after I've received the phone if the case doesn't show up with it.
I emailed HTC about the fact that I had already placed my order before HTC sent out the promotion for the free case and got a response that basically said HTC Doesn't make the cases and I should contact my carrier... *sigh*
Dear
Thanks for contacting HTC Technical Support Center!
I am glad to know you are closer to get your HTC One! Getting the case would be a great way of taking care of your device. I will be more than happy to help you with this matter.
HTC does not manufacture or sell any aftermarket components, accessories, or batteries for our devices. They are manufactured and distributed by third party companies for use with HTC devices. They are sold either by the carrier that has the specific device or from a third party official reseller of HTC branded products and accessories.
My advise right now is to contact your carrier about this great promotion, they will let you know if it is possible (or not) to apply the coupon to the pre-order you made earlier today.
I look forward to providing you with any additional assistance if required.
Thanks for your continuous support of our products and services, Chris. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us through http://www.htc.com/us/support/email-support or call us at +1-866-449-8358 from 8 am to 1am, 7 days a week.
Thank you for being a member of our HTC community and I wish you a good day!

I have an extra code from HTC if someone needs it... PM me, first come, first served!
Edit: GONE
If anyone else has an extra free case coupon code they don't need I would love to have it
Thanks!
I open my email and it says "All promo codes have been claimed." HTC fails again.
If anybody wants a coupon code to pre-order via shopamerica.htc.com and will use it, please send me a PM. I won't be buying from the HTC store, so I have no need for mine.
EDIT: Taken!
Called back to apply the code. Rep said they couldn't but offered to waive the overnight shipping charge. Works for me. Have a code unused if someone wants it, PM me.

Had to cancel and re order to get the case so ended up changing from 64 to 32 GB.
Also, after placing your order make sure you click on check the order status link as soon as the confirmation email comes in. Mine showed that I had to call in for the order to proceed and this only showed after clicking on the link. Email did not mention nor a follow up email was sent to indicate customer contact is needed to proceed.
Anyone called in to get the standard shipping fee waved? My checkout won't wave the feed but gave me the free case.

I did. I had selected 2 day shipping because my code didn't supply free shipping. After 45 minutes on hold I confirmed my order and mentioned that the code didn't work for shipping. Ended up getting overnight shipping for free.

My shopping cart page shows charges for the case and the shipping? Is that how it looked to you and then when you actually checked-out the case turned out to be free, or should I already be seeing the charges removed at this point?
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone else pre-ordered from the Samsung Experience Store in the UK to have the phone delivered. (The one the Samsung UK site directs you to.)
When I ordered this phone, I was told it would be with me by the Friday. (Today) In fact I was told it could be here before but that it was guaranteed for Friday. I received an emailed invoice, then since then I have had no contact, no tracking details, no notification of delays etc… I tried phoning the store today, and a disinterested young man took my name and number saying he would check and let me know. That was now almost 8 hours ago. Subsequent attempts to call again have left me at a voicemail machine. So about 3 hours ago I sent an email. Also no reply.
Did anyone get there's, did I make a mistake ordering from them or am I just unlucky.
Any feedback would be good, as it seems I wont get any from them.
Thanks

If you selected T-mobile as the place the phone was purchased then you should get the netflix code at some point. The site is a little different after selecting t-mobile. Above wher you input your email address will then include an image of the netflix logo and at the bottom part of the page, under "Here's how it works" includes a short explanation that you'll get the code in a follow up email. "You will receive an additional email with your Netflix code with instructions on how to redeem."
@Alarand Good to see you here bud!
i'm guessing they dont send the code until they verify your purchase. but i ran into the same thing they didnt ask anything about netflix:
How do I get my free Samsung Gear VR, 6-game bundle from Oculus and my year of Netflix after getting the new Samsung phone?
From February 23, 2016 through March 18, 2016, pre-order, purchase or lease a Samsung Galaxy S7 / Galaxy S7 edge from a participating retailer.
Once you receive your phone (any time after February 23, 2016), visit www.T-Mobile.com/SamsungOffer and click on the appropriate link to submit the Offer Claim Form, including valid proof of pre-order or purchase receipt on Samsung’s redemption site. You must complete your claim form with Samsung by March 31, 2016.
You will receive a confirmation email once your submission has been approved.
You will receive a second email with your Netflix code. Once you receive your code, you can claim your free year of Netflix by visiting www.netflix.com/specialoffers by April 30, 2016. Netflix codes are limited.
Your Gear VR will be shipped to you within 4-6 weeks after validation.
After you receive your Gear VR, to get your Oculus 6-game bundle, set up an account at id.oculus.com/US/en-US/login/register. The 6 games will appear automatically in your account. You must download them by April 20, 2016.
Note that the Samsung website for redemptions, https://promos.samsungpromotions.com/gearvr/en-us/EnterTmobile, will not be available until approximately 10:00 AM ET on March 4, 2016. Prior to March 4, 2016, you’ll be able still visit this site to enter your email address, for a reminder to come back to complete you online submission.

If you pre ordered from T-Mobile, you should have got a big flyer with the phone that tells you how it works. At least i did
T-Mobile was doing a promo on Facebook telling people to order the S7 and what they'd get. Along with over a thousand comments I added mine and asked when I'd see the Netflix code. T-Mobile responded and told me I should see it in 48 hours of submitting but if I don't see it by early next week hit them up about it.

I don't believe this is true. Samsung states it will take approximately 4-6 weeks to review your VR Offer Claim and once approved, they will send you a confirmation email. You should then receive a second email with your Netflix code within 48 hours of receiving your confirmation email.
I think you're right but I'm gonna be the guy that takes T-Mobile at their word and bug the hell out of them for it.

Well it's been 48 hours for a lot of customers who have already submitted their claim and still no Netflix code. Coincidence? Lol. I think that alone tells me that that specific T-Mobile rep you spoke with was wrong. They can be wrong sometimes.. Hell, I could be wrong myself but based on the fact that really no one has received their Netflix code, I'm gonna have to side with Samsung on this one. I do think we need to wait for that confirmation email from them before the Netflix one is sent.
It says specifically in that flyer i spoke of that youd get a accepted email first then the netflix code shortly after. Dunno how everyone's missing the huge flyer that came with the phone

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.

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>
