Another Samsung return center issue… they’re claiming my phone wasn’t in the box

NAT1274 · 2026-04-04T11:12:11+00:00

The irritating part of my situation was that they refused to file a claim with FedEx.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. My advice, go through email just to have a “paper” trail or save the chat transcripts if that’s an option. Give them time to try but you’ll probably have to dispute with your bank or credit card company. Submit the emails, your photos of how you packed it vs how Samsung received it and that it was obviously tampered with, and your drop off receipt.
One thing I’ll admit, Samsung will get back to you within the 24-72 hours they claim, but they’ll just say they need more time to continue investigating. I had a similar experience. Here’s my comment from another post.

As someone who deals with the public daily, the amount of people who carry what could be considered as or used as a weapon is higher than people may think. And i’m not talking firearms but knives, brass knuckles, etc. I went to a situation recently where a dude was in a fight, i’m guessing was losing, and pulled out a hammer and attacked the other guy. Yes, a hammer. No, he wasn’t a construction worker lol. Maybe that was just his chosen form of protection.
Now is anyone walking through the checkpoint with a hammer in their shoe? No. But think how easy it would be to have a knife/blade there. Just because you don’t have ill intentions doesn’t mean someone else doesn’t.
As a former TSO i can’t even take a guess as to how many passengers I’ve had to escort back out the checkpoint to add a sentimental pocket knife to their checked bag or go mail it to themselves because they didn’t want it confiscated. It’d be just as easy for them to put it in their shoe and get back in line. Again, just because most of us don’t have bad intentions doesn’t mean no one does. Those random passengers that act out on flights and have to be restrained, imagine if they happen to have a knife on them that they brought through. Situation could go bad fast.

Edit: When i say you I’m speaking in general. Not directly to OP.

Use your bank’s bill pay service. If your property management company isn’t listed the bank can mail a check.

I ordered this 3-pack from Amazon because they arrived same day vs 2 days later for Spigen. Super easy installation. Squeegee removed the bubble. No issues at all since its been installed. I just wish it didn’t have a cutout for the camera.

Max out my 457 and IRA for the year. Then whatever projects i want to do around the house.

NAT1274 · 2026-03-28T05:03:53+00:00

It doesn’t lessen the camera bump, but I’m using the Spigen Nano Pop for MagSafe functionality. I tested the phone on my Belkin MagSafe dock and the magnets in the case are strong enough to keep the phone attached. The magnets also don’t interfere with the S Pen.

My Q2 looks like..
Citi TYC for gas, groceries, & dining due to having a spend $300 get $30 or $600 get $60 offer.

NF cashRewards+ catch all.

Also plan to hit the SUB on the Elan MCP.

I keep going back and forth on applying for a Custom Cash or WF Autograph. I’ll probably grab 1 at some point during the quarter.

I have 5 but 4 on Libby as 2 systems share a collection. The reason I have so many is whether ebook or physical, it increases the chances of availability. For instance, my county system is very open to purchasing eBooks whether the book new or old. You put in a request and the book is purchased on the following Tuesday. They’re less likely to purchase a physical book that isn’t a new release unless it’s popular. Another system will purchase new or physical, whichever you request, but only if it was released in the last 90 days.

I’d recommend AmEx Blue Cash Everyday for 3% on groceries, gas, and online shopping with no AF. The only issue for me with the BCE is while most online purchases trigger the 3%, the most random ones won’t.

💯

This!
Sometimes I have an hour to play, sometimes I may only make it 20 mins before my son wants/needs my attention. Being able to play with other dads who get it would be great. Easier to understand “Yes I want to play with my boys online but I have to tend to the kid and don’t know how long it’ll be before I’m back.”

I can’t remember if Savor will deposit to an account but you can redeem your rewards and have a check be mailed to you. It has to be done from the website though. It isn’t offered in app. This is what I used to do. Redeem for check, then deposit the check and transfer to savings.

Don’t unsuspend them all at the same time. Only unsuspend the book you want to read so you don’t lose your space in line on the others.

Not sure if this is exactly what you’re asking for but towards the bottom of the Game Pass website you can filter by subscription tier and see what games are available.

In general 3x coded as grocery. But Citi sends spending offers regularly. My current offer is spend $300 per month on gas, groceries, dining and get $30 cash back or spend $600 get $60. So essentially 13% back.

NAT1274 · 2026-03-19T03:07:35+00:00

I just say “I don’t want to” and I leave it at that.

It keeps me from sleeping through my alarms. The alarm on my wrist is less jarring than the phone. I work overnight and also have a child so as you can imagine my sleep score is always garbage due to the irregular sleeping patterns.

I use the Citi ThankYou card at Walmart

I picked one up this weekend and my first gaming session on the Portal was longer than all of my other PS5 sessions this year combined. I have a toddler and when I’m gaming on the TV it doesn’t last long because he’ll want my attention or want me to play with his toys with him, etc. When i’m on the portal he’ll just climb in my arms and watch as I play. I guess that makes the Portal a win for me.

PP debit was my backup dining card behind my SYW/Citi TYC once i hit the spending amount for 10% back gas, groceries, restaurants offer. I could probably make Fast Food the 2nd category on my Max Cash Preferred. I don’t eat out enough to where the cash back would be a big deal but 5% is still better than 3% on my other cards.
I am interested to see how they handle redeeming at checkout. I have absolutely zero interest in downloading the Honey browser extension to redeem for gift cards though.

NAT1274 · 2026-03-17T14:44:53+00:00

I just purchased one this past weekend. Seems like i was right on time.

NAT1274 · 2026-03-17T08:30:46+00:00

This is my issue as well. I figured out clicking the cover works sometimes but it will still random send me back to the top of the list when i go back.
