Hi all,

 

I had pretty bad experience with phone + watch promotion. You can read all details here: 

https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/wearables/frustrating-experience-with-samsung-promotions-claim-rejected/m-p/10918563#M36478

On September 15th, I purchased two Galaxy S24 phones through Odido, taking advantage of a promotion that offered a free Galaxy Watch 7 with the purchase of the phone. This promotion was one of the key reasons I opted for the S24, especially since the S23 came with a tablet, which I already own.

Since September 15th was the last day of the promotion, I made sure to order both phones online on that day. Part of the process required me to register the phones on Samsung’s promotions page, where I had to provide proof of purchase and the IMEI numbers for both phones. I used the contract I received via email from Odido as my proof of purchase, and at the time, this was accepted.

Here’s where it gets complicated:

  • A few days after ordering, I went to the store to pick up the phones and paid the remaining amount in person. With the phones in hand and all the required info, I filled out the claims for both watches on Samsung’s site.
  • For one phone, my claim was approved, and I received the watch a few weeks later.
  • However, for the second phone, the claim kept getting rejected.
  • Samsung is asking for receipt for second phone, which is from the shop so few days after promotion ended> im stuck here

As you can find out from online thread on samsung that was never resolved and they just refusing my second watch. anyone experienced that and can advise how to fix it ?

Hi Agnes, welcome to our Community, and great choice on the Samsung Galaxy S24! I'm sorry to hear about your experience with Samsung because of this promotion. I've read your conversation on their Community, and I completely understand that you're not happy with the answers you've been given. Especially, because you've explained the situation about picking up your phone a few days later. However, I do understand that they rejected the registration based off the invoice that you received in the shop with the date of September 17th. 

But don't worry. I get this question a lot, and I'm going to help you with this. I've checked both of your orders, and I see that they indeed have been done on the 15th, so you do have the right to claim this promotion for your second order. On the 17th of September, we've sent you a confirmation mail. Please send this mail to Samsung (via the Community or WhatsApp). I know that a lot of our customers reach out on WhatsApp, and they get helped very quickly. In this confirmation mail under 'Je gegevens’ we show the order date of 15-09-2024. Please also make this clear to the Samsung employee that you're speaking to. This should help you get your registration accepted. Important: Please double check which order has been accepted already, and use the confirmation mail from the order that has been declined. 

Please let me know what their reaction is to your confirmation mail. I can also contact Samsung and fix this, but I'm sure with this e-mail as proof, they will accept the registration. I hope to hear (good news) from you soon! 😊


that sounds great! I really hope it will work. I cant find email from 17th September.

I find only this one from 15th (samenvatting contract was attached) and it says below:

Is that what you mean? I somehow doubt it will help as they insisting on an invoice :(

 


Hi Agnes, that's also good. The screenshot you sent me is exactly the same as I meant. I've sent you the confirmation mail again just in case. But the mail that you took this screenshot of with the order date of 15-09-2024 should be enough. I understand that you're doubting this right now after the other rejections, but please try it one more time. Please let me know if the accept or decline it. Otherwise, I can contact them! 😄
