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

I got an approval message today for the VR. Oh well, hoped for the SR and don't know what I'll do with the VR. Not sour grapes but a realist. I don't play games at all. Anyone want to trade a VR for an SR?

April 30th ship. Finally got the sign up to work on March 17th

Dang, I applied for the S2 watch and I just got an emailing saying since it was for a business they can only give me the VR. I bought a VR on ebay last week already too

Same boat here. Sucks i got the same email about them shipping the VR instead of the S2 because of a business purchase. I already have the VR.

I just got that email too. Do you know what that means? What is this business purchase they are talking about? I ordered it through the Verizon website.

Do I have to wait for the VR to arrive before downloading the games? The email says I can set up my Oculus account on the Galaxy, but I don't see an App on my phone, Galaxy store or Google Play Store.

It means the account you have with Verizon is structured as a business account and not a personal account.

Thank you for that info. I have no idea why it would be structured as a business account. I better check back with Samsung and/or Verizon and see what is going on.

Lots of us have a shipping date of April 1. Hopefully ours will be here early too! Enjoy it!

Both of mine still say approved but no email yet :/

Same here. Never got an email... Only found out that my order is preparing for shipment 5/8/16 when I checked the website.

Same here. Both my submissions now say approved and preparing shipment

I just spoke with the rebate company. They said there is 'an email issue' whereby they are sending emails that claim the applied for gift (the S2) will be sent the VR headset instead. She said this is a widespread issue but that the S2 I applied for on the 11th of March will be sent April 18th. Hope this helps!

My status sas approved, pending shipment, but I never got a confirmation email. I also can not get ahold of prize logic to talk to them about the shipping address, as they never asked for it when I was signing up for the promotion. Do they just use the shipping address on the receipt you uploaded? My phone is through Verizon, not sure if that makes a difference

You should have filled out an address when you submitted the claim.

Nope, it never had me do that. Just asked for my email. The imei, Mac number and a picture

Are you talking about the email that stated this:

Congratulations! Your submission has been approved; however because the
purchase receipt you uploaded denotes an in-store and/or online business
purchase, you are only eligible to receive the Samsung Gear VR with 6-game
bundle. We will ship your Samsung Gear VR to the mailing address you
provided when registering for this Offer. Your estimated shipping date is
April 18, 2016.

Interesting. Perhaps they've changed the submission form at some point?

Here is what it looks like now:

Is it possibly because I filled that information out once, before I knew I had to have to Mac code, so I went back a few days later when I got my phone? I believe the first time I tried I put my address in but a few days later all I did was enter the email, did it possibly save my address with that email and that's why it didn't ask again?
