$600 device trade-in on older devices for Samsung Galaxy S21, S21+, S21 Ultra preorder - Verizon
Verizon
VerizonDeal Details
I was checking out the Galaxy S21 Ultra offers here [verizon.com] and noticed an "Upgrade and get $600 off w/trade" button, which was valid on my Galaxy Note 8. A friend of mine also did the same with his Galaxy S8+. The most I was seeing anywhere else for my Note 8 was $250.
Yes, these are monthly bill credits, but I plan on staying with Verizon anyway so not a problem for me. You will also need to be on a select Unlimited 5G plan.
On top of the $600, all preorders are eligible for the Samsung credit as well. For the S21 Ultra preorder, this means I'll be getting an additional $200 in Samsung credit and Samsung SmartTag.
$800 total for my Note 8 to upgrade to the S21 Ultra was a no-brainer for me.
UPDATE:
Turns out the $600 credit is valid on even older models. I canceled my order with the Note 8 trade-in and created a new order where I am trading in an inactive Google Pixel 2 64GB that I had. If you click on the promotion and then "See all details and additional offers" there is a dropdown with all phones eligible for the $600 credit. It includes iPhone6 and newer, Galaxy Note5 and newer, Galaxy S7 and newer and a bunch of other Motorola, LG, and OnePlus phones.
UPDATE 2:
Check under "Account" and then "My offers" and there could be one that says "Galaxy S21. Get $300 off. Save on the latest from Samsung when you upgrade your phone. Online only. Discount applied in cart."
This brought my total discount to $900 off of the S21 Ultra, plus the $200 Samsung credit.

I was checking out the Galaxy S21 Ultra offers here [verizon.com] and noticed an "Upgrade and get $600 off w/trade" button, which was valid on my Galaxy Note 8. A friend of mine also did the same with his Galaxy S8+. The most I was seeing anywhere else for my Note 8 was $250.
Yes, these are monthly bill credits, but I plan on staying with Verizon anyway so not a problem for me. You will also need to be on a select Unlimited 5G plan.
On top of the $600, all preorders are eligible for the Samsung credit as well. For the S21 Ultra preorder, this means I'll be getting an additional $200 in Samsung credit and Samsung SmartTag.
$800 total for my Note 8 to upgrade to the S21 Ultra was a no-brainer for me.
UPDATE:
Turns out the $600 credit is valid on even older models. I canceled my order with the Note 8 trade-in and created a new order where I am trading in an inactive Google Pixel 2 64GB that I had. If you click on the promotion and then "See all details and additional offers" there is a dropdown with all phones eligible for the $600 credit. It includes iPhone6 and newer, Galaxy Note5 and newer, Galaxy S7 and newer and a bunch of other Motorola, LG, and OnePlus phones.
UPDATE 2:
Check under "Account" and then "My offers" and there could be one that says "Galaxy S21. Get $300 off. Save on the latest from Samsung when you upgrade your phone. Online only. Discount applied in cart."

Yes, these are monthly bill credits, but I plan on staying with Verizon anyway so not a problem for me. You will also need to be on a select Unlimited 5G plan.
On top of the $600, all preorders are eligible for the Samsung credit as well. For the S21 Ultra preorder, this means I'll be getting an additional $200 in Samsung credit and Samsung SmartTag.
$800 total for my Note 8 to upgrade to the S21 Ultra was a no-brainer for me.
UPDATE:
Turns out the $600 credit is valid on even older models. I canceled my order with the Note 8 trade-in and created a new order where I am trading in an inactive Google Pixel 2 64GB that I had. If you click on the promotion and then "See all details and additional offers" there is a dropdown with all phones eligible for the $600 credit. It includes iPhone6 and newer, Galaxy Note5 and newer, Galaxy S7 and newer and a bunch of other Motorola, LG, and OnePlus phones.
UPDATE 2:
Check under "Account" and then "My offers" and there could be one that says "Galaxy S21. Get $300 off. Save on the latest from Samsung when you upgrade your phone. Online only. Discount applied in cart."
This brought my total discount to $900 off of the S21 Ultra, plus the $200 Samsung credit.
Props to BeautifulTable686 for finding this one!

I totally get every other part. I'm just very curious as to your process once at Verizon attempting the trade in. I just feel like my local ones would look at me and go "No..." or "Are you upgrading a line with us and purchasing today?"
In-store I don't tell them anything except that I'm an existing customer and want to trade in a phone. They don't need to know nor can do anything about your phone purchase and promotional eligibility. They are after all just sale associates and yes only want to sell you phone, accessories, plan upgrades, or new lines/accounts

Does the new Samsung device from Best Buy have to be activated on the account first and then the promo would pop up through the trade-in portal? I see the terms are trade-ins within 30 days, so assuming they honor Best Buy as an eligible upgrade partner, it should work...
6 lines here myself, and wanting to utilize this on 1, potentially 2 lines.

The purchase and trade-in can be made separately within the 30 days. Once you purchase and activate the phone from Best Buy it would trigger the promotion eligibility. You will then able to step through the trade-in portal independently without adding a device to your cart all the way to the final step - picture attached - to confirm that the promo's active on your account.
Since you can't validate the 2nd trade-in until you've made the purchase you'll need a small leap of faith that double dipping tradeins work as I've outlined

Since you can't validate the 2nd trade-in until you've made the purchase you'll need a small leap of faith that double dipping tradeins work as I've outlined
Greatly appreciate all the added details and context to the process!
Appreciate you taking the time to explain this. I have a Pixel 3 which I stacked Target giving a $300 discount with Verizon giving $400 DPP credits, which will be paid off next month so I'll be keeping an eye out for stackable deals again!

This brings the S21 Ultra from $1200 to $100, plus I get an additional $200 credit from Samsung for preordering. I am literally getting paid to get this phone lol.
YMMV as I have no clue what made me eligible for the increased trade in value, or the extra promo for upgrading my line, but if you can get this deal jump on it! I think this is the best deal Verizon has ever given existing customers for upgrading.

I did check last night and I only got the normal $600 trade in value, plus the $300 offer. I decided to sleep on it, and today I decided to go for it for $900 off. When I checked it again today to order it, I was greeted by a $799.99 trade in value and my eyes bugged out lol.
Also the ordering process was super frustrating. Trying to do too many things on the order made it kinda screwy I guess, and things kept going wrong. Finally was able to get my order through after like 5 attempts, and the ordering process is really cumbersome especially when you have to keep clicking decline on all the add ons and retyping your IMEI multiple times. It took me like an hour to finally get my order through, but it did, and it had both promos on it, so it was worth it!
Example:
$1200 - S21 Ultra
- $150 - instant down payment credit
- $650 - Note 10 BB trade-in
+ $100 - Used S6
- $400/600 bill credits (VZW trade-in for both new and upgraded lines)
+ taxes and upgrade fees
- $200 s.
