How do I get my Free Samsung Gear VR over the Thanksgiving weekend?

On Thursday, 11/24 I purchased a Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge online thru Verizon Wireless. At that time, there was an offer to receive (my choice) of a free Samsung Gear VR headset, OR a $100 "one time" Samsung eVoucher good at www.samsung.com.

I can no longer find the link to this offer on the Verizon site. One phone just arrived this morning and the other is scheduled for this afternoon. My recollection is that the offer is only good for a couple more days. Can someone 1) verify my recollection of the offer and 2) tell me where I can find the link to said offer so I can claim it? Thanks.

Great offer. I upgraded to the Galaxy S7 Edge on Saturday, and received my phone Monday. I went to the Samsung website and submitted my claim Tuesday, and I received an email from Samsung this morning saying that my free gift had been approved. I'm waiting for the shipping email. It said I should receive the VR bundle within 2 weeks.

The original offer shown on the VZW website Thursday morning stated that there was a choice between the VR Gear and a $100 Samsung eVoucher. I have zero interest in the VR Gear but was going to use the eVoucher towards a Gear Smartwatch. Boo for either Verizon posting incorrect information, or Boo to Samsung for changing the offer. Wish I would have purchased my phones from Best Buy now who was offering a great Gift Card deal.

We're concerned to hear that you had difficulty with this promotion, CAPTJEFF and we want to make sure we have investigated this for you. I'm happy to help.

Just for clarification, did you attempt to claim the offer immediately following the purchase or did you wait a longer time frame? Did you run in to any specific error messages when claiming either of the two promotion? Please provide a few additional detail and we will be ready to continue helping.

On Thanksgiving day, the offer on the VZW website stated the Samsung offer was good for my choice of a free VR Gear OR a $100 Samsung eVoucher. I never had an interest in the VR Gear, but bought the S7 Edge from VZ with the intent on getting the voucher thru Samsung. However now when I go to the offer site, there is no option to get the voucher unless Samsung receives more than 100,000 requests for the VR Gear, then they can substitute with a voucher at their discretion.

CAPTJEFF, we are here to help straighten out this promotion. The details we have is that there were going to be 100,000 SamsungVR Holiday gift packs available and that then after those run out, customers would have the choice to wait for replenishment or get a $100 Samsung.com one-time use Reward e Certificate. Please check with Samsung on further details at 888-987-4357 or http://spr.ly/65848JCLj JoelRVZW
