Deal Details
Increased in-store trade-in value for smart phones and reduced price of S22 phones

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/clp-...1537879921

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sams...Id=6494440

I have an older Galaxy Note 10, BestBuy is offering $450 for in-store trade-in. Unlocked 256 gb S22 is has reduced -100 price at $750

$750 + $50 tax - $450 (trade-in) = $350

Samsung has an elevated trade-in currently as well, but they are only offering $375 on my Note 10.

for details of what to ask for from the reps at bestbuy to get the deal to work.

Seems like at some bestbuys, you can trade in multiple phones YMMV

Replicating this deal is not easy for sure.

Most Bestbuy employees not aware of it and only few even work in Mobile. So to get them Trade-In value is difficult job. Your best bet is if the employee even if not aware, is open to listening (I find it the hardest part.) Because if they will listen, they can easily find this.

Next, New lower Price on Unlocked Phones are with Activation since May 9th (before this it was like instant discount), So they may ask you to activate. Issue I faced was I was told, this Activation Discount is separate deal and cannot be combined. I had to persist and even go to another store to finally get both enhanced Trade-In value and Activation discounted price.

Good Luck!!!
What carrier do you activated the new phone? It that means only limits to post pay plan ?

Can you please elaborate on "enhanced Trade-In Value". Is it the same as Samsung trade-in deal listed for all eligible phones. I thought the deal is pretty straight forward as displayed on the web site. Order it via "Activate Today" price selection and Samsung Trade-in discount?
No, it has to be done in store. It cannot be done online. 99% of the Best Buy employees have no idea how to do this trade in. Be prepared to be there a long time. They do the trade in as a separate transaction on a gift card. Then they ring up the new phone.

I gave them my TMobile one (which is postpaid) but they couldn't activate, they tried for an hour, called even their Customer care but couldn't

Eventually Manager said, we will let you buy this phone at the Activation Price, you can use your old SIM and this is how it ended

As long as the phone is in your hand when leaving you can cancel the line.

Actually $300 Off considering Non Activation Price is Full Price.

But they were very sorry for it, it seems some genuine error which even their backend also couldn't fix. Also, I could the store employee helping me once he understood the deal and made sure I could get it. The manager even commented, He should also get the deal as it is so good.

E.g. if one have Phone in $800 category, S22 ultra can be as low as $99.99

S21+ Trade In value is $600

S22+ 128 GB with Activation price is $699.99

So with Trade In of S21+, you can buy S22+ for just $99.99
