Hadn't planned on dumping my Turbo yet, but the free Gear S2 was too good to pass up.
My confirmation says it will be shipped on or before 3/11.
I will go vr. I have a zenwatch I love.
I'll be going with the S2
S2 for me definitely worth more plus if I decided I could sell it make some money and still buy a vr

Yeah I did the same. Do we think these will ship before the release date of the 11th? We pre-ordered so shouldnt we have it before everyone else?
apparently you verizon preorderers are lucky and they're shipping out tomorrow. guy on reddit posted this and he got a tracking number and everything for an edge.
Well I got charged today for 2 s7s so maybe

What i dont get is verzion told me i could not get the S2 because i had unlimited data. Only thing is it gives me the option to select a s2 on the Samsung promo page. If i pick it will they sent it even if i have unlimited. Is it even useful without a data plan. Should i just get the vr. Help

the watches are useful without a plan.. i use a moto 360 2nd Gen daily and i love it. no need for a plan for it. the gear vr seems cool tho, but it's only 100 bucks, so if anything, get the watch if you're interested in smart watches. tizen isn't so bad. I had the gear 2 before this and it was a sweet watch

I ordered my s7 from verizon online. How do I get a copy of the receipt and imie to fill in to order my free vr headset?8
Checked my order status and it says shipped, so I should have it by Wednesday the latest. If the S2 is free, I'll be ordering that and selling it.
I walked into best buy preordered and walked out with my new platinum gold s7 and gear vr. Only cost my $52.08! Bill went up $3. Get to ditch my Verizon branded z3v.

Mine says "shipped" (3/7) now also
I got two coming tomorrow according to ups, one I'll get a gear s2 for wifey, and vr for me, I use. 360 2nd gen 46mm daily, couldn't replace it with a gear watch again.
I'll bet most aren't going to get a S2, there's only 35,000 available. Far less than the VR
Got my s7 today and registered for the Gear S2. We'll see what I get. So far loving the S7
Got my phone by UPS this morning, registered to get a Gear S2 this evening.
Ordered the S2, because I've wanted a watch. Got an "almost done" email. I'm not sure why, resubmitted via the link they gave me in the email. Now I'm registered for the VR. I have no interest in it. Used the contact us option and haven't heard back from them.
Planning on getting the S2. I currently have a Bluetooth S2. I chatted with the Verizon rep and they told me the free S2 was a cellular version and required a contract for the $5 a month data plan. can anyone confirm this?
Got mine about 3PM today. Went through setup quickly and then filled out the VZW promo on Samsung.com.
Got my email.
"Thanks, we’ve received your Offer claim for the Verizon Offer for your free
Samsung Gear S2!
Once we've approved your Offer Claim Form, we’ll send you a confirmation email*. "
So I will wait and see what shows up.

So my wife and I both received email approval for the Gear VR now. No more "pending fulfillment".
Ship dates..... Wife's APRIL 18TH!! MINE MAY 8TH!!
I guess 4 to 6 weeks is out the window, even if you pre-ordered your phones the first couple days like we did. Bummer. But hey... At least they're Comin'!
I guess they are going to say it's 4 to 6 weeks from approval date lol.

Mine says expected ship date April 1st.
Mine also says April 1st, but I picked the Gear S2.
I haven't gotten an email yet, but I checked my submission status, and it says approved, preparing for shipment. I went with the watch. Not keeping it, figured around $300 extra would be nice I used my trade-in money for the VR.
Yeah April 18
Yeah I got my email last night saying mine would ship on April 18th... but then to claim my 6 free games I need to set up my Oculus account my midnight on April 20th. So how is that even possible?? Can I set up the Oculus account early without the VR unit so that I can claim my free stuff?
Just got an email stating I am ineligible for the Gear S2 because my receipt denotes an in-store or online purchase. Anyone else get this?

Didn't you HAVE to purchase the phone online to get the Gear S2?

Yes, the promotion was online or over the phone only.

I did notice at the bottom of the disclaimer about signing up for the game pack it says something. Here is a copy:
"Please make sure to create an Oculus account and download your
6 games before 11:59:59pm PT on 4/20/16 when the download expires,
or within 30 days of receiving your Eligible Product, whichever is later."
So at the end you see it says, at least in my email copy, on "4/20/16 when the download expires, or within 30 days of receiving your eligible product, whichever is later." Which I would take to assume that we're covered if we receive the Gear VR after the 20th, as long as we activate the free games within 30 days of receiving it.

No idea how I missed that. I feel dumb. Yeah mine says the same thing.
Well, this almost sent me over the edge. Trying to call the fulfillment company now to see if this can be straightened out. I ordered it online at full price from a consumer account, not a business one. Weird.
"Congratulations! Your submission has been approved; however because the
purchase receipt you uploaded denotes an in-store and/or online business
purchase, you are only eligible to receive the Samsung Gear VR with 6-game
bundle. We will ship your Samsung Gear VR to the mailing address you

April 1, 2016."
If you received the email about being ineligible for the Gear s2, you should still be good. Just got off the phone with customer support (50 minute wait) and they said a mass e-mail erroneously went out stating users were getting the opposite of what they selected. He verified my order was for the Gear S2. I would call just to be safe, but you should be good. He said I was his 35th case for the same issue.

Same here
I'll have to call customer support in the morning. Their open hours didn't mesh well with Hawaiian time.
You have to call prize logic at (888) 795-6442. They manage the promotion.
FYI, when I called, they guessed what it was about. The emails about getting a VR instead of S2 were errors. I was told that my S2 was being prepped for shipment April 1st.
I checked the status of mine at the link in Samsung's email and put in my email address. I submitted my first claim for my first new line on the 16th. I'm approved but don't have a ship date. I submitted my second claim for my second line very early this morning and that's approved also, and no ship date. My second claim was for the $100 towards Samsung products on their website they are offering at this point because they aren't going to be able to ship the VRs until the summer of this year for people registering late. I think it's crappy of them to offer $100 instead of $150 which was the value of the bundle, but I could use a wireless charger and/or a quick charge battery pack.

Yes; I got a similar email stating I was ineligible for the Gear S2 because my recipt was for a Store purchased S7.
I immediately responded back vi the web page & told them that was incorrect & that the receipt was printed from Verizon on-line for an on-line purchase.
Another response was received stating that they had escalated my complaint. I am now waiting for more response from them.
I'm thinking that this has happened to a lot of people & hope they take care of it quickly.

AT&T has a promo running where you can pre-order a Gear S3 for $49 when purchased with a Samsung phone. I went from Note7 to S7 Edge on October 16th. I had already pre-ordered the Gear S3 at $249 but thought what the hell, why not call AT&T to see if they'd throw me a bone. The CSR asked me for my AT&T store receipt number from the exchange and got a supervisors approval to give me the $49 price. They had me cancel my online pre-order and put notes in my account for me to go in to a store today and get a new pre-order processed at $49. I did and they did and its supposed to ship November 18th.
The whole Note7 launch and cancel has been a debacle but I've been handsomely rewarded. I got a 256GB SD card with my first Note7, a Gear VR with the second, and now a Gear S3 for $49. That's on top of almost $100 in Samsung Pay first use credits for initializing it on 3 different phones. I also got my $100 credit for sticking with Samsung last week on my AT&T bill.
I'd imagine the Gear S3 thing is a YMMV and I'd suggest charm and gaining sympathy for what, as a Note7 owner, you've been through rather than brute force. Good luck.
Great deal! I got the Gear S2 on special when I got the Note 7. I doubt they'd upgrade me from S2 to the S3.

How the heck did you get all this deals? I can't even can get $25 for first exchange. When I try to get my $25 and I call AT&T what they did is transfer me form department to departament and at the end of the day after spending over 2 hours I get no where. Do I call wrong phone numbers?
One click away!

The first one, a Gear Fit or 256GB SD card, everyone who pre-ordered a Note7 should have gotten (I chose the SD card). The second one, "buy a Samsung phone get a SD card or Gear VR," was meant for the S7's because Note7's weren't being sold to new customers until the 1.5M exchanges were processed. I exchanged my first Note7 for my second on day one of the exchange program and just sent the exchange receipt as proof of purchase for the promo. They accepted it but I heard from those filing later they stopped. All the Samsung Pay stuff anyone can get because Samsung doesn't really check whether the account is new or the phone is. So three new phones, three sets of Samsung Pay offers. The Gear S3 was just luck of the draw. I got a really nice CSR and she felt sorry for me having to go through three phones to end up with one I wouldn't have chosen (S7 Edge). So short answer is luck and timing.
P.S. - I got my first Note7 for $290 outright because AT&T f-d up a cross-line Next upgrade and couldn't figure out how to fix it. They told me to pay off my balance on my Next-returned and in their hands Note5 ($290) and just keep the Note7 and they cancelled its installment plan. As part of trying to fix the upgrade they bungled they inadvertently gave me two monthly installment credits I owed totaling about $85. Then I got a refund of about $90 to my account when I exchanged for a S7 Edge because it was cheaper. Then Samsung gave me $100 via AT&T for staying in the family. So net net I got a S7 Edge outright for $15 on top of all the free and discounted "stuff." All in all I did OK.
When I preordered by Samsung S8, I was told by ATT salesperson that I could get the VR for free and for $99, I could get 256G SD and Headphones. He also said that I had to wait for my phone to come in the mail before I could submit the request. So I received my phone on the 21st and tried to purchase the headphones and SD cards on the 21st. Here is what I got from Samsung Customer Support:
"The premium "Fully Immersive" bundle that included the AKG headphones and MicroSD card for an extra $99, has SOLD OUT and is no longer available for selection in the promo site. Due to high interest, we have sold out of the $99 fully immersive VR experience. "
How could they be sold out within hours of the first day?!?! Is this a classic bait switch? This was one of the primary reasons I pre-order the S8. This seems very wrong to me.
You were misinformed. The $99 'Fully Immersive' bundle was available for those that did the pre-order between 3/30 - 4/20. Heck the 'free' items (VR + controller) was also only supposed to be available to those that pre-ordered it. Not those that purchased it on day it came out. Very sorry.
BTW, there are at least 5 other threads covering this very same thing. I mistakenly started one of my own.
Edit: Disregard my ramblings - you DID preorder. I received my phone on the 19th, and that same day I did the order of the $99 bundle. I didn't get to pay anything until the 21st however. Just haven't received it or tracking info yet. I read on another thread that someone spoke with Samsung and that while we're going to be getting the items, they've run out and no ETA on when they'll be shipping out to us that were able to pay. Either way, sucks.
