Samsung promotion status.

[Miles Kennefick]

Has anyone tried using the S2 GPS without 3G service? I'm guessing it doesn't work but if it does that would be a nice feature.

should work... was a gps chip in it..... but no sorry have not received yet

I tried this and didn't have any credit. Have you used Samsung pay before or gotten any of the freebies from Samsung pay?

I have Samsung pay since it was launched on the S6 and Note 5, and I've used ALL promotions they have released and even got the $30 gift card offer on each of my 4 S7/S7 edge.

This is a total mystery for me, sure I'm not complaining, just wanted to share this with you just in case you all can get the same.

Has anyone gotten this???? I just went to check my status after getting 2 emails saying that my submission was approved and now I get a screen saying that I have no submissions with my email address!? WTF??? Just yesterday and for the last 4 weeks it said my submission was approved and preparing shipment. Is this a good sign??

And no, I don't think it's a good sign.

True, but so do phones and they don't always work without being connected to a 3G network or wifi.

This is normal when they are updating. Try again tomorrow or later today.

I agree with others that this has been a total failure for Samsung. Most of us that submitted 3/9 or 3/10 have not received a ship date but are now being told it may be May or later this summer. In the meantime those that submitted a week or more later already have their S2. Totally unfair. And as far as I am concerned I will not participate in future Samsung promotions if Prize logic is involved.

They are probably sending the emails to prevent an influx of calls, but sending out those emails are probably doing exactly that.

The GPS will work without 3G to locate you, but generally speaking DATA is needed to download map information or anything else you'd be using along with GPS unless there is an app that specifically allows you to download some map info to the watch...but guessing probably not since it's a watch with limited memory.

I submitted 3-10. My shipping label was created last night & is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. FedEx still shows label created. Hoping that it will come but we'll see. I didn't receive the new email but also got error on Samsung site.

So is having "I am sorry you have no submission associated with this email." as the go to message when you're updating your server... Perhaps a "Sorry, promotion statuses are currently unavailable. Please try again later." would be better... lol

 

[thomasmarcgodskid]

I got the same email everyone else is getting. And like others, when I go to the promotion site it now says there's no record of a submission with my email address. They certainly are doing a horrible job handling this. I checked my FedEx manager and do not show anything there yet.

I don't mind waiting the originally stated 4-6 weeks, but when I pre-ordered my phone the first weekend they went on sale and received and submitted for the promo even before the official launch date, I do expect to have it by that 6th week. It's bad enough that many people who submitted after me already have their S2 and mine hasn't even been shipped. If I don't get it by that 6th week, I'll start calling Verizon like crazy and bugging them - of course they'll say it's a Samsung thing, but since Verizon sold me the phone with the promo, they'll be getting the calls. If they get enough calls, their higher ups will start contacting Samsung's higher ups to get things taken care of.

Now you're just asking for too much

Thanks, that makes sense. I agree about map data, but I was more thinking along the lines of the running app. I use my phone to track workouts but if the watch could do so without the benefit of the phone GPS this could be handy. My original plan was to sell the watch and try to upgrade to an S2 Classic, but now that people are getting the 3G version I may have to reconsider.

I got the same email and also on the website saying no submission under my email

so today I decided to see what happened when placing directly with Samsung.com and to use the $100 promo code they just sent me instead of the VR offer, for my surprise once I added the item to the cart it showed me a $100 Samsung pay activation credit.

I'm confused - is this a $100 promo you got towards to buy a VR as part of purchasing the S7 or a promo you got for using Samsung Pay. I don't recall any Samsung Pay promo with a $100 anything...

Anyway, just for fun I tried adding a few things to my cart over $100 total and when I went to checkout, nothing. I did get a $30 Best Buy gift card for activating and using Samsung Pay, but to my knowledge that was the extent of that.

Sounds like it may be a long wait for the S2 based on this email I got today.

Submission Status

I am sorry you have no submission associated with this email.

I already got my watch and assumed I was getting this message because it had been fulfilled?
