Get a free Gear S2 with the purchase of a Verizon S7/S7 Edge

[Madadd33]

I just called in this morning to a sales rep. It was really just to ask how porting over a number (from att to verizon) would work during signing up for this deal. The rep said she could take care of all of it over the phone. I asked a handful of times about making sure I would still be eligible for the S2 and how it states it's online only, etc. She assured me over the phone was fine, that the promotion is held over at samsung and all you needed was the pre-order confirmation number.

Like some of you, I recorded the call. I asked her to put a note on file assuring eligibility for the S2, though I don't believe she did (instead just reassuring me I was). I'm a little worried, partly because I've now read this thread (thanks for that, ha!), but I feel confident that if there are any issues they will be resolved. Personally I've had a good track record of using the BBB in situations like this to get resolution, so that's where I'll be going if this falls through.

So we can't submit the rebate until we receive the phone? I thought I read that someone already redeemed theirs and someone else even received the watch already?

The rules state that you must submit a claim form (which should be live on March 4th). You have to include the IMEI and WiFi MAC address on the claim form, which means you would either need physical possession of the device or somehow get those identifiers from the carrier before you could submit a claim. After that, rules state the unit will ship 4-6 weeks after they receive and validate your claim.

Does anyone know if we have a color choice for the S2?

Is Verizon the only carrier offering promos for the S7/S7 Edge?

The terms and conditions say no. You will get whatever is available.

I had the issue of pre-ordering online and the order would not go through last week so I had to do it over the phone. I spoke with a virtual assistant today that I would indeed be eligible for the S2 promotion and they even notated my account.

I just went to the samsungpromotions.com/verizonoffer and the registration is already there. You need the IMEI number and wifi mac address. Verizon hasn't even shipped the phones out yet.

I assume there's no way of getting that info from Verizon before actually receiving the phone?

I have been told three different things by three different Verizon Reps. 1. Yes you need to wait for the device to refister. 2. You will receive an email with the phone info needed to register at the begining of March and 3. the S2 is based on a contract with Samsung and if you preorder during the promotion then you will receive a S2.

IMHO I don't beleive anyone at Verizon has a clue of what is what and they do not really care.

I want to know the best way to sell the Gear S2 when (or if) i get it so i can get a Moto 360 2. Any ideas?

I read on the terms it was the grey one.

I ordered my edge over the phone because I had a pre-paid account and it wouldn't let me do it online. I purchased a two year contract and equipment device payments. Will I still be eligible for the Gear S2 even though I didn't purchase online?

In my conversation with customer service yesterday they told me I would be eligible for the watch even though I ordered on the phone.

I just walked into my local vzw store (wilmington,nc) to check out the S7 in person. Began to talk it up with the sales guy about the promo. They said if I ordered it today they would give me the gear S2 for free on the spot. I ordered the phone (told it would be delivered BY the 11th). And they handed me my new gear S2 watch. Free of charge! They are honoring the promo in stores. Super excited to figure this thing out. I'm coming from bare bones iPhone 5s so this will be a huge jump up for me. Both the phone and watch seem awesome. Super smooth! Now I'm eagerly waiting to get my phone so I can sync up this watch.
To all those wondering, it may not hurt to give your local store a go when it comes to ordering.

That's awesome. Wishing I did that now. there's no way to cancel our order and place it in stores right?

Worth a shot as long as your local store is down to help you out. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
