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

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."

Yes, we know.
Obviously, this phone is not for you.
Move on.

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 #)

This is definitely a cell from Samsung to skip. They have the cell cpu turned down and no SD slot is a hard pass. The camera quality is almost the exact same as the s21 ultra. No reason to snag this at the price they want. Samsung better bring back the SD slot as many have mentioned they will not buy it without. I was going to get this until I found all this out.

No work


When you placed your pre-order you were able to redeem the best credits and discounts Samsung offered! Currently, these pre-order benefits are no longer available. I checked the details you provided and we cannot price match this. However, if you are interested in the latest savings and promotions we offer, please check our offer page below for your next order with us: https://www.samsung.com/us/shop/all-deals/"

Quote from Dkizzy :
They told me last week that my pre-order would have to wait until the phone was traded in to have the price match applied. Did anyone else get that bs? If that is standard, then I am all set with my case ID to reference after trade in.
Yes, this is was what they were telling everybody (myself included) so you are not an outlier. The real question is whether they go back on their word when you trade in the phone and talk to their support again even with their confirmation in writing via the case ID. Has anyone here been told they'd get the credit, reached out later on once traded in, and then got denied still?

I think it is bunk...
So basically when you preorder they upsell you on a bunch of stuff...
I recreated my order with the same thing including memory upgrade and it comes out cheaper bc you also get 100 google store credit.
s22u / 256 + tab 8 ultra comes out to 1250 which is what I paid for before... The only problem is I would need to wait another 6 weeks if I were to go this route which may not be a bad thing esp if early adopters are getting defective units

Awesome deal! I bought the tmobile version and it hasn't shipped yet but the chat rep also said I'd get credited for the $50 difference. $800 then and $850 now.
Same deal as you, but they said no

I thought the deal I got for the s22 ultra was good and don't want to tempt fate with the cancel trick, was this a good deal???

Free upgrade to 256gb
$250 samsung credit
$100 instant credit
$800 trade in on my note20 ultra
$116 trade in on my note8 (but I had to pay $75 to fix it because it had a swollen battery 🙄) total with taxes was $382

Seems like Samsung is dumping this version of the phone. I have seen deals from all major carriers. I have a galaxy s20 5g, debated trading in, but I'll be holding on it for awhile.

Kinda off topic, but has anyone placed an order thru Verizon for the s22 ultra and received it? Verizon keeps telling me that it's on back order and don't know when they'll get enough to to fill my order

Quote from edrock200 :
Apologies if this was already answered, I didn't read all 19 pages admittedly. But, is there any advantage to buying a carrier locked vs unlocked model? It seems like the cost is the same (except verizon, $1000 back for s21 vs $850.) But I'm on Tmobile, so I see no point in buying a locked phone unless there is some optimization there with the modem or network connectivity, e.g. does the tmobile version support more tmo bands than the unlocked, or any other advantage I'm not thinking of?
You can actually change the firmware between all those devices no real difference

Unless it's a standard 128gb or 256gb black phone, it's likely to be delayed. It's the same across the board.

Rep said they can't match trade in value but will request for a $50 promo code instead. Better than nothing I suppose.

Rep also said they can't price match. After I told them I will cancel my order they offered a 10% discount. Comes out to almost $80. I purchased s22 ultra and s8 ultra 256gb. Better than nothing.

No longer works, the rep said: "there was a new update from higher team, we can no longer price match as you already agreed on price at the time of trade in" so basically in other words... hahaha u sucker

Also little late to the party. I was just denied the price-match on the trade-in value. Frown
