Registration for "immersive Gear VR experience for $99" - How did it Go

[cre8tivspirit]

So just noticed that even though my registration is approved, below that there isn't a product or status listed. I opted for the $99 bundle as well. No email so far.

Samsung chat said to wait up to 24hrs for a update. No email either yet.


And why give the option for the $99 promo if they all out.

Exactly what I have ^^^^ Just the claim date and approved.

I've been on hold for 45 minutes. Let's hope I don't get kicked off like I did last night.

The website says that but not the app, which is really strange.

Ok...same for me. App says under review. Website says gift sent.

This is really frustrating...

Just wait for the email. Once I got the email (14hrs later in my case) it also updated to the buy now screen.

Guess so long it says approved it's good to go

I was kicked off 50 minutes in. Sigh.

Was on hold for 2 hours and the lady said they could do nothing as the website is screwed up. Don't waste your time.

Wowzer. Yes I just said Wowzer. Lol. Samsung isn't having a great day today.

How long does it take to get approved? Does it take the full 2 weeks?

I believe Samsung is only giving them to the people that purchased direct from Samsung.

Not true. I ordered mine through VZW and got the promotion.

For everyone wondering I did it through the app and only had to take a picture of my receipt. However, it took about 24 hours for me to get approved and I never received an approval email just checked the status in the app. Once approved it let me purchase the $99 bundle which I just did about 10 mins ago.

I would go through the app only to do the promotion. The website seems to not be working correctly.

Just for giggles I tried to register through the website but it tells me that my IMEI and MAC Address are ineligible. The app never asked for my MAC, just the IMEI. I guess I'll just wait and see what happens. I'm tired of stressing over this. If it works it works, if not, I at least have my awesome new phone and it's working great so far.

I'm Tmobile here, but for purchase date I believe you should put in date you preordered it on the website/in store. In my case I preordered on the 12th, processed on the 14th, shipped on 19th. 12th is the day I actually "bought" it. So i picked that

TMO here too.....I did the same thing. I used my pre order date as my purchase date.

App still says under review. I'll keep checking it. Seems like our issues are due to their systems being screwed up. Hopefully we will all get it in the end.

Yes. The website says approved and my gift has been sent, however the app said my claim was approved last night and now it says under review. I selected the $99 bundle but my approval email didn't have a payment link on it nor did the app, so maybe they are fixing the issue so when it goes to approved again on the app I can be able to purchase the $99 bundle.. Here is to hoping.

After 8 pages of this, I have one minor little question:

I've gone into the Shop Samsung app and worked through it, and it gives two options regarding which gift you want:

1. FREE Gear VR with Controller

2. Fully immersive VR experience for $99 (over $500 value)

So, are we all completely satisfied that "Fully immersive VR experience for $99" is indeed "the Bluetooth headphones and the 256GB MicroSD card?" I'm just a hair skeptical about that.

Yes. The initial link to it had a picture of what it consisted of.

 

[theelite1x87]

Yes. You are correct. The issue at hand is we aren't getting links to get that 99 dollar bundle.

Same boat as me. I submitted via desktop yesterday. After submission it automatically said I was approved, took me to a page that had a buy button for the $99 bundle which didn't work. Also received the email that my submission was approved immediately but nothing about the bundle. Spoke with a rep who said I needed to call back after 48 hours. This is total BS.
