Is Sam's Club deal best?

[Airmaxxx]

Received same email. $150 + $50 is ok for a slight delay.

I pre ordered but was put on the wait list as well as my husband. We both got calls today to tell us we were on the waitlist. I said ok do you have any estimated date we may get our phones? The lady said no. I said well my main concern was making sure I received the 150$ gift cards. She said they SHOULD still honor the promo but had no further details until they get everything tomorrow the 19th. I don't know what to do. So I have no idea when we will get ours or if the promo will still be valid. Kinda mad right now. I planned on using our gift cards to get a new mattress. No one can give me an answer or when we will get the phones or if we are guaranteed the gift cards.

Got the same ..... I have no problem if there isn't 3 more of these email .... although if each one had $50 more it wouldn't be so bad. Hopefully though my Target pre-order will come through (although I doubt that as well) as that's worth $300 in GC's and trade-in.

I got my pre-ordered phone from Sam's Club today. Sprint upgrade with 2 year contract. Did not get a $150 gift card. They said it didn't qualify. I'm trying to get Sam's Club corporate to honor it. If they don't I'll return the phone & get the blue model I wanted anyway from Sprint directly for the same price.

Turns out Sam's doesn't do business accounts, so I had to go to Verizon store. No gift card, no SD card, no gearfit. Booooo! But I finally got the phone, and my company pays for it.

Did they say why they wouldn't honor it? I just got an email from Sam's saying that they are offering the $150 gift card from anyone that activates the phone from the 19th-28th.

 

[Nags24]

Wow! They've really dropped the ball on this. I am going in later today for mine will let you know what they tell me.

No, just "doesn't qualify" even though I had the email with me that showed the terms. Told me that if I paid 24 installments of roughly $35 instead of $349 today, I would get it. Not going to happen. I would have walked away but phone was already activated & it would take long time to reverse it. This was after I had to wait for salesperson to arrive at 9 am even though email said 7 am. Just saw on another forum that someone was told that Sam's Club decided to change the offer after pre-orders were already taken to only include those paying on an installment plan.

Wow!! What difference does it make.

Yup, lady at SC showed me the email they received from corporate. It only applies to phones bought on installment plans. NOT what the fine print said when I preordered it.

Just picked up my AT&T black N7. The phone was delivered to the store at 10am today, so got the $150 gift card and the extra $50 gift card is coming via email in the next few day b/c the phone wasn't available earlier this morning. Loving the upgrade over the N4.

Did they send you and email saying it was ready for pick up or did you just go in and pick it up?

 

[Airmaxxx]

Called the store this morning around 8am and the rep called me back around 10am letting me know it was delivered.

Has anyone received an ATT device? My store is telling me the other carriers came in but the ATT phones have not.

And this is the reason why I boycott the N7 as a T-Mobile user. We get screw over so hard with no deal. Congrats on your purchase and GC. I'm jealous but I'm waiting for my A7 to arrive.

My wife just picked up her silver AT&T Note 7 at our local club.

Yup - if you are a 2-year contract customer, you don't get the $150 gift card.
Bummer.
Still bought it though. Between the $40 activation waiver, $20 Samsung pay gift and the free Fit 2/256gb micro sd offer, it's hard to say it's a bad deal.

BTW: I went back and looked at the fine print on the webpage where I did my Sam's Club pre-order, and sure enough, it says "installment only".

That's what the webpage says now. That's not what it said when they first started taking pre-orders. I still have the email confirmation from the day I placed the pre-order and it has the original terms that did not say installment only.

Could you post a copy of that - without your personal information of course?

I remember it said installment or contract, it surprised me that contracts were included.
