On Verizon site right now ordering and there are no gifts

[skatergirl]

Verizon goes by EST time I think.

My email receipt says pacific time. Now I wait on chat again so they can fix it. I am on hold right now on the phone.

 

[skatergirl]

Thus why I'm going to avoid the preorder drama despite the gifts ?!?!

Not for nothing this is the easy part !!

Wait for those " Delivery " threads where everyone is refreshing their browsers every 20 secondd for an update of shipped or out for delivery haaaaa !!!!

Since you are still awake you should join in on the drama

I was under the impression that getting a 2 year contract also raised your bill roughly $30 a month. The old math I saw when they first did away with 2 year contracts showed people saved roughly $40 over two years by paying for the phone in full with installments and getting a discount on their service. Also, the 2 year contract charges a $40 activation fee. I'm paying the phone off in full with an American Express Blue Cash Everyday card and I'll get 10% back as a statement credit. But I do wish they'd show the promos, because if the 256 SD card isn't included, that's gonna offset my savings using my card to buy it through Verizon.

On the current Verizon plan it would raise the cost by $20/mo


On my legacy nationwide plan, there is no cost increase for going on contract. I pay $24 for 100 gigs of data plus another $15 for voice coverage and get subsidized phones (ie note 7 at $300)

I'd be surprised if Samsung doesn't honor the fact that you put in your order on 8/2 vs 8/3. Probably easier to just call Samsung directly and ask them if it's ok if the receipt is dated 8/2. Samsung Promotions

My thoughts exactly...not sure why they would reject a order placed on 8/2.

Well the terms and conditions say Aug. 3. My email says the order was placed Aug. 2. Online in my accounts page it says it was placed the 3rd. A really nice rep on the phone is trying to contact Samsung for me.

I can't imagine much hair pulling 8/2 vs 8/3, especially if Samsung knows pre-orders went live at 12AM est. They won't punish people for living in different time zones...

Ok, so the nice Verizon rep called Samsung and Samsung said there would be no problem. So, I am GOOD TO GO! Got my blue Note 7 with expected ship date 8/19.

OK, Got my Verizon Note 7 in Black preordered. Verizon moved my upgrade date up to today so the Note 7 only cost me $363.00 including tax and a $40.00 upgrade fee. Better than $849.00 My upgrade date was 10/20/2016

I'm off the bed. :-\

You did good ... My brain needs to unwind a bit before I can go to sleep. I am usually long asleep by now.

I did not get that information but in looking at my receipt it is saying my data is $5 more than what it should be. I did the speedy checkout with no plan change.

Thanks for sharing those numbers. I have been wondering if there would be any savings gong with the 2 year contract plan price for the phone and the monthly cost of that plan vs buying a phone outright. I know the activation fee can be waived when you purchase at their online site.

$20 a month for 24 months adds up to $480. Add the $299 and it brings it up to $779. Out of curiosity where did you find the $20/month stat (was it on your checkout page)?
Looks like I'll have to do further research to see if that's the way I want to go...

Did they charge you an early upgrade fee? The $363 seems like an odd number. If you were going with a 2 year contract that would have been $299. Are you paying a $20+ a month fee for 24 months (aka 2 years) which will essentially bring you up around the full price of the phone after those 24 months/2 years? Did you also get a free 256gb card or fit2 watch out of it (to make it a little more worth the cost)?

 

[rushmore]

Best Buy appears to have a better offer for 2 year contract. $390 cost and free 256GB card. Not seeing the card offer with Verizon, but they apparently were supposed to have it.

Anybody pay full price to keep Nationwide unlimited data plan? Any tricks or tips or pitfalls? Did it verify you kept unlimited data?

I'm surprised it cost 864. Verizon phone rep told me 840.

Do you get phone before 19th this way or on the 19th?

Early this morning Verizon was advertising the free watch or sd card, more there is no mention of it. Verizon drop it?
