T-Mo. do you think it matters?

PS Shipped already.

It's beginning to seems like it as both you and @KOLIO are on T-Mo.

Got this email yesterday:

.........
Thank you for taking part in the LG G5 Verizon Preorder Promotion!

As a valued LG customer, we wanted to update you on the status of your redemption. Due to unprecedented demand, the redemption review process is taking longer than anticipated. You can expect to receive your submission status email within the next 7 - 10 business days. Once approved, please allow 4 - 6 weeks for your 360 CAM, LG G5 battery and charging cradle to arrive.

Thank you for your patience.

Your Submission ID is....

So yeah, I'm still at the "submitted"

Ah well, I'm really not upset...it's free for pete's sake

It would seem carrier affiliation may have something to do w/it,even though this sample size is small to say the least.
I didn't pre-order & actually had to re-submit my 360 Camera offer,as I failed to circle the IMEI & print+ sign the proof-of-sale/receipt (along with an original birth certificate/blood/hair/DNA samples with two witnesses/retina scan)

& STILL got approved before @Mikestony even gets a yeah or nay.

One would think carrier affiliation shouldn't make a difference,but,stranger things have happened................. :rolleyes:

LOL.

I still think it is FIFO no matter what carrier you are with.

I did everything like circling and signing in Photoshop. I am too lazy.

Got mine today. It came with free micro USB to USB-C adapter.

Mikestony · Apr 25, 2016

By the time I get mine, I'll have bought the LG G15.

nope,

Seems like you guys get your goodies fairly quickly after your confirmation email?

KOLIO · Apr 25, 2016

Yeppers, less than three weeks total, from submitted to delivery.
About 4-5 days total shipping time, but, I saw the update/tracking number before I was notified.

KOLIO · Apr 26, 2016

Not a pre-order promo,but,a discount:

As of 4/25/2016,T-Mobile has a $60 off discount code :

For a limited time, when you purchase a LG G5 on T-Mobile.com or through 1-877-387-4324 you can save $60 w/ Promo Code LG60.

Just enter promo code LG60 at checkout.

Qualifying service required. Tax and shipping charges (if applicable) are extra. This offer cannot be combined with certain other offers.

I've had a decent track record with T-Mobile in retroactively applying the discount in the form of a bill credit/EIP Credit/JOD Credit,most recently a $100 credit for the LG V10,but,they weren't so willing this time.

If you want to edit that into my OP, go for it @KOLIO !

Oh, and by the way, I finally got my "approved" email confirming that my submission is a "go"!

??? really? That would be sweet, but is that where yours came from? I mean, I work about 20 miles south of downtown Chicago so, yeah, that would be awesome!

Yeah, that's where mine originated.
If LG is responsible for the fulfillment, I'd guess that's where yours will ship from.
My T-Mobile non-promo equipment ships from Louisville, KY, so, I'd say by weeks end you should take delivery.

Nice @KOLIO !
USB C and a normal usb port?

Turns out the battery kit pulls double duty as an external battery pack (was curious as to the power button/indicator lights/extra port) :

Just for giggles,I tried out the power bank feature,using none other than the LG G5 as a test subject:
I ran the G5 down to 4% & managed to get it topped-off to 61%.
I'm not sure how this compares to other power bank efficencies,but,safe to say,don't count on this topping off much more than 50% of its own capacity to any device.
I've never been a fan of power banks,gave a few a shot & found em' all to be more or less as effective as this.
Besides,all I've tried are slow & aren't much more than an emergency bump at best.
Still,a nice feature to have,as with phones,I'd rather have the feature & not need it vs the opposite.
