Gear VR Promotion Success/Failure Thread: please post whether you are successful ...

[Braidlee]

you'll lose out on the app bundle they are offering it looks like if you go that route though

If the free VR does eventually show up at some point, the coupon code for the 6 free games will be in that package and they give you 30 days to redeem the coupon and download the 6 free games. Shouldn't matter 'what' VR device you use to do that with where the games are downloaded into your own private Oculus account. As far as I understand. Although, if Oculus is paying attention, and I sign into my Oculus account with a VR, they may assume that's the VR I received free and that might start the 30 day timer. hmm... I'll update this post when I sign in with my 'self purchased' VR this week.

please do, the whole app bundle thing is oddly vague in what you get and how exactly it works, so i'd be curious to see if that worked.

My status changed back to "Your submission is currently under review." Err...

It changed back to "Fulfillment pending." With that, I'm no longer going to comment on these status changes until I either get a rejection notice or have the product in hand. Good luck all, and my suggestion: don't check every day. You'll just drive yourself crazy. Enjoy life and only act if you do get some sort of communication from them.

I really don't know whether Verizon, internally, handles business accounts differently than they do personal accounts.

They definitely do. I had to return my phone for a replacement because the camera was crashing and then sent me one next day even though it was supposedly back ordered. They also sent me the S2 with it for the inconvenience because they assumed the promo would get screwed up with the new phone. They've always bent over backwards to help me with the business account.

don't leave too much up to them. they've rejected claims on other promotions and ever contacted the customer. they change terms of the promotion and also the status page when it benefits them.

i'm not saying check every day, but don't wait for them to contact you. prizelogic is a horrible horrible company.

Mine says fulfillment pending, and I got the confirmation email, but I don't recall ever putting in my address, do they just go based off the address on the receipt you submitted?

Does anyone else question the fact that the offer for the 6 free game bundle from Oculus expires on April 20th, which is, in my case, EXACTLY 6 weeks from March 9th which was when I submitted my request for my free Gear VR. So, if it takes upwards of 6 weeks just to APPROVE my submission, I'm out the six free games because the downloads for those games will no longer be available after April 20th. Even if the VR is shipped overnight which, at this point, might be expecting too much. LOL
I've tried looking for the 'Oculus App' through the Google Play store to download the games before the deadline, but it doesn't exist 'until' you plug it into the gear VR. With all that understood, I would like to believe we will all receive our VRs BEFORE April 20th.

I noticed the same thing a few days ago and I'm going to be more than a little upset if I don't get the free game bundle because of the incomptence of this company that Samsung has hired to do this. In the end, it is Samsung's fault. The free VR Gear should have at least been shipped with all of the pre-orders.

Oculus updated the terms and conditions to change the expiration date to, "Then, you must download the Oculus app and activate your Oculus account on your Eligible Product by 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Time on April 20, 2016, or within 30 days of receiving your Eligible Product, whichever is later.'

I will post the link to the T&C in my next post as I currently only have 9 posts.

My status for the Gear S2 is also "Fulfillment pending" has been now for a week but I never received a confirmation email as of yet.

 

[Kacie Sakai]

Did you have to put in an address for it to ship to when you first signed up for the promotion? I don't recall ever having to

I think they use the address on the invoice you upload

 

[johnwashere]

I redeemed my offer for the S2 but bought a new Gear VR off of ebay for $72 including shipping. It didnt have a 6 game bundle code but when I started up the VR for the first time and made an account it gave me the 6 game bundle right away It was easy

Ok, great! Thanks for letting me know they changed their T&C to recognize the April 20th date could be an issue. Thanks for letting me know!

Anyone know the approximate time from fulfillment pending to actual shipping?

I don't believe anyone knows this. If you go to the promotions page it states that shipping and delivery times have been pushed back to May and potentially summer of 2016.

I bought my s7 edge 3-15-16 and registered 3-18-16 (got a rejection email at first using the receipt in the box. Then used invoice receipt and the next day the status went to fullfilment pending). I sent an email 3-19-16 concerning the rejection and just got an email today saying,"

if that is true, I will probably just go ahead and buy a VR

Does anyone know how long it takes for an email response from them? I emailed them about wanting to change my choice from the VR to the $100 Samsung coupon code because I don't want to wait until Summer for the VR headset.
