Wow, it sucks that other people had to cheat the system by creating fake IMEIs, in some cases stealing real Note 3 owner's IMEIs, in order to get something they weren't actually entitled to. Getting a freebie is always nice, and yeah $50 on Google Play is pretty good, but still, people shouldn't lie, cheat, and steal to get one. When they do that, things like this happen -- offers get shut down, and people who actually should have been able to take advantage of them can't anymore. I'm sorry to hear not all of us were able to get one, and I agree that those who got a confirmation code should be getting a credit code. I'm not really sure why Samsung isn't honoring those, at least. But yeah, I guess this means the next similar promotion will be even harder to get, which also kind of sucks.
