Samsung promotion ****

Whilst purchasing a Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5g I qualified for Samsung promotional gifts being R1000 discount on their estore and also a free 32 inch television. I followed their instructions in applying for the promotion (ie. Sending proof of payment etc), but heard nothing back. After more than a month later I was informed that my application was denied. I have sent numerous emails and made calls in order to adres any issues with no success. I resent documents to them and folllwed them up over and over. After 4 months of attempting to resolve this I have realised exactly what was happening... In my experience the promotion is a **** and they basically entice buyers to proceed with procurement of exceptionally expensive phones and promise free gifts. All the promises are lies and they do not deliver. Their customer service is non existent and they never return calls or reply to emails. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Samsung.

As an update to this Samsung as sidestepped and took a loophole. It illustrates that they will do anything not to fullfill their promises. They have now stated that the item was purchased by myself and as a result the tv licence required for the free tv must be in my name. Our household does have a valid tv license but it is in my wifes name. A tv licence that we have used to purchase a samsung tv before. Then it was fine, but now it is not. They really are slimy and will do anything. Do yourself a massive favoir and do not support Samsung. Their business practices are terrible.
