break yourself free. i did it when the Zfold3 came out and i'm glad i did.. now i'm looking forward to so many upcoming foldables, where as before, my gonads were also in captive.
I'm a long time Android lover, but iMessage, Facetime and AirTags have me by the balls.

$599.99 of you have AT&T and AT&T requires a new line anyway. AT&T sucks

No way to check what a standalone trade in value for Z flip 3 is since it's not listed on https://tradein.bestbuy.com/ . The $500 is T-Mobile version whereas your screenshot is the unlocked version so maybe that'll cause issues?

Grab this. Trade it in for $800 tiv at BB towards an s22u unlocked version which is $899 with activation

Of course if you have something to trade in towards the z flip 3 even better
I don't see an option to trade the Z-flip for $800, its only offering me $600 for the S22U.

You will end up with extra $100 and a type C Cable too.
Type-C is the reason why I am going to do it. Don't care about the credit!

I did exactly this. I traded in my S21+ by paying extra $50, and the trade-in value increase by $200. A saving of $150 is good!

Just wonder if it's strange to trade in the Z flip 3 in the store right after I got it. Or better I go to another BB to get the S22U?

Going to try in store to trade the Flip 3 in for $800 on an unlocked S22 Ultra. I keep getting $600 instead of $800 online.

I didnt know this deal was going on. Just bought the tmobile version for $499. Seems like a really good deal for a spare phone. I usually carry an android and iphone . Android has my second work phone. Perfect design to carry everywhere

It would seem better to put some palm prints all over it, and go to another store to trade it in. Yes you can turn right around, but it doesn't look good. I like to keep a good relationship with the long time rep at my closest store. . .which gives me the benefit of the doubt or extra effort from him next time, that I might not get if I were remembered as an SDer at all costs lol

There's blue bar on top of the S22 line "Trade in offer" click there, or here:

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/clp-cell-phones/unlocked-samsung-galaxy-trade-in/pcmcat1621537879921.c?... [bestbuy.com]

It's in store trade in deal. Of unlocked version of S22, Flip, and Fold. Beauty of this deal is you end up with the unlocked version of S22U in the end

Yeah, I will do different store. Maybe I will play with the Z flip phone for a week before trading it in.
