So I did some digging. All the reference material from the promotion website is showing the 2016 Model. The setup instructions refer to the USB-C Adapter(which is 2016 only) so by all accounts short of calling Samsung it looks to be the current 2016 Model being offered. 99.99 retail (The older model is 79.99 now) That leads me to believe it is the new model.

From the promotion Page

Gear VR Setup: samsungpromotions.com/TryOnTheFuture/Setup

This is the document that references the 2016 model in association with the "TryOnTheFuture" promotion page.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dkb218:
Wondering why this was offered with the Note 7. Was there a promotion when the S7 was released?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mgbotoe:
They are giving out the new one per the terms and agreement of the promotion

I just talked to the customer service, ordered the s7 edge replacement.

she said : - no need to send the note 7 until the new one arrive... i will send it back with the loaner one if i want to have the new note 7.

- samsung will switch off the device september 30th (is that true? i was reading that this was a rumor, but the lady was pretty accurate in everything she told me)

she also said that it will take a few hours before I receive an email confirmation and agreement because there is only one person entering manually all the IMEI and agreement's details for the note 7 replacement .. lol.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] lildoggs:
Hey Man. I have a question as far as your loaner galaxy 7s edge. What was the procedure to get the loaner 7s edge? I went on Sunday to the store and they said that they would have to reimburse my account for the n7 then I can make the purchase for the s7 edge as if it was a new phone. Then repeat the procedure again when I get the new n7. I was also told the the loaner program is only done through the mail. They would mail it to me once I returned the n7. When I was at the store I was under the impression that the rep just didn't want to be bothered with the paper work because when I said I was going to do the transaction to get the s7 edge he said they had none left. Can you please let me know what the procedure was. Thanks sorry for getting off topic. Lol
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DVS_Sokar:
I honestly think the answer is YES and no.

Yes - If the device shows exchanged and is reported to Samsung as exchanged by the provider then it makes sense they will deactivate it.

No - if not exchanged status they can't turn it off.

Official word is No from Samsung but I think the answer is conditional as stated above.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DVS_Sokar:
Basically what you just described. I was a JoD customer. It was my first JoD. They returned the Note 7 and Jod'd me to the S7 Edge. The Rep confirmed I will still have 3 JoD's on my account after this edge. So I am still good and am not wasting it.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] timmay237:
They let you exchange your note for a loaner in the store, because they told me to call customer care and have it shipped out

No. It is the new model that was released along side the Note 7

Sent from my wickedly kewl Samsung Galaxy Note 7 using my S Pen. Duh!!!

Ugh. I ordered the memory card thinking that it was the VR I already have. Crap.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
I had already bought the new one the day after my Note 7 arrived and have been trying to sell the older Gear VR I just bought back in July. I selected the Gear VR in the promo cause I really don't nerd anymore sd cards, I have plenty of those around the house. I will sell the Gear VR I just bought since I haven't used it and keep the promo one since it comes with bonus stuff.

https://explore.t-mobile.com/samsung-galaxy-note7-recall#2

I called the number listed here. I told them I wanted a replacement note 7 when they became available. They told me to turn off my current note 7 and store it in a safe place until the replacement note 7 became available. Then they told me to pick any phone I wanted as a loaner phone, shipped out next day air and I have it in my hand now.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DVS_Sokar:
Ah very true. I did not notice that change in detail. Well that's good to know. I am still waiting on my n7 v2 call and you know I will submit another claim for that device.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
yea sucks for me on the loaner gift lol. i went in on 9/6 (verizon customer) ad promo ended 9/5 and new one started on 9/8 so i was in the 2 days there was no promo so they didnt approve me lol

at least i got 2 gifts and will sell the vr i bought on its release day and keep the new one with thebonus content along with my note 7 v2 and my 256gb sd card lol
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] christophec:
I'm going to get the v2 today.

Sorry I've been reading the thread but is there any other promotion to get a gift?

I used the first note 7 v1 promo and the loaner s7 edge promo to get the new vr.

But is there any other promo for the note 7?

I have my 256gb sdcard coming in from my original Note 7. Would it be possible to get the Gear VR with the replacement Note 7?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] rabilancia:
Love this thread! Thanks for letting us know!

1. With my original order on 8/18 I chose:

a. The Fit 2 (received)

b. a Tab E (received)

2. With the loaner S7 Edge on 9/14 I chose

a 256GB micro SD card (Submission Approved. Preparing for Shipment)

3. With the replacement Note 7 v2 on 9/23 I chose

the Gear VR (Submission Approved. Preparing for Shipment.)

AND, I should be receiving the $25 bill credit. According to my estimates, that's nearly $800 of retail items!

Thank you Samsung and T-Mobile...it's made the multiple phone swaps and configurations that much less painful!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffinMuphin:
I tried starting a thread for the note 7 v2 so people know they don't need the s7 or a loaner to get the vr gear but was closed by op

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] MvP77:
Got the Gear Fit 2 with my original Note7. Got approved for the Gear VR with my replacement N7.

Wish when I got my loaner phone I would have took the S7 and got a free 256GB card with that. But I wanted to try the M10 which T-Mobile no longer sells so I tried the G5. Oh well I still have my 200GB SD from my V10.

Purchased a Galaxy Note 7 (V1 defective version) got the promotional gift choice of 1 year Netflix, Gear Fit 2, or 256 GB SD Card.. chose the Gear Fit 2. (Had NO issues with mine btw)

Opted to get a loaner S7 Edge (which was ONLY bc of this loop whole) with the promotion of a choice of Gear VR or 256 SD Card.. chose Gear VR.

Got my new replacement Galaxy Note 7 and was able to qualify for the same promotion by default of a free Gear VR or free 256 GB SD card, chose 256 GB SD card.

On top of all that.. I was able to keep all my accessories from each device.. so that mean I got 3 brand new chargers, 3 sets of brand new ear buds, 3 different charger adapters, and I kept my s pen from my defective note.

Charger = 29.99x3

Ear buds = 29.99x3

Gear VR = 99.99

Gear Fit 2 = 149.99

256 GB SD Card = 249.99 (not too sure about that price as I looked online),

Bout $680.00 of free merchandise (i may a little on the numbers please but y'all get the drift..)

Not to mention I got an $80.00 credit to my account just for the inconvenience..

So all and all... the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco ended up being a come up for me..

#thanksSamsung I appreciate your **** up... haha
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
Yep, that's what I'm talking about! They can recall again next year for all I care!

they wouldnt advertise it as the new 2016 model gear vr and send you the old one.. its also advertised at a 99$ value when original is lower than 99$ now as well as the Note 7 only works with the New VR as it uses the usb c adaptor..
