Just submitted my preorder!

[T48]

I'm taking a risk trading in my phone as I've read the horror stories of phones getting stolen in transit to the Assurant facility in Tennessee that AT&T uses for all their trade-ins. Although I might try bring my old phone to a corporate store first.

A neighbor that worked at an ATT corp store mentioned to do just that last year. I will be doing the same. Good luck.

Yep. Ordered my S24 Ultra 512gb in titanium grey.

Looks awesome. Also looks to have pretty much all Pixel AI features which I really didn't think it'd have. Now I'm not sure what advantage a Pixel would have and don't see a reason to go back to it if all the AI stuff makes it to the Galaxy anyway.

S24 plus on Friday. Fast process, so the website delays are clearly over. I never got that reservation email. But I had $75 credit, so I got two samsung cases and anti reflective screen protectors which I likely won't use. But they were included with the cases.

The 45W charger wasn't even shown.

I want to order this phone so bad but I can't afford it. I'm dying on the inside. I did so good ignoring the s23. Lol

I can afford it, and I'm still sitting tight. I'd love to have the new flat screen, but I have other things that I absolutely need first. (e.g., new fridge coming today). The bride will remain on her S23U and I'll hold with my S22U.

That sounds like the wrong priorities to me!!! LOL

I've been watching for you to show up. I held out on the s23 also but I caved in on the s24.

Hang in there! There will always be another new & improved model just around the corner when you are ready. As @Katrina White1 said, stay strong.

Just preordered 512GB S24U from Samsung. All but 3 colors are pushed back to sometime in March for delivery now, those three being my two least favorite (green and blue), and fortunately my favorite (violet).

Going to be a massive upgrade from my Pixel 7 Pro, and with a delivery date set for 1/31

Mine was actually built in. Crazy I know.

My husband didn't neither we both RSVP'd mine kept changing from 100 to 150 they said their was a glitch on there site who knows. I finally got it to say $150 and just got the buds to be done with it they were free. My husband's kept saying a 100 but his app said you have $150 credit it was weird their supposed to be giving him credit once we get charged but we'll see.

Wanted to share something I accidentally stumbled onto today that helped reduce the price of my order of my S24 Ultra.

Was having issues ordering via my phone, then on my laptop using Chrome as my browser. I remember listening to TechOdyssey's YouTube videos this week and he said use the Edge browser. So I was already going through the Rakuten website and then to Samsung, to make sure I got my 12% cashback.

After my order was finalized I got an email that I was collecting Microsoft cashback for the order as well. I must have had the plug-in for that on my Edge browser. Went to go to check my Microsoft cashback account and they were paying 10% cashback on Samsung purchases. Says it will take 7 days to post to my account officially, right now it shows as pending.

So, with those two cashbacks factored in, trading in my S23 Ultra, the educator discount (which I may or may not be in the gray area to qualify for ), I got out the door for a net total $440. That's the lowest I've gotten a new phone from Samsung in probably four years. I'm probably screwing myself of getting these double cashbacks in the future by sharing it with you all...but we are a community so if it helps someone else great.

I don't think we can get both.....my Microsoft says pending and will be ready to cash out 4/17
My rakuten does not say pending any longer and says Samsung did not provide cash back

Check yours and let me know

@Mike Dee!! I was hoping you'd show up for pre-ordered. Nice to see you here! I miss your insights!

BerryNice!!!! What color did you get?

 

[Mike Dee]

I tired to get both credits, we will see if they both go thru

Chech your Rakuten....mine no longer says pending and states Samsung did not provide cash back

Well it kind of solved itself. Microsoft Rewards appears to be a scam. Just have done further research. Even had we not gotten the credit already from Rakuten, it doesn't appear getting the 10% cashback from Microsoft would have been easy. Lots of reports online with people sharing their experiences.

I did get credited cashback from Samsung. But I followed up with them right after the purchase last week about it.

Rakuten, is still there. I don't even know where to check the Microsoft one...LOL
