I will be returning my Note 7 to AT&T soon but wonder if Samsung will still ship out the free gifts that were promised. I plan to get another Note 7, probably in another color but definitely want my memory card.

Well the new device will have a new IMEI and MacAddress which is a determining factor for qualification....What im thinking is they will extend the promotion and make people who are still processing resubmit and cancel their first submission.....Cause if they send it now you could easily resubmit after your new device comes and use the new IMEI and MacAddress to qualify for a 2nd free gift... This is just my thoughts im not sure what they will do or if they will even give that much attention to it

When I got my S7 Edge when it released, got a bum unit but actually realized it after I did the Free Gear VR promotion, returned the bad phone and exchanged for a new S7 edge, went thru free Gear VR process again for the new unit. Got 2 Gear VR units in the mail.

It's a different waiting period for the sdcard, small and large fit2. People who put in later seemed to get theirs first. And vise versa.
I put in for my card on the 19th. Got the approved and in route message on the 22nd and nothing since then. And I'm about 2 hours away from the holding area.

I submitted for my SD card after my husband and mine came in yesterday and he hasn't gotten anything from Samsung besides, you're approved.

All I know is mine is "in route". You can translate that as "shipping" since no shipping notice received yet. I submitted on Tuesday night (8/30/16), and was approved the next morning when I got up. I ordered the GF 2.

I bought a TMo Note 7, submitted for the free year of Netflix. Ended up returning it 10 days later since my blue Samsung.com one showed up. Got the free year code the next day. Good, good.

AFAIK, they send them out in batches and as long as you were approved, you will get your freebie.
I know that. I just mean it hasn't "shipped" and is not in route to me in the truest sense of the word. Sammy and I have a long-standing relationship and I trust them implicitly to keep their word.

That's my thought process. I'm feeling like they might hold things up a bit. Time will tell. Either way I'm fine. Sooner or later. Sooner would be nicer.

I think they send these FedEx. Sign up for FedEx Delivery Manager and then you get email notifications whenever a package is sent to your address via FedEx.

AFAIK it is a 3rd party that processes and mails these out. If anything, the halting of Note 7 sales should speed things up since they will have fewer orders to process.
