Then she went on to say that they didn't expect this large of a response to the promo. Really???

Both VZW and prize logic have repeatedly said that when they listed the S2 as out of stock on the submission page on March 15th... but then 2 days later they re-listed the S2 available again... although they were quite aware of the supply and demand by now and listed the S2 as an option again....

what has put them in a bind now is that there have been people who have received their S2's that filed their submissions after the S2 was originally listed as out of stock and filed submissions after March 15th after purchasing thier phones in mid to late March....

and people who pre-orderd in February or had thier initial early submissions delayed/denied by samsung audit/clerical errors have still not received anything or are now getting random VRs like jsmith20 below.....

Good for you....but this is phucking bullschiz. I submitted three days before you and I'm still waiting for my watch. I'm starting to obsess over checking this forum and my status...and my fedex delivery manager which I don't think actually works...since my VR headset didn't show up there. I feel like Cartman.....But Mom....I want my Gear S2 Smartwatch with 3G connectivity and GPS!!!!

today would of been the six week mark since i was approved.

 

[Cnicks]

6 weeks since approved, 7 weeks since submitted 3/10..still waiting...

Current promo status says "processing gift for delivery"
FedEX manager says I have a 1.4 lbs package with a 4/30 delivery

My other VR that has an expected 5/8 shipping date has the same status. I wrote down the same address, but the name is under my Mom's. Will that package also show up under my FedEx Manager account or will it not because the name is different?

It will not because name is different

I just sent a (cordial) email to the Midwest manager at PL expressing my concerns. I have no reason to be irate with them just yet because I'm still just waiting (submitted 3/13, shipping still pending, so I'm beginning to grow impatient but I know others have waited longer than me) so for all I know I could still be getting the S2's I submitted and got approved for. If I get any info leading my believe this has changed then I will change my tune with them a bit. If I actually get VR's instead of the S2's then I will be pissed... I feel so bad for you guys that submitted so early and have VRs showing up on your doorstep after seeing people with 3/15+ submission dates getting S2s....

Just add your mom's name to your FDM account name variations. I have both mine and my wife's names on ours. With and without middle initials.

Has anyone else tried to use their code? Mine didn't work. Samsung is looking into it

There's going to be quite a "what not to do" list for Samsung/Verizon/PL when this promotion is done with...

Yo raphyp, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you finish, but I submitted almost a week before you and erroneously got a VR in the mail today.

 

[jjenkins2005]

Oh no... I haven't tried mine yet. I'm just going to by my S2 from swappa...

 

[GeorgeCorazzini]

Now I'm super worried it'll be stolen off porch

Contact fedex request the box is held for you to pick it up at the fedex terminal. Keep in mind that the terminal might be pretty far away and not your neighborhood fedex.

Won't there need to be an actual package first, or can I just request it for all of them?

 

[kaelthanas]

Well, I finally got my approval email and as a ton of you also got, I received the business account only eligible for the VR bs email. I'm done with prizelogic either Verizon can fulfill the promised S2 watch or they can lose a customer.

Samsung sent me a working code for the $200 and it worked!...I ordered the watch
