Will the $400 rebate work if phone is on backorder until March?

The current $400 gift card to upgrade an existing line to a Samsung phone says it expires on 2/28.  The S21 currently says it is on backorder until  March 12th.  I believe the fine print says you must activate the phone within 30 days of purchase.  Does that mean actual order date or when you receive it?  If I ordred it now, and it didn't get here until March 12th, that would be over 30 days.  Or will this rebate still work as long as you order the phone any time before the 28th?

Hi,

I did read the fine print. Look at the second bold part that talks about $400 back. That is for upgrading an existing line to a new Samsung. I also see it ends 2/28 but I am wondering if that means that you just have to order it by then or receive it by then.

I was wondering the same thing! When I speak to customer service reps and Xfinity store employees they stated that as long as it is purchased prior to the promotion end date we should still get the gift card! I put my purchase through on Feb 8th for the s21 256! Hopefully it comes in prior to the backorder date of March 12th

Well I chatted with someone and they basically said if you order it before the 24th and activate it within 30 days of the order date you are fine.  So I just ordred one now (waiting close to the 24th) and hope it gets here within 30 days or else I might just return it.

Well unfortunately knowing Xfinity's track record they will find some way to mess it up and I will have to waste my time calling in to figure it out, I have multiple screenshots of chats that say I'm eligible for the gift card so we will see! Also my account activity section has been stuck on account switch is in progress and they can't seem to fix that as well! I don't have much confidence in them

So you ordered a S21 256gb space gray? Was hoping they would ship out prior to March 12! Have you had any updates on your order?

No updates on mine yet either but I did order one last week and it still said the 12th.

I received the phone last week and it is not activated.  I placed the order before the 24th and activated it within 30 days of ordering it like the fine print says, so I should receive this, right?  I went to the gift card status website and it is not listed yet as even pending.  How long does that usually take to show up there?
