[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
I greatly appreciate the info and the kind words bro! Hoping to see some tracking info soon. That's what I've been thinking is the stock needs replenishment. I'd just like them to change the status then or something, because the whole your gifts have been processed and are in route thing, makes me think I should be on standby for delivery, when in reality it's seems like it's going to be weeks before I receive mine lol. They should change the status back to the whole preparing for shipment or just a simple out of stock, updates once it's back, something like that would work for me.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] pcsperson:
Same here, not sure what the next steps are.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Psychotic Penguin:
Submitted on release day, confirmed that Monday.

Got the email on Wednesday and the SD Card last Friday.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] ChrisAC84:
I submitted mine on 8/19 as well, got approved on the 23rd, and received it on 8/31
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Smoot178:
It seems like there are alot more SD cards available than fitness trackers.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] californiarailroader:
Any updates?
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] car.los.7399:
Yup, the sdcard is much better than the gear. I think it's because the sdcard is worth more.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
No, nothing yet. I still just see that the status of the gifts are in route. I was thinking about giving them a call (3rd time) and see if they'd at least see if they could get me a tracking number, if the gifts are supposedly "in route".
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Matttrix:
No update been 13 days now in route with no tracking info.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Yup, same here! Got the congratulations your gifts were approved email back on the 23rd of August. That's when my status changed to "congratulations, your submission has been approved and your gift has been processed and is currently in route". I haven't received a tracking number yet and the status on the promo website is still the same, nothing has changed.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Matttrix:
I also have FedEx manager and nothing also has been notified from that as well.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Mr_Slick107:
I received mine on 30 Aug. I preordered from the Verizon site and received the phone on the 19th that morning. I put the info on the samsung promo site first. I was approved on 22 August and received delivery from Fed Ex on 30 Aug. And I love how much storage there is
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Yeah nothing showing up in my FedEx manager either.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] redsman55:
I ordered my sd card on 8/20 and received it on 9/1. A surprisingly fast turnaround. This smells a lot like a "supply and demand" issue to me. I'm sure everyone will get there's sooner than later. I didn't purchase the Note 7 for its promotion, but it is an expensive nice to have sd card for free.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Brttclne22:
Little concerned about my submission, it never gave me the opportunity to enter a mailing address?? I got a confirmation email though. Very odd. Anyone have the same issue?
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Taebom:
Just got my fed ex tracking number. Got approved on the

25th and then tracking today the 6th.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
When did you send in your information for the gifts? I sent mine in early morning on Saturday the 20th of August and received the email of application approval on the 23rd of August. I still haven't received any tracking information at all. My status still shows that the gifts have been processed and are currently in route.

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

Up until now is that the message shown on your status about the gifts being processed and currently in route?

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

Yeah I never had to submit my shipping address.....i just entered in info for what carrier I'm on, when I purchased it, the phone info, never was I asked for shipping address. Although in calling 3 times, they did confirm my current address as the shipping address. Hope you get your tracking soon, I'm still waiting for it too.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Taebom:
Submitted the 23rd and got approved on the 25th with the same message you have and today I got a email with the tracking and page updated around 9pm est
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Cool it's almost 9pm here, really hope mine updates soon! I'm just glad to hear they're still sending out the gifts, seemed like everyone got theirs already! Is it shipping from Indiana?

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

Oh, did you go with the SD Card or the band? I submitted for 2 SD Cards, you just send in for one? I wonder if requesting 2 for the wife and I are part of the hold up or something.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Taebom:
The label was made in Indiana and I went for the 256 sd card.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] mcdanielvzw:
Mine shows it was delivered today, so I'll get it when I get home. Too bad I can't use it since I'm switching back to my note 5 until I can get my phone replaced.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] pilo99:
Got my sd card who is willing to buy it
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] car.los.7399:
Lol. I also plan on selling it. 256gb is a nice gift though.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Shoot, I'm just trying to get some tracking info one of these days and hope I get mine soon! Submitted early on the 20th and still got nothing! I'm looking to keep my SD Card, got plenty to store on mine.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] xsisbest:
I never did get a tracking number but it showed up in the mail yesterday.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
No tracking at all? Did your status just say the your gifts were processed and currently in route message on the status page and no tracking? Did the leave it in your mailbox? No delivery to the door? Was it shipped via USPS and not FedEx? When did you submit your info? You choose the SD Card?
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] californiarailroader:
How goes the battle?
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
lol not good, not good. I'm at a stalemate. I've called the promotions department (4th time now) and asked what's going on with my 2 SD Cards and they told me to just keep being patient. I asked if it was normal to have the conformation status of "your gifts have been processed and are currently in route" without any tracking for this long and the lady said yes. Then I specifically asked if this was a first come first serve promotion and they told me yes it was. So then I asked why people who have applied for the promo well after me (I sent in early morning on August 20th), say the 23rd or 24th and they have been sent and received their gifts already. She paused for a few and just asked for me to continue being patient, some BS! Makes me think somethings wrong with my submission even though I've been sent the approval email. I've asked if there's something wrong and they keep telling me no. It's just odd there's not even a label made yet or tracking by now. I received the approval email back on August 23rd. Now the promo is over with and I'm sure they will end up emailing me telling me some thing was wrong with my submission and now I'm screwed, just my luck! But, thanks for asking again how it goes, I'm hoping the Note7 recall exchange at least goes better for me! Hopefully that first come first serve works out better for me. You enjoying your SD Card? Sounds like it's pretty fast, definitely looking forward to mine if and when I get it. You staying with the Note7 and just doing an exchange when it's available? I've enjoyed mine so I'm just going to exchange for a new batch Note7.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] GeoFX:
Just got my FedEx tracking number for the 256GB sd card yesterday for the Note 7. I got an email that my submission was approved 8/29 and the tracking info emailed 9/10. I returned the Note 7 to Verizon on 9/4 so they are still honoring the initial purchase. Not a bad deal at all.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Nice! Hope you get your SD card soon then! So you were approved on 8/29, out of curiosity when did you submit your info to Samsung? I submitted on the 20th of August and was sent approval on the 23rd of August but still haven't received any tracking information at all and the status is still stuck on the gifts have been processed and are currently in route since the 23rd. You turned your Note7 in to Verizon for a new phone? Or are you staying with the Note7 and just got a loaner and waiting on the new batch?
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] GeoFX:
I submitted it on 8/27 so it was a super-fast turnaround from submission to approval. I just submitted a photo of my Verizon receipt and that's all it took. From that, it's easy for Samsung to check the transaction and approve it.

No I turned in the phone for a refund and using my backup. I've been posting that this really is the best option as 1) you get your money back in the bank plus I got a $25 " inconvenience" credit and 2) it allows you to select a new device as there are a lot of new phones coming out (or even a replacement Note 7) while getting a new 14-day grace period to exchange for another one. This is so much easier than stressing out over the so-called 9/30 deadline at Verizon and hoping a replacement is available haha. And yes, I'll be asking for another $25 credit that Samsung is currently promoting with "select" carriers when I walk into the store later this month and decide to pick up a Note 7.

Don't understand why more people aren't doing it unless lots of people don't have a spare phone. Lesson learned - always keep a backup. I'll probably get a new Note 7, Google Pixel, or iPhone 7 Plus. In the meantime I can just kick back with my OG Droid Turbo which is more than adequate for work purposes and see the fallout.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Nice bro! Yeah I'd do the same as you, just this time I decided to trade in our Note 4's as we had upgrades available, so we pre ordered the Note7's. Now we don't have any backup phones for now lol. I'm not wild about exchanging these Note7's in for a J series Galaxy and having to transfer everything to them, setup 2 phones and then once we trade them back in for the new Note7's having to transfer everything back again and setup 2 phones all over again. If we had backups right now I'd definitely return both for a full refund and then just wait out the new units. Hopefully I see tracking numbers soon for these damn SD Cards, that'll ease the wait of these new Note7's.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Jrgom:
i submitted mine on the 19th, 430 pacific time on release day, for a memory card, and mine still says

Your submission is currently under review.

Driving me crazy
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] jjayzx:
Depending if you guys want gear vr or try and get a card again and see if it's quicker, when I exchanged my note 7 in I got s7 edge. I filled out the promo and chose gear vr and it was accepted.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Something is going on, they messed up orders and don't wanna admit to it.

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

You're with Verizon? If so, how'd you go about getting an S7 or S7 Edge? Everyone I've asked around here (different Verizon employees in store or online) have told me that it's only the J series for loaners if they have them in or to hold onto the phone until the new ones are in. I've also been told if I switch to the S7 or S7 Edge I'd have a restocking fee, I was also told that if I went that route my payments toward my Note7 wouldn't count towards the new exchanged Note7. It's a total headache, sooooo many different answers I don't want to pull the trigger and get 2 'loaners' for me and the wife and end up getting shafted later......

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

Another thing I don't get....they're supposedly restocking their wear houses yet, they're offering more SD Cards for the S7 Edge now? They must have more in stock? I mean dip into those for the time being and send them out to the Note7 owners they screwed while S7 Edge owners send in their submission, because it can take "up to 12 weeks to ship" that way they aren't doing anything wrong again either. Especially since the Note7 promo was in conjunction with the S7 Edge, now it has a second promotion!
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] jjayzx:
I had no issue returning the phone and they gave me a choice of any phone I wanted. The promo is for s7 and s7 edge, think it came about when the Note 7 issue arose to probably try and retain people. I'm on Verizon too. The whole promo gift thing seems messy. On the site it says approved but I haven't received email about it, I think it's waiting on its next step. They seem to be using some third party company to fill these gifts. I don't see why they couldn't have given a special coupon for us to pick any store nearby with it.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
So to initiate exchanging my two Note7's for two S7 Edge loaners, should I call them or go into the corporate store? Then once the new Note7's are in you just bring back the S7 Edges for the new Note7's back at a corporate store or send them back to Verizon?
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Smoot178:
I submitted my request for a small gear fit on September 19 and I just now received the tracking information.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] jjayzx:
I just went into the store but you might want to call ahead in case they're one of the annoying places with misinformed or lazy people.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Cool. I'll give it a shot.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] ars0n:
mine shall be here monday.. woooo
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] WillTheGreat:
Looks like it takes 11 business days from approval for them to send out tracking numbers. I was approved on the 30th and 31st for 2 Note 7s. I got a tracking number yesterday for 1 and tracking number for the other today...For the SD card anyways.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Did you receive tracking today? When did you submit?

---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

11 days? Wish that was the case for me! I was approved on the 23rd so I should have seen tracking by the 7th of September. I still don't have tracking at all, this sucks! Hope you enjoy yours though.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] ars0n:
Yup, got tracking, said it has reached next destination, will be here monday, submitted over a month ago, release day of note 7
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Matttrix:
I was approved and said in route on the 23rd.. Ive called they said the same bull**** that it takes time and be patient. Itll be a month here in a week sitting in approved and in route status.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] whoofit:
Seems as though most people on here opted for the SD card. Lots of people had them shipped quickly. Not so for the people who chose the Gear Fit2. I did for my wife and wasn't expecting it until just before Christmas. It shipped yesterday and FedEx say it'll be here tomorrow.

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

This is my identical experience except for.... what promo gift?
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Taebom:
Here's a little update about my sd card promotion. Sent info on the 23rd, approved 25th, tracking label made on Sept. 6th. Package was shipped out a week later on the 12th and was finally received on the 14th.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] playya:
Some vzw customers received emails for Fit 2 today they had their promotions put through since the 19th. There is definitely an issue out there that Samsung does not want to admit to
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Yeah, they messed up in processing and shipping. I still have nothing. No shipping label created, no tracking info, just that status (gifts processed and currently in route) from their website that's been the same now for over 3 weeks. It seems people who submitted early September already have their gifts! I should have submitted then! Forget trying to do it early, just do it late and get it sent first, incompetent work force they have for these promos.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] travisryans:
Received

I received mine yesterday. A co-worker whom entered his info received his yesterday as well. His form submission was even a few days after mine so they're obviously processing them in chunks.

-T
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] \m/:
Mine isn't even in route yet. Submitted on the 18th, approved on the 19th. No change almost a month later. Samsung rep said everything's good to go, just have to wait.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Damn bro, you're in an even more BS situation than me. I'm sorry to hear that, you'd think you would get rewarded for submitting as early as possible. Sucks that you're getting passed up by people who've submitted extremely late in the promo and they've received their gifts! The people fulfilling the orders clearly are incompetent and should be fired. Hope you see some movement soon, you should have been among the first to receive your gift(s). It's a shame too, there's so many that just want to sell their SD cards for profit (that's cool) but they could sell it anytime. People like me who actually have a use for it (plenty of pics to take, pics to xfer, music etc) who submitted early still don't have it but the ones who want to sell it and some of them submitted late in August or early September already have theirs because the morons fulfilling the orders are just filling orders randomly it seems. Makes no sense at all, if this was dealing with an unlimited supply, OK whatever, but it's limited supply. Some BS how this is being handled by Samsung and their 3rd party fulfillment centers.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] \m/:
Yeah it's like a punishment for upgrading to overnight shipping. I had to have been one or the first ones to submit that morning. Probably be the last one fulfilled as well. Oh well. Free is free is free I suppose.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Amazingfoxx:
Just checked my status and I was approved for the SD card with my exchange. I'll reply when I get a shipping email.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
So I just received (at 3:45pm) my email from Samsung saying that my gift is on the way and provided shipping / tracking information. I submitted on August 20th, approved August 23rd and today got tracking and it just shows that a label was made and should be shipping today and delivery by Thursday the 22nd. Anyone else getting their tracking today?
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] californiarailroader:
Awesome! I'm glad you finally got it in transit!
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Thank you! Yeah I was really thinking I wasn't going to see if for at least that 12 weeks they mentioned it could take. Happy they finally got it shipped out for me.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] koop_rt:
Submitted claim through Samsung website on August 20th, approved the 23rd, and recieved a tracking number September 19th. It was brutal seeing others getting their gifts so quickly but since it was 2 SD Cards i guess that delayed things. I bought the phone through a Verizon retailer and submitted the claim on my own
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Yeah I had two 256 GB SD Cards submitted on the 20th of August and was approved by the 23rd and just received the tracking info on September 19th!
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] htusa:
Im still waiting on mine to come in. I got my phone on the 19th and turned everything in on the 19th. Figured I would be one of the first out....

Wife bought a phone on the last day of the promotion so it should be a while for hers.....
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Matttrix:
I called after being pissed about this recall crap today.. And I got told its been sent to warehouse (for the fit2) i let them have it after what we went through the Gear VR and then the recall now. Ive been a diehard loyal Samsung person but now om just sick of it all. ?
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Yeah they didn't handle this promotion very well. They processed orders it seems on a first come first serve basis but when it came to actually shipping the gifts that was a crapshoot it seems. It seems the were in last order in first to be shipped out mode and so if you placed yours early (August 18th, 19th, 20th etc), you were actually last in line in most cases it seems to actually have your order have a label made and shipped out.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] \m/:
Awesome, glad to hear yours finally getting some traction. :)

I just checked mine. No change from over a month ago at this point. Approved and processing for delivery.

Maybe movement on yours means upcoming good news for me.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Yeah I'd hope so! It's messed up I got a label made before yours. It is still at just a label right now. It shows a delivery of 9/22 but that's not going to happen from Indiana to Arizona while it's still a label. I'd hope you get your email regarding the gift(s) being shipped out to you any day now though. It's unbelievable how bad they are at fulfilling orders properly. I guess it's good news that they are at least still working on getting orders shipped but they are incredibly slow, it's been a label now for 3 or 4 days.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] \m/:
You know what makes it all even funnier (sadder?) is that I live in Indiana. Assuming it's coming from Plainfield, I'm about an hour and a half away.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Oh that's some real BS if that's the case! That is where mine is shipping from to me here in Arizona.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Matttrix:
Well my FedEx Manager popped up with a notification that I have a order from Plainfield. I didn't get any msg from Samsung. So at least I know its coming now. Since I live here in Indiana it should be here today or tomorrow (it says today but ill believe it when I see it), ita for the fit2.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] \m/:
Date/time submitted and approved? Just for comparison giggles.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Matttrix:
Sent in the aug 19th and approved aug 23, made 2 calls and and last call questiones to phone rep about Samsung and which om still debating cause of what happened with the gear vr (took 4 months earlier this year), the wireless charging pod took 3 months when i signed up for Samsung pay last year. Then now the recall. Ohh and i had a defective Note 4 Developer Edition in that had to be sent back.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] californiarailroader:
It's frustrating, I know! I live in rural Northwestern California, in Redwood Valley (Mendocino County), it's 120 miles northwest of San Francisco. One time, I ordered something, it started out in Los Angeles, in SoCal, then flew back to Louisville, KY, then went back to Los Angeles, then up to Reno, NV, then to Oakland in the SF Bay Area, then to me up here, it got here on time, but still lol
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Justinphxaz:
Glad to hear you got movement! Hope you get it soon now. I'm still stuck at having a label made and the 9/22 delivery date isn't going to happen, but hopefully soon it'll ship.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
Got the Fit2 from the original Note 7 purchase, now the 256gb SD card is approved and being processed to ship from the S7 loaner purchase. I just need Samsung to do a promo for the Note 7 again now so I can grab a VR.
