Because samsung.com orders are auto registered for the VR and get to order the Immersive bundle when they order the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kirdroid:
I don't think they will run out of promotions, just a stunt to make us pull the trigger soon. All pre-orders will get the promotions fulfilled irrespective of the bogus number they say. Last few releases there were no issues in getting the promotions even after few days of release day.

You don't have to claim separately, it'll be shipped along with phone or in a different shipment.

---------- Post added at 04:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 AM ----------

Wouldn't that be PR nightmare and pissed off customers? Most people order via carriers so it'll be bad for Samsung to say that they are sold out before even customers who pre-order thru carriers got their phones especially when they advertised about the offer. May be they keep separate buckets for all the carriers, Samsung.com orders etc so that everyone gets a fair chance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] marinebio94:
Previous releases weren't limited to 50k.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Semantics:
Let's be honest. The overwhelming majority of people buying this phone are not doing it through Samsung. Hell, I don't know a single person who knows the S8 is being released or what it even is. There will be plenty of promos for everyone. We tend to think everyone is the same type of enthusiast that we are, but it's not true. Hell I have friends using the LG G2 and iPhone 4 right now.

Just spoke to Customer retention because my S7E is near useless. They checked my order status and it has just "dropped to the warehouse" so I will be charged within the next 24-48 hours. She said the device would ship within the same time frame. I found it odd because I never received a text like many others. She had no answer for that.

Thoughts?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] truckerdewd:
No text for me either and I ordered at 6:30 pm central time on March 30th. Did JOD upgrade so there was no down payment. Have been worried cause the card I used that day had to be replaced so I called yesterday and talked to a rep about it and she said it might cause a problem when they go to ship it and they go to process the card even though there is no charge and it shows thst card as invalid so she processed a second JOD order yesterday on my wife's phone line and told me the original order would cancel when it went to ship cause the original card wouldn't go through. I have a feeling I will end with 2 Galaxy So phones on launch or none cause of this. My account only shows 1 being processed but 2 Jod turn in offers. I only need 1. I have T-MobileHelp looking into it on Twitter.

Sent from my wickedly awesome Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 using my S-Pen. Duh!!!

Here's my (pretty painless now that i've heard some of your horror stories) experience if it helps anyone. Called at 2 minutes to midnight ET. Did 5 preorder Jumps. Sat on the the phone with the rep for a while while she tried to do them all together and ended up doing them one at a time. She got through 3 (i signed the eip right away) and was supposed to do 2 more when the system came back up and call me back. Never called. So at about 2am I called, spoke to someone who put the last 2 in together. Just checked, all are the correct ones (s8+ black) and I forgot to even ask about the shipping but it says overnight. I want to start a thread about the Bull$hit 130 when JOD WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE ANY DOWN PAYMENTS BECAUSE IT DEFEATS THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF JOD. but yeah, gonna save it for another thread

S8 Midnight black preorder

I've preordered the S8 in midnight black a few minutes ago. In UK they will ship it 8 days earlier than the public launch which is on the 28.04.2017, so i'll get it on the 20'th :cowboy: The pricing it's a bit high on a monthly plan £68/month with an unlimited plan on Three UK. :cool: I hope it's gonna worth it! :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Rado_vr6:
Just pay the 130. It isn't a lot of money.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] tkmcguire1:
Ordered my S8 plus in orchid grey at midnight last night online. I was already signed into my account ready to go and had no problems was checked out in a few minutes. I'm Really excited to get it,been waiting for it since I had to return my note 7:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] LuigiBull23:
Maybe not to you.. Some of us are on a tight budget and can't afford to pay that much right now. And those on JOD such as myself were completely thrown off by that down payment anyways since they've never required one from us before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] cris_epic:
Dang I still can't preorder JOD online or by calling tmobile, I hope they arnt trying to make us get rid of JOD since its bad business for them, this is getting annoying, I already had to pay my bill upfront so that I dont have anything from stopping them from upgrading it

This just makes me want to try verizon...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] christophec:
The rep was so so so helpful. T-mobile rep has always been the best with me. First he told me I had no jump or JOD and I was not eligible.. Then he knew it was weird. And JOD was desactivated because of all the phone return 2 note 7 and 1 Samsung s7 edge.. He re activated it. He found it I was paying also a phone that was a loan still and he fix it and will be a huge amount of money back. The system was very very slow. He was telling me all the rep were working extra shift because of the demand, he was not a rep either but they asked him to help. He said they had 200 phone call awaiting per minute. It took 30 minute because of the slow system, he said they system was able to accept higher demand since the iPhone and Samsung pre order last year so he said this might be a new record of pre order.. Very helpful, ordered my s8 and sent me the eip, asked me to sign it right away to see if it went through so I didn't have to call back..

You don't know everybody living situation fam.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] billymalcolm:
Absolutely

I could not agree more. If I put 100 bucks down on a phone, not gonna use my jump for the next year at least. What's the point???

I'll never put a down payment like that down for as long as I am a JOD customer. Makes NO sense.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] DC2CA:
If you're on such a tight budget don't get a $900+ phone?? Or get the S8 with only a $30 down payment. Is JOD exempt from tax as well? You must have expected to pay something...

[Edit] Wow, nevermind. Saw your earlier post. Must be nice to not have to pay the extra $80+ in sales tax. [/]

From what I've read other places it has to do with the financing and a cap on monthly payments (possibly a consumer law?). If you're willing to take the time to research, please report back on your findings. Honestly it may just be an internal policy maximum for $ financed since they aren't doing credit pulls (afaik).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Nonbiasedhippo:
130$ down isn't really a lot...... 2-year contract prices would be like $250 for the S8 and $350 for the S8+....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] LuigiBull23:
Um... hello that's precisely why some of us are on a financing agreement.. because although these phones are quite expensive, a financed device IS something we can actually afford to pay on a monthly basis. The down payment was my only issue because no one on JOD expected to pay a down payment as it's never been required under their policy and it totally defeats the purpose of the concept. So yes, plenty of customers, namely, those on JOD, are having similar issues with this whole down payment thing.

And like [MENTION=1468652]charlieb620[/MENTION] said, you don't know everybody's living situation so please refrain from making such ignorant comments. And I say this with all due respect.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

Yeah but it threw a lot of us on JOD off because as per their policy, customers always had the ability to upgrade without having to pay any upfront costs so the down payment also being required for the 8+ on JOD was totally unexpected. It definitely defeats the purpose of the program.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Nonbiasedhippo:
Ah, I thought it had always been like this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] DC2CA:
Don't bother to reply? Then why reply to me? I'm not going to take the time to read the actual agreement you signed but from the JOD page it says the following:

"Zero upfront—switch to a new phone whenever you want, up to 3x a year, and pay nothing up front for base model of devices (ie: the 16GB model of iPhone 6s), for well-qualified buyers."
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Rado_vr6:
You're right, but I do have common sense and if 130 bucks is too much for an individual at the time, then they should be focusing on finances and not trying to find a way to get an 850 dollar phone.

But this is the American way. Get things that we can't possibly afford.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] sf103100:
i have to agree this is ridicules, those with JOD are eligible to get 3 phones per year why i the world i would pay $130 up front when i know i be jumping on Note8 when it comes out, Tmobile is the only company that charges up front ( Sprint Verizon have it a $0)
