I did too. When i went back to the email in the fine print at the bottom it says.

"Promo codes may not be combined with any other offer or promotion on Samsung.com".

I hope they don't deny us the phones. Hopefully, if something happens they just won't' send the gear Vr and still let us get the phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] firefox15:
They won't. Wife did the program for the S7, and they offered the free GR then as well. We got both no problem.

Looking at reddit, the phone and the free VR are approved separately. There is a chance the phone will come in first then the headset will arrive sometime after. The phone should ship pretty quick.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] QwershiFTW:
Has anyone else gotten accepted? I haven't. Do they send out multiple rounds of acceptance emails? I'm new to this.

congrats , i hope they select more

they did not had the google pixel option when they sent out the survey so i have less hopes
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike26301:
I know for past phones they did it in multiple rounds. Also they did it in separate rounds for carriers as well. Everyone has a date they need to accept the phone. If people don't accept then they also send out more emails to fill the slots, which actually happens a lot.

Since this is supposedly sent out in waves by carrier, what carrier did you put down?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I put ATT coming from a SGS 6
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] michaelgcarro:
Was everyone that received an email so far selected for the S8+ or the S8? Also which carrier? I'm surprised there aren't more of us who got the email. Who knows, maybe they are doing it in waves.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] autoprime:
The thread over on Slickdeals has about 3-4 people who were selected.. both the 8 and 8+. No info on carrier. And only phones I've seen mentioned were iPhones.

Hoping the emails come in waves and I didn't get skipped. :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] QwershiFTW:
That's what I'm expecting, tbh.:)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] camdenison:
I feel like more people would be posting here if they sent out a large wave of acceptance emails. Who knows.

Patiently waiting :o
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ragsy1083:
For the chosen few so far, what phone did you say you had?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mani123lolz:
hi

I posted T-Mobile SG S6.

edit: Did not get chosen yet.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] beninatl:
oh well, I guess they probably only have a couple of hundred devices in the program. chances are the rest of us did not win lottery.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kcodya:
So, I did the initial survey, but didn't think I would be selected, so I purchased an S8+ anyway. If something happens I do end up getting selected, can I let the other person on my plan use the insights device?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I'm a little confused. I got a S7 Edge on the program in November. I thought that I had to keep it 6 months, and then it was mine. My 6 months would end around May 22nd. But, I just talked to a Insights rep, and he said that the S7 program has ended, and the phone now belongs to me. If this is true, then how do I get a deactivation code?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Email Samsung Insights directly and tell them you want the deactivation code. They will get one over to you in a few days.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Thanks! I guess that I don't have to do the whole 6 months.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
You might want to email them and ask them if they can give you any promotions if you keep the S7 "active" for another 6 months.

Others have been guaranteed entry into the next program for keeping the existing one longer.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Yeah, but I think that I am ready to go back to my iPhone. I don't know what they think about switching sim cards to an iPhone. :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I'm crossing my fingers for everyone else here, let's hope they release some more acceptance emails today!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Well that was pretty quick, the phone has shipped and is heading my way.

** Wait... Only the VR headset shipped out?!?!? LOL that makes zero sense. Separate emails because they ship from separate warehouses, makes sense now! **
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dankbud42o:
You got my hopes up, i checked my email and saw an email from Samsung! Too bad it was just a damn newsletter :crying:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Lol just received the second email confirmation from Samsung. The phone is coming from IN and the headset is coming from TN. Both will be here on Tuesday. Looks like I will be taking a day of leave from work.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
When they sent my tablet, I had them route it to the nearest FedEx place. Picked it up after work
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] phishfleck:
Just got an acceptance email, 6:00 p.m. EST. 8+ on ATT. Current phone was Note4.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] QwershiFTW:
Still haven't gotten an email. I wrote T-Mobile with a Galaxy S7 Edge. Do they always send them out at very specific times like 6:00 or 6:30?

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

I don't understand why only one or two people are posting if they got it during each of these waves. It seems as though these "waves" are really small.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Possibility that people don't use xda? Slickdeals had a post about an acceptance email just now. Going to be a long weekend if you didn't get an email. Let's hope they do more on Monday and all next week.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] michaelgcarro:
I'm not sure what's going on. It's unclear if they're staging the acceptance emails, and if so, how many there are. It seems like a good number of people got accepted yesterday, and I'm seeing a few this evening. Hopefully they've just begun!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
My wife got her acceptance today. ATT s8+.

Her first survey and acceptance. I've had a few surveys and a few acceptance's, but nothing for the s8 yet.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] QwershiFTW:
So far it seems like only AT&T has been accepted. Which means that people with different carriers still probably have a chance. Good luck everyone!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] michaelgcarro:
What carriers were accepted yesterday? I saw a few T-Mobile.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] inick73376:
Really? Damn....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] QwershiFTW:
If you saw T-Mobile acceptances then I guess I'm not getting the phone:crying:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ragsy1083:
Got the GS8 acceptance email today around 6:00 pm. Verizon on iPhone 7. The only downside is that it won't ship until Monday now #firstworldproblems
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rebel908:
Is there anyone who can PM me there name and the survey link?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Recommend you just email Samsung Insights and just wait for them to send you your own survey.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LoliSmith:
Is anyone concerned about the T&C of the program? From a privacy standpoint?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Akira Takamedo:
T-Mobile iPhone 6S here, I guess no acceptance. Goddamn it, I really wanted to get off this iPhone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
When I was in it previously, I didn't install any banking apps while the app was active. I don't believe that only usage and apps installed are the only things they are tracking. That app basically has root privileges. Administrator privileges=root privileges.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LoliSmith:
I wonder if there is some way to analyze how the app gets root privileges so we could use that info?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] flex3269:
To everyone who got accepted did you choose these answers for the survey?

http://imgur.com/a/it0Q1
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] killerz298:
Anyone with sprint get in?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
LOL I think your looking a bit too far into this....

And tbh I can't remember what I ate 2 days ago, so I'll just say "Yes" to your question. :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Good Monday morning to all! Let's hope the Insights team releases some more acceptance emails today! Post when you get one and good luck!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike26301:
Has anyone that has gotten accepted yet gotten another email with the App instructions. The phone will be here tomorrow and they still haven't sent the follow-up email.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theshopach:
I got the s7e back in November and it took almost a week or so until I got the instructions. Don't sweat it, they'll come.

Someone posted that the s7e study was over and they were going to contact Insights to get the code for the app. Any updates there?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Taking a half day from work tomorrow to wait on the phone hahaha. They probably need some extra time to generate all that stuff. Once I get it fully up and running tomorrow I'll send them an email asking for it. I'd rather be more proactive I guess.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
​

My instructions just hit the inbox, your should be there soon.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] phishfleck:
I went ahead and emailed them based off that other post, and they emailed me back asking for the IMEI so they can provide the deactivation code. Seems like the S7 program is, in fact, over.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] skel4877:
Hi!

I got accepted Friday afternoon, and my S8+ will arrive tomorrow from FedEx. I filled the survey out on an S7 from Sprint.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] michaelgcarro:
Sounds like people from every carrier have been accepted. Unless they send out more tonight, they might be done. I'm just speculating, though.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] skel4877:
I've seen people say that they used their device received from insights on a different number from the one they indicated they'd use, and with no issue. I personally wouldn't recommend it though, it'd be unfortunate if you end up having to return the phone because of it!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] shyam09:
One person on Slickdeals has posted that they got the email today. The promo code deadline has been extended to 5/12 (from 5/8), so maybe we'll see a few waves this week.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
On Sprint, and looks like no dice this time around. Maybe another round of surveys in a month or two?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] michaelgcarro:
Nice catch! Keeping my fingers crossed then!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] QwershiFTW:
Thank you for that! I'm hoping we could be seeing some more acceptances soon.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] shyam09:
No one else has reported anything but that one person. Who knows ... We just have to wait and watch, though some people are believing that Friday was the only day.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
Seems possible, because I've checked multiple places and there seems to be a very "limited" amount of people who said they got an email today.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DEADHEAD1994:
Hey everyone! Reporting in!

I WAS ACCEPTED!!!

only did one survey

Did the survey on a Google Pixel
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
Congrats! Mind sharing what tine you got your email? (One with the code)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] saiiyk:
Just got accepted!

T-Mobile

Gs8+
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
They told me that the S7 program was over, and that the phone now belonged to me, even though my 6 months was not up. I emailed them for a deactivation code, and this is what I got back: "Your 6 month requirement period ends only on 5/22/2017. Please email us back at that time for the code." So, even though the program has ended, you still have to fulfill the 6 months.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] phishfleck:
Ah, oh well, guess we have to wait a few weeks...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I wonder if I am automatically enrolled in the new program?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
You become eligible to receive another survey after the 6 months is up and you have deactivated the Insights app. Pretty much you will have to wait for a new survey, could be a couple weeks, could be a few months. It's all up to the Insights RNG lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I'm gonna try to trade this S7 Edge for something else after I get the code. Not crazy about the Edge screen.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
Congrats

I did it on google pixel as well

Hoping to get an email from them soon
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] FuMMoD:
No love for those that did the survey on a Nexus 6P so far.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] the1manpack:
are they still sending out the emails? or are people who didn't get one out of luck?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
[MENTION=4997760]Joehen873[/MENTION], do you know when (or if!) another round of surveys is going out? Getting nervous now!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Sorry guys i have been away for a few days im working on it now. Ill let ypu guys know
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Thanks!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
Phone arrived today. It's been a fun 2 days of careful negotiations with my wife over who is actually going to use it. Still has yet to be decided. Wish me luck.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
so you got one after saying they'll give you the note 3 or s5 and shipping etc?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] moopile:
Yes. I got a black AT&T Note 3.

Then in late November or early December i got another survey and they sent me a Samsung Gear Fit.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
Nice, hopefully I'll get my email soon
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] malickie:
I suspect we should all here back sometime in Feb. if the time frame is the same. I also wonder if they will be sending the same things they did last year or if they have just not updated the bulk e-mail being sent yet considering most of the mainstream consumers already own the Note 3 and S5.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
[emoji482] here's to hoping it's Note 4 or the Edge. Lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
That was what I was thinking too, hopefully someone receives an answer one way or another soon
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
so you got the email saying they have to assess your responses, then the confirmation they they wanted you and what phone you're getting?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] moopile:
Full Timeline:

7/24/14 - I emailed SI asking to be in the program.

7/24/14 - SI replied "We appreciate your interest in the Samsung Mobile Insights program. We have added your contact information into our system to receive future Samsung offers. Please note that this is not a guarantee of participation and invitations are dependent on inventory availability."

7/28/14 - SI sent me survey: "You were recently referred to our Samsung Mobile Insights research program. You are one step away from receiving your complimentary device the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 or the Samsung Galaxy S5. Please follow the link below, a survey that will capture everything we need to know before sending you a device. " ... And link to survey (which I completed on 7/29/14)

8/6/14 - SI sent me another survey: (this one only mentions an S5) "You were recently referred to our Samsung Mobile Insights research program. You are one step away from receiving your complimentary device the Samsung Galaxy S5. Please follow the link below, a survey that will capture everything we need to know before sending you a device. Please do not respond to this email address and note we are only sending out one device per person." ... and a link to survey (which I completed)

8/7/14 - UPS emailed me tracking info for a delivery from STA Corporate Campus - I had no idea it was from SI, I initially thought it was something else I had ordered. But made sense the next day when you read next part.

8/8/14 - SI sent email saying I'd been accepted to receive a complimentary device and referred to the 7/29/14 survey I took. Initially they said I'd get an S5 then emailed me back changing it to a Note 3. "We appreciate your willingness to participate in the Samsung Mobile Insights program and are excited to announce that you have been selected to receive a complimentary Samsung mobile device to use in accordance with the Mobile Insights Agreement terms and conditions accepted on July 29, 2014. Please find a soft copy of the agreement attached for your records. We are anxious to get you started on the program and begin enjoying your new and most innovative smartphone out in the market. Below we have noted the details of the device shipped to the address provided on your online survey." ... then later "Please note, we have made a correction to the device type that will be sent to you. We apologize for any confusion and look forward to your participation." ...

Later on 8/8/14 - got email from UPS saying shipping would be delayed.

8/11/14 - Note 3 arrived at home by UPS.

8/12/14 - Activated phone and installed SI app as required.

11/6/14 - SI sent me a new survey telling me I had a chance to get a Gear 2 or Fit. Took survey.

11/19/14 - SI notified me I won a Fit.

11/19/14 - UPS sent shipping info.

11/20/14 - SI sent me another survey offering nothing - took it.

11/21/14 - UPS delivered Samsung Gear Fit.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
You are AWESOME!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] paynedave315:
So does anyone have a referral name I could use please

sent from my beast note 3
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
I actually emailed them directly and told them I was interested, I think thats how mine happened
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
That's what I did also.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
have you gotten any response from them yet?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Nope no word yet. Been 4 days. Lol. I keep looking at the emails (the survey and the confirmation one) to see if I missed anything. Nothing yet
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
lol +1

I'm trying to be patient and follow the time tables too, but it is the weekend :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I've been paranoid about this survey, keep looking at my phone for no reason. "Did I get an email yet?" "Oh did I just hear my phone make a noise?" "I think my phone just vibrated!"

Sad part is I own a Gear 2 watch and I haven't turned on notification yet for email lol... So sad
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
Trade you my gear fit that I got for christmas if you don't want to use it lol, I keep checking moopiles time lapse that was made
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I actually bought the gear fit awhile ago. It was within the 30 day return, had to get rid of it. I ended up just wanting a full blown watch, best black Friday investment ever.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
I didn't pay anything for mine so I'm not complaining lol

anxiously awaiting this survey thing
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I have no clue how people handle this phone without a case! It feels like your literally holding a stick of slippery cold butter the entire time. Never going back to the S6... ever again. The VR Headset is Meh, fun for about 10 minutes. Wish they could have given free memory cards away instead.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ffolkes:
Sprint, Plus, last night.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
show, email, please
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] killerz298:
There have been other Sprint confirms over on slickdeals.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] thelongmile:
Well I can't say I'm not jealous, but congratulations to those that were approved!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DEADHEAD1994:
I have two packages on the way... Can anyone tell me what the second one is or have any ideas?

First one is shipped already (I'm assuming it's my phone)

Second one I got a tracking number for this morning, and it hasn't shipped yet.

They both weigh 2 pounds...

Could I be getting extra goodies?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] michaelgcarro:
That would be the Gear VR. They should've told you it comes with that when you ordered.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kelkin:
How do you sign up to receive the surveys for consideration into the program? I've been looking online and see contradicting information, some day email them, others say it's invite only... Some say an existing member can refer, but a friend of mine in the program said that was years ago and you can't refer now. I'd love to join, but not sure if there is a way?

Also, does the survey come from a Samsung.com domain or other? (I want to make sure I whitelist the domain it comes from)

-Keith
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] novabulova:
They are no longer doing referrals. You can try to email and sign up, but I'm pretty sure the window is closed. Most of us got in from doing the Samsung Test Drive
