Samsung Will Credit You $100 If You Exchange Your Note 7 For Another Samsung Phone (mashable.com)

In an effort to presumably stop customers from jumping ship to the iPhone 7 or other non-Samsung device, Samsung is offering up to $100 in credit to every customer who exchanges their Note 7 for another Samsung smartphone. Mashable reports: The company said so in its updated Note 7 recall page which plainly states that the recall has now been expanded to "all Galaxy Note 7 devices," and asks consumers with a Note 7 to power it down and return it to the place of purchase. Bear in mind that the new offer, which goes live on Oct. 13 at 3 p.m. ET, is only for U.S. customers, as users in other parts of the world have different recall programs in place. Furthermore, if you've already exchanged your Note 7 for another Samsung smartphone, you "will receive up to a $75 bill credit from select carrier or retail outlets in addition to the $25 you previously received." Even if you exchange your Note 7 for another brand or ask for a refund, you will still receive a $25 bill credit from select carriers and retailers -- again, less any incentive credits you've already received. "As a sign of our appreciation for your patience and loyalty, we are offering up to a $100 bill credit from select carrier or retail outlets if you exchange your Galaxy Note 7 for another Samsung smartphone, less any incentive credits already received," Samsung wrote.

Can I still buy a Note7?

long profit() {

• return -buyNote7() + refundNote7() + 100 + profit();

}

Re:Are there strings attached?

No, but since they've completely refunded your money and all carrier fees and taxes are being dropped, you're going to have a hard time arguing in court that you suffered anything more than the (minor) inconvenience of having to send the phone back in a pre-paid, no cost box they send to you, or turning it in at your place of purchase. I'm not sure you can get pain and suffering compensation because you got butt hurt over Apple fanboi comments on your Facebook feed.

One HUNDRED Dollars?!

Shit, Samsung, one hundred dollars will barely buy a band aid in the burn ward! I needs at least FIVE hundred dollars, if you want my forgiveness!
