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

I'm fearful that I will be the only one left on the thread & no one will be here to congratulate me if I finally get my S2. Try to remember to come back occasionally just in case I'm sitting here posting to myself? :eek:
 
No label here and I am a 3/9 submitter, according to plan 4/6 approval, no emails stating approval though..

3/10 submitter 4/6 approval I did get an email 4/7 and still nothing. the way I see it we were approved first and will get our stuff last. PL keeps telling me "we input everything manually bear with us a little longer" they won't even tell me if my case has been escalated and verizon isn't any help at all. we three way call and they hear their bull**** sorry and tell me see you are getting it. even though I'm past their 8 weeks. there is not 1oz of accountability.

I'll probably be right there with you... I submitted 3/13, approved status change 3/15ish but didn't even get the approval email until 4/27 for some reason which I'm sure they'll be using as my "start" date... central US and nothing in FDM.
 
Background: Was supposed to get a S2 and received a $200 eCert and VR instead.

Update: Received an email with a return label to ship the VR back to them and get my S2. I'm going to ship it out by today.

Anybody else?? I seriously hope they make it right this time.

I don't think anyone else is sending anything back to them.... hahaha. I'd imagine you'll have to wait at least 8 weeks from your return date to hear anything though!
 
Don't worry, I submitted on 3/11 for the Gear S2 as well and still no shipping label.

According to prizelogic I was approved on 3/22. I received the email on 3/23. I had an estimated shipping date of 4/18 which got switched to just pending around 4/15 on the Samsung status page.

Verizon and Prizelogic both say they don't know why I haven't received it but don't worry it will come.

So more than likely I will be right here with you. I'll make sure to come out of lurker mode when you receive yours :P

I'd personal keep your VR unless you are new to the ewatch... no telling if or when you will get anything back. S2 is nothing short of ... well nothing really.
 
3/9 and nothing even called fedex and nothing.

The way things are going I bet that guy who has the opertunity to send back his vr, will get his watch before all of us.

Top of the pile theory.

The problem is that I already have a VR so when PL sent me another VR instead of the S2, I had two VR's with 1 phone....I tried selling the VR for as low as $50 and nobody bites. Even offered to include a free Slickwraps Gear VR sticker.

Also offered to anybody on this site to swap their S2 for my $200 eCert and a VR.

I dont mind having to wait 8 weeks for a S2 since the VR would have probably sat in my closet sealed for god knows how long.

With the one that PL sent me I have 2 VR's now and 1 phone....

Personally I am new to the watch and would prefer to have a watch and a VR lo instead of having 2 VR's.
 
Submitted 3/16
Approved online 3/18
Email Approval 4/7

Finally label creation in FDM. Waiting on 2 watches and the package weighs in at 1.6 pounds. Seems to be matching up with some others expecting the same. Finally!

Were we supposed to do this threw Verizon rebate center or Samsung promotion page? Like Verizon is now offering a 50' TV with purchase of 2 s7, or buy a s6,s7,note5 get a vr. One is through Samsung promotion page and one is through vzw rebate page.
 
I just got off of the phone with PrizeLogic, and surprise surprise, still unhelpful. Apparently, "other people are waiting too, unfortunately, its a waiting game". I tried to escalate, supervisor was just as incompetent as the rep that answered. Same story as before, "Your gifts have been sent to Samsung's third party shipper." I asked four times if there was contact information for the shipper, or if she knew the name of the shipper, all no. I'm seriously considering calling BrightPoint and seeing if they can track anything.

Our promotion was done through Samsung's page- which is why Verizon was refusing to help out most of us.
