Galaxy Gifts Asphalt perk

Has anyone received the free car pack that is supposed to come with Asphalt 8 via the Galaxy Gifts promo? I have tried and tried and have found no way of unlocking this. I hope this is not another case of Samsung screwing Canadians.
Here is the Gifts link that shows what we should get. Check the Asphalt icon and see.

I believe you need to play the tutorial first. That is how I got the perks. Btw, I have a Canadian tab s. Cheers!

That did indeed unlock the class A car pack. Thank you. That does seem like an obscure way to include a free IAP. I jumped direct into the game the first time.
Do you have to purchase the game first, or it comes free with the tablet?

Asphalt 8 is free anywhere, be it in ios or android. Car packs are not, it's an in game purchase with real money.
Basically, Samsung unlocks a free car pack for you for free if you buy a tab s, i dont know about the other Samsung tablets though.
I had a different problem wth said game. The version on my Tab S was an older one, which I was unable to update or connect to my Google+ account for the trophies. I could tell it was old because I had played the game before on my Nexus 10. So I hit the Play store but it wouldn't recognize my installation and offer to update it. I installed anyway and had 2 versions of Asphalt 8 side by side. After I rooted, I removed the old one. No free DLC for me, I guess.

[Q] Samsung Perks for Canadian Users, esp. Google Play Credits

This has probably been asked before, but I failed to find a definite answer. My apologies in advance if this is indeed the case.
I'm wondering if any Canadian user has successfully at least obtain the redeem code from Samsung upon registering their Tab Pros? I've tried logging into my Samsung account on Galaxy Apps, registering on Samsung US site with a Gmail address but to no avail. Didn't even receive a "Thank you for registering your Samsung device" confirmation as someone stated.
This has led the paranoid me to suspect that the tab I've got is a resealed open box, though I do not see any obvious evidence except that the charger was not in place and the cover for the microSD slot was not perfectly closed when I opened the package. (EDIT: speaking of the charger and slot cover, has one of these happened to anyone?)
Any reply will be really appreciated!
Canadians don't get the Google Play $25 credit.

Thanks for the reply dodo99x. Just would like to clarify, we don't even receive the redeem code, is that correct? The reason I'm asking this is because I do know that the code cannot be redeemed on a google account outside US if we somehow obtain the code. But do we even get any email confirmation from Samsung?
Nope nothing from Samsung at all. I confirmed this going though the Samsung rep on their Facebook page. We can download anything in Samsung Perks section of the Samsung App store, and we get the extra 50gb storage on Dropbox.

Thank you for confirming it, dodo! Really appreciate it! :good:
I'd been worrying about it being a resealed open box (bought it at Staples) after finding those little pieces of "evidence". This should help put my OCD mind at ease. :silly:
EDIT: yeah i did get the extra 50gb on dropbox.

Are you sure it's a ”mini" S4? Google search says it's a standard S4, sprint variant. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-sprint

sorry it's l520
From the short search I've done around google and xda I'd say no you can't buddy. Best bet is to sell that and get another one...

Is there a 4sale section?

How to Buy in Galaxy Store Withouth Samsung Phone

So I have a Galaxy Watch 3 paired with my Xiaomi Mi Mix 3. But I wanted to buy some paid apps, that are not available in the galaxy store from the wearable app, as my phone ain't a galaxy. I wanted to know if there is anyway to bypass this.
Also, my father has a Galaxy phone. I thought about using his phone with the same samsung account, to but the apps I need for the watch and later download them. But I can't buy anything, because it says that there is no watch connected to the phone. So, if there is a way to emulate a watch connected to the phone, it would also helps, as I don't want to have to pair the Watch with different phones every time I want to buy an app.
Thanks in advance
What? All you need is a Samsung account and you login through the Galaxy Wear app. Then purchase and install. That's what I did, I haven't had a Samsung phone in ages.
Seriously? Because I have the same problems as these guys: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...tore-app-for-non-samsung-smartphones.4082451/ /
