Is the EPP invite program still dead?
I bought a 55" B6 LG OLED this weekend, and it's absolutely amazing. I love it more than any electronic device I've ever loved. BUT, I really don't think I could resist a KS8000 for just $1,079 + tax. That's a massive difference in size and price over what I paid for my OLED.

Some say yes and some say no. You can try to use someones account by asking. This is a sure way to go. Just need their login info.

Sams Club will have this 70" Samsung on sale for $1248 + free $150 gift card - this Saturday only:
http://www.samsclub.com/sams/70-uhd-smart-120mr-3-hdmi-wifi/prod20180058.ip
Thoughts? The $150 sams club gift card is basically as good as cash for me, making this $1098 for a 70" Samsung UHD+HDR.

I would be very appreciative as well if I could use a working epp account or get a working invite, really need the 55"
Me and you both
Hopefully a few people are in the "helping" spirit.
At that price and size its hard to go wrong. I was looking at that myself.

Is there another source that will price match? I don't have Discover so I can't price match through them (not sure how that'd work) but I would love to use that. I literally didn't have enough money at the time to get one of those 55" for 700-something. There will never be a deal that great again.
If someone would let me use their login info or place an order on my behalf, it would be much appreciated!

The deals aren't great anymore. A 49" for $900 is the best you'll do. The 55" was going for near 700 at the peak of the sale.
EDIT - Oh fuck, nevermind. The Employee pricing is no longer valid for me.
Other cards like AmEx, Chase, Citi might offer the same price protection, but it's very your mileage may vary. Depends if your claims person is having a good day or not. They also aren't supposed to honor employee pricing, so there's a good chance this gets rejected.
I was hearing $1079 or so. Honestly, even that $1200 deal sounds great.

Do I remember hearing there's a difference bt 60in and 55in of the ks8000?
Edit: and I don't understand why some peoples epp links (including mine) say for employees only and some peoples don't.

The 65" was $1079. The 55" was $729. Both were still valid this morning when I checked.
I'm going to try and see if someone will help me get the 65" one. Sent some PMs on slickdeals, so hopefully someone gets back to me.

I've been looking around for a 50 inch that isn't gonna break the bank. How's this lg? Input lag and hdr being huge factors I'm not well informed tech wise with t.v's.

To anyone wondering the same - I ordered the 55KS8000 on Sunday afternoon from Samsung EPP. Got an order confirmation right away, but the status stayed on "Preparing for shipment" all through Monday and Tuesday. Got a shipping email a couple of hours ago and the package has been in transit all day and delivery is expected tomorrow morning. I too was worried it wouldn't be here for the long Thanksgiving weekend, but turn around time has been surprisingly quick so far. I'm in NYC, by the way. I know you're on the other side of the country, but I'm guessing delivery time to major cities will be similar (?)
It's also coming via FedEx, which was another relief. Unfortunately, I'll have to head out to work after right after it gets here, so I won't have time to check it and bask in its glory.
Bought from Samsung site through an EPP account, purchased with my Discover Card which has 10% off on the Samsung site until the end of the year.
I've asked a few people on Slickdeals with no luck so far. Basically you need the help of someone with an EPP account to get the deals with Samsung.
EDIT: Woot, someone is willing to help me out for $20. Anyone know if I am putting myself at risk for this?
The Samsung has much lower input lag for gaming.
I have it, and it's a great TV.
I hope the Hisense is good for you.

I wish the 8000 came in 70". My viewing distance requires I upsize from my 65" for the full benefits of 4k.

Who know's...maybe look at their slickdeals profile and see how many post/likes they have gotten. 20 bucks...hmmm.
Guess Ill have to do some Slickdeal hunting, where did you go? Their forums?

anyone care to help on either questions?
I clicked on a deal for the KS8000 except not as good of one as the EPP deal. People offer to help out in the comments section. I sent a few of them PMs.

im trying to find out how to invite people. dont see anything on their site about it.

Well, I just PM'ed someone, hopefully he is willing to help a brotha out.

i'd be willing to help if i knew how to invite people.
I believe you just let someone else use your account or place the order for them.
Best of luck! It seems like it's common for people to charge $$$, so I'd imagine EPP account holders are incentived.

Yes it is..it has been like that since Sunday and I think it will stay that price til Black Friday..I ordered the 49 inch on Sunday but so far it has NOT shipped still says preparing for shipment and samsung says in their email to me the same generic email about how it takes 1-3 days to ship

So there's not a way to invite anymore?
If I recall correctly, they closed that loophole.

Thanks bro, good to know ppl out their willing to help others to saving some good money!
Is there a method to confirm that an order properly went through the Discover 10% rewards program? I presumed that simply using the Discover card would suffice. Upon reading some fine print, however, I realized I had to go through their "Discover Deals" website.
That lead to some quick calling, canceling, reordering, getting my CC unblocked bcs two TV orders shut me down....lol. What a nightmare.
Hence the question about getting any kind of confirmation from Discover about that 10%.
I didn't get any kind of confirmation. I just went through the deal link in my discover account it says that it can take up to 10 weeks for the cash back though. I'll probably give them a call tomorrow to confirm.
Literally did the exact same thing. Literally every step.
I called Discover and she claimed that if I went through the Discover Deals link I'd have nothing to worry about but I'm still going to call again once the charge posts just to confirm.
