Samsung is Price Matching Upgraded Trade-in Value via Live Chat for their Select New Galaxy Devices.

Note, scroll-down and click chat with us under support. If you have not sent your trade-in yet, you'll most likely be told they'll create a ticket awaiting your trade-in to be received to complete the price match.

Thanks to community member blazin for sharing this info.

Per original post:

"I simply asked the following...

I pre-ordered my phone (Order # XXXXXXXXXX ), and I noticed the trade-in price for my device went up from $600 to $850. Could the increased trade-in value be applied to my original order?

They took five minutes and said they would price match the current value and I would receive a refund within 48 hours."

I posted this tip on reddit and helped so many people successfully get price matched. Once they say yes, its pretty much a forsure refund after you send in the trade-in. Ive done plenty of trade-in price matches without issues. (I would get a yes from chat before i even send trade-in, and am told to come back when trades complete to get refund, locked in with ticket #)

If I want something without SD Card slot, no MST, no Charger, expensive as hell then I'd go iPhone and not the S22 that is trying to copy and be like iPhone.

Everything that made Samsung phones unique and amazing are gone.
Agreed, but why are you ranting about that here? This thread is for helping everyone get a refund on pre-orders, not bitching about Samsung.

He's got a point actually. The Note is losing its jack or all trades rep

Really, folks need to move on from this issue. Samsung has made their decision about what to include and not to include in their flagship devices. If you want something different you can take your dollars elsewhere. Luckily, there are other manufacturers still offering micro SD slots and more.
Thread-clapping wont do nothing to change Samsung's decision.

Did online chat. Rep gave me a ticket number. He said refund can only be given after trade device is received and processed. He said that he cannot do a refund before then, but to check back with the ticket number after my trade is completed and they will give me the refund. Hopefully. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)
Same experience here.

The only reason I haven't tried this is because I'm afraid it might mess with the cashback, got $94 approved, order hasn't shipped yet. Kind of worried that Samsung doing something to the order might cancel the cashback.

if you are really looking for charger/SD card slot and thats the only reason you buy phoe...go fo any Chinese brands.
The things that made Samsung unique is - their display, design, UI, Camera....and not to forget awesome trade-in pre-order deals.
Some people will never be happy.....

Last year, I had 2-3 refunds and all time cashback was adjusted. Why you think it may risk cashback?

Nice to know, I was just concerned due to lack of knowledge on how Samsung makes the adjustments or cashback site links the cashback to the orders. Kind of afraid the changes might results on it unlinking the cashback from the order.

It worked for me with the first representative I chatted with! I just asked that they match the updated trade in value and after some waiting they agreed with no pushback. Then I asked for a reference number and they provided it to contact them after the trade in is processed!
Edit: I used the chat form to contact the promotions department

Tried it and got shutdown, got told that once an order is placed the trade-in value can't be changed which is technically true based on what others are posting since the adjustment to the final order is being made through other method. Might try again later through the promotions department, this first attempt was through sales expert.
