Went to local BB store. They could not find any documents about this deal, even after I showed them their own webpage showing the higher trade-in values. Came home without the deal.
I was also told that no free Bud2, only 50% off the price.
You have to go through the entire trade in process. it gives you a promotional credit at the end.

The rep went through the trade-in process on their screen as well. It came back with $200 for S9. Per the link posted by OP, it should have been $300.
I am not sure what exactly the process they followed but they asked for the trade-in phone number and verified it using OTP code on the S9.

Some higher trade-in values with TMO promo (discussed in thisthread, e.g. iPhone XR = $420 vs $300, though not sure it's still active) but others look higher, e.g. Pixel 3XL = $200. Haven't seen that high anywhere else for my old Pixel.
Thanks for posting!
Pixel 3XL is only coming up with $40. What am I missing?

I just returned from successfully completing this. I purchased an unlocked S21 activated on Verizon. I traded in my S7 for $200. Out the door price after tax was $330. He didn't find the promo in the system at first but he was able to find it after I showed it to him on my phone.

When I bought my unlocked S21 Ultra with the Activate Today option, I was told I have to stick with TMobile for 90 days. Don't know why cause it's unlocked.
I'm getting mixed messages on that too. Did BB or t-mobile say that? I've talked with a bunch of useless reps today, but all the tmobile rep said was that they had no contracts and gave instructions to unlock. Can you try cancelling t-mobile and update us? Pretty bold of them to sell it as "unlocked' but require you to be tied down to a carrier for a period to get the lower pricing.

Was not successful in getting the 450 that was advertised in this deal for a Note 10, he couldn't find it on his computer, but used last week's deal because we already bought the phone Sunday.

Yes i did several times. Only 200 shows. the sales manager gave me a 50 dollar credit for the difference. guess that works. had to resort to getting the tmobile version which gives 400 trade in for a s20fe. the extra 50 credit was for the difference if i had gotten the unlocked version. ill unlock after 40 days.

S22 is right around the corner and Samsung usually has very good trade-in deals + bonuses. If you don't need a phone right away, it's worth the wait, Feb 8th. IMO.
I have my s20 fe paid for , u think I should wait to get the s22 .
People now are trading for s21
To trade it later for s22 . Any thoughts
I like me s20 fe

I agree with you but the 256 GB and 512 GB versions are sold out at Best Buy. Otherwise, I would have posted that instead.
just came from BB to check these Samsung phones, maaaan the Ultra is da bomb. with those 5 rear camera lenses. and it is heavier/more solid build too than the S21/S21+. if anyone is on TMO and have a nicer Iphone to trade, play with the enhanced trade in values.
