Thank you very much
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] NYCguy2020:
I just got the Note yesterday and tried to register my device with no luck. It keeps telling me invalid serial No :( contacted their customer support and haven't heard back yet. Very frustrating.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kenhicg:
Thanks for this. My daughter just received her credit.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] lanwarrior:
I am going to Note 8.0 next week.

Is there a time limit to get the $25 Google Play credit and 50GB Dropbox storage?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] NYCguy2020:
It's been 5 days since I contacted Samsung and still no credit :(
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kable:
I there a $25.00 credit for people that import a 3G version into the U.S?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] lanwarrior:
That's not good. Samsung should be more consistent AND informative on when and how to get the credit.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] pluginalong:
Staples indicates "Offer valid through July 6, 2013".

Google play credit adventure

I have yet to receive my credit. I contacted Samsung 2 weeks ago. After 2 chats, ongoing Facebook messaging, and a phone call, I have yet to receive anything. Their complaint: I have to have a valid google account. I use Google apps with my own [MENTION=548242]domain[/MENTION].com. That is what I have all of my googley stuff through. Now I am waiting for a call from a supervisor to see if we can resolve the issue. This is the hardest I have ever had to fight for a measly $25.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] NYCguy2020:
I have no problems with google account. What I got while registering was an error message telling me that the Serial No. and MAC address are invalid (I got mine from BestBuy)..the tech support guys claimed there is a glitch on the registering site an their engineers are working on a fix.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] EiZaNz:
is there any idea to get this on 3g version? (n5100)

the register form was only for n5110 version (wifi)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] lanwarrior:
Anyone bought from staples and got the credit?

Also, how do you get the 50GB DropBox promo? I already have DropBox and wants to add that 50GB to my existing account.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sumer11:

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] PharaohsVizier:
Pretty painless for me, got my code instantly. What sucks though is that the code doesn't work in Canada. So if anyone wants to buy my $25 for like $20 on paypal or something, give me a PM.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] janjannsen99:
Same experience almost instant

Has anyone from Canada been able to receive the gift card?

Would I be able to do so on my account that is all setup as Canadian?\

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] PharaohsVizier:
I got the gift card just fine, I'm running a Canadian device, Canadian account, etc. However I can't actually use the card...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] 1username4thisforum:
What happens when you try to use it?

How did you register for and recieve it?

I've asked Samsung Canada if there are any perks for Canada, waiting for a reply.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ghatothkach:
Well it fails verification for MAC for me too...

Tried it on linux chrome, windows explorer linux firefox... and also stock browser on android gs2 ...

what browser does it work ? Mac Safari only ?

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] eyecon82:
none that i can find...i just ended up exchanging my tablet and entered in the new serial and mac and it recognized it....samsung has issues
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] 1username4thisforum:
My model code is not listed on the Register page :(
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ghatothkach:
Well the Serial number does not work on

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/request

as well..

also the serial number is printed on a paper sticker on the back of the tablet, which now suggests that a brand name online retailer sold me some mock off.. or what...

or its just samsung...

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] NYCguy2020:
14 days and counting..still no fix for this issue.I've contacted customer support like 4-5 times in the past 2 weeks and still no gift card :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] fbueller:
Does anyone know how to get the serial # off this thing using the OS? Unlike most Samsung Galaxy hardware, I can't find it in the About section of Settings. I bought mine used without a box so I don't know how to retrieve the serial.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] eyecon82:
Nope, there is no other way
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] hudman:
Should be printed on the back cover on the bottom. The serial number on mine matched the paper sticker that was on the back. It is a little hard to see but it should be there.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] darkcell:
my model is gt-n5100 and it's not listed there...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] fbueller:
OMG, right in front of my face the whole time. You're right, it's almost impossible to see. Thanks, it worked!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] PharaohsVizier:
I registered with the same link as the original post. I got the email with the code and everything. But when I try and redeem it on the Play Store it says it's not available in my country. Sure I can probably open a US account, but still not worth the hassle of having 2 separate Google accounts.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] eyecon82:
Hook it up :)

Anyhow, i finally got one after I emailed the consumerist samsung email account and got am email with a code. They just skipped the whole registering process in whole
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] NYCguy2020:
Why couldn't they do that for me??! I've been in contact with the ****ers for the past 17 days over this issue.:mad:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] brochs:
What's up with that? Here in Norway we don't get **** when we buy Note 8.0 :what:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] gshaw1967:
How to get refund if you receive an error.

Well, it took me over 3 weeks to get the $25 dollar credit. If you use the email or chat, you can forget about getting the $25 credit. Samsung will only answer if you contact me via Facebook. I really hate facebook and I just couldn't believe that Samsung would require you to use Facebook, but they do. When I finally got tired of opening tickets via chat one facebook message and I got a $25 code in 3 hrs.

Save yourself some time and get with them via facebook.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] pluginalong:
I tried to register today and experienced the same thing. My observation was that it only marked the serial number as invalid after I entered the MAC address, so my hunch is that they have an algorithm that is computing something off of both of those combined, and when that fails (as it seems to do with some combinations) it then considers both the serial number and the MAC to be invalid.

Given what I've read in this forum about how long this has dragged out I just went ahead and called Samsung (1-800-726-7864). The person I spoke to was pretty helpful (within the limits of what he could do), but in addition to creating my ticket (which he passed on to the people who are supposed to be able to manually enter me in the system) he was able to confirm that my serial number is valid which I appreciated (though I would have been shocked if it were not valid given that I had purchased from Amazon).

He said I should hear something within 2-3 business days. I'll let you all know how it turns out.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] fbueller:
Just curious - the email you receive with the code says "Promotional codes must be redeemed within 90 days of issuance". Do you think that means that you need to enter it on the Google Play website before then, but once in your account it'll sit in there forever? Or that 90 days after the promotion is issued expires and is pulled from your account even if you've already put it in the redeem box on Google Play after 90 days?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] eyecon82:
Good question
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] fbueller:
Bad answer. :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] pluginalong:
On a whim I decided to try again to register via the Samsung website (on the Perks page) and amazingly it worked this time, and I received my code several minutes later! :D I don't know whether my phone call was at all related, but regardless they must have made some changes to their website coding because I was pasting in the exact same values this most recent time as I had been previously.

For any of you all who still haven't been able to register I'd suggest trying again. And if it still fails I'd recommend calling Samsung to try to escalate things.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] acid123:
It's 90 days to enter the code, you can take your time spending it
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kregar:
I will give you my take:

I bought the Note 8 today.

I received the 50 % off coupon as well.

To receive the DropBox credit all that was required: In Dropbox App, under settings, select, "Watch a video about Dropbox". As soon as I hit play on the video, I received an email telling me I had an exra 48 gb.. Not 50 gb, but close enough!

I have contacted Samsung via Facebook to see if they will send me the redemption code.

Will keep ya'll posted!

kregar
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ammarr:
Worked for me for a device bought at BestBuy Canada. Created a new US account to redeem the code. Since Play Store already supports multiple accounts, using it to buy apps really isn't much of a hassle.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ghatothkach:
worked for me too...

I still have to figure how to get the $25 playstore credit
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] k000:
I did coulpe other things via their dropbox account link and have 50GB... but is this 50GB only for 2 years ? and then have to pay?

I didn't see this 2 year on any page until I got the final email...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] GhorX:
No way to get creadit for me, register page says "invalid password" when i use my Samsung account () and invalid SN and MAC when i let create new account. I will call support, but i think this is semi-fake.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] pluginalong:
I found that if I temporarily changed my Samsung password to a shorter/different one that it worked with the form. But that won't resolve the SN & MAC issue.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] k000:
If you can't login even directly then it's not an issue with the offer but account credentials.

I got my $25 credit email in 5 minutes.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] GhorX:
Changing password solved first problem, now I waiting for Samsung support reply. Thx.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] pluginalong:
:) You're welcome! Glad that worked for you! Once you've made contact with Samsung (ie, reached an actual person) I'd suggest periodically trying the site once or twice every day or so after making contact. In my experience it seemed that something got fixed on their end before I heard anything back from them. I don't know for certain if it was a result of my reporting my problems, but it seems possible it was related (ie, perhaps they made corrections to their system so that the site would accept my info).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] 1username4thisforum:
Where are you guys contacting Samsung to get the credit?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] modesty1:
This doesnt apply to n5100? The 3g version? My model is not listed there, any way around this
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] barrmulio:
I didn't get the $25 email after registering either, or the dropbox 48Gb (I had a prior dropbox account)

So I contacted Samsung this morning via email and no response yet

Contacted via facebook messaging and got response within minutes, and after providing the details (model, wifi mac, serial, etc) got the google play redemption code very quickly....A++ for support: https://www.facebook.com/samsungsupport

----

As for dropbox, the person on facebook said we need to deal with them - edit: I was finally able to get the 48Gb extra (it's the 2Gb + 48Gb for 2 years) - went to settings and uninstalled any updates to dropbox, then went back to the system dropbox app and cleared data, went to accounts - click on dropbox and removed my account, then went back in to the original samsung version and setup my account, went to play store to upgrade, reboot, and voilá...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] exibm:
they have issues....

Just got off the phone with Samsung (for the 3rd time) about this issue. They acknowledged that they are having a problem with registrations for their 'Perks' ($25 Google Play credit). It's obvious to me because when I go to my Samsung account, there are two N8's registered in my name - one is correct and the other is a non-US model. They assured me that a supervisor will be calling me within 24 hours to straighten this out. Yeah, right. BTW, I have also done the Facebook thing - nothing seems to be working.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] GMAN1722:
I must be one of the lucky ones in regards to getting the $25 credit as I got it right away. Was your Dropbox account via a previous promotion? The reason why I ask is that I did exactly as you said but I didn't get the 48gb ( but I did receive that promotion previously via my Note 2)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] rtod4edw:
Thanks! I didn't get the Google Play credit after trying to register using the link to the Google Play promotion. I registered at Samsung site where I had already registered my Galaxy S4. Then saw the link here to Facebook Samsung support. FB message to them and supplied the information via FB. That was easy! Got my $25 Play credit. :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Enokrad:
Got mine in under an hour by applying on their web site. Might have helped that I had created the Samsung account as soon as I bought the device and applied for the credit about 3 weeks later.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] barrmulio:
I did have a prior promotion - but can't remember if it was HTC or Sammy - but i remember using the international apk because verizon didn't have the promotion which got blacklisted after a few months. But per the conversation with dropbox support, it should still work even if you had a prior promotion - I had to uninstall all updates and clear data/cache and it worked just fine using the app version that came with the note.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] PIRATA!:
I'm sorry...I'd this offer (25$ + 48Gb extra on Dropbox) worldwide??

I'm from Italy..

Can I have it too??

Thank you all.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] GMAN1722:
The $25 Google Play is for the US Wifi version only. I'm not sure about the drop box promotion
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] bibi_50:
Hello

Here in Belgium, I received the 48. Gb Dropbox space .
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] azulpiscina:
Brazil here,

received 50gb on dropbox, but no playstore giftcard =(
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] eyecon82:
It's only for America
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] GreatLachlan:
Why does it have to be only for the US? Australia hasn't even got Play Store gift cards in shops yet (soon to be). I'll bet there are many more places that don't have gift cards. For a multimillion dollar company, with millions of users on android, especially young users that can't have credit cards, they're really not putting a lot of money into Google play.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] madsquabbles:
haven't gotten my free space. i think it may have to do with the fact that i got 50GB when i had my gn10.1. it should at least update the expiration date. i barely use 100MB currently so it's no real biggie.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] eyecon82:
yep same here...they don't stack them..once you get 50gb from another device, they don't add it on if you buy another device....dropbox sucks!!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] azulpiscina:
Just a quick info here. they dont give the 25giftcard on play but you do receive 25 reais (aprox. 10 dolars) on the Samsung store.

Galaxy note 8 5100 Brasil.

I guess they did this because in Brasil play store do not have gift cards...

Has anyone been successful in getting the other two perks they added on the US site? The 3 months of Hulu Plus and 1yr of Boingo Wifi Hotspots? Does anyone know if these are supposed to come in a separate email?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] fbueller:
Nothing on either, I'd love a year of Boingo...didn't even know about it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] eyecon82:

I have a $25 giftcard that's been sitting in my inbox for a while. I can't use US currency with my Canadian account, so is anyone willing to give me $10 or $15 for the card? Give me a PM if you're interested.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] bigmout:
Anyone manage to get the year of Boingo service? I followed the instructions to sign up about 24 hours ago but never received the promised email.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] eyecon82:
I got an email with all 3 things in 1 email..the $25 play credit, the year of free boingo link, and 3 month hulu plus code

i got it maybe 5 mins after registering
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] elosogrande7076:
Same here....did mine late last night and received an email pretty much instantly. Going to sign up now for them.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] bigmout:
But did you follow the link and sign up with Boingo yet? I did and gave Boingo my info but never heard back.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] eyecon82:
yes i did...i never got an email back either

but you had to set up a user name and password...just download the boingo app and login with that and you should be good to go

I wish they did send you an email though..but they dont....but you can still login with the username/password you created when clicking that link in the email to initially set it up
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] PharaohsVizier:
Blehhh I assume its too late for people who registered long ago when the device was released? Boingo would be pretty sweet.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] exibm:
Good news for those of us who bought our gn8 prior to the announcement of the Boingo and Hulu perks. I received this in an e-mail today from a Samsung rep and it works!:

To redeem the 3 Month Hulu Plus trial membership, please visit the Google Play Store from your eligible device. The app will recognize that you’re visiting from an eligible Galaxy tablet and will allow you to create a new account and receive the offer. You will need a credit card to sign up for this feature. Upon creating a new account, you will be able to enjoy three months of Hulu Plus Service for free!

To receive your one year access to Boingo’s Wi-Fi, please visit www.boingo.com/galaxyperks, and create new sign on credentials when prompted. Download the Boingo App from the Google Play store, and log in to your account. Choose Existing Users and sign in to begin utilizing this promotion!

Please note that both of these promotions require that you create these credentials on the actual Note itself.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] eyecon82:
interesting...i registered one before the hulu and boingo promotion and I never got that email...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] exibm:
Same with me. I contacted Samsung customer service when I found out about the new 'Perks' and I received the response I posted above. I now have 3 months of Hulu Plus and a year of Boingo. It works :cool:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] eyecon82:
how long did it take to get that email after contacting them?

___________________________________________________

Also, I know you have to regsiter the boingo and hulu through your tablet.......but once you create your username, password, and account...can you only use it on your tablet, or would the same sign on work for other devices, like a computer, phone, etc?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] exibm:
You don't need to contact Samsung, just follow the directions in my previous post and you'll get the new perks. Also, as far as I can tell, you have full Hulu and Boingo access on all of your devices. I have tested it on tablet, phone and PC.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] eyecon82:
It won't let me re-register, says email has already been used
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] exibm:
Did you try both Hulu and Boingo? Which one is saying you are already registered?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] eyecon82:
it wont even let me get past the registration page.......first it says email is used...when i use another gmail, it says the serial has already been registered

without that, i can't even get the links to hulu and boingo
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] exibm:
Ok, now I think I understand the issue. Your tablet is registered with Samsung... so was mine. You don't need to go to Samsung now. With your Galaxy tablet, go to the Google Play store and download and launch the Hulu app - it will detect that you are using an eligible device and allow you to register for your 3-month free subscription (but you'll still have to enter your credit card info). Next, go to http://www.boingo.com/galaxyperks and follow the prompts to create a userID. Then download the Boingo app from Google Play, sign in and have fun. Easy.

I live in the Netherlands. Would it somehow be possible for me to also receive this gift card?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] brecklundin:
not sure if anyone mentioned this but for the Hula plus "free" 3 months if you have an existing / previous account it seems you have to create a NEW account as this "perk" is for NEW accounts only. Hardly a "penk"though easy to navigate around.

off to create a " free" Gmail account for my three month "free" Hulu Plus " perk".

The point of my scarcasm is just how many here never created a Hulu faetrial in the past? d did when Hulu was new and got ehff'all of 2-weeks free trial, That was one a decade ago as I recall & they lost me asacustomer when content became so fragmented between Android,mobile,desktop & Hulu plus. I would think they * wood * want to try to sceduce me back as acustomer so why make this conditional? Just give us 3-months free.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] eyecon82:
they require a credit card, so make sure you put a note in your calendar to cancel by then or they will charge you

i didn't do it, so im not sure if you can cancel it beforehand and still use the 3 months for free
