Perfect!! Thanks so much for your quick response! I'm crossing fingers to get an invite for the Galaxy S10!

I heard people on different forums having problems with carriers unlocking phones bought on Samsung.com because of not having IMEI in their system or whatever. No problem on your end I assume?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
They just didn't want to do it until after a waiting period of activating the phone on their Network (Sprint). After that time, they did it. Just told them I travel and may end up in a place they don't have free roaming in and want to be safe and not have a bunch of fees.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrcaptain23:
Thanks man! I have Sprint too so hopefully it'll be an easy process too if I get chosen!

Here's to hoping both of us get chosen for the Galaxy S10 :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I don’t think you can switch carriers.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] vonDubenshire:
I was able to receive several invitations for myself and some friends who I have converted to Samsung enthusiasts.

Is there any word on how or when to expect (or hope) for more information and invitations to actually participate?

I know it may not happen but I am keeping my fingers crossed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I don't know about y'all, but I am going to try the S10e. I would rather have the finger print scanner in the power button and a flat screen. I don't even use the 2x camera on my Note 9 and having a slightly lesser screen resolution isn't going to be a deal breaker.

Went to the website and they don't have the canary yellow color option available. I must have that color!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] vonDubenshire:
I received one survey today from my several invites to Samsung Insights.

It doesn't guarantee a device but said it HAD to be filled out by Friday (22).

I'm stoked.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Is this the email invitation to refer up to 5 other people or is this the invite to participate in the Samsung Insights for the S10 phones?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DeathlessOne:
This is the email that adds you to their program if you didn't get a referral or an invite. Basically, this happens when you emailed them multiple times asking to be included in the program without any referral. Surprisingly, I've received the same today morning. All it asks is your name, email address, and the current brand (only brand) of the device you're using. Also some questions like you're supposed to use this as primary device if selected and that you agree to pay 50% of the device (either full or financing) if you ever get into the program. Nothing more.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
That is interesting, looks like they will be staying with the 50% off for these phones as well. Hey people if you want to save a few more dollars "pretty much taxes" make sure you look at this website first before buying: https://www.samsung.com/us/shop/discount-program/

.edu accounts are good to go

.us.XX.mil accounts are good to go

I am not sure how work/business email accounts work

They all give the same discount, so it is definitely worth it. **This is US dollars**

S10e: 749.99 marked down to 693.74 - 50% is 346.87 before state taxes

S10: 899.99 marked down to 832.49 - 50% is 416.24 before state taxes

S10+: 999.99 marked down to 924.99 - 50% is 462.49 before state taxes

If anyone has any concerns I have done this for the past two phones that I have received. Zero issues, zero concerns, just do not trade a phone in with this 50% discount.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DeathlessOne:
Yup, seems like they're sticking with the 50% discount.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] vonDubenshire:
The invite.

It is not a guarantee I will be chosen though but that is apparently how it has been in the past.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I have not received a survey yet.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Yeah, think I'll just pass on that phone. Really don't like that pill/pin hole. Not aesthetically pleasing on the eyes at all.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Gunbust3r:
Ebates might shave another 3% off the total, anyone had luck with comboing it with the above?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DeathlessOne:
It should, unless the student discount is one of those 'click the link and the discount automatically applies at checkout' scenario and since ebates follow the same procedure I assume, it might invalidate the cashback. Heck, they can refuse to give you cashback if you used a coupon that's not in their 'coupon list'. I mean those guys have been a lot difficult to deal with after Rakuten bought them.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
I did Ebates and the student with one. Another I did student and discover card cash back. The student discount is applied after the 50% coupon.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] usuki:
Looks like not many getting invitation this time around.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DeathlessOne:
No invitations have been sent.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] usuki:
People reported ordering so thought some may received code.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrcaptain23:
Do you know of anyone that actually got the invitation? (Not just the survey)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] vonDubenshire:
My friend received a new e-mail with a survey like the one a lot of us had last week.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Gunbust3r:
FYI Buds sold out. Offer replaced with $130 credit at Samsung.com shop.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
Emailed Samsung about the S9+ deactivation code and they replied saying my device was activated September 2018, wtf?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] vonDubenshire:
I have not seen anyone post anywhere on the Internet that they received a code or an offer to actually participate yet.

As far as I am aware they are finishing their surveys up with another round, then we will see.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Cloud9000:
It is possible the invitations go out by Friday or next week?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] vonDubenshire:
This is my first year to be invited and get a survey.

Based on what I have read from the past 5 years of launches, it'll be next week sometime. Probably prior to the launch day.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DublinLarry:
Strange... The S9/S9+ round was late March 2018. The Note 9 was Sept 2018...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] t8xan:
I have a T-Mobile Note 9 on insights. I flashed CSAA from ARL1 and now have to downgrade back to ARL1 to get OTA Pie CSB3. Does anyone know if this will create problems with insights or knox configure?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] roots07:
Anyone update to Pie yet? Did the insights app install automatically?

---------- Post added at 08:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM ----------

Note 9 TMobile
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
I updated on Sprint. Haven't had any issues yet. Everything seems to be running like before.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] roots07:
Thanks. I can confirm that the Pie update went perfect. No loss of settings or data.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
note 9 on T-mobile and still no update -_-

i don't know if this is because i have the unlocked note 9 on t-mobile
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] roots07:
Could be. I checked my setting today and it was there. I haven't looked in a few days do I'm not to sure when it finally dropped.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Nope the Insights app is installed based off of the email you provided to the Insights team. Knox will install it automatically.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KryogenikX:
I got the Pie update this morning on Tmobile and everything is running smoothly including the insight app.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Had to drive to another town today to buy clothes for the family. Decided to stop by a Bestbuy and hold the S10 lineup in my hand. I'm 100% going for the S10E, the size just calls out to me.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrcaptain23:
Got another 2nd survey saying:

"We are seeking participants for the Galaxy S10/S10+ Samsung Device Insights program. This study will allow Samsung to gain insights into how customers use their smartphones and make improvements to products and services. Applicants who are selected to join our program will receive 50% off of the Galaxy S10/S10+ when purchased from the Samsung.com website. The 50% you owe can be paid either in full or in monthly installments through Samsung Financing. You will be notified by our Device Insights team via email if you are selected to participate"

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

I have a question real quick. Does the email address I provide on the survey matter too much? My Samsung Account email address is my EDU email whereas I took the survey on my Yahoo. Lets say I get the code, will it be a problem if I redeem under my EDU email since I already have a samsung account or will I have to create new one under my Yahoo?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
CRAP! I just received the survey for my oldest son. Where is the S10e?!?!?!?!?!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
No S10e, filled it out anyways, maybe I'll use it.

My wife just got hers too.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
My middle son was using his S7, it fell out of his hands. Landed face down and the screen exploded. Was using a case also, ill be playing the hand me down game this time around.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Gunbust3r:
"please complete the survey with your SMARTPHONE by March 6th (Wednesday11:59 PM ET)." question is will they start the program on March 7th or is the intent to not give out the buds/$130 credit?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] t8xan:
The last day you can complete the survey is March 6th. They choose after, it's usually about two weeks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
Is there any way to contact the insights team by phone? I keep emailing them but haven't heard anything.

I have never not got an email back from them. What are you trying to do?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DeathlessOne:
I'm assuming they're trying to get into the program.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bschai:
How to skip S10 survey and get the Note 10 survey

Hi,

I just received the survey and am new to the insight program. I am more interested to do the NOTE 10 one. I understand the commitment is 1 year so if I do the S10 I won't be able to do the Note 10 one later this year.

If I don't do the survey (I have never done any before), will I still get invited for the Note 10 one?

I assumed that if I did the S10 survey, it means I commit to do the S10.

If I did the S10 survey and got selected, do I still have the option not to get the S10 for 50% off and get invited for the Note 10 survey?

Thanks again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DeathlessOne:
If you don't do S10 survey - then you'll be out of the program and you need a referral to get in again for Note 10 (This is what happened to me when I got the Note 9 invite, I didn't do it and I was NOT automatically invited to the S10 program)

If you do the survey and get selected but not get the device, you may be out still and you may need a referral for Note 10. I think you commit only when you do the survey AND get the device? (I'm not sure here, someone else can clarify better)

Either way, unless you get into the program you never receive an automatic invite, I guess.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Cloud9000:
If you don't go along with the program you will either need a referral to get a survey for the Note 10 or email them around the time of the Note 10 launch and express interest.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
:good::good

Got my survey on Sunday!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
Yeah, oh well... We'll see I guess
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
Well, I just preordered my s10+. Its cheaper to trade in my free Note 8 and get the S10+ for $450.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ace42:
Appreciate the help guys...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] FuMMoD:
How did you get it down to 450? Lowest I got it was 550 for some reason for the base s10+ and trading in my note 9.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
They gave me $550 fir my note 8.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rose4uKY:
Yeah same here I am getting $550 for my S9 Plus and I also have a $200 Best Buy gift card so I am better off buying outright plus I am getting unlocked. But they sent me an email the other day to get the phone for 1/2 off and to fill out survey by a certain date but I won't be doing it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
Is it worth doing this study? It'll be about $500 with taxes. I currently have the S7e which still works flawless, no cracks or scratches. I could sell that on Swappa? Or keep it?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Only you can decide if you need a new phone. I like getting a new one every year, but that's just me
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
True, but once you're in the program you can keep upgrading your phone for about $100-$200 a year right? Bc if they continue to give the 50% discount and you sell your old phone on Swappa for like $400. Are you in the program?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Yes I am in the program, you could definitely sell the phone on swappa and try to reduce the cost. In the program can be hit and miss sometimes, in it one year and not the next. Samsung RNG
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
Hmm that's interesting. I thought once you're in, you're in till you stop responding to the surveys. There are some people who clam to be in it for 8 years since it started. I wonder what affects one from being selected again the next round.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Yeah I don't know how it works, I just wing it every time they push surveys out. I've only been in the program since the release of the S6. Sometimes I get picked, sometimes I don't.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
not always

I have been here since the note 3 days and there have been years where i was not picked .
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bschai:
Say you got selected after the survey but you don't claim the 50% code, will you still get survey next time (i.e. note series). ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
Do you know how that works? Maybe the data that they received from you the first time want helpful so they won't send you through another round? Money made from your info < phone value. Nothing is free and Samsung is a business that wants to make money. Just my 2 cents.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
If you are selected and dont use the code, why would the Insights team want you again?

The answer is no
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
When would one find out if their accepted into the program?

---------- Post added at 03:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 AM ----------

Based on this. Say you use the code and use the device for the year, will you be auto enrolled again for the next study or do you have to get invited again?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DeathlessOne:
Probably in the next survey I assume. So, maybe around 2 weeks. Also you never get auto enrolled. You'd still have to be invited by them for the next study but since you'll already be in their system at that time, you need need any referral. The luck is a little bit better but you'd still have to be invited by them.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
Thanks! So for the next study you don't have to do anything, they will email you a survey if they want you, right?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DeathlessOne:
Correct. Also, in between or at the end of the program they might send you an email to refer more people into the program. Those referrals will be added to the next study when it happens.

Also interested in this. Anyone have an update? Can I order multiple phones with multiple codes from one EDU account. One each for my Mom and I.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] FuMMoD:
This is the 4th time I get a survey from Samsung. Hopefully this year I'll finally be a part of it haha.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
My email didn't state complete it with your smartphone. Does anyone know why this was? I did my mom's on my laptop since the email didn't specify my smartphone.

Edit: Here is a pic of the email:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Sammyfan89:
You can change the email address attached to your Samsung account in the settings. I had to do that when I got into the Note 8 round with my iCloud email.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] FuMMoD:
Is that your original email? This is the only email I've received for this year's surveys.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Cloud9000:
That's the email they send you if you email them expressing interest. The actual survey you are looking for is what Mod attached.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Inside of the survey, there is a page that you had to check a bunch of stuff off. One of them said that you verify that you completed the survey with your current smartphone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
So there is probably no chance I'm getting the S10 survey then?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DeathlessOne:
If you expressed interest to them via email and if you haven't received the initial short survey, then its a NO unfortunately. Don't worry, they always invite new people in when the existing ones don't want to proceed with buying the device or they might put you on a waiting list and might invite you to the next round of studies when it comes in.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MMakoto:
anybody else's myunidays discount isn't sticking? i clicked through myunidays like normal, the discount shows, was looking at the galaxy buds, but upon checkout the price went back to msrp. any thoughts?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
When I emailed expressing my interest. I got an email back saying for my name, email, and what phone I use. Is that the initial survey use are talking about or is it a different one?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DeathlessOne:
YES, that's the initial survey. The second one is the actual survey for the S10 where they ask you the details of the phone you want (color, model, carrier etc.) and that's the one you SHOULD do from a smartphone or else you'll be disqualified. Since you got the first one, you should've received the second one by now, didn't you?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
No, I haven't recivied the second one yet. That seems weird but, I recivied my first one on Wednesday this week so I might have missed the cut off or they are just waiting for something. This is interesting, I wonder what they look for.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Cloud9000:
If you just got it and was due yesterday then you probably won't get the actual survey email until sometime next week. Make sure to also check spam and junk.

Welcome emails looking back at past programs are probably not gonna be starting until the week of March 18-22nd or 25-29th.

It's usually 2-3 weeks after they send the Survey
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Yo guys sorry im a little late to this has anyone actually gotten a welcome letter or a code for the s10?? They were supposed to speed things up with the s10 because of the note 9 shipping problems
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
Thank you! Hopefully, I'll get it next week.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Hello! Do you know why they are not offering the S10e?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Yes i heard 2 things 1 was the price and the other was the software not meshing with the insights app or knox or something
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I want that S10e so bad, put in a good word for me and ask them to let 1 person try it out lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Lol ill see what i can do
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
Wow, you know people who work there? Nice.

Would you happen to know if I received the initial email on Wednesday the 6th that was due on Thursday the 7th would I still receive the secondary email for the S10 later this week?

Also, are there any talks about bringing back the free phone or increasing the discount to at least 75%? Thank you for your help!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
What email are you talking about?? The 1 asking if you were interested or the 1 that asks about what color s10 you want and who is your carrier??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
Sorry, the one about if I was interested. It asked my name, email, which phone I have, and agree to the conditions.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Ok so they sent out surveys on monday and people had to fill them out and send em back by Wednesday night at 11:59 pm so it seems as if they had people back out or didnt get the survey in by the time allowed so they had backup people and you must of been on the backup list so you should get the survey probably by the middle of next week
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
Thanks! That's what someone else said. I just wanted to confirm so I can keep a lookout for the survey since the first time it went in my spam box for some reason. Do you know if there are talks about bringing back the free phone since a bunch of people dropped out due to having to pay, or at least increasing the discount to at least 75%?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
The insights group could care less about people dropping out because they have to pay half. They literally get thousands of emails from people trying to get in the program i have been in since the note 3 and had a problem with my phone and found out a dude i went to school with works for the insights program. I would say if you dont receive anything but Wednesday or Thursday at the latest shoot the an email from the address that sent you an email and say hey just wondering whats going on i never got the survey. But i would be surprised if you dont hear from them by that point. I know they are talking about doing 3 waves of surveys. So if you got something on the 1st wave i would be shocked if you dont get an invite
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] CookieMonster97:
Wow, you been in it for about 7 years? You must be doing something right lol, some people apparently don't get selected back into another study. What's your secret lol? JK JK

anyone here from the note 9 study group who selected the unlocked US version ( SM- N960U1) ?

All the US carriers have pushed android pie and there is no update on when the unlocked US version will enjoy the pie update

I manually updated it through getting the beta files. I have been on 9.0 since January and love it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
could you share the procedure or direct me to the link on how to do that ?

and you had no problems with the insights app since you would need to wipe the data right ?
