According to Best Buy website (not location specific), the N3 is excluded.
Hmm. Well 2 best buy stores both told me it qualifies so I'm gonna hold them to it. :)
Do you think it would be any different for "in store" purchases?

I plan to get them to price match the AT&T store which is normally much cheaper (like $60+ some of the time). So I don't think they'll give me the gift card too :p I buy from there only because of my rewards membership.

Best buy is giving a $50 gift card when you purchase a galaxy phone. Confirmed that the note3 qualifies. Don't know if it's different in other regions, I'm in the Atlanta area.

Not giving a $50 gift card, they make you pay $50 for the pre order. They just put the $50 you paid on a gift card.

I called the best buy customer service number yesterday and they told me my pre order was back ordered for 2 weeks. I was pissed and hung the phone up!! Hopefully what we all can do is try talking to the bbm reps first to see if they can take money off maybe $10-20off because it says in the fine print that if the release date changes, that we are supposed to get an email saying that the dates have changed and our phone is coming out on a different date. If they try to hassle you then talk to the store manager and then if that does not work write and call corporate they hate getting emails about fine print and horrible experiences.

Just went into BB and they were unbox in a bunch of black ones. Salesperson told me they are for people who pre-ordered only.

Well it sounds promising. I'm glad theyre going to have it the same time. For the Note 1 and 2, Best Buy didn't even get theirs until a month after.

I think I should just cancel my (Best Buy) web "pre-order" cause I chatted with them, they say they're going to ship on that day too and not earlier. Might as well just head to a local Best Buy on Friday.

I am in a fairly highly populated area. West Palm Beach.

I called one BB, and they said they had three. Didn't tell me how many pre-orders they had.

I called another one and they said pre-orders would be filled first, but wouldn't tell me how many they had in stock, or how many pre-orders they have.

So be careful letting a bird in the hand get away.

What I meant is that I did an online order on BB site. They're telling me that they ship out on that same day (10/4). So if that's true, I might as well cancel my order and just walk into a Store. Cause it kinda BS that they've already got theirs ready for sale, but our so-called "preorders" didn't even ship yet. I was hoping we'd get them sooner or at least the same day. If it ships 10/4 to me, I'd probably get it maybe 10/9.

I understood ya.

What I'm saying is that you may walk in and they might say they all went to pre-orders, see us in a month or so.

That's what I'm looking at, since I am trying to do a walk in buy on Friday "somewhere"

Tried to scoop one up today from a local Best Buy mobile. Couldn't sell till Friday. They only have white ones now but will be getting black ones in tomorrow. I preordered at a different best buy but when I inquired they said they weren't sure if my preorder would be fulfilled on Friday. So stupid. Im guna just scoop from the Mobile store I went to. The guys there said they'd take care of me first thing in the AM on Friday. No one preordered from their store anyway.
