Boycott Samsung?

[MalcolmD]

Like others I'm disgusted to find out that after I bought the phone because of the promo they won't honor it. When I do buy my next earbuds they will definitely not be a Samsung product. I'm pretty sure they will lose more revenue in the future from my not choosing Samsung products than they would by honoring the promo.

Personally, I'd never buy a phone based on a promo. Probably wouldn't buy anything based on a promo, you either want the product you're buying or not.

But yeah, if you purchased it & met the requirements for the promo, that's different.

Think it spells out quite clearly that the promo is for the first 17,750 phones only.

problem is most of us pre-ordered before the cutoff date but our carriers weren't able to secure stock or whatever their excuse is. I pre-ordered on the 25th, I should have been eligible. My phone was delayed and delivered conveniently the Monday after the promo ended. I was told I would get these freebies if I upgraded. now because of Samsung & Rogers I'm SOL.

Hi MalcolmD, Please note that according to the terms and conditions of the offer, there are only 17,750 Early Bird bonuses claimed by eligible customers who qualifed based on the conditions set out on a first come basis. While quantities last. No rain checks.

I think that there's a valid concern here. If the phone was pre-ordered & the issue was that Samsung was unable to deliver it in time to claim the e-voucher, as one of the first 17,750, seems that it's on Samsung to make some kind of concession.

What's interesting is that Samsung then ran a Flash Sale offering Ear Buds, which they will say they are allowed to offer this promotion, but really it just leave a bad taste in the mouth of all the people who purchased the phone with the promise of the early bird promotion, only to find out they've "run out" of evouchers.
