I NEED ADVICE on my Note 7 replacement situation

I appreciate the response. What I mean by the store credit is that samsung (or in my case, Tmobile) is giving Note 7 customers a $75 credit if they stay with Samsung and choose one of their other phones. I did that, but look where it got me. I may have a $75 credit in my tmobile account in a few weeks, but now I dont have a phone that works, and could also potentially explode because there has been cases of s7 edge phones exploding and my device was extremely hot right before the screen stopped working. If I choose to go with another device, my credit will be taken away, and I will gain nothing from this ridiculous issue. Samsung will get away with their cheap, defective, and life threatening phones. I also dont really want another phone, because (in my opinion) these two phones were and are still the best phones on the current market. I have wasted so many hours not only driving to the tmobile stores, waiting in line, and waiting for them to due the exchange process, but I also waste several hours transferring all my data to the 3 devices, and logging into all my internet and game accounts. Trust me when I say that I am calm and patient because if I wasnt, I would be screaming at Samsung support right now. I have always had patience but this is crossing the line. I appreciate the advice, but I still dont know what to do.
