Ugh. Not to sure about that. The earlier message said the gift was already processed and in route. This message is saying they haven't processed the gift yet.
Gear VR Promotion Success/Failure Thread: please post whether you are successful ...
- Thread starter Dualmonitors
- Start date
they are just trying to cover them self's. but they will one day send out all the gifts and we will get them we just got to wait for it.
"Congratulations! Your submission has been approved and we are currently processing your gift for delivery."
Why are we going backwards....

This is pretty silly, some people already got theirs one day made a huge difference of when you will get it. Plus the trick worked to get people to buy at $700 a phone. Big time cash. Free Netflix is cool though.
Does your still say Shipping Date: Pending? Next Tuesday makes 4 weeks so I'm not mad or anything yet mostly just anxious.
I feel your pain on that...this silver edge is a really nice looking phone....when I ordered it I thought I'd be taking a big chance at missing out on the s2 because my estimated shipping date was 3/31...which I believe was the original deadline for the promotion...luckily got my phone much sooner though...excited bout getting this watch!

I've been following this thread, so I wanted to share my good news!
Ordered the phone: 2/29
Submitted for Gear S2: 3/11
Approved: 3/18
Received tracking number: 4/14
FedEx to deliver: 4/19
By the way, did not have any e-mails saying this, nor anything showing in FedEx Delivery Manager. Got this information solely from the "check status" page on Samsung's website.

I submitted 3/9 and 3/22. Finally have a label for one, but no updates from the site
They probably received tons of calls for tracking numbers since it sounded like they shipped, and then changed it back
Finally seeing some action!

FedEx to deliver to Chico, CA from Plainfield, IN: 4/20
Like most of you my status was bouncing all over the place and customer support kept replying with auto responses to all of my questions. I have no problem waiting for the watch but some solid customer support would have made a big difference.

Don't put too much stock in what the check status page depicts........
The first one that says it is currently in route was delivered 2 weeks ago(the tracking number was added to the check status page about 2 days ago), the second one that says gift is currently processing was notified by FedEx it left Indianapolis last night and is in transit in Zionsville, In right now..... FedEx Delivery Manager is much better guide than Samsung, Prize Logic or VZW on the status....

What a joke, the status site means nothing, it changes everyday. 2 of mine went backwards from being "in route" to being "processed", of course I never thought they were in route to begin with. I guess we will get them when we get them. At least I did get the watch, just waiting on the 2 VR's. The tracking number for the watch was posted to the status site a week after I received it, never received an e-mail saying it was on its way. While I love my phone, Samsung has lost me in the future with the way this promotion has been handled.
Received my second s2 today- finally! First one was received 4/9, second one today 4/15. Submitted 3/11. Instant approval.
I won't avoid Samsung just because of this. However, if I am on the fence on a purchase, and the promotion was the thing that would push me into purchasing (as was in this case!) I definitely will not, unless I know they have ditched prize logic.
Ahh another of the innumerous ways the internet has changed the world and how the world has yet stayed the same. As a child I remember sending away for a free thing on a cereal box and not receiving it until the bitter disappointment of a timely return had faded.
Odd how in a world where I can get an update when pizza I ordered ten minutes ago is in the oven, I can still be utterly left in the dark on the status of my smart watch.
The internet has only allowed me to properly gauge how badly the process can go for myself and others. Just a few years ago the ability to find out the status of other participants and the details of their orders would have been difficult and thus companies like Prizelogic could operate in a manner that was obscured from view. Now it is quite different.
Prizelogic has gained a lifelong driveby troll from this participant. Whenever I see some contest/rebate opportunity organized by them I’ll be sure to let people know about bad my experience was. Just another grain of salt in an ocean.
I look forward to the Note 6 launch!

Is it backward? Maybe "in route" meant in route from SE Asia, on a slow boat across the Pacific with a layover in Japan, before stopping at the terminal in California, clearing US Customs, paying whatever tariff, waiting on overland logistics to send a truck to pick it up, bring it cross country to Indiana, inventory the lot, put FedEx routing labels on each one of thousands, then scheduling for pickup. All that said ours probably isn't on that one. It's on the next (or next to last) slow boat from China or wherever! LOL
I have to say, your way of looking at it is better. And I have to admit that in a couple of years when I decide I want a new phone, I won't remember any of this and will just go for what looks best to me at that time, be it Samsung or whoever!
