$50 credit for preordering?

I've looked in my Google Wallet, etc. I never received the $50 credit from Google. I ordered it within a minute after the Nexus 5x went live. Thanks in advance for the help.

I was under the impression that the phone comes with a physical card with a code redeemable for the $50 credit. I don't know if that's true or not, but I won't get concerned until after I get the phone tomorrow.

I was thinking the same thing, but I do remember reading that it was going to be emailed once the phone shipped. We'll see.

"Purchase a Nexus 5X by 10/25/2015 and get an email with a Google Play promotional credit once it ships. Redeem offer before 12/31/15. Terms apply.*"
So once your order ships, you should then receive an email with the promo credit attached.

i also am waiting for the email with $50 credit and code for half off nexus case.

My order has shipped and I did not receive a code.

I was hoping the same thing, that I could use the credit to purchase a case for the 5x. But the fine print on the Google store says:
"... Google Play credit cannot be used on the Google Store. Some subscriptions excluded. ..."
Looks like the credit can only be used for App purchases.

My bet it won't come until after the return period ends. If not a lot of people could buy a lot and then return them once they get the credit applied.

I contacted their support, was advised to wait up to 48 hours for the email. I've already received my 5x so only time will tell.

Usually they just reduce the refund by the card value if it was already redeemed.

I contacted Play Store costumer service and they said it should have come 24 hours after shipping. Mine shipped over 24 hours ago so I emailed my rep back to get things looked at more. I hope it comes soon! I got some things to download! x3

Same here. Has ANYONE received their $50 credit?

I just talked to Google rep. He said you should get email of it within 96 hours of after your phone has shipped.

I got mine a couple hours ago, phone arrived yesterday morning, so about 36 hours after receiving phone I got the code in my email.

My 5x was delivered yesterday. I set it up last night and overnight I received the $50 Credit.
It is just a code via email.

I received my 5X yesterday and I received the $50 credit email as I was setting up the phone and updating it last night.

My phone shipped on Wednesday. I didn't receive my phone yet, but I received the code via email for two phones.

My phone shipped Wed., got the code today. Kinda felt deceived by the case promotion since it was only for the Adopted case. I thought it would be for any case in the Google Store. Pretty disappointed by that.

Daydream View promo code?

Has anyone that ordered their Pixel from Google received their code for the Daydream View yet? Says on the Google Store that is will ship in 2-3 weeks. Just curious.

we get the code 4 weeks after purchase, read the email they sent you after your preorder.
Thanks for being one of the first to order Pixel, a phone by Google. Because you made your purchase during the pre-order period, you're eligible to receive the new Daydream View virtual reality headset on us.
Within approximately four weeks of your phone shipping, you will receive a promo code via email which you can use to redeem your Daydream View on Google Store, as long as you didn't cancel your order or return your Pixel phone. Full terms of the promotion can be found below.*
Get ready to experience high-quality, immersive VR with your Pixel and Daydream View.
Sincerely,
The Google Store Team

To be fair, "Within approximately four weeks of your phone shipping" could mean anytime between the day your phone ships and six weeks from then.

I could've sworn I had already received the code and submitted my receipt to Verizon. But now I can't find the email to save my life

I had received the code and submitted my claim. It says that they received my information and said try back in a week. This is threw vzw not Google tho.

Can I order and ship to a no sales tax state?

I'm about to order a 128GB Pixel XL and Daydream VR (I missed out on the free promo). If I have it shipped to me in Texas, it will cost me over $78 in taxes, almost enough to pay for the Daydream! If I can get them shipped to my brother in New Hampshire, there will be no sales tax and he can re-ship them to me for under $10.
Does anyone know if I can do this on the Google Store? It seems like it would be the same as if I bought something as a gift; use my card and billing address, but use his shipping address. According to this: https://support.google.com/store/answer/6160272?hl=en you're charged tax for the state it's shipped too, and says nothing about the state it's billed to. I'd like to hear from someone this has worked for.

Were you able to enter your billing and shipping addresses separately on the Google waitlist? That's basically what I'm trying to find the answer to. I'm eligible for the T-Mobile $325 credit for the phone, but hope to save the exorbitant Texas sales tax while I'm at it.

Okay thanks. I just put myself on the waiting list too, so hopefully I'll be able to put in separate addresses when/if it's available.
I'd still like to hear from someone that has done this. I can't be the only person to try it to save sales tax.

New Pixel XL 2 Order Funds withdrawn from bank today

I pre ordered a 64gb Pixel XL black. I show a shipping date of Oct 17th. My bank account was charged this morning for for the phone. Is anyone else having this issue? I should not have been charged Until the phone ships.

The amount is reserved from your credit card, and charged just before the phone is shipped. You won't be charged by your bank until the phone is shipped.

That is the way it has always been. Yes my account was charged for the total amount. I have checked my shipping status and nothing has changed. It could be the phone has shipped. I had read here on XDA that someone had indicated their shipping status had changed to shipped.

£799 isn't for me, it doesn't offer enough change to warrant that............Mate 10 looks more interesting

I just ordered my Pixel XL 2. Have not checked bank charge online yet to see if they billed card yet

I ordered but have not gotten a initial hold charge on my card...should I be worried

Anyone going to send their old one in for buy back?
Also T-mo is offering to pay for half of one if you bring it over....

I was charged as well, mine shows an arrival date of the 20th-24th for the Pixel 2 XL 64GB black.

I am sending my Pixel XL in after I receive the new one. Google is offering the highest trade value @ $400 verses $300 on Verizon.

Whenever I've ordered a phone, I have never gotten charged until it shipped. My galaxy s7 edge preorder was that way. I got a shipping notice within a day I think? Anyway, *hopefully* that means they are shipping early! I would be thrilled. This sammy phone needs to gtfo... Anyway, I checked my finance site, shows pending still. Not sure if the financing deal will work the same though. I would think it would though in case you decided to cancel the order. I guess we'll see! Update this for sure if you get a shipped notice!

I have been using swappa sense 2012. I just sold my PixelXL 32gb for $430. - shipping not much difference. I will trade in next time.

I signed up for the trade in, but I'll see what my 128GB Pixel XL is going for on Swappa and eBay before I decide to send it to Google or not. I'd like to sell my cases, screensavers, and original Daydream with the phone, and of course Google won't give me anything for them.

It's not a charge. It's a pending authorization to make sure the funds are in your account. This usually drops off in 2 to 10 business days if the phone has not shipped by then. It's a very common practice I don't know why people think it's going to ship early.

You sure it won't mess up your order if you don't follow through with the trade-in? I called and was told it would. You might want to check it out.

What did they tell you exactly? Since you don't send in the trade in until after you receive the new phone, I would think that all they can do is void the trade in deal. If I can sell it for more than the trade in, that is what I would want anyway.

The recovery kit has already been shipped to me. It should be here tomorrow. I should know more then.. They said if I don't follow through with the trade-in my order would be be voided. I was shocked! He said, I'd have to cancel my order and re-order if I was going to sell my phone to my friend.

I don't really believe that, because my order was placed on the 4th with trade-in. My order shipped on the 30th. Estimated delivery of Nov 4-6. I need that new phone in my hands before I even think of sending my XL back, and that will be over the 30 days. So if I have the 2XL in my hands, how would me not following through with the trade-in affect my order? Doesn't make sense.. 30 days starts when you receive the new phone; your order can't be affected by you sending/not sending your old phone in.

I am. $400 for a used 32 GB Pixel XL Black was too much to pass up. $500 for the new pixel is fine with me. I wasn't even considering it until I saw how much they are offering for 1st gens.

I don't believe that either. When checking out with the trade-in, it was almost like a separate line item or transaction. You have to pay full price up front for the phone and I really doubt they would void your purchase after already shipping your new Pixel XL 2.
If I had a bunch of extra accessories, I'd definitely try to sell it as a bundle for more.

US Samsung.com Ultra Pre Order

Just placed any unlocked 512 ultra order.
Shipping date March 4th. Haven’t got the confirmation email yet tho.

My website isn't working and keeps erroring. I also am not getting the additional $35 dollars, maybe I need to wait for an email tomorrow to get that.

Shop Samsung app kept hanging. Tried for about 15 minutes on app and website. Finally got through on the website.

Got through on website and ordered. However, I didn't see my additional $35 for pre-preordering. Guess I'll have to ask about that later.
Don't forget to load cashback. It's 10% right now.

Ordered at 12:03, got a leather case and buds+ with the $200 credit. (You must use credit at checkout or you lose it)
I am getting the S20 Ultra Cosmic Grey with 128GB and trading in a S10e for 300 discount. (I paid 400 for it on black friday so not too bad)
Order confirmed and processing 10 minutes after order placed. Est ship date 3/4. Samsung is usually early tho-Early orders may arrive by the 4th.

Pre-ordered the 128GB version. Still debating if I want to keep the order or keep the note 10+.
I like my S-Pen but I also like high touch refresh. Plus the S20 is an unlocked version, my note 10+ is Verizon. Hopefully some full reviews come out soon.

Same here, cant see my $35 preorder info?

I missed out on note 10. I ordered the s10+ last year
I would get the note10+ 5g for tmo if I got one because it is shockingly wider than the s20 ultra. I have how they are making the phones longer to inflate the screen size specs.

Just preordered S20 Ultra and Galaxy Watch 2, and traded in my Note 10+, paid $845 for all. Used the $200 credit for the watch.

I always stay away from chrome when placing a pre order. I don’t know why chrome always sucks during pre order. Maybe too many connections from same browsers.

Screens are same width, along with more usable width with slightly less curve on s20ultra. Pretty much a wash. I do agree that a wider phone, back to 18:9 would be nice.

I placed my order for othe ATT 128GB Ultra - got the 200 credit to buy ear buds - and after I completed the order received an email confirming my order and another email with the $35 credit which I can use on Samsung Shopping....that email said somehting like they noticed it didn't offer it to me when I placed my order so they wanted to make sure I received it.

I was confused by the discount as well, but I got $200 + $35 from the accessories page.

You don't get the $35 on the ultra, which is dumb.

Not for the ultra. It's excluded. I'm contacting them now to find out for sure

You had to use the reservation link to get the $35. They gave me the credit after the fact because I didn't order from the reservation link.
