Breakup of the Best Deal that I got -
S7 Edge Jump T-Mobile - $35/month. 1 year - $420
Freebies - netflix ($120), Gear VR bundle ($150), 1st usage of samsung Pay - Wireles charger ($50 comparwble to $20 atleast) and $30 Nike card. Total roughly around $320.

When Switching to another new phone after 1 year - Money spent - $100. And then the new deal takes over again.

COOL!!!!!

its random, some people ordered after me and got a shipping date, some people before me and still are pending. It doesn't look like they are following a specific format, its just random

Has anyone received shipping date for S2 from Verizon, I noticed a few of "shipping dates pending" from VZW but do not recall seeing any actual dates for the S2 yet....

"...Submission Approved. Preparing for Shipment. Shipping Date estimate: Pending"

One of the gear vrs came just now with FedEx.

Submission Approved. Preparing for Shipment. Shipping Date estimate: xx/xx/xxxx !!
Shipping date in a few days!!
Still no e-mail from them with any codes though. I hope they are all in the box with the VR goggles.

Went by the Samsung factory store in Singapore yesterday and played with all the new toys...
Had a VR roller coaster with moving chairs, a real Harley Motorcycle, "ski slope".... was pretty real!
Hope they keep the content coming... has great potential.

So an an update as well i spoke to to someone at PrizeLogic that confirmed the emails were sent in error and I was still setup for the S2 promo fwiw. She wasn't sure when or if any corrected follow up emails will occur.

I just got off the phone with Laquisha at Prizelogic and can confirm this as well. Their system says I was approved for the S2 Watch and WILL be recieving the watch. Some emails were sent out in error.

"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."

...according to them, all is well with the Verizon Gear S2 promo (unless you drew #30,001).

 

[Tlyn]

Just checked on mine, it says Summission Approved, Shipping 4/18. Yay!

 

[compddd]

I called Prizelogic and they said for the T-Mobile people anyone who didn't submit their claim by March 17th won't be receiving a Netflix code. Yet you can go to GS7 & GS7 edge VR FAQ and it clearly says all you had to do was order by March 14th to receive the Netflix code. Nothing about submitting by a certain date.

Ok that makes me feel better. I emailed them earlier so I'll see what they say.

Yes. Thats the email. The Prize Logic representative said those errors were sent out due to an error.

 

[AndroidHumanoid]

I submitted mine the day after release and it now states that it is shipping in 4 weeks. I can't wait so I can finally ditch this phone and go back to my Note 4. That curved screen is driving me up a wall.

So you got the -- you are not getting the S2 but instead the Gear VR due to in-store or online business purchase? Then you called Prize Logic and they said that this actually means that you are getting the S2 and to disregard?? Can you confirm.

 

[russakaclay]

Mine still says preparing for shipping on April 1st but it came today.

 

[teristark]

My husband's has a ship date of 4/18 but mine is still pending. We purchased ours 3 days apart.

After the I read the email, I called and spoke to a prizelogic rep named Lequisha. She informed me the email was an error. Rather than just accepting that generic answer and hanging up, I drilled her some more and asked what the "computer system" says. She had my file pulled up (under my email address) and it said I was approved for the S2 and will be receiving the S2, and to YES, disregard the erroneous email.
I preordered my phone online from verizonewireless.com and I do not have a business account. No way im letting them jip me from my watch. Had no reason to upgrade from a perfectly working Note 3. The free watch was the only reason I preordered the S7 Edge.
