We promised our non-U.S. TouchPad fans that we’d have some app promo codes for them too, and the first three are now available exclusively for users in Canada, the UK and Ireland. Once again, these are first-come, first-served, so grab them now -- previous codes for the U.S. were snapped up in a matter of hours.
A few reminders about promo codes:
The codes below will not work for users in any countries other than Canada, the UK and Ireland.
If you’re having any trouble when trying to use the codes, make sure your TouchPad is running the latest system software and App Catalog (check the “System Updates” and “Software Manager” apps on your device for updates).
If you already have a promo code stored in your profile, you may want to spend that balance first. Alternatively, check this article on PreCentral for some tips on getting the most from your promo codes.

A bit like Tesco's iPads
This whole story smells a little like the recent scandal with the Tesco offer to sell the new iPad 3 for £49.99
For those who don't know it, due to a 'computer'(?) error, Tesco advertised the wrong price (a 90% discount), a lot of people ordered - and were told that Tesco will not supply at this price. It is still hotly debated in the (social and mainstream) media.
In this case there isn't a price error - just a poorly designed promotion site where the O2 condition is buried in a separate PDF 'Terms and conditions' document (which, naturally, nobody reads) and is not mentioned anywhere on the actual promotion page. Many people - yours truly included - naively filled the form, only to be told they are not eligible.
Despite the 'Sony' domain, this is not Sony - they have their epic gaffes but cannot be so unprofessional. The UK promotion is outsourced (possibly by O2) to an outfit called 'Mad About Handling Ltd' run by a couple, Annabel and Angus Gilmour. Their 'professionalism' shines in that form and website - and in the subsequent handling of complaints.
Some victims may wish to run a retaliation campaign on Twitter and Facebook - like the Tesco crowd, who are currently causing serious reputation damage to the retailer. I wouldn't bother, though -
Just ignore!

This isnt anything to try and catch people out, on the launch of the Xperia S, stock in O2 stores was supposed to come with 4 SmartTags in the box but Sony weren't able to do so in time for the launch offer, so customers were told to go to that site to redeem the offer. All stock in O2 stores now should come with 4 SmartTags in the box.

Tesco are suffering serious damage to their reputation over it? I really doubt anybody truly cares as long as they can get everything they want under one roof still.
As for the smart tag promotion, the address for the site was given to customers instore at o2, so there is no logical reason why anyone from another UK network would get the address and try to apply unless your network provided you with the promotional leaflet. So nobody was hiding the o2 clause in the t&c's, it is there, because the offer is only open to o2.
The two stories couldn't really be further apart.
I should point out that I do agree that it is stupid that it is just open to o2 customers. Why have the feature if you won't let everyone use it?!
Our company (brand: ibolt.co) is a manufacturer of "hardware" accessories for Smartphones. A particular app, which is currently being sold on the Google Play store for less then $5. We wish to bundle this app (=include at no additional cost) and "give" to anyone buying our hardware accessory. The challenge is that from our understanding the Google Play store does NOT offer the option of entering a (for example) a 12 or 15 digit randomly generated code that we as hardware sellers could include in each package of product shipped to consumers. This would be "pre-paid" to the developer and Google (yes, they need their share I guess...).
The option of "sideloading" and providing a link via email is not a real option either as this would eliminate the verification/app protection process currently in place for the Developer to avoid that there's an unprotected app "out there" that would surely be posted on file sharing/black market type sites immediately.
For reference our "hardware" products will mostly be shipped from Amazon or purchased by the consumer in a Telecom store type Sprint, Verizon dealer. We would like to have a sticker/image on the box saying "Android app XX" included, value $4.99" or something similar.
QUESTION: Is there any technical option of solving this and including an Android app together with a piece of "hardware" and still protect the Developer with regards to license verification etc.? We are hoping there's a solution out there as many Corporate applications are "sideloaded", yet they must have some protection in place...

I don't think this is possible with the play store. The next best thing I can think of is for you to refund your customers directly (ie: make them purchase the app and then refunding them the money via a coupon code or something included with the hwardware.)

i ws thinking the same, but since you are selling your hardware in amazon, why not check if amazon app store has something to offer you?
What about in app purchase?
You can make the application free on the market, but then make your own arrangements with your customers

I just received the same message. I have yet to find anything.
Synapsy not paying developers
Hey saw your post, I found on this games news site that they were being sued and not paying developers.
http://thegamingpost.com
They posted the story, I got the same emails for every app I have in google play.
When I contact Google Support about the issue I was told they were taking appropriate legal action against Synapsy.
So from what I can see I'd say dont touch them with a ten foot pole.
Also my friend Rob said that when he published his game there and he made the benchmark of $200 Euro in the account, They told him he is due for a payment, But he wont get it until they (Synapsy) Gets the money from the MNO aka Carrier i.e. Telstra etc.
Its been 64 days and he hasn't been paid.
So no I would say its a bad deal all the way around, And these dudes is dirty getting U.S. Developers to publish with them and not pay them, It is just wrong.
Maybe the FTC or the government will step in, Or maybe this company is suing them and Google will join them, I don't know.
But it doesnt look good for them.
I knew there's something fishy with them, I wasn't going to let them distribute anything anyway
no problem

I wanted to register for the promotion and receive a free wireless charger but so far, they haven't even enabled registration on their promo website.
https://www.samsung.com/au/note8-wirelesscharger-offer
None of the links to the registration form actually work. The site says to register when you receive your device (which I have) but doesn't say that the registration will open on a certain date. The promo ends tonight but I can't see why they'd have to wait until the promo ends before opening up registrations.
Can anyone else access the registration form?
It is live now. But the form seems broken. The address lookup field...doesn't look up anything. So the form stays incomplete. I have tried with different browers and devices with the outcome the same.

I had the same issue. Did not work on my Firefox or Chrome. For some reason it worked fine on my wife's PC (firefox), with the address field popping out.
However...... Prepare for a nightmare.
I just wasted over an hour fighting with the website with issues, and then having Vodafone telling me to call Samsung, and Samsung telling me to call Vodafone. What a mess. The biggest issue comes from the Proof of purchase number. There isn't one.
The Proof of purchase receipt that I have scanned does not show it and Vodafone support says that they don't have a Proof of purchase number to give me, with the final verdict being to "just type in your account number". Seriously.
Next on the list is if I use the field "Previous note 7 owner" then the web page will refuse to load to the next page. It's screwed. Vodafone instructed me to say that I did NOT own a note 7 even though I actually did own one ...through Vodafone themselves. Now my form has gone through with seeming "false" information and both Vodafone and Samsung are claiming "it might be okay". Currently I have zero faith in this clustertruck.

I logged into My Vodafone and found a form to request the Proof of Purchase document. They'll send it to me via email in the next couple of days. Be interesting to see if this mythical "Proof of Purchase number" is on this document. If not, I can see both Samsung and Vodafone finding themselves in legal hot water over what appears to be a promotion that is impossible to actually redeem. If they make this too difficult, I'll put in a complaint to the ACCC as this kind of thing is illegal.
Just registered for my wireless charger this afternoon, w00t! Hopefully these don't take forever to confirm and ship like the S7 Gear VR's did. lol..
Has anyone that registered for the promo received any confirmation from Samsung? I asked Vodafone for a Proof of Purchase but it didn't have all of the information Samsung is demanding. I used it for my registration anyway as Vodafone don't provide any documentation that complies with Samsung's demands. I'm waiting to see if they accept it anyway. If they don't, I'll lodge a complaint against Samsung and Vodafone (because they advertised the promotion on their site) with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). Samsung can't offer a promotion with conditions that are impossible to fulfil and Vodafone shouldn't advertise that promotion if they can't provide the required documents to enable a customer to participate. I'll drag both of them through the legal mud by their balls if I have to.
completed it 11 days ago and got an email saying they will respond in up to 15 days whether I got my "gift" or not.
That was a week ago...
I used my receipt number in the proof of purchase number but I paid through Paypal. Waiting to see how they will deal with that...
Going back and checking There is a reference number and a link to check how the redemption is going. Clicking the link sends me to a site asking for the reference number and my registered email. After entering the data I get a message here -
Mines approved. Waiting to be shipped.
Registered the day it went live, still status is registered
Also does anyone know why America and other country got more pre order gifts than us?
Other country had the choice of either a wireless charger, and a 128gbSD card or a VR camera and a SD card,.
Just wondering
Received this email today.
Dear Samsung Note8 Customer,
We hope you are enjoying your new Note8.
We would like to apologise for the delays in processing your claim for the Samsung Wireless Charger Promotion. The demand for the Wireless Charger has exceeded expectations and overwhelmed our promotions team.
Rest assured though, we have expanded the team and are working hard to get through the claims as quickly as possible. You will receive an email once your claim has been processed and also when your Wireless Charger has been shipped.
In the meantime, if you would like to check the status of your claim, please access the redemption website here.
Thank you for your patience.
Yours,
Samsung Promotions Team
Looks like I'm going to waiting forever.
Yep, got the same notice and a couple hours later got a notification that my purchase docs had been validated but now it would take (up to) 5 days to validate my IMEI... If the IMEI is deemed not valid they will let me know...
How nice, you have a wonderful new toy, the receipt is fine but the IMEI may not be valid... Awaiting Validation Limbo...
Seriously, WTF?!!!

still waiting on the "Loyalty bonus" thing as well... very poorly communicated thing that we should be very pleased and excited about but now am just tired and angry about.
Well that was a drama and a half... Finally got the "Congratulations" email. Now it will only take up to a month to send out...
It's like the star wars saga, it just keeps going even after you think it is finished for good.....

by not saying you had a note 7 you may have missed out on the $250 note 7 loyalty promotion,i didn't have proof that i use to have 2 note 7s' on contract,i got telstra to print out my contract details,Samsung sent back an email saying, as you are also eligible for a bonus $250 Samsung online promotion code, we have transferred your claim to the 'Galaxy Note7 Loyalty Reward Offer' website.,which made me have to wait longer,everything now has been verified and i was told to wait up to 30 business days,as from today i have a week to go.i sent them an email saying the note 9 will be out by the time i get my charger.
