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 #)

but some people getting the price match and then they changed their mind pissed me off.
I agree. Samsung obviously gave a better deal right now than during the pre-order phase. Why punishing loyal customers who jump on the pre-order wagon?

Were you a heavy smoker?
What? No. Never smoked. Never did illegal drugs, not even weed. Don't drink alcohol.
However, I started developing muscle weakness in mid-teens. Docs told my mom I probably wanted attention. So I stopped complaining. Got worse. By 20yo, too weak to make it to college classes, had to drop out and quit my job, struggling to breathe. Docs claimed I was mentally ill. Soon ended up intubated over and over. Before you know it, trach, vent, wheelchair, feeding tube. They finally admitted I was sick. Turns out I have a rare, progressive genetic neuromuscular disease. Just got the diagnosis in January.

I had this experience. You can chat with them and ask for cracked phone tradein value.
They will update tradein phone
I already have it as a cracked trade in. But according to the requirements on their site, it can only be cracked. Not have lines on the display.

I tried to do this and support told me that they could not price match my s21 ultra that they value at 850 now, but 700 when I pre-ordered.

This is one of those deals that should never have made it to the front page - it just screwed it up for everyone! I had previously been told on 2 separate occasions that I would definitely get a refund for the increased trade-in value for my S20 ultra ($825 up from $500), once my trade-in was approved (reference number given etc.), but now they won't honor it!

I tried, but they told me this:

Thanks for your patience. 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.Pricing and promotion are time sensitive. They get change from time to time.

Didn't work for me 😓

They already rejected the refund or are you predicting they will reject it?

Samsung is so wrong for doing this, I'm ordering a new one and will return it so it become refurbished. we all basically losing $300 because of trade in value change. I really hope everybody is doing this too since they refuse to give price match credit.

I am past the 14 day mark from S22 delivery and haven't recieved the samsung credit yet. anyone recieved the pre-order credit?
They won't send it until after the return window has passed to avoid scammers from using the $250 voucher and then returning the phone.

Oh sorry. I used the other code that gave a $300 discount when buying the phone and tab instead of getting the $200/250 voucher.

Huh, i forgot about this until this post but I actually did basically this same thing last year with my s21 lol. It wasn't that much of a discrepancy but I was still glad that they did it.

Plus last year was when they gave a free smart tag with every pre order and like a week after I got my package from them they sent me an email and somehow in their system they didn't send the free Smart tag with my order so they had sent out another one. Kinda sucks because I dont use them but it was still cool that they did that.

Just contacted Samsung and they said the promotion to price match the trade-in is over. They would not refund the $325 difference in my trade-in.

I start to wonder if Samsung is trying to mine the materials in the old phones since there are shortages on some materials. I just hope that Samsung doesn't go full HP and start throwing in refurbished parts without the owners' knowledge.

Eh Apple is definitely ahead in battery life. That's not up for debate.
Eh, it is. Because they aren't when doing the same functions.
