Apologies if this has already been posted here, but I didn't see it. I have seen these same phones trending here at higher prices. I have also seen a similar deal posted for Costco, but that one doesn't go live until late November.

Best Buy has dropped the price of the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE to just $350 (from $750), $14.58 per month, and the regular Samsung Galaxy S20 to $550 (from $1000), $22.91 per month, with 24-month Verizon Wireless device payment plan.

Unlike some of the other deals out there, this pricing DOES NOT appear to require bill credits distributed over 24 months -- it appears to be an upfront discount, immediately reducing the monthly price of the phone and eliminating any pre-payment penalties if paid off in less than 24 months.

This deal also does not require trade-in (though you can reduce the price further with trade-in).

This deal also does not require a new line of service (works for existing customer upgrades).

I cannot determine whether or not it requires plan changes or will work with any existing Verizon Wireless plan.

How can I make sure this isn't bill credits and can be paid off early without losing the discount? I don't want to be tied down for 2 years

Will Samsung price match this on their website? People on reddit say they will price match Amazon if you chat with a rep, wondering if they will match this too

Edit: so I just worked through this and am about to place order. Once you get to the agreement you can see that the phone's full price is $749 and there is a down payment being made of $400, so this is correct that this is not the monthly credit nonsense they try to use. Seems like a fantastic deal.


If this isn't using the bill-credits method, why do you have to pay sales tax on $749 full price when ordering?

These are the charges that will be added to your Verizon bill, plus any applicable taxes, fees or surcharges.

These amounts will be billed by Verizon and do not include your existing line or account charges, or fees, taxes and surcharges which can add between 7% and 46% to your bill. Except as follows, your current Verizon price plan and features will not be changed with this transaction. Each device added or upgraded to your account will incur a Monthly Line Access Fee which may vary based upon your contract or device payment enrollment. Those customers Upgrading with a 2-Yr contract who have an Unlimited Data package will be enrolled in the Verizon 2GB Data Plan for that line for $30/month. If you complete this transaction, Unlimited Data cannot be returned to your line of service.

Is it weird that when I sign in with my Verizon account it's telling me $0?

I've been due for an upgrade for about a couple months and it said that it was going to charge me $40 to upgrade yet I'm seeing Zero here but I'm sure I'll be slammed later for the $40 in my bill?

I'm just asking since I haven't gone through their website to upgrade my phone in maybe four or five years. 🤷🏽 ♂️

I offered to trade in my Note9..if that's the cause of the drop?

The $400 saving calculated per month in bracket... Means you get device discount over 24 month. Wasted my time looking at A51 which is free by same merit
