LG G5 spare battery/charger promo [US]

A reminder to anyone buying an LG G5 in the US: as long as you didn't buy from Best Buy [why this restriction?] and bought by April 17, you can file for a free spare battery and charging cradle to charge it in, by going to http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/g5/promo.

In addition to your name, address, phone, email, etc., you'll need to provide the IMEI of the phone, a photo of the IMEI, and a photo of a dated receipt. You have to file by May 2.

They provide details in two PDFs: one for Verizon and one for AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and US Cellular, but for Verizon customers those appear to be mislabled. The "Verizon" offer is just for pre-sales (before the April 1 release) made at Verizon stores, and includes a 360Cam as well. The AT&T et al PDF seems to apply to Verizon sales from April 1 through 17, although it doesn't say so. Anyway, when you go to make your claim and select Verizon as your carrier, you'll be given two options: bought up through March 31, and bought from April 1 through 17.

"Allow 4-6 weeks for fulfillment."

Filing date is almost here - May 2

If you bought your LG G5 in the US before April 17, and not from Best Buy, you only have until May 2 (this coming Monday) to file for your free spare battery and charging cradle.

By the way, it turns out that the charging cradle also can act as a portable USB power supply. With the battery in it, of course.

The charging cradle also comes with a small adapter for micro-USB to USB-C. It doesn't, however, come with any cable. ???
