    Hi all,
    I preordered the galaxy S10+ and was told that I could redeem free galaxy buds from the galaxy members app on my new phone, however there is no benefits option as stated on the preorder page or in the screenshots for the app.
    I'm wondering if it is working for any of you?

    Same for me. It must be specific to Ireland as my friend in UK can see it using the same app version.

    I've already called and sent screenshots of the problem to the promotional team.
    They said they're looking into it but they can't notify me when it's fixed.
    I'll be keeping an eye on it

    Same here. Bought the s10+ from amazon.uk and cant see how to make the claim inside the galaxy members app.

    I put the claim through https://20191.samsungpromotions.claims/ie/en/claims/galaxybuds/get-started but still haven't received their confirmation email but I do have a claim ID

    Just use the link from @Davy above. That's exactly what the benefit section in the Samsung Members App, would be linking you too. I did it via the website yesterday evening and got a response today...... They are reviewing my claim and will be back to me within 7 days.

    Was onto three chat this morning about getting a proof of purchase receipt (the one Samsung show on there examples) and the feckers still haven't sent it on

    For IMEI numbers do you put in the gaps when you *#06# on the phone??

    You just put in the imei number as it is, no spaces. You'll also find it on the side of the Galaxy S box. Hope I'm understanding you correctly.

    Do u put the * in or just the numbers???

    Bit confusing when you use the keypad way cause they have gaps near the end of the number

    On the Samsung members app found an IMEI number with no / brackets under my products. So do I put that in??

    Go to Settings/About Phone and put in the 15 digit IMEI (slot 1) number. It's 15 digits long with numbers only, and no gaps.

    Got my email this morning to say claim has been validated and will be shipped within 30 days.

    Mine is crazy slow. Applied on Sunday and it's still not confirmed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8 JSquiggle


    I have applied for mine and am waiting on it to be validated using the link provided above


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,819 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Applied last night

    Screen shotted the confirmation email for my phone which was ordered on the 21st Feb. Three eventually send me on a proof of purchase but the idiots had the order date down as the 8th March. Hoping the documents I send will work too good of an opportunity too let slip


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19 sensational swartz


    I applied Sunday with my three pre order email confirmation and the dispatch email and I got my confirmation mail this morning from Samsung. Apparently they'll ship within 30 days. I applied through the site because it was not appearing in the Samsung members app for me. So your pre order confirmation emails should be enough


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,859 ✭✭✭MiskyBoyy


    They're definitely a lot faster then the Gearfit offer with the S7. Took 19 days between received and validated back then. Only took 1 day this time around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 140 ✭✭DylanK


    Just got a text stating my claim for the earbud has been validated :D

    "Your free Samsung Galaxy Buds (white) will be dispatched to the postal address you gave on your claim within the next 30 days by courier"

    All free buds as part of the pre-order are white. Its in the t&c's as below:
    You could sell them and purchase the black ones once stock is available.
    Participants who pre-order a new (i.e. not second hand) qualifying Samsung product as shown below in Table 1 (a “Promotion Product”) from a Participating Retailer shown in Table 1 below (“Participating Retailer”) in the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man or Republic of Ireland within the Promotion Period will be eligible to claim a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds in white by redemption (the “Reward”)

    Anyone been able to successfully claim preorder buds with three?
    Sent in a copy of my original order confirmation email (including email date of 21st feb) and it got rejected for the following:

    "Please provide a clear copy of your proof of purchase, that clearly shows the eligible pre-order date"

    Anyone who has been successful, what did you submit?

    Thanks!

    Yeah I just used snipping tool to show date email received plus order confirmation number etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,819 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Heard noting back yet applied Monday night

    Bet there will be a problem with the proof of purchase as it was a screenshot of the phone order confirmation email and then after I asked three they sent me on one but put the order date as 08th March


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 305 ✭✭Talula_d


    I ordered with three, and just used the invoice docket that was sent out with the phone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,819 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Claim successfully validated will have my buds in the next 30 days ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
