The time for my supposed 24 hour callback from a PrizeLogic supervisor came and went, so I called in again today and asked to hold for a supervisor. I finally talked to a gentleman and explained that I was told by Samsung to call back in and ask to receive the $200 gift certificate. He...

I called Samsung 4 or 5 times over the last couple of days. Tweeted back and forth with Samsung USA and Samsung Support. I also emailed numerous departments within Samsung USA. Hell, I was even banned from the thread going on over at Verizon community forums for saying I liked the gif I posted...

I just called and told that it would need to be escalated to a supervisor and would receive a callback within 24 hours. I have never received a callback from one of their supervisors. The only way I got to talk to one was when Samsung called them while I was on the phone with them...

Credit to the author over on the Verizon community forums, but I lol'd

Crappy response from Samsung Support over on Twitter: We definitely understand where you are coming from, bcg416. In the case of your carrier, they offered either the Gear VR or the Gear S2. In their specific case, if one gift ran out, the other was substituted in. Had both gifts run out, then...

No problem. :) I also tweeted Samsung USA Support the link to this thread and they are supposedly looking into it. Maybe it will help... I think I'm gonna throw my Gear VR up on Ebay and take the money and put it towards a Moto 360 watch or something, lol.

Here's a public spreadsheet for anyone who would like to list their details: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AQDD_oa9BWPYLfN-wfY9hARAfiY3uXyddXLIlwMGrfI/edit?usp=sharing

Suggest everyone on Twitter hammer @SamsungSupport

I finally talked to a supervisor @ Prize Logic and that went nowhere. She is sticking to the story that there is no availability of S2 watches and that is why people are getting Gear VRs. She agreed that the Gear VR was not equal or greater value to the S2 and recommended I talk to Samsung...

What phone number / department did you contact @ Samsung. We need to flood them with complaints. Prize Illogical isn't going to do anything. Gonna have to make waves with Samsung.

After readying others experiences on a few different forums, talking to Prize Illogical, and reading between all the very blurry lines, this is what I believe is happening: If you got this email: You will be getting the S2 - someday... If you ever got this email like I, and many others...

These people at prize logic are idiots. I have called and confirmed I would be receiving Gear S2 on two separate occasions. After receiving a tracking number in fedex shipping manager at 1.4lbs, I pretty much knew I was getting the Gear VR, which will be delivered tomorrow. The rep at Prize...

Would like somebody to confirm that as well. I got the gift switch email, called PL and confirmed I would still be getting the Gear S2, and my 1.4lb package should be delivered tomorrow. Pretty sure it's a Gear VR...

Mine showed up in delivery manager today as well and is showing 1.4lbs. Confirmed with PL several times that I was getting the Gear S2. Better not be a damn Gear VR. :eek:

Mine certainly was not on a business line and others I know got the same email and don't have business accounts. From my conversations with Prizelogic, it really does appear the emails were sent in error.
