Note 20 Ultra pre-order thread!

Thanks for the heads up on Rakuten cashback increase. When I placed the order it was 3%.

So did all the dance again and now 10% cancel offer, 10% rakuten cashback, 7% employer discount. Raking up discounts lol

For my earlier order cashback was confirmed within few hours and was deposited into rakuten account. Let's see if the 10% cashback confirms by tomorrow and deposits into rakuten account. For S20, we had to wait few weeks and multiple follow ups with Rakuten to get the 10% credited to the account.

How did you get the 10% rakuten if you placed the order when it was 3%? Did you cancel your order and then reorder? If so, how did you get the 10% ($100) cancel offer?

I was going to cancel my preorder too when I saw that the Rakuten rebate went up, but I decided to keep the Samsung order and take the 10% Samsung cancel offer - which I guess makes it all come out even. But, I'd love to get he 10% Rakuten vs. the 3% too if I can.

So, basically wondering - if you placed your order at 3%, how did you get the 10% w/o canceling the Samsung order (where you got the other 10%)?

Do I make sense? lol :)
 
Is anyone thinking that there may be better deals after release? maybe closer to the holidays? the $150 credit samsung is offering for a future purchase doesn't entice me as i already have a galaxy watch and don't use the buds.
 
I forgot to add quote. Where is this deal? I have exact trade in. And how did you get the final discount to bring it down to $584? Thanks

I got discount through my work. Then cancelled my order, and put lower price for the reason. Offered me an additional 10% off. The additional 10% will be refunded.

Ok great. That's an awesome deal. The closest I think for me is the best buy thru Verizon. But won't get extra discount. But congrats on an awesome deal! Thanks

Plus I have Rakuten, so I'm getting another 10% back from them.
 
the regular Note is embarrassing especially the price they asking

I'm so pissed! Was looking at getting the base Note 20 same as I did with Note 10 because of size( I hate how big the phones are getting) but after seeing the awful storage option, half of what my 10 has no way. I'm skipping Samsung this year. Not interested in the bigger Ultra and certainly not paying so much for half the storage of my current phone. Hard pass Samsung!
 
I'm starting to get a Bad taste in my Mouth.
And want to Say Samsumg su_'s with their pricing.
Don't care if the phone will clean the house.
 
I also jumped on this wagon and got the Rakuten 10% off already in my account. Also splurged on the watch with $200 credit from Samsung. Now it's time to wait...
 
FWIW, I was able to get an additional 5% off (stacked with edu discount and $200 credit) with the following code: ref-dbw4xg

Note that this only works for first time orders. So you could try creating a new account with a different email if you already have an existing account with previous orders!
 
My business checking account just got hit for the full amount!! So, are they getting the phones ready to ship? If I'm correct last time they didn't ping my account that fast or for the full amount.

I know , the regular Note 20 has too much against it and then that price tag , Samsung really needs to wake up , i dont usually get those models but I feel very disappointed what they did to that , not for plastic back or little more bezel and roundness but everything else .

As soon as i hit pre-order it took the full amount from my account .
 
I got full account charged as well on my credit card, but as always that's a pending charge it'll drop off in a few days and will get charged again before it ships. If it's PayPal or checking account it'll be taken out now itself at the time of order.

We go thru with this dance every 6 months, no they aren't shipping your phone in a day or two. As usual we will get it on Wednesday 19th or may be Tuesday/Monday. But they aren't shipping this week

For 10% Rakuten, you install rakuten browser extension, create an account and activate the discount. It'll pop up to activate the 10% discount when you visit Samsung.com from your browser, just make sure you have logged in to rakuten account in the extension. Note it's not an immediate discount, it's a cash back and you will get in a few weeks to months to be credited from rakuten to your PayPal or via check. There is Rakuten app as well if you want to use that.

For 10% cancellation offer. Just try to cancel your order saying you found better price somewhere else and Samsung will prompt giving you 10% off your order if you don't cancel. Just accept that offer and you'll get the 10% off immediately reflected on your order.

At this point i have placed three orders. Cancelled two and kept my order from yesterday.

And I'm tired trying all the various combinations for different discounts
 
I think it'll since it's already credited to the rakuten account. But yeah you are right you never know, they can come back later and say order was cancelled and cashback is not valid.

But I don't think Samsung or Rakuten is competent enough to have integrated systems which will trigger those signals. If I have to guess it'll most likely stick, let's see.
Yeah, the last time I think it worked differently. It would be hiliarious if you could keep doing it.
 
Well last night I ordered the Supcase Unicorn Beetle for my phone and it will be he tomorrow so I will at least get an idea how big the phone will be.

How do you get prompt for 10% off if you cancel
Which selection do I choose and when does the offer appear. I hate to hit cancel and lose my order
