Thanks, yea I used her old receipt to apply for this promo anyways, even though its an older date, maybe since it is all under my name (and my new phone is within the promo date) they may accept it, who knows.
As for the old phone, well technically it may not even be on contract or even being paid for at all (they made a huge mistake!) Even the BOGO ghost line is gone...so it may be that its sort of a "free" phone. The issue is that it is the old/defective model, I just checked on the Samsung website. So would it be better to just exchange this one, even though they will "Add it to the bill" and reclaim the bogo. Or, keep the "Free phone" (and sell it) and "add a new one" to the contract (in otherwords just get a new one/upgrade) then get the promo that way.
EIther way I can get the promo from fixing the account/bogo or keeping the "Free" *but defective phone) and getting a new one .
I mean, would it be worth it to even sell one of the original n7's? Even though it is telling em to recall it, it works fine, would someone buy it half price? I dunno...confused on what to do
On contract or not, the phone is a potential hazard. DO NOT pass the problem off to someone else and try to profit from it! You have already verified that it is a recalled product. You do not need any more proof than that. If the BOGO line no longer exists, then the BOGO offer is void, and you already paid for the device, so it is no longer free. It has been recalled, and the place you got it from HAS TO take it back and replace it for you.
If you are more concerned about free stuff, do yourself a favor and go through the trouble to get the free stuff with replacing the recalled items. It was purchased somewhere at some point, so there is a record of it somewhere. And once it is replaced, they will either do a formal transaction, in which you will receive a receipt to show proof of purchase and that can be used to get your free stuff, or they will just hand you a brand new Note 7, and you'll be on your way. And again, in turn, that Note 7 will end up being free to you because as you stated it was paid off, and the line is gone. If you get to that point, and you find you no longer want the brand new, unused Note 7, there will be a market for it, at which you could try to sell the device and make some sort of money off of it, and you may still come out on top.
Either way, DO NOT try to resell the recalled device. At this point anyone really looking for a deal on the Note7, should be well aware of the recall, and will find a way to find out if they are in fact buying a safe or a bad device. You may not ever get a buyer if you cannot provide the proper info and proof that the device is safe.
Your best bet is to try to replace it as soon as possible, before the qualifying period passes, and you cannot apply for the free stuff.
