Not sure if anyone else tried yet, but the latest promo from Samsung doesn't specifically mention the note 7 for the gear VR or 256gb sd card. I submitted my info and was approved for shipment already.
For those getting swaps, if you get a full receipt for the new device you may be able to get lucky as well.

Question, did you use the same email you used for the original Note7 promo with this new promo that doesn't have the Note7 included? I just tried for the VR using the same email I used with the original Note7 promo to get my SD Cards.
I got the Note 7 on Thursday as an upgrade but on an Edge plan. I did not see anything on the free Vr or SD card.

But for giggles I went ahead and submitted my receipt and second (new battery model) Note 7 IMEI, all they can do is say no. I already got the Fit 2 from initial purchase and the 256gb memory card was approved waiting to ship for the "loaner" S7 purchase, the gear VR would make it a Trifecta lol

I called samsung about this promotion and they said that the Note 7 "Still can qualify for this promotion." So Id hurry up and submit it for a 256 gb sd card. Unless you want the Gear VR.

No, my name is not on the receipt.
I guess I'll be trying for the SD card then as I got the fit2 and waiting in gear vr to arrive. At least get the goodies we can for all the crap we went through.
In order for me to do the promo I have to call them. I told the lady that I am hearing impaired which means I cannot call. I asked if I can email. She said unfortunately we do not do that through email only phone. I said then I can't do the promo it does no good for me to call.

I fought with her on chat. I simply told her ok I will return the phone for Moto Z Force. She got all scared and got the manager on it.
I got approved for SD card. Still waiting on gear vr to actually ship. So now just a waiting game for the trifecta to be in hand.
Got approved today,submitted yesterday with replacement receipt and no name on receipt. I'm getting the gear vr since I already got the sd card when I first pre order it..

Would anyone in the right mind buy a Nexus 4 8gb right now for $450? I was a Sprint Note 2 fan and dumped it after I moved and couldn't get data. I found a guy willing to drop it off at my work still brand new wrapped.
The nexus 4 is an amazing phone but 8gb space for $450 is simply not worth it.

I'm so frustrated over my Sprint Note 2 and using my Atrix 4G on Net10 is getting old. I'm selling the Note 2 for $500 tonight and never going to CDMA again. I will however continue dev work on my Sprint S3 so other users can unlock their CDMA phones to work on GSM.

I'm tired of couriers pushing us around and locking fully functional quadband radios and loading their crapware on. I'm frustrated by couriers/OEMs keeping firmware/driver source to themselves which makes custom roms difficult. I'm tired of locked bootloaders and invalidation of warranties due to rooting.
No more I say, no more!
I'll pay the extra $150 and be happy :laugh:

Don't buy it. Wait for another offer with 16 GB. 8gb are just too less. You'd regret it.
Hang on for a good offer.
In Germany you get new ones on eBay 16gb for $ 400.

Anyone bought one from Amazon recently and received one with the older firmware? I just bought one today and am really hoping it doesn't come with MF3 (I may just return it if it does)

The longer people wait after the MF3 update came out, to get a device - the more likely you are to get one with it on. Getting one this far out, odds are high that it's going to have MF3. And seemingly, to me, returning it in an attempt to get one without MF3, you're SOL and it'll be a waste of your time and money.
It sucks, having MF3, but we'll get past it!
MF3 shouldn't be a HUGE problem anymore thanks to the new SafeStrap recovery, which works on MF3.

Wound up swapping up to a 32GB, which came MDL. So I guess you increase your chances by buying a 32GB model, since they don't turn over as many of those. Probably holds true for any retailer.

When I received my S5 I noticed that the back cover came damaged. It has a bend on the bottom edge and a pinched edge on the side. I called Verizon and they said all they can do is send me a like new phone. Samsung said that the back cover isn't covered in the warranty and I have to wait till they start selling back covers and purchase one myself. I tried to talk to someone higher up but was told no one was available.
Is there anything else I can do just to get a replacement cover? I don't want to get a like new phone because even though it can't be used for long anything can happen in a short time.

Honestly, if it were me, and Verizon just told me to basically go screw myself after having received a damaged phone, I would return it and take my business elsewhere. They clearly don't value you as a customer.

I understand as well that you paid a large amount and expect it to be in great condition but since being pretty much screwed by vzw you have these option
return it and get a new one.
get the like new phone and hope it comes with a cover, keep the cover and send the like new phone back.
buy a phone protector/case. I have the otterbox commuter, covers the phone, protects it well and not big of a case as I imagined.
wait for oem covers or replacement covers pop up on sale.
get the oem samsung cover with the screen flip folio thing.
or trade with some body that wont mind.
goodluck

I was told if I return the phone I have to pay a restocking fee. I'm gonna go down to the store and talk to the person that ordered it for me. See what they say. I have a case on it and I am on the edge program so I do have to worry about selling the phone. If I can't get a replacement back cover, it's not the end of the world. I just think it should be right and it should be a problem getting it replaced.

I just think it should be right and it should be a problem getting it replaced.

totally agree with you, if I get something brand spanking new it better not be damaged and defects taken care of. I was just supplying some choices you could have gone with.
To all of you people saying it is just a battery door, you are aware this phone is water resistant for a short time. If these cracks are large enough to allow water into normally gasketed off areas that completely ruins one of the major selling points of the phone.

Be stern with them. Tell them you know someone can replace it for you and you refuse to get off the phone till someone resolves your issue. Don't be rude, don't be load, don't cuss. Be respectful and explain your situation. Ask if they can help you, and if not to be escalated to whoever can. Just refuse to get off the line politely as you need Verizon to fix its mistake.

If they get to a point where they say they are the highest escalation, ask to talk to corporate.

Ask them to send you a complete refurbished device when it arrives swap the back cover and send the refurbished device back. Problem solved!

They don't want other people seeing crap. That's a good idea going through Facebook. I still haven't had time to stop at the store. Maybe I'll try that. Thanks

I just walked out of the Verizon store where I ordered my phone from with a new back cover. I told them what happened, they looked up my account, went in the back and gave me a new cover. Calling verizon and Samsung was a waste of time.

Yeah, it looks like during this beta only those cards are being accepted. I went back and read the beta requirements.
What's interesting is that I tried to add an AmEx card and it failed but I got an email from AmEx, not Samsung, saying it couldn't be added and to contact them which is interesting...

To sign up in the US
Signed up then opened the leaked apk and it went through for me... Then it updated the app and the payment engine.
Just curious for everyone that's been able to successfully register a card with Samsung Pay. How is it going? Have you been able to use it without it crashing? Have you tried the mst or just nfc. Wouldn't have to ask but I'm on Verizon so I have to live through everyone else who isn't lol...

how long does it take to sign up? i registered my email earlier this morning but nothing has happened since. the pay app just shows its almost here.
So jealous. Stupid Verizon

I've seen conflicting info online, and can't remember the dialer code to check what bands the phone actually supports. I bought the US unlocked S8 a few weeks ago at Best Buy, and have a Sprint SIM in it now. I'm hoping it supports band 41, but I'm not sure. Any info you can provide would be great!

Yeah I saw that, but then in Samsung's website it says under specs that it doesn't support band 41, so I just wanted confirmation from those that have tried it personally.

I'm not sure if there is, I tried googling it but got nothing. I live in a band 25/26 only area so I can't test, but there is a band 41 area about a half hour away I could go check

I am thinking of getting the Samsung unlocked S8 for the BF deal They are running when you trade in your phone.
How do you like using the unlocked version on Sprint? Anything that doesn't work that you wish you had? Any issues that you have noticed?
no visual voicemail kind of sucks but other than that it has all i need

I can live with out visual voice mail. Have you tried sideloading the app?
Does SMS and MMS work ? What about VoLTE?
I've tried using my US Unlocked U1 on Sprint a few times before giving up. They always send me a simcard, it doesn't work, then they send me another that doesn't work. Ended up on Verizon and it's working without issue.
