Same here, but if I recall they said it could take a couple of weeks before they got back to us. Yeah here it is:
"Please be on the lookout for a confirmation email letting you know the approval status of your submission within the next 5 business days."
So for me, that would be by Wednesday, 6/3.

I received submission confirmation emails minutes after submission of each promo.

I dont think there is any way of checking status. If you dont get it by given time frame, you have to email them.

Once they approve it, they will send you an email and it should have a link to check the status. You'll use the id number they gave us in the first email(s).

Go to the same links you signed up at and there is a check status button. Must have your confirmation number and zip code.

I just submitted mine last night, so I am not expecting to hear anything in the next week or so. I know it says you can check the status on-line, but I'll give it a week before checking.

Getting the Nexus 6P outside US?

I have been trying for about a week now to get the 6P but the play store wont allow different credit card addresses / different billing address, so I can't get it from there, Huwawei's website has a really long wait time :/, ebay/amazon is super overpriced, is there any other website that does not use the verification that google uses and the price isnt inflated through the roof? I really need a new phone and the Nexus 6P is the best thing ive seen in a while!
Help would be much much appreciated.

Yeah try locally.

Yeah, we don't get nexus devices here and haven't for years, it's terrible . Anything else maybe =/ ?

I had no choice but buy from eBay and pay some import taxes. A little bit too expensive, but totally worth it. Greetings from Mexico.

You can try UsGoBuy.com forwarding service. They will give you a valid US address in Oregon, which is a sales tax free state.
Then use that address as a billing address in your Google wallet. You can add any international credit card there as long as you have a valid US address.
Use a VPN service from US and use incognito tab in chrome, so that Google thinks that you are really inside of the US. Order you phone, and wait until the forwarder sends it to you.
If it doesn't work, try setting up a new Google account and make sure that you use vpn and incognito tab.
I personally completed all the above steps successfully, and now I am waiting to get the amount to actually buy the device.

Honestly, it was too much work or maybe I'm just too lazy, it was cumbersome. It came out at around 597 $ (64 GB Aluminum) because of tax, and it would not accept my payment, I went on ebay and found a good seller who is selling it unopened and brand new at 620$, I didn't mind the extra 23 $, and finished the order in a few seconds, seriously, I hope Google gets it **** together with this payment thing, here's the link for anyone interested :

If you get high risk its because your account it new. Contact the Google Store support, tell them you got the error and they can release you from the high risk tag.
I have no idea what they ask for, but I some some people did it and it worked.

Also keep in mind that ordering from the US will get you the H1511 model which has bands targeted for North American carriers. Before the 6P was available locally in my country I was also thinking the same thing but found out that the H1511 model doesn't have the LTE bands my carrier uses. You can't buy the international H1512 model from the US Google Play Store and Huawei store unfortunately.

I bought it from mercadolibre
I bought it from mercadolibre from mexico, it cost about 2k more than google store, but at least I have it, it's a really cool phone and everythign is working as expected.

Promo site is live!

I just applied for my promotional VR headset

Yep, submitted both of mine an hour ago. Its kind of a pain to fill out. You will also need an attachment receipt of your purchase that has the exact name of the person's Samsung account.

Same. I received two confirmation purchased emails from T-Mobile, both under my name. I submitted mine but then by mistake submitted my wifes under her name but the pdf has my name listed because I purchased it since I am the primary on the account. So, yeah...IDK. They might reject it, at which point I hope there is a way to submit an appeal.

Just to add, there is no mention on the terms that you can't submit more than one claim. One claim for every valid device purchased is what I understood.

I'm pretty sure you can put your email address in again and submit a new receipt

Gear S2 promo?

Is the S2 a Bluetooth only or 3g model? Will it have the speaker or not?

No its not the 3g. Spoke with a sales rep and was told it's the Bluetooth one

It's the $300 grey model only.

Was anyone successful in redeeming the gear S2 promotion? I went through the process, but got an e-mail saying I wasn't eligible with my location code...

Does this mean the Verizon one is 3g? I can't tell from the order but will know soon enough I suppose. Yes, I did have to get the data plan for it but with the discount I am receiving along with instantly selling this thing, I am still saving money from at&t and will pocket whatever cash I get for the watch.

Yes, I'm located in the US. When I initially provided the information, I received an e-mail stating my Gear S2 order was in process. Then I got an e-mail stating I was ineligible, and included a link for me to try again. After filling out that page's information, I was taken to a page that said my promotion redemption was successful for the Gear VR. I called Samsung support and the person I spoke with told me that the order shows a Gear S2 will be mailed to me, and that she wasn't sure why the site showed a Gear VR instead. I guess I'll have to wait and see...

You won't be making any money. The Early Termination Fee is $350 and you have to pay $40 to activate. So you'll actually be losing money.

IMEI not valid for B&O headphones

I purchased my LG V20 through Sprint on 24 Oct, 2016. When attempting to sign up for the free B&O headphones offer my MEID isn't being accepted. I get the error IMEI/MEID Number: The serial number provided is not valid for this promotion. I've tried MEID Hex, DEC and HEX with the extra digit from the phone's menu. Nothing works.
I've emailed LG @ [email protected] and will call 1-888-655-4246 later today. I've also tried registering the device.
EDIT: Called them and they confirmed that Sprint users must wait till the 28th to register.

I just spoke to lg. they told me to try after the 28th of october. they were having some issues with the system.

I think their system is down at the moment probably from so many people trying to register for the new headphones. I just tried and the page doesn't even load for me.
Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Wow. That sucks. I got into system last night about 5 minutes after link went active. It accepted my verizon v20 mei just fine then. Hope they get this fixed for you!

Try putting the imei number in without the dashes, I just got through it a minute ago.

Same scenario for me. I removed the dashes and it worked.

So I submitted it and it said i would hear back in a few days. Is that everyone is getting?

just did mine about 15 min ago and no issues

Did mine this morning, no issues, but, what color will they be sending out? I really don;t want some girly gold color!
