I bought an unlocked Samsung A50 for my mom for $230. It was $280, less a $50 trade in credit for any working phone, Android or iOS. (I traded in an old Samsung S3. I just received the credit today.)
I had $200 in Samsung credits from buying an S20+ and another credit, so my net was $32 after tax. Taxed only on the $30, which was nice!
The A51 has been released since the A50, but it isn't available unlocked on the Samsung site, only the Verizon or Sprint versions (I believe.) Not a lot of difference between the A50 and A51, but I think the A51 ships with Android 10, vs 9 on the A50?
The A50 was more expensive the last time I looked, but it should be on sale again soon?
Good luck
Thanks I have bunch of phones I can trade in. Do they allow multiples? What's the cheapest deal?
Can you explain how to 'upgrade'? Don't see the option in the site. Thanks!
I think there are different versions of PAW. My company switched from PAW to perk spot 18 months ago. My PAW is still linked to my work email and 5 star status is still there, but some things are different. I cannot search and find the Samsung store. I have a backdoor way to get to it from a previous Wow points spend, but my offer is only 5x points (3x points upgraded to 5x due to 5 star). Also, no extra 10% discount on prices, which my perkspot account does have, presumably because that's the one my company is affiliated with.
You should see the option of paying $50 to upgrade to 5 stars on the page, if you are buying anything above $333, you should be able to get your $50 back + 30% vs 20% cashback
you get to be our experiment to see if you get the points or not
Actually, I just realized I never made any purchase at Samsung.com before ... so I should still qualify based on the fine print :finger-crossed:
BUT, I just saw this doesn't apply to appliance ... "WOWPoints are not available on major appliances or purchases made outside of the Samsung Perks page."
Should have just purchased the range from Costco ...

I purchased a couple days ago when the 30x first went live. I didn't notice the clause about trade-ins. I used a trade-in on this purchase, if I had realized that would jeopardize the wowpoints, I wouldn't have used it. The wowpoints are worth more. How long is it taking everyone to get the purchase to show up on the perks page? If I don't get the points, I'll probably just send the phone back.

I called in earlier today to cancel my Samsung order, and now I see they have removed the restriction about the Appliance and trade-in ...
Guess I will just screenshot every step and re-order ..
Has anyone confirmed this? I don't know if I will even have the same job in 24 months so I would definitely lose access to my work email.
I've always used my personal email for perks at work and not my work email. I got the points last time immediately without problem like in less than 3 days

I used my work email and made a new account at Samsung with my work email. I bought the phone this morning and my points aren't even pending yet. That's probably a bad sign.
if i trade in my note 10+ for $440 vs the $500, I can get the s20 ultra for $863 with a buy back of $700 in 24 months. If the perkspoint works with a trade in i should get $250ish back? I think I have to roll the dice on this one. If the points come in, it's a keeper, if not i can always return..
