I was just looking for that. I read about it in one of the threads last week, now I can't find it. From what I remember once you get your phone you must register it with Samsung then apply for the promo.

You register with samsung, then get it through the Shop Samsung app on your phone.

You have until midnight on September 13th 2018 to register for promo from Samsung. The 23rd of August was the last day to preorder the phone.

I'm sure you can. I uploaded the preorder receipt I got from T-Mobile which was dated the twenty-third, as proof of purchase. I believe it already had the IMEI number of the phone it. My claim is still under review since I just did this today.

I have my T-Mobile receipt. But where did you see the IMEI? I see a 12-digit SKU on my contract that was emailed me but I cannot find an IMEI.

You don't have an IMEI yet. You don't get an IMEI until you have the phone.

Got mine approved. Too bad it ships weeks from now

To get the bonus, it is usually a 2 step process.
First you need to pre-register / pre-order the phone between Aug 9-23.
Second you buy the phone and must complete the bonus submission by late September. You complete the submission by going into your Samsung account Offers section and enter the date of purchase, IMEI, etc. Then Samsung will send you the bonus gift.
If you don’t pre-register and just buy the phone and submit the information through the website and not through your Offers section, there is a slim chance you will get the bonus. That’s how it worked for the previous Note bonuses.

How did you start? I cannot find the promo in the shop Samsung app.

I have pre-order my Note 9 on 21-Aug and got on 28-Aug. and pre-ordered phones to be activated before 31st Aug as per Samsung. After activation on My Galaxy app, the pre-order Gift -Gear Sport watch listed in next 2 days...
Here in india its price for retails is 23000 /- so I have Paid Rs. 5000 /- with Gift coupon code.
The sites tells that it will delivered in 10 - 12 days.

I didn't have to write or show proof of purchase, it asked where I got the phone and it did the rest(shop Samsung app) headphones shipped two week earlier then it was suppose to

So T-Mobile is giving 32gb away for free this weekend.

If you are thinking about buying an S6 T-Mobile is giving the 64gb version for the same price as the 32, or you can stay with the 32 and take a credit for the difference. And if you bought it on May 9th or after you can go switch your 32 for a 64 for free.
http://www.phonedog.com/2015/05/21/...-s6-buyers-may-take-part-gs6-memory-promo-too
EDIT I bought my 32 on May 5th, four days too late. I called 611 and tried to get them to let me get the 64 but they wouldn't budge.
thanks!
Just called 611, I qualify, thanks for the tip!
Buyer Remorse is 20 days, so you have until the 25th to return your phone, so just send it back and get a new one this week end?

Is 20 days for online purchases? In store purchases as far as I know is and always has been 14 days. And I just looked at my receipt and it too says 14 days.
What if I got 64gb? Will they give me a refund? Got it in th 20th only with $200 down (EIP)
http://www.t-mobile.com/Templates/Popup.aspx?PAsset=Ftr_Ftr_ReturnPolicy&print=true 14 days in store and 20 days if bought on the phone or online AND for upgrades, hope you fall in one of these categories

I called the Tmo CS and they said its gonna start tomorrow, i asked them about the buyers remorse coz i bought the phone before the 23rd but they told me to call where I brought it from.
Or what are the right questions to ask them? Looks like some of the reps aren't aware of the promo yet because they have to check online. They asked me where I saw the promo on what site. I told them xdadev lol

I told them I saw it on their website when I went to pay my bill. I just said I purchased my phone on the 20th and I saw the promotion online. I said if I had known about that I would have waited a few more days, and I was wondering if there was anything they could do for me. She put me on hold to talk to someone then came back and credited it.

I called customer service and they said it is a gray area, and within the discretion of the store, to charge that restocking fee. They were unwilling to do anything further. So, this did not work for me.

Call customer service from your phone with 611 and tell them your story. Chances are they will put a note on your account to give you a 50 dollar credit if the store charges you. If that does happen all you have to do is call them again and your next bill will be credited.
EDIT
Just saw your reply, I'm sure a 50 dollar credit is also at the cs reps discretion.
I was told going from 32 to 64 will have the 50$ restock. Even with the sale this weekend. And is tmo giving away the 32gb free? Would I then just not have to pay the monthly fee for it? Mine is defective anyway so I have to exchange. If the 32 is free and no monthly fee on top of the 50$ line fee then I'll take it free.
I purchased a 64 s6 and 64 edge on the 17th, customer service gave me a $160 credit to my bill. Also confirmed buyers remorse was for 14 days from the 23rd. This post saved me a bunch of money and I thank you!

But you didn't get 50%+ off and unlocked?
---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------
Also, same here.
Preordered black Unlocked N8 Sep1st and nothing. I just got the money back in my account Samsung withdrew Sep1st so idk what the heck that means. Only reason I did direct Samsung order was for the N7 owner promo. Samsung should have prioritized their direct orders instead of carriers. Whatever if I get my N8 In October I'm going to complain. There is absolutely no reason it should take 1 whole month for preorders to be delivered. Either they prepare for product release or they don't. Come on. Not even a status notification.
I pre order Unlocked version on 8/29 with note 7 promo and ship date said week of sept. 25. Only the Wireless Charger was shipped today. The rest still in pre order.
Ordered T-Mobile version from samsung website on 8/26 received on 9/7.

Ordered unlocked last week with the Note 7 promo, also got a 10/1 ship estimate. My bet is they give a worst case, but the devices will go out before then. Probably not by much, but hopefully we'll all have them by the last week of September.

How is it even possible to pre-order something and not get it at release date? It makes no sense to me and should not be allowed. They should have had it sell out to increase demand rather having people wait almost a month after the phone was released and it is still considered a pre-order. Grinds my gears for those unfortunate ppl who are going through this...

I placed my order on 9/4, unlocked, Note 7 Promo, estimated delivery first week of October. I really hope they could deliver before 9/20.
I ordered mine on the first day of pre order from samsung direct and received mine on wednesday last week.

this is ****ing crap. I ordered 8/29 black sprint model so I don't get stuck waiting like all those who ordered carrier unlocked, and here I sit with my order still in ****ing preorder. wtf is the point? I paid in full, no note 7 deal (couldn't find a receipt will take donations) black sprint model and 0 ****ing progress. not confirmed, not shipped, pre auth charge has disappeared, called Samsung twice and all the can tell me is the date on the website. well 3 days left and it hasn't been confirmed. you can bet your ass Sammy will hear from me the second it's technically "late"

I don't think you understood the question? With an exchange your gift should not be affected. If you started a new order process no free gift will be available. What option did you take?

Here's what I learned the hard way: Samsung does not do exchanges. It does returns and re-orders. I have just had to do this and probably will not get the incentive items that I had to return with the first phone (pre-ordered 8/24). In addition, it was their web page that had problems and made re-orders impossible. And good luck talking to their sales department, which made promises and assurances that were not true. Dealing with them has been a nightmare and I will NEVER AGAIN order directly from Samsung. It's beyond me how they can make the electronics they do and not be able to make a web page that works. They told me over and over they were aware of the web problems and were working on it. But of course by the time it got resolved, incentives were over. Just a word to the wise so you know what to expect.

That's a very clever tactic Samsung used. From a profitable point of view. This was my first direct order from Samsung, think next time I'd stick with my own provider. Least returns and replacement is easier. Not that I've sent anything back to Samsung , wife and I ordered a Note 8 each.

Call customer support ASAP and request promotional item(s). Samsung has extended their promotion to October 15th, based on a friend of mine who showed me his order placed AFTER September 24th and had spoken to customer support. I saw the shipment tracking info, so I'd try again.

Says up to 8 weeks for the bogo promo, but I also had to return a device and resumitted a third claim in case the first one got cancelled or anything due to the exchange, I checked yesterday on Sammy website and it showed my first two were about to be shipped and the third newest claim got denied saying it was out of the date or something but I know it wasnt.

LG V40 Pre Order Thread!

Howdy All,
It's time to get the hype train rolling! I thought that I would make a pre-order threat in order to help others track our pre-orders and shipping dates.
The official LG V40 release date is Thursday, October 18. As I understand it TMO will be offering the pre-order on this Friday 10/12/2018.
So first up in the US: The LG V40 Thinq is now available for pre-order from B & H Photo. :highfive: UPDATE - The price has dropped to $749 on B&H website.
Link: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1436639-REG/lg_lmv405qa7_ausabk_v40_thinq_64gb_smartphone.html
Details: LG V40 ThinQ 64GB Smartphone (Unlocked, Aurora Black) MFR # LMV405QA7.AUSABK
I was able to place a pre-order for this phone today. I'm taking this route over pre-ordering from T Mobile because I want root ASAP and missed having root when I received the TMO LG V30. That along with the fact that I will get a square trade warranty for the phone makes it a better option. The wallet hurts for a bit but in the long run I'll be happier and less likely to give my phone to my daughter .
I'll be watching as TMO and others officially allow for pre-orders and I'll post the details here for an easy one-stop-shop for pre-orders.
*UPDATE 10/12/2018 - TMO website has LG V40 listed as IN STOCK! Details here: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone/lg-v40-thinq
Also, the preorder website is now up. Great preorder goodies! https://lg-promotions.com/us/en/pages/lgv40preorder/home
Just a heads-up that T Mobile website has the LG V40 and is showing IN STOCK as of 2pm EST. I went for unlocked but TMO folks will bet the phone first!

I'm debating getting one due to that. Sine it's not being sold in Canada this makes it much more appealing because in order to import it i would be required to pay duty on it.

New deal on N9 - Feb. 2019

Should I go for it?, only a few hours to decide:
$1050 for the 512gb and you get the tablet? That's a good deal in my eyes. If I didn't already have the N9, I would be all over this.

https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...th-a-free-galaxy-tab-a-10-5-for-1050-170-off/
now, if I may suggest, am kinda weary about hidden traps - after you open that Amazon page click on ( New (1) from $1,049.99 & FREE shipping. Details ) line below and that opens another page where you can specify(check boxes) the phone you're buying to be new. I saved that page 'just' in case if they ship another refurb.
Not worth it imo. I paid $935 for my 512 gb with headphones pre-ordered. You can get a 128 gb on eBay for $649 or so brand new in box. $400 is not worth the 512 gb to me

I'd be very happy if it goes for $190 - $200 in orig. pckge.
I think I changed my mind for a galaxy watch....
Well, the Feb. '19 deal came and went...,literally - I just repacked it for a return back to Amazon. So, I'm updating the thread: the N9 phone I've purchased, just as I suspected, wasn't new. By checking the IMEI and registration @ Samsung I found out that it was assembled in Aug. '18 and the warranty was to expire in Oct. '19., that means it had at least one owner. The IMEI SV was at 04 which wasn't that bad and the phone was in really good, clean condition but I decided to send it back. I like the N9, great phone but they shouldn't wrongly advertise their stuff on Amazon. That's fine, am looking forward into 2019, the market is getting so saturated with all those 'battleships' of smartphones that the deals will only get better.

No, I didn't. But I played with the phone for a few hours, downloaded some apps and really had a hard time to put it back into the box for a return. Nice phone, no doubts about it, but I figured I didn't actually buy this phone, the deal was about buying the new Tab A 10.5", I don't have any use for it right now, for a full price of $250 and additionally they were offering me a secondhand Note 9 for a discounted price of $800, plus tax, of course. Nice try. I'll wait for some good deals around 'black Friday', or sooner, on 2019 phones.

I had the phone on hand when they delivered it, so I did the usual "about phone" lookup, the Knox, kernel etc.. and all that was fine, except the IMEI SV number at 04 was too high for a brand new phone - the software underwent some changes or modifications after it left the factory, the ideal number is 01. Then I went on the Samsung official website to "register a product" entered IMEI# and it told me when the warranty expires.

gotcha, the one i bought from ebay was really sketchy i think phone was legit but box was fake, accessories were fake and missing some, no books and phone was in a bag with no plastic. I returned and got another one for $649 hope it is a legit one! We shall see this week!
Edit: Samsung also has $300 off so plus my unidays discount and a few thousand Samsung points and got another for $657 with tax! And $200/40k reward points! Win win! I will probably sell one if you would like one let me know once you get your return taken care of
