    If you’re lucky enough to have pre-ordered either the Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge after their announcement two weeks ago, you can now officially redeem the Virtual Reality headset via Samsung’s promotions page using details included on your receipt to have your Gear VR shipped out.

    The redemption process is compulsory for all customers who want to get their hands on a complimentary Gear VR headset, and, thankfully, it’s a straightforward procedure. All you have to do is navigate to the promotions page and fill in an online claims form using details from your receipt, then wait for a confirmation email notifying you that your claim has been approved. Once it has, it will take around 4-6 weeks for your VR unit to arrive in the mail.

    The second you receive your Gear VR in the post, you’ll need to redeem your free 6-game bundle by creating an Oculus account as you only have up until 11:59:59 PM (PT) on April 20 to do so.

    If you’re still planning on picking up the Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge, you’ll be glad to hear that the free Gear VR promotion is running until March 18.
