Ever since 2023, I have been upgrading to the newest Ultra and I have noticed a few issues:
1) Samsung tends to release additional promotions and gifts for preordering a week or more after the launch like right now, they have a promotion of a free case
2) Different market platforms like the Samsung Shop, Samsung's Tiktok shop, In Store offers different perks like if you preorder via Tiktok shop you will be getting the galaxy watch as a gift but nothing for those who preordered via their official website or galaxy shop
While all of these issues relate to their promotions, I think that you should be consistent and fair as well especially to those who preorder earlier on. These promotions unfortunately are something that we can't enjoy because of your inconsistency. It somehow makes me rethink of purchasing the next Ultra next year. This is definitely frustrating as you are paying much but you don't get to enjoy all of the perks and promotions.
I also got zilch this year. And I agree with you. Some members had to cancel their zero hour orders to include the watch promo. I know they have waves. I'm not sure if the top ups are the same for later waves but its best to grab the last end of wave 1. I posted my pre-order during zero hour. 3am. Only the 8k additional was availed apart from the wave promos. Still it was a good trade. Not as good as the S24 before though.
Well, I used to pride myself in getting the best deals. Have ised the shop and online shop for quite sometime. But I kinda just went for it this time around. Another member here probably got the lowest TiTu deal of 27.7K and she got a watch and some more freebies. Now that'a a haul. Don't mind me, I just like upgrading 😅.
Better to pre-order via official website. Some of the social media accounts are not official and just run by third-party marketplace which they can't offer what is offered in official site or just not the same due to their limited resources.
