No word of a matching promotion from Costco yet that doesn't involve bill credits. Will see if anything posts after release.

Full review from GSMArena
https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_ga...w-2178.php
There is misinformation about RAM and processor on TMobile (865+) and Amazon (8GBRAM) website.
For anyone if matters, this link has better view of Specs on S20 FE:

For those who are still looking for hookup codes see here (good luck): https://discord.gg/7USPpxj

Get a $70 Samsung Credit (for pre-orders 9/23 to 10/1). [samsung.com]
When you can trade in your phone directly the store:
- Regular purchases in the store AFTER the phone has officially launched
Negatives (for this deal): No one knows when this trade-in deal expires. It could potentially end on Oct 2nd, but hopefully later. If it is still alive on Oct 2nd, get to a store ASAP to purchase it. If the store runs out of stock, youre back at square one and must mail in your trade in.
Loss of $200 hookup discount, potential loss of $70 samsung.com preorder credit.
When you HAVE to mail in trade ins:
- Preorders in the store
- Preorders online/phone/chat
- Orders after launch online/phone/chat
- Orders (after launch) in store IF that store has run out of stock.
Negatives: longer waiting period of acceptance of trade in. Higher scrutiny of trade in
please be aware of scams. Be smart. If a random account offers a code but you have to pay them first, don't do it.
Fix overly sensitive screen...https://youtu.be/jT2YM8gz_44
S20 fe left vs s10 right
https://ibb.co/wghQYrF
https://ibb.co/wRfwPsh
Yes, tiny text looks poorer due to the lower resolution and noticeable coming from a s8 through s20. Make sure you are happy with such a screen.

Because this will be a living document, I created a Google Doc for ease of updates: https://docs.google.com/document/...sp=sharing
Note: I am not a T-Mobile employee and this is my first-time doing a trade-in with a Hookup code, so I am learning alongside most people here; thus, my guide may not be fully accurate. Feel free to make suggestions for corrections if you notice any mistakes or parts that lack clarity. And if you found my guide helpful, please post a response here just so I know and will continue doing these. Thank you.
I hope this helps,

THIS STACKS WITH THE $200 HOOKUP CODE! Remember, only one Insider Hookup code per account, whether it's the 20% or the $200. See here for details on that promo. Please do not ask for hookup codes in this post.
Please note: This WILL NOT stack with the free line. The free line ends 9/24, and this phone promo begins 9/25. There is NO WAY to get this phone for free using the free line. Please don't bother support trying to do it.

Click the magenta text at the top of the page to see the offer for $500 off. Must be logged in to see the offer. To see the "free with add a line" offer, open in incognito. Please note the $500 off page currently says "when you add a line and trade in" but the adding a line part is a typo and not necessary.

Question: Has anyone had experience with this? Any chance that when I do receive the FE and the mail-in label, I can just go back to the store instead to turn in the phone directly?
It looks like Costco isn't doing the $500 pre-order for FE (the specials sheets lists the Samsung special, like T-Mobile... but the list of phones does not include FE). Darn...

Only way for them to accept the trade in on spot is to buy it after release date in the store - but then youre missing the potential $200 off with the hookup code (if it does end up working)
"Is attached to the new device order to meet eligibility (see Trade-in steps)."
I plan on buying a used Galaxy S7, do I have to put a SIM card in and use it before I try to trade it in? Or can i take it straight to tmobile to trade it in?
I have several phones I could trade in for $500 credit but my concern is getting the insider deal. I have a tier 3 code though
Also, the employee gave me the hook up code and I entered it with the IMEI of the new phone and it gave me a confirmation of the submission.
Note 9 was damaged in the back with the glass broken but camera was intact. They accepted it and checked all the boxes stating that it was in fine condition. And they will ship it. Should I be concerned about the 342 credit? Due to when they ship the phone and state that it was damaged?
Hoping both the 342 credit and the 200 hookup go through, which will then make the Note 20, $370 including tax.
Thoughts?

This promotion is 2020 Oct Samsung GS20 FE $500 with trade - offer t401 for those that want to look into the terms more themselves.
This list of trade-ins is slick as even at full retail the Pixel 3A never sold for $500 and it's been a long time since the Galaxy S7 series was valued that high.
But it gets better.
This deal should be able to be combined with the Hookup Type 3 listed in https://slickdeals.net/f/14326784-20-off-t-mobile-voice-lines-for-the-life-of-the-account-for-new-customers-porting-from-verizon-at-t-or-one-of-their-mvnos-or-200-off-a-5g-phone-for-existing-t-mobile-customers?src=S
I will note that the Hookup discount requires that you receive the phone in hand to enter the IMEI number. This discount is currently listed to expire on Sept 30 so there is some risk in chasing it on a device that you are pre-ordering on the 25th and is not supposed to be in stores until Oct 2. Even without this extra deal, $199 is a great price on the device and is how I have the deal listed in the title.
But if you can successfully combine, this is no new line needed, trade in an old phone/find an inexpensive trade in, and use the hookup to get everything back except for the cost of the taxes on the original $699 cost.
Cricket Wireless: NO
Sprint: YES
ATT: YES, with some processing

INSPECT
Does the Device that you are shipping match the Make & Model on the enclosed Receipt?
Does the Device power on when fully charged and is it able to send and receive calls and texts?
Does the LCD/screen work when turned on, without any cracks or void areas (i.e., missing pixels) on
the display screen?
A damaged LCD/screen can be traded in. However, damage may result in a reduction of the offer
and/or assessment value, including a possible resulting value of $0. A good LCD/screen works when
turned on, without any cracks or voids (e.g., missing pixels) on the display area.
Does the Device have liquid damage? Direct and indirect moisture or liquid can damage your Device
and it will not be eligible if it shows evidence of moisture.
Have you removed your personal data and any passwords or locks?
Have you disabled any anti-theft feature on your Device?
If you are trading in an iPhone®
/iPad®
, please refer to your iPhone/iPad instructions manual or contact
Apple®
Customer Support on how to disable the Find My iPhone/iPad feature before sending in
your Device.
If you send a Device that is not in working order and does not meet the Program's eligibility requirements, we will
not be able to credit your account.
The offer date is based upon the purchase date- which will be today! This will put you well within the qualified time frame, so you are golden there.
So I went in today and use the same code and it said I already had started a submission and click here to resume. It brought me to the page where you enter all your info and IMEI. So I'm not sure it really expires after 14 days. Maybe they'd deny me if I filled it in but it looks like it would take my submission.
