I have a 128gb from the T Mobile rebate I'm willing to trade for a leather back that isn't brown, PM me anyone
[G4 General] UktenaWarrior28:
It has finally been sent like two days ago but just now got the tracking number. Should be here Friday.
[G4 General] tsayin:
I bought mine end of June and exchanged it beginning of July because of a defect in the camera glass. I wasn't sure if the return would cancel my rebates, so i reapplied. The 32g sd had been listed as pending shipment for over a week, and the 128 has moved over to approved, but the leather back has now already shipped.
[G4 General] 888Plugin8.com:
I also have a 128gb from the T Mobile that should arrive tomorrow. I'm willing to trade for a leather back that isn't brown, PM me anyone is interested. I'm located in Dallas, TX
[G4 General] Jraider44:
Also would like to propose a trade. I only have the 32 gb Sd card. Pulled it out of package but haven't opened the case it comes in as I already have a 64gb Sd card in my G4. Would prefer a tan or orange learned back
[G4 General] Tursch67:
I am interested in trading. I have the AT&T model so we didn't get the 128 gb micro sd card promo. I have the maroon back on order through the promo. Let me know if are interested.
[G4 General] I Like Soup:
This wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. I got myself and the wife G4's on different days and we've received both promotions each. Here is how the timing worked out;

Me

Purchase and submission of both promotions - 6/25

LG Battery/32GB card - Confirmation 7/1 Shipment 7/15 Delivery 7/16

128GB card - Confirmation 7/10 Shipment 7/15 Delivery 7/18

Soup Wife

Purchase and submission of both promotions - 6/27

LG Battery/32GB card - Confirmation 7/2 Shipment 7/16 Delivery 7/20

128GB card - Confirmation 7/6 Shipment 7/15 Delivery 7/18

I actually like the charging cradle with the battery. I formatted both 128GB cards on my computer to NFTS and they seem to be working. When I put the wife's in hers, it did say the card wasn't formatted. I had to tell it a couple of times to do it and then it started working. Guess I'll have to keep an eye on it.
[G4 General] user787:
Too bad this offer isnt valid on Puerto Rico. T-Mobile offer is valid, but Im on another carrier and they offered me an great discount offer and now I am in the middle of returning the device cause now they dont show me / give me proof that will honor their offer :(
[G4 General] RedOCtobyr:
Agreed, the charging cradle is pretty cool. I haven't had to use it much yet, but it was nice swapping in a fresh battery, and also charging the dead battery while using the fresh one.

If you have a heavy day of usage on both batteries, and you want both of them available the next day, the separate charger provides an easy way to charge the second battery overnight. I've never had a separate phone-battery charger before, I like it!
[G4 General] Z3ldaFan88:
Well after over a month of waiting I finally got my battery and SD card. Registered on the 16th of June, had to call LG twice in July and finally got my promos 2 days ago.
[G4 General] Semantics:
I got both Promo's LG and T-Mobile remarkably fast. I no longer have the phone, but I still have the battery and charger and 32gb sd card sitting in the package it arrived in. I found a 512GB microsd on Geek app for 8 bucks with 1 dollar shipping and that has worked remarkably well for me, I gave my wife the 128GB one from T-Mobile.
[G4 General] Rydah:
And it's actually 512GB? ?

<b>Sent From My LG G4</b>
[G4 General] Semantics:
499GB! I've had a ton of luck using Geek and Wish. I figured for 9 bucks with paypal backing me it was a no brainer. Its 499GB which is sweet. It might fail in a week, but its as advertised lol.
[G4 General] bikrame:
what kinda website/app is that where you can buy 449 bucks item for 9 dollars !!!!!!!! in that rate or decreased value i will buy house in Manhattan, please tell me secret !

i hope you are not talking about Qbids .

:D :) :p
[G4 General] Semantics:
449 dollars? I'm not sure what you are insinuating lol. I was wrong on the price. It was not 9 dollars, it was 15. I bought something else for 9. The app is called Geek. Its awesome.
[G4 General] hella356:
Have you tried actually loading hundreds of gigs of data on it to see if it really works? I recall reading that fake cards use a trick to falsify the storage amount shown, but will only hold a small fraction of the listed storage, or it appears the data has copied successfully, only to be inaccessible when attempting to copy it back or open the files. Plus, a 512gb stick should yield about 476gb after formatting.
[G4 General] user787:
Maybe off thread, but I got the same question: have you tried to write data to check actual capacity? Reformated it, maybe writing zeros, to prove real capacity?
[G4 General] user787:
Actually, solved the issue with my carrier. Will keep the device. Now I found the link that T&C reads 'valid in Puerto Rico'

http://lgg4leatherpromo.smsrebates.com/Content/Leather_Back_Cover_Promotion_Terms_and_Conditions.pdf

LG edited that document and updated it with an 'final' version, PR excluded... Dont know why, I paid for the device, maybe more than if I buy it in the States...

Tried to submit online, imei didnt recognized. Sent an email to the inquiries address... Will have to wait an see if they stand on their offer, as it influenced my purchase desicion.

Pd. If anyone will NOT claim this offer and WANT to help me sharing their imei, so I can pass imei check and submit my device imei (and proof of purchase, receipt, etc) to obtain an submission number, I will apreciate that. Please PM.

[G4 General] HelloDominick:
Submitted both form. Got my email with order number. Now to wait a few weeks
[G4 General] 20degrees:
Checked T-Mobile memory card status and it says approved. Other is still pending though.
[G4 General] inick73376:
When did you submit them?
[G4 General] 20degrees:
28th
[G4 General] inick73376:
So a full week? damn.
[G4 General] randpost:
I was approved for one of my 128GB thus far. I am still waiting on the second 128GB card which I purchased a day later.

I am also still waiting on battery approval.
[G4 General] inick73376:
So I submitted mine on the 2nd, So I guess I got a few days left before I actually get approved. Which sorta sucks but eh if I get approved for both, I'll be happy.
[G4 General] smw6180:
Same. Approved for the 128gb card, still pending on the battery, 32gb card, charging cradle. Submitted 5/28.
[G4 General] fryingpan0613:
I got approved for the 128 gb, I'll submit for the battery today. I didn't know if we could do both and I wanted to make sure I got the 128 gb.
[G4 General] bikrame:
Same for me , approved for 128 gb and still waiting for other one. lets wait. On G3 also they almost took a month to approve and send.
[G4 General] Mindspin_311:
Anyone getting an error on their IMEI when trying to submit for the battery/32gb card? Im on Tmobile.
[G4 General] hella356:
So T-Mobile customers have to send away for the 128GB? I assumed it would arrive with the phone, which I'll be receiving today.

Submitted mine on the 1st. Neither promo has been approved yet :(
[G4 General] hella356:
Thank you, sir! I didn't catch that when I ordered. Well, that's a bit of a bummer, but I can live with a little delay.
[G4 General] hella356:
Got the phone and registered for both promotions. Received an email confirmation within seconds on both of them.
[G4 General] Royyx:
I'm approved for the SD card from tmobile still waiting for the other promo from LG to be approved
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Can you remind me how long ago you submitted these? I hear the turn around is 6 business days even though the website says 5?
[G4 General] Royyx:
I submitted 5/28/15 so 6 business days for me. I never got an email saying approved I just randomly checked it today and it said "As of today I have been approved" So I am assuming it was today.
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Thank you very much for that update!
[G4 General] Semantics:
Okay I formatted the stick, it has 499GB it says, I don't have hundreds of gigabytes of data to test it out, I have put over 30GB on it so far with no issues. I plugged it into my PC and I'm running fake flash test on it now. Gonna take all night it looks like, I'll report back tomorrow.

I just ordered a 128 GB class 10 for $4.89 shipped from the app you suggested. Figured if it works, nice. If not, refund my $4.89.

I just purchased LG G4 H811 from Swappa.com but it was new sealed. The current promo which

ends 07/31/2015, is extra battery and leather back (not available in brown or black so I picked red)

and I will hear back from LG by 07/30/2015 on whether they will allow the promo.

I bought mine 5/17 and submitted the promo that day and just today got confirmation today. Took 8 business days. Now I'm just waiting for shipping confirmation. ???

Word is the SD card they give you is garbage. 1 month later and mine refuses to write. Can't format it, can't erase anything on it! That's why it's free!
[G4 General] thevmax:
I don"t think that was the problem. I had an LG G3 that I had bought a Sandisk 48ms 64GB SDCard for and after messing with Android for a month it stopped working.
[G4 General] jaymelz324:
Yea mine is a normal sandisk claas 10 ultra 1 card...not garbage...you have a faulty one or a faulty phone
[G4 General] Rydah:
Hoping they send me one. I sent my application for a 128GB card late but got it on the final day so... Hope I get it, only have a 32gb class 2 card from when it was the big card of the time. Lol

[G4 General] bigz1981:
I just saw this thread...I got both promos, and lg even send me a second 32GB card/battery/battery case pkg...why? I'm not sure, but I can say the SD cards have been working like a charm for me & I'm loving the option of having the 2nd battery, even if I don't really need it, It's good to know I have a couple of backups in case my battery goes bad.
[G4 General] Rydah:
Is the 32 GB card included in the battery promo?

Sent From My LG G4
[G4 General] bigz1981:
Yes. It was when I did the June promo. I got mine & sent it in right before the cutoff date for that particular promo. I also got the 128GB card from the tmo promo.
[G4 General] Rydah:
Sweet, my battery/leather back should be here in an hour. ? I just got approval for the 128gb card too. I bought the phone 3 days after the promo ended and I submitted a week after the deadline and thought they'd deny it, but looks like I got lucky. ? so glad to be moving up from my old 32GB class 2 card. Lol

Sent From My LG G4
[G4 General] Rydah:
Well this is nice. No 32GB card or second battery like some received, but I am happy to have these. If they ship my 128GB card today, it should be here Saturday based on the package I received already.

Submitted on 5/28, yesterday I was approved for the 128gb TMO card.

Today I've been approved for the spare battery/charging cradle/32gb card as well.

Just a heads up.

Edit:

Didn't receive any e-mails or anything once approved. Had to manually check the tracking site.
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Still haven't recieved mine. :)
[G4 General] 20degrees:
Why abuse it? ^
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Can't wait to get mine.
[G4 General] rsbenedict:
I think they mention only one per household, but I could be wrong.
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Can't be. What if a family of 4 buys 4 LG's, then they only get 1 offer? No way!
[G4 General] gtg465x:
I'm about to abuse it because my unlocked G4 isn't eligible for some stupid reason. If you advertise free stuff when you buy a G4, and someone buys a G4, you should freaking give them what you promised. I'll just buy an AT&T model from Best Buy to get my gifts and then return it. Screw em.
[G4 General] frigidazzi:
Lg told me to email their promotion team about it. I emailed them. If they don't give it to me I'm going to do the same thing as you. This is ridiculous.
[G4 General] 20degrees:
My first g4 died completely, doesn't mean I should try to abuse a really generous gift from lg. Even though I had to go 5 days without, I'm not gonna take advantage of lg. They're already giving me about $200 in free stuff on top of a really great phone that's cheaper than the competition.

Come on man, where are people morals now?
[G4 General] Eric618:
Exactly!
[G4 General] bikrame:
May be someone already filed using your IMEI. You should have think it before you buy. Look at rules they didnt promise you to buy from any1 and give you free stuff. I hope and wish BestBuy will charge you restocking fee. People like you should stay with Apple or samsung.
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
I haven't submitted a second one. But u want to talk about morals? Look at how AT&T and Verizon rip off the American consumer every day! Just ask T-Mobile CEO John Legere.
[G4 General] rsbenedict:
If people abuse the system, then LG or other manufacturers may stop offering these deals all together. Follow the rules. If it says it must be purchased from XXX and you purchase from YYY, then you're not eligible. Your choice to purchase from YYY made you ineligible, not LG or another manufacturer.
[G4 General] randpost:
I applied for the 128gb and the battery twice for two different phones. I am approved for both promotions for each phone as of this morning. I used the same address and same phone number for each phone.
[G4 General] buckless:
according to the t/c the 128 card cannot be combined with any other promotion.....wtf!
[G4 General] randpost:
The battery promo fine print states "1 per person, 1 per household" which they also seem to be ignoring since they approved both my battery submissions.

Obviously the fine print is either wrong or they are choosing to ignore their own rules. most of us who submitted last month (28th, 29th) have been approved for both promos already.

Who knows though. No one has received anything yet. perhaps they will deny some of my submissions before shipment, but I doubt it.

I own 2 G4's and I expect 2 batteries and two 128GB cards regardless of the fine print.
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
That is correct - this is why I did NOT buy two G4's, because this is one per household.
[G4 General] rsbenedict:
I applied for both on the 29th and still have not yet been approved. Hoping to be approved on Monday. I had a very high reference number for the T-Mobile promotion and a relatively low one for the LG promotion. Neither have been approved yet.
[G4 General] gtg465x:
No, I bought a brand new sealed phone genius. And it isn't working for anyone who bought an unlocked G4, not just me. And when LG first announced the promotion, they didn't say anything about having to buy a carrier model to get the free battery and SD card. They just said they are giving them to anyone who buys a G4 at launch. Those stupid rules showed up later. And Best Buy won't charge a restocking fee, but you can keep hoping :).
[G4 General] gtg465x:
The problem is, when they first announced the promotion, they didn't mention those "rules" about having to buy a carrier model from certain places. At first, they just said anyone who buys a G4 at launch. They should honor that. Since they aren't, I don't feel bad about gaming the system to get what they promised.
[G4 General] 20degrees:
They said it had to be from an authorized retailer from day one of the promotions start. Maybe you should've waited until you could read the official rules, genius....
[G4 General] gtg465x:
I did buy from an authorized LG retailer genius. Just happened to not be a US company. And even if I knew the promotion rules about having to buy from a US company before buying, I still would have ordered abroad because I don't want a crappy carrier model filled with bloatware and slow to get updated.

I seriously don't understand why you guys are crying a river for LG here. They are screwing those of us who don't buy our phones from carriers. And us gaming the system to get a free battery and SD card is not going to hurt LG. They are giving the same number away regardless of who claims them.
[G4 General] 20degrees:
Obviously it wasn't an authorized retailer of this promotion. If it was, you wouldn't be complaining in this thread....
[G4 General] gtg465x:
I said authorized LG retailer, not authorized promotion retailer.............
[G4 General] WheresTrent:
I was approved for the 128GB promo but never got an email about that. The system can't find my submission for the other promo, which is strange because I checked it a day after I submitted it and the submission was received.
[G4 General] throwaway11111:
just fyi, when i last looked, the rules specifically state that the qualified retailers "include" those explicitly named in the rules. logically, this means "including, but not limited to." that is not the same as "must be purchased from one of the following" or anything of the like. consequently, it is not clear who is actually 'authorized' for this promo, other than the ones they decided to list.
[G4 General] rfarrah:
I'm not here to judge, but it's called honor and integrity. You get to chose whether you have any.
[G4 General] smw6180:
SNIP

While I don't personally have a dog in this fight, nor do I care what happens to corporations, the fact is that assuming (assuming, not accusing, so don't start calling me a 'genius'...there are apparently lots of geniuses in this thread:) ) you are ineligible, by gaming the system (purchasing eligible phones, getting your promo items then returning the phones) you are potentially taking those items away from someone who legitimately could have claimed them.

As you pointed out, 'They are giving the same number away regardless of who claims them.'...so if you claim it, someone who could have legitimately claimed it can't. And the subsidy that the carrier gave to LG for that equipment (assuming a subsidy, I haven't looked into it) doesn't count which means the company is out the full cost of the equipment.

*shrug* Up to you. I know what I would do, but I don't care to try and tell others what to do.

Lmao
[G4 General] steely123:
Mine are received and pending also. Bought two phone at the same time. And each promotion asked and submitted for both IMEIs. And when checking the status, it does have "number of rebates: 2" on there. I didn't have to do a separate submission for each phone.

So, I can only ASSUME LG and TMO are going to give a order for each phone submitted legally. Even though the rules do state only one per person and per household. But again, nothing has been approved yet, i don't see any reason it wouldn't be. :good: :D
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Right on! There was only one person in existence who was 100% perfect in all his ways, and even said, "Judge not or you shall be judged!"

[G4 General] rsbenedict:
Most of these types of things don't give you the full details in the ad. There is always a footnote where you have read the fine print. Otherwise ads would go on for minutes or the print would be pages long.

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

I'm not trying to pick a fight here, but it was an American promotion (as far as I know) and it would make sense that it would not apply to foreign G4s. I read that Portugal was getting an LG Projector as their promo. That didn't apply here in the US and I would not have expected to get that buying here in the US.
[G4 General] dysfunkshun:
Applied for both on the 28th and both are still pending. Bought my phone direct from tmo.
[G4 General] throwaway11111:
You're oversimplifying the issue. The problem is we have no explicitly authorized way of getting an international version, and we're basically the bastard children of LG if we decide to buy it. This completely ****s US purchasers who do a lot of necessary traveling and need all of the bands, myself included. Niche group? Maybe. Unnoticed? No. Obviously the core issue is the restrictions placed by providers themselves, but LG should still acknowledge we exist in some form. The very least they can do is give us this promotion.
[G4 General] Royyx:
Got approved for both now. Let's see how long til they ship
[G4 General] autoprime:
any international users buy a USA-variant G4 wanna send me a picture of the imei on their box? Since this is for USA residents only I'd assume you'd be unable to claim this promotion and that's a free battery/sdcard going to waste ;)

If someone knows of someone in the above situation please share my post.

I have ordered a H815 variant so I am unable to use my own phone. I really want the extra battery/cradle.
[G4 General] paqmanbiker:
Ha good luck with that.
[G4 General] 20degrees:
This promotion is part of their US marketing budget. They set aside a certain amount of these items to help them move units in a country where Apple and Samsung dominate. This is the US LG that set up this promotion for US carriers/customers and is intended for the US market. In international markets, I'm sure they advertise and do things differently. The US doesn't get both battery covers or quad beat earphones. So maybe this is the offset of that?
[G4 General] Swizzle82:
So should we(Tmo users) be worried that you're getting the 815 instead of Tmo this time?

Ordered mine on may 27th. Got it two days later. I filled out the two diff promos the day i received it and a confirmation the same day. when I go on to the LG website to check my promo it says received and pending still. they are probably you waiting for 14 days till they approve it so you don't return the phone and keep this stuff. for receipt i took a screenshot of the email receipt. so I hope this is satisfactory. I'm still waiting LG are you going to JIP me? I am already bothered about the locked bootloader don't screw me on this too.
