[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] Phlip00ws6:
Did you do another upgrade, pay taxes, and initiate a new next plan for the S7 edge or was it actually loaned to you until the Note 7's are in stock?

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

I spent an hour with a CSR at ATT and they told me no matter where the phone was purchased ATT locations are supposed to give a loaner device. I'm still not sure what loaner means.. Buy a new phone with option to return later or just get a phone added to the account for a while with the intention of returning it, for free.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] c-prodigo:
did you all get the 25 dollar credit?
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] Suntzupa:
Yep. Got $26.50 credit.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
Has everyone been taking advantage of the double rewards on Samsung Pay. On my original Note 7 Samsung had given me $25 credit on a visa prepaid card and a Dunkin Donuts card as well. I set up Samsung pay the other day on my replacement Note 7 and used it a few times and received another $20 added to my Visa prepaid card and another Dunkin Donuts Gift card. Just thought everyone would want to know you can double up on those rewards since technically its a new device.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] dvtmg704:
I only got $10 reward on the new n7s not another 25 or DD card I already got that from the first n7
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] borijess:
I didn't get my 10 dollars.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] borijess:
Did you get automatic 10 dollars?
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
I got another $10 from SAMSUNG, ANOTHER $5 from Samsung for using a "friend code" and another $5 from DD
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] kangi26:
Well, I've still not been able to pick up a device. They have all been for "replacement only", no matter who I've spoken to, they wont sell one. Additionally, they don't even know when AT&T will release devices for general sales
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] carelockh:
Looks like best buy has some up on their website, made my purchase earlier. Hopefully I can get it delivered by friday.... Maybe try your luck and see if those of you like me who want to purchase a new note but don't have one to replace.

Keep your posts on-topic and respectful of other forum users.

If you want to discuss screen protectors and cases, may I direct your attention to the Note 7 Accessories section.

And so, they all went, lol!
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] kangi26:
I saw that Best Buy's website had them available and was able to get in touch with the Best Buy in SouthCenter Mall in Tukwila, WA. They had them in stock, and would sell me one. On my way in, I hit up the AT&T Authorized store in the mall, they said NO to selling me one, and they only were giving out the replacements. Just before I got to the Best Buy Mobile store, I stopped at the AT&T kiosk, who said (and DID) sell me a Note 7

:D
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] carelockh:
Nice, mine came in the mail today. I'm kinda scared with the way it's wrapped, dunno if I should be wearing proper gear to unbox it~
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] Phredeee:
I'm a big fan of Samsung Pay so my options are limited, but it is not written in stone. I wish Android Pay was more widely accepted. I'm going to drag my feet a little to see what incentives may happen and how long I can wait. I'm not overly skeered of a thermal runaway, none have every actual "Exploded", and interested in the rest of the story behind spontaneous ignition while not being charged. I'm taking precautions however. I'm also somewhat disappointed about losing the cost of accessories like screen protectors and cases and think Samsung should offer some sort of concession beyond the first $25.

Right now, I thinking and hoping to wait for an S8 release in FEB17. I'll miss the SPen but such is life.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
I received a refund of the Note 7 tax at Best Buy, then paid the (lower) S7 Edge tax at AT&T. When I exchange for the eventual new Note 7, I'll pay the difference in tax between the S7 Edge and the Note 7.

It's processed as a purchase (Next Plan in my case), but they've published a promise on their website that the interim phone can be exchanged for a new Note 7 when they're available.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] integraGSR:
If you decide to return the phone completely, will ATT reverse your upgrade?
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] sfb14:
When i talked to an att rep online they said that it will be reversed and your eligibility for an upgrade will be available again.

[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] burrzoo:
I returned my N7 a couple of weeks ago and accessories to an AT&T store and got everything refunded and my eligibility status is back too. My main concern is them not screwing up my grandfathered in Unlimited Plan and that too is still intact. I had the phone for 15 days and ended up never making one "Next" payment on it.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] borijess:
Same here. Plan on going to att for a loaner.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] burrzoo:
I thankfully didn't need a loaner. I still have my iPhone 6+ and just slipped the SIM card into it...Of course AT&T was a little rattled because I had done this! They had to check the IMEI, enter everything into their system, etc. What doofuses. I have it jailbroken but everything wasn't themed except for the status bar icons! Oops! AT&T Gal said what is this? I've never seen this. I said it's a theme.. Hahaha! hey, it's my phone, I bought it outright, none of your business!
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] rvb1:
Here is my sad story. I purchased my Note 7 from Costco. I called yesterday morning and was told they were expecting the new ones on September 22. I was not planning to get a loaner, however, I have a flight scheduled for the 22nd and my sons have told me that before every flight they announce if you have a Note 7 it has to be turned off during the flight. Not wanting to hassle with that, and knowing the iPhone 7 comes out today, and the phone kiosk will be swamped, I thought I would be smart and go to the store yesterday to get a loaner. After dealing with this at Costco for about 2 hours and getting my loaner set up, the first email I retrieve as I am leaving the store was the one from Samsung saying the Note 7's will be available by the 21st.. What a waste of my time.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] naplesbill:
Costco told me they couldn't give me a loaner at all, so I returned the note 7 at Costco and had to go to an AT&T corporate store to get the loaner.

Both the store and AT&T tell me I am setup to get the exchange on the note 7 and the $25 credit. We shall see how much I have to fight on this one
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] borijess:
What phone did you get. When you went into the att store what did you tell them? I am going to to the same so wanted to know. How did they set u up on your loaner?
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] naplesbill:
I got the s7 edge. I just explained to them what I did up to that point. I had actually called corporate before even going to Costco. This was two weeks ago tomorrow.

Of course they had no idea what I needed to do so I took it upon myself to to go to Costco and return the phone. When I got to the AT&T corporate store, they seemed to know if exactly what to do. Not surprisingly as this store has always been on the ball for me. Now, yesterday I d3cided to call AT&T to verify I was on the loaner program and would receive the bill credit. I was told I was absolutely all set and would be notified once the note 7 exchange devices are ready.

We will see soon enough
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] sireniankyle:
Called 1 at&t store, went to Best Buy and a 2nd at&t store. None of them have any. One employee's response to me was "It's iPhone launch day."... k?
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] rjohnstone:
Talked to the manager at the AT&T corporate store I use all the time.

He tells me they won't start getting fulfillment orders for replacements until the 19th at the earliest.

He also told me AT&T is not calling anyone to let them know the replacements are available.

Said I should just call the store starting on the 19th to see if they are in. They do normally get a heads up on incoming inventory a day or two in advance.

So they can checking the inbound inventory as well.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] neopolotin75:
^^^^^this..... I was told the samething by 2 Att corporate stores that they will get them in on the 19th.

From what I understand they have already given the go ahead. Samsung said they will be available at every retailer no later than the 21st which is next wednesday.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] mayonesa01:
Im glad i didn't get a loaner. It looks like priority will be to those that still have the "problematic" N7 then they will go from there.

Same thing I was told at my local store. They want the loaner phones back first then the old notes, then thry can sell to everyone.

Hey Guys, Chicago here. Att store has them in stock. Just got my replacement. BEWARENED. It will take a long to transfer all your apps and settings. Like over an hour. I have about 40 apps installed on my phone and I wanted my Note 7 original and my fire proof one to be exact., Wall paper, settings, folder groups, app settings ect. To get that to take place you need to connect your two phones and use the smart switch app. It works like a charm but takes time. The part number for att is 6000B.
