SamsungPay Promotion instructions? - AT&T Note 7 Questions & Answers

I made my first Samsung Pay purchase, very slick BTW, and am now looking to complete what is required for the $20 Samsung Promotion. I saw a notification but it got deleted before I could read it. Anyone else know what to do? Thanks.

I just made first purchase and got 20 dollar card right away.

i got mine automatically in about an hour, i didn't claim anything.
it shows up as a black rewards visa card.

I called Samsung and they talked me thru it quickly. Basically you have to accept the terms in SamsungPay, more, promotions, Note 7 promotions. Then the Visa card appears

Best Bestbuy experience

Hello!! I thought my BB Note 4 experience is worth sharing. I preordered on 10/17. That day I asked about trade in of an old Droid 4. I told them I wanted to keep unlimited data and would be paying full price. Was told no problem on trade in for $200 gift card. Tonight, I go in to pick up the phone and they told me since I'm not going to get a new contract, I wont get the $200 gift card. I reminded them of who told me. Here is what they did to come through. They took the droid on a trade for $25. After that they discounted the price $175....No gift card, but a mark down. (I did try to get a Verizon price match, no luck.). I also had a 10% off card that came in a USPS address change kit I received recently for BB, for any one item. They took that, too....at full retail, so another $75 off. I wasnt done. I had a $10 rewards coupon. Took that, too. So, I ended up paying $465 and kept my unlimited data. Can't complain here.
I had a very good experience at Best Buy. Traded my Incredible for the $200 and used a data line with an upgrade due, but son already has a jail broke iPhone he wants to keep using.
They activated the N4 on his line and then put my S4 sim in the N4 and reactivated his iPhone. Did the juggling to keep unlimited data.
My experience initially with best buy was insane. I pre-ordered and went to the store only to find out their "beast" system had the wrong price for the verizon note 4 on the edge plan. It's normally 699, but the system had it for 749. Apparently I was the first person in the country to discover this and they call corporate and they had to update the system which didn't take place until 4pm est.
When I finally got my phone it was good. I got a 200 dollar gift card for trading in my old Galaxy s. I also get a 100 dollar line credit for opening a new line. I also took advantage of the double data plans on their family share plans verizon is offering this month.
All in all good experience. Excellent phone.
Just wish I could block app permissions..

Okay experience for me. They price matched Verizon at $699 and gave me a $200 markdown and told me to keep my trade-in because it was easier for him to do it that way when purchasing at full price. Used BB credit card and now have $48 in points as well.
Best Buy DEBACLE with Note 4 Promotion
I too picked up my Verizon variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 yesterday at my local Best Buy here in Naples, Fl. After doing a considerable amount of research regarding the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 promotion (trade in "ANY" working smartphone and you are guaranteed a $200 rebate***. FINE PRINT - Trade-in value must be at least $10 or more) and then the Best Buy promotion (Trade-in "ANY" working smartphone and receive a $200 gift card. NOTE - Best Buy's definition of "ANY" working smartphone is at THEIR discretion). The whole promotion is a MESS!!!!
I was told by the general manager at my local store they would not accept a BRAND NEW product which was a FULLY functioning LG smartphone because it was not one of their acceptable trade-ins. At this point, I grabbed the counter display and read it word for word back to the GM. He stumbled and mumbled and all he could say was the Best Buy display was not correct and I would not be receiving my rebate ($200 gift card). I asked to speak to an executive at the Best Buy corporate HQ and he was hesitant to give me that number. As I was on the phone with the complaint department with HQ, the GM returns and tells me and the salesperson that apparently Best Buy has royally "screwed the pooch" by their incorrect and vague advertisement.
Long story short. I finally ended up receiving my $200 gift card but apparently at the time it was handed to me, a "panic'd" email had circulated to every Best Buy store in the country . So to all of you that pre-ordered a Galaxy Note 4 from Best Buy....DO NOT take NO for an answer if they tell you that you are not eligible to receive the $200 gift card. Be persistant and demand that they make good on their advertisemet (that is unless they have pulled all of the counter top displays that reads "ANY" working smartphone and does not have a value on it)
BB Experience
I also had a good buying experience at BB yesterday. I picked up the note 4 with the $200 trade in. The process was pleasant, and it took about 3-40 minutes.
We were there at 10 am Sharp, and they hadn't logged in our phones yet, so we never got or arrival pickup emails.
That said, picking them up was fine, except it data was almost maxed, and when I logged into my phone, it went nuts on play auto downloading all my apps. We put it on store WiFi right away, so that cured that issue.
The Samsung rep was great, and we also got 2 each of a Samsung canvas tote, travel mugs, flashlight, and a way cool pen with a pull out note4 feature banner!
We love our bb!
Great experience. Got the $200 trade in credit for an old Droid X2 I had. The bestbuy rep also gave me the additional $50 for your trade in even though the promo expired 10/18
I traded a blackberry tour and got the $200. Kept my iPhone 5 and ended up doing the edge plan. Same as I was paying now but I can upgrade every year. Not too bad.
I managed to get a 200$ gift card for trading in my original droid X. I knew that thing was worth keeping. Its been in a drawer for 3 years.

Samsung Pay $30 giftcard Promo

Samsung if offering a $30 GC to Bestbuy, Whole Foods, Reval Cinema, Nike or ebay when you make your first purchase with Samsung Pay. I just signed up for the offer and got a BesrBuy GC see attached image
Sweet. Between this $30 gift card, the free wireless charger for registering my first card on Samsung Pay, the free Gear VR, the year of Netflix, and 30% off an accessory, the Samsung giveaways with my S7 Edge have truly been impressive. [emoji108]

Is there a limit you need to buy to get the $30 gift card? Can I just go and buy and a candy bar or bottle of pop and will that be enough to qualify for the gift card? Also do I get the gift card in the mail? I'm assuming because my CC information is stored and it will be sent to my house. I'm hopiong there will be a note on my Samsung Pay app that I bought something and and there will be a note saying I get the gift card. Gotta love Samsung and the S7 Edge. :victory:

This information is available inn the apps promotion and via the Samsung pay website. However, I can tell you how it worked for me. There was no minimum limit to the purchase and as soon as Samsung pay was used (I bought a Jimmy John's), a popup in the app let's you know that the gift card is available. You then get to choose which card you want and select it. You then get the option to add it to your Samsung Pay app. I already spent the Samsung gift card I chose and it worked like a charm. But you really should check the website for further info and card eligibility.
Oh, and make sure you have the latest update of Samsung Pay on your phone before you make a purchase so the promotion will be pre-loaded. You can see if it is there checking the "events" part of the app.
You'll get the gift card right away added to the Samsung pay app used mine immediately on ebay

Pretty much anywhere that has a magnetic strip reader or a tap to pay terminal. The kind that you swipe the card yourself. I'm not sure about gas pumps though. That's one of the things that makes Samsung Pay better than Android Pay or Apple Pay (in my opinion). MST tech means there doesn't need to be a NFC terminal involved.

The $25 Gift Card or Carrier credit??

There is automatic credit added to your bill if you on AT&T.
same .. i figured it was for exchanging for a different phone and not holding onto the note 7 until the new ones arrived .. but mine was done right away on my current bill and they was nice about it

Yes I just chatted with AT&T. They told me that it will be in the next Bill. Also I complained about the whole not fiasco. So he applied another 25 dollars to my account. So if you call tell them the hassle wasn't worth 25 dollars when you are messing with a explosive device. :good:
I am curretnly talking to at&t they don't want to issue the credit, saying that is for exchanging to another samsung device
---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------
ok so after chatting with one agent and then his supervisor, and after they claiming the 25 dollar credit was for exchanging to another samsung device, they agreed to give me the 25 dollar credits for both my phones.
They automatically applied $26.50 to my account a day after I got my replacement. Not sure why it's not exactly $25.

That makes sense. Thanks.
I wonder how buying it from Sam's and returning to ATT for exchange will affect this?
AT&T told me it would be applied within 90 days of the exchange. That way a certain percentage of us can forget that we are owed it.
I made out pretty good on the deal, so I can't complain. .. these are the additional things I got had they not done the recall...
- No payments on my phone so far (next bill) due to billing dates, and refunds. Didn't pay anything on the temp s7edge either
- $5 from dunkin donuts (again)
- $10 samsung pay first use credit... twice once on s7e and once on new n7
- $5 refer a friend samsung pay credit
- Gear VR free
- 256 GB memory card free (in addition to the first one from the initial n7)
Not going to get rich, but hey, it was a 2 week interruption to my routine, and I came away with some free stuff... I'll can forget them for it.

Submit your NEW note 7 receipt and information under the current s7/s7edge promo. They are approving and shipping if you bought a note 7, but they are not advertising it. Samsung knows the imei numbers and can reject them if they want to... But they are not. Plus you have to send them your receipt image, and mine clearly says Note 7. I know humans are reviewing them because my s7 edge one got rejected because the date wasn't clearly showing..i had to resubmit, and it was then approved... so Samsung 100% knows that they are approving Note 7 on the s7 promo...and obviously they don't care.
Hm I just completed the promotion. Going to see if it works for me... Haha
Oh wow, mine got approved. I didn't get a confirmation email but I checked my status and it said it was approved. Awesome!!!! Hopefully this isn't a fluke.
Edit: Also, I got credited for both my replacement 7 phones. $32 x 2

I submitted mine as well and it's been approved and ready for shipment.
I just submitted mine too. I wish that I hadn't purchased the Gear VR when I got my first Note since this one comes with bonus software. At least I got 30% the Gear VR using Samsung offer when I registered. Getting the 256GB card. Keeping fingers crossed. Thanks boufa for the suggestions! Much appreciated. Always worth trying no matter what happens.
I just submitted my receipt. I wanted to buy a VR, but if I can get one free, that's even better.
I did the free memory card last time though. And I didn't get a loaner phone either. I just did an exchange. I wonder if any of these will hurt my chances at all.
It's worth a shot at least!

went in to exchange my note 7 and the place tried to charge me sales tax on the replacement phone. guess who didn't pay their sales tax? This guy lol

Just checked on my submission done yesterday and it's approved! No shipping date yet.
Holy cow! My promo submission for the VR was approved!
I'm surprised since technically I only bought 1 Note 7 and I did the 256GB card promo already for the previous promo. I guess Samsung is just doing this as a secret apology for anyone who had to deal with the recall.

Verizon Cancelled my Note 7 payments

A few weeks ago I spoke to a Verizon rep and he said that I would be paying off the Note 7 until I decided to replace it in the exchange.
HOWEVER
Just a few days ago as I was looking at my Verizon bill that my Note 7 payments had disappeared. Surprised by this, I asked a rep in the chat about it -- they told me that my Note 7 was completely paid for (I didn't pay it, in fact, I put the minimum down and was making payments since). Has anyone else noticed this on their accounts? It's a nice surprise.
When I turned mine in, I found out that they never charged me for my replacement note.

Verizon said refund I did not ask for is on the way
Just got this from Verizon:
You should receive your check soon. View online
Your Samsung Galaxy Note7 refund has been processed.
We processed your refund due to the recent recall of your purchased Samsung Note7. You will receive a check in 2-3 weeks for the amount of $864.00, which includes the purchase price of the device, any purchased Note7 accessories, and any fees paid during your upgrade or exchange.
If you have not already upgraded your Note7, you qualify for special incentives when you upgrade to a new device. The easiest way to upgrade is online:
• Customers upgrading to another Samsung device will receive a $100 bill credit. Customers upgrading to any other device will receive a $25 bill credit. Credits will be applied to your bill in 1-2 bill cycles.
• Upgrade fees will be waived at checkout.
• Plus, all orders receive free 2-day shipping.
• For detailed instructions and FAQs, please visit: go.vzw.com/note7faq.
After your order is processed, you will receive a special recovery box to return your Note7. Please send us your Note7 at your earliest convenience.
I have had no communication with them and intend to keep my phone until next Note comes out. I guess if they send me a check and I don't cash it and don't use their return box, I'd be okay for a while. This is pretty aggressive I'd say.

Wow, this is interesting. Have you done anything that would make Verizon think that you're no longer using your Note 7? Also was this in an email or text? I've been getting intermittent texts about returning the phone, but they all say the same thing about the voluntary recall.
Just checked my verizon account, my line no longer shows a phone payment charge, just the line access charge. Interesting. Any way to take advantage of this situation? lol

I have kept a very low profile and done nothing to make them think I am returning it or not using it. I get the periodic stock text, but nothing like this. If I were to accept the refund, I would think they might be able to blacklist my IMEI, and it would seem logical if I receive payment I would not longer own the phone. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Thanks. I will. My current plan is to ignore the refund if they send it, as well as any return box they might send. I'll be horse that gets led to water, but I won't drink!
I got a note 7 right when the new batch released which I think was around September 21st and I've had mine since. As soon as the second recall was announced around Oct 10th Verizon wiped it clean from my account even though I still had it. It also showed my upgrade available so I got a Pixel XL which I then exchanged for the V20 and I still have the Note 7 as I type this. I even spoke with Verizon on the phone and the girl said my account shows no record of me having a Note 7, so I'm keeping it. I just use it as a wi-fi device now. If Verizon had any intentions of charging for the device they would have waited until it was returned before issuing any refunds or erasing from people's account.
i think you folks who bought them from Verizon are getting these freebies. i bought mine from a small affiliate store and am not seeing refunds.

Yeah I got my replacement the first day they were available -- this must when the payments were cancelled. Has anyone on Verizon with a note 7 not had their payments taken care of?
When the 2nd recall was announced verizon refunded me all the payments i had made and they gave me my upgrade back, i upgraded to the V20 and still have my note 7. Samsung sent me a box to send it back but i never did that was a month ago
i still have the og note 7. got it right before the recall hit in september. . as far as i can tell its free for me as well. i made one payment and was even refunded for that!! LoL

Sprint Pre-order Waiting and Shipping Room

I didn't see one for Sprint so I figured I would start one. I ordered directly from Sprint. Got the black S8+. I was debating ordering from them or Best Buy but went for Sprint. Hoping I get it before April 21st.
I always go with best buy patiently waiting for the 21st

I was having the same exact thing! After multiple hours on the phone, online and in the store. Finally was elevated to retention department and they were able to fix the problem (I think they simply voided the lease). So frustrating since my wife's had no problem upgrading. Glad to hear (although unfortunate) that I wasn't the only one having this problem.
IS there not that many Sprint people around? Am I with the wrong carrier?
I'm around and getting ready to do the same thing (upgrade to the S8)

Because I signed up to return it and never did. So they contacted me and offered me more. And sprint contacted them when I tried to upgrade to s8+ and my meid number didn't match my original note 7 so sprint couldn't do anything

So you just really got your refund on the note 7?
I pre-ordered from sprint.com
Can't wait! - S8 midnight black
I am selling my Pixel XL (128mb) when this comes in. WELL - I'll live with it a little bit and make the decision.
The Pixel XL is honestly really great. Just boring.
And I am excited to get to a "truly one handed" phone with a large screen (if infact the S8 can be that for me).
Does Sprint have any history of delivering early or anything?

I received my S7 Edge a little over a week early, so Im hoping for the same with this phone.

I'm with T-mobile, but over the weekend a Sprint rep tagged me down while I was walking by, he was arguing with me that 256GB micro SD card doesn't exist, because they were offering 128GB micro SD card lol
I pre-ordered in black, online at 1 am on the 30th. Hoping they ship early, but being on sprint and with a Samsung phone I doubt it.

Just wanted to share some of the information I put together while putting in two pre-orders for S8's today at a Best Buy Mobile store.
First off, I was informed by the Assistant Manager that helped me at Best Buy Mobile that the $50 "gift card" for the S8 and $100 "gift card" for the S8+ would lower the amount of the installments over the period of the 24 month installment plan (I assume the same for the lease option too).
For instance, if I go with the 24 month installments on the S8 ($50 deal), I would get $2.08 off for 24 months bringing the monthly price down from $31.25 to $29.17. If I got the S8+ ($100 deal), I would get $4.16 off for 24 months bringing the monthly price down from $35.42 to $31.26.
Now based on what I have read on other forums I am still left wondering if I am actually getting a gift card for the phone or if it will be applied like mentioned above.
In addition I called Sprint to ask about the special offer "Get a $10/mo. loyalty credit on lease or installment billing when you stay on your current plan." that shows on my account. I was informed that I would not be eligible to receive this credit if I got the phone from Best Buy and the only way would be to order it through Sprint or through "telesales". I feel like the person was lying to me and just trying to get a sale.
The Assistant Manager at Best Buy Mobile checked with her local rep who told her that I would get the $10 loyalty credit and that it doesn't matter where the phone comes from; if your plan is eligible the credit will hit your account within a few billing cycles. I asked about the waived $30 upgrade fee that Sprint is offering. The rep said I would not get that (which I'm OK with if everything else checks out).
Anyway, if all this works like I have been told by Best Buy, my two S8's I ordered will be $19.17 a month and if I would have got an S8+ it would come to $21.26 a month.
The question is what is true and what is not true?
Preordered from sprint.com the first day it was available. Getting a $10 a month loyalty credit, or $240 off over 2 years.
Moving from a S4.
I ordered mine from Sprint today. I normally would have used Best buy but they don't offer Galaxy forever.
I had the same problems ordering as others here. They tried to charge me for the rest of my lease from my S7.
Once I called they cancelled the rest of my lease to fix the problem.
At this point it seems Sprint has the best pre-order deal.
