AT&T Customers: 128GB Samsung Galaxy Note20 5G or Ultra 5G Smartphone Expired

Original Post

I just placed a pre-order for Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G 128gb [att.com] with AT&T and want to share with everyone. I opted to upgrade one of the line and traded in the phone for that line (Moto G Play 6th Gen). I got a credit of $1,000 over 30 months which along with the 30 months installment, I will have to pay $10 a month for the new phone and $78 for tax. The activation fee and upgrade fee are waived. That's $300 dollar for the flagship and also it doesn't hurt my wallet as much on monthly basis.

UPDATE: I spoke with AT&T and found out that the traded-in phone has to be at least $60 in value according to this link: https://www.att.com/deals/phone-trade-in/. Also, the below list of eligible phones in the detail are available for your reference. Therefore, I will get a refurbished iPhone 7 or so off of eBay for the trade-in (~$150 to $160).

In addition, there is $150 credit from Samsung for the pre-order of Galaxy Note 20/Note 20 Ultra toward accessories, although it is limited to 58,000 participants. According to my understanding, you can pre-order and purchase the device from a carrier (AT&T, Verizon, Bestbuy, etc.) and can still claim the $150 credit via Shop Samsung app. More info can be found here https://www.samsung.com/us/smartp...520-112550 and here https://promos.samsung.com/terms/ .

Here is the detail:
