The S20 FE that I got for $230 at Costco is also eligible to $550 trade-in value. Final cost would be $488 including tax plus the cost for S20 FE.

was there any discount on the s20 fe in costco? could you please share more details?

Is this S21 Ultra bundle still live?

Not sure if I got the best S21 Ultra bundle, but here is what I ended up with:

S21 Ultra + Galaxy Watch 3 - S10e trade-in = 586.62

I am also getting RAK 10% cashback and the the Samsung cancellation 10% refund. So the net should be $470 when said and done. I am going to sell the watch for hopefully 200-250. So the phone will cost 220-270 net after trade. I purchased the s10e on ebay for $260, so the actual total cost of a new S21 Ultra will be less than $530. I think it's pretty good. Anyone done better?

Update 2/22/21: Thanks to Amazon selling S21 Ultra for 999.99, I was able to get Samsung to price match. They will issue $200 refund when the phone ships (and I chat in). So the net cost will be $330, fingers crossed. Slick as hell!

What if I can say for fifty cents you can get additional $150 in accessories?

Well - I did get more than that already in the free Watch 3, didn't I? So I will take your 50 cents.

Doesn't matter why you cancel really. When they say they will send a request to cancel the order, you just say wait, what if you would keep the order, what can they do to make you keep it? And they would offer you the 10% then.

I think Samsung has caught up to the masses trying to cancel in the hope for another 10% discount.

I just tried 2 different chat reps and both were ready to cancel without any discount. Then I was like "oh...let me think about it and I'll chat if I change my mind".

Not complaining though. I have a cracked Note 9 (repair is $230) so Samsung trade-in for $200 along with my EPP discount and healthcare discount, the total came out to only $700 with taxes with the FREE headphones ($150 samsung credit).

And I opted for the 2yr Samsung credit so it's only like $35/month) with zero interest.

I understand the shipping delays because of the weather, but delaying for two weeks after the original eta is terrible. The updates should be more specific and phones shouldn't be delayed more days than the adverse weather actually caused.

that wont be possible, if you had not talked to them earlier. they would ask you for an active link where you are getting a lesser price

That would be logical. But this is SD Smilie

Has anyone succeeded in convincing them to price match a screenshot?

Ok so I posted this before. Thanks for the 1 or 2 replies but I did not get the answer I was looking for. Let me post it again with picture to be sure everyone understands. Please click below for screen shots of the att unlock portal and swappa imei check results.

https://pasteboard.co/JP6utmT.jpg
https://pasteboard.co/JP6vSSG.jpg

Background info:

I bought a used like new S10+ on ebay about 2 years ago. I recall I couldn't unlock the phone because the phone came up as "active on another account". I asked the seller and he said he would contact att to do it. Well let's say time passed and I forgot about it.

All these 2 years...phone works great on my personal att account. Only issue is I cannot unlock it. It's possible the original eBay person still has it on his account for whatever reason.

Now let's say I send this phone that works and has a clean imei number (checked via swappa) to samsung as a trade in.

Will they decline my phone even if it works, it's mint (has been in case and screen protector day1 and it was mint from original ebay person) yet cannot be manually unlocked via the att portal?

Samsung's FAQ states you can trade a phone still being payed but you will obviously need to pay those fees. And if it's leased you can't trade it. But how would I know why I can't unlock my phone from att? I have no clue if the previous ebay seller just is being stubborn and won't remove it from their account or maybe they are still paying it off? I doubt it since it's been 2 years. Isn't a normal phone plan like 24 months‽

Please advise if possible. Much thanks!

1) No problem with the trade in because it's not blacklisted.
2) You can request ATT to unlock it as non ATT customer but SS does not care phone is lock or unlock, financed ...only phone's condition and blacklist status.
3) The phone is still active in other account: When the previous owner use the non ATT phone in his account line, the line still shows the old phone profile (make, model, IMEI). For example I use a unlock Note 20 Ultra (bought at SS) in the line which opened with the Note 9. Now my line still show the phone I used is Note 9.

It depends on when you placed the order on samsung.com. For example, if you placed the order on 2/10 and the price dropped on bestbuy.com on 2/12 and increased back to original price on 2/15. They will accept a screenshot with date and time of between 2/12 and 2/15 because the bestbuy.com link is no longer useful now since the bestbuy.com price has increased.
