Is the trade in working on all colors? I only see the cream colored version listed on Best Buy's trade-in page when searching for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G.

So did they actually give you a gift card or was the $800 a trade in credit?

TMobile through BestBuy also have this, I asked customer care and they are saying for existing customers No New Line needed so as long as you buy 2 Phones and existing customer, You will get Bill Credits. For new customer new lines needed
Does it work for paid-in full or only financing?

No Idea. Bestbuy saying just purchase 2 phones if you're existing customer

No financing and even no new line for existing customers. But I doubt 😕

Finally got it to work, 5/20
traded in my iphone 11 pro max towards the z flip 3 which is on sale for $499 and paid $149 out of pocket because of the iphone trade in credit of $360
went to another best buy after i few hours and tried trading it in for the promo but the employees didnt know how so i left.
next day( today) 5/21 went to another store and took the employees awhile, an older employee told them what to do but they tried doing it through verizon but ended up with $600 credit but i told them no
its $800 and showed them the website promo for samsung unlocked phones.
finally they did it another way as im giving the store the phone and they put the $800 on a gift card (they have to type in the promo which is just samsung, i bought the unlocked s22 ultra unlocked for $899 plus taxes so it brought it down to $163 for me.
1:30 hr mins later..... finally have it.. paid $312 out of pocket and some change
could you clarify somethig for me? when you traded in the iphone 11 pro max did you have to get a "verizion" z flip 3"? or was it an unlocked one but it was "activated on your verizion service" i am asking because the att is asking to add a line to buy a zflip 3

Dang it. Lol I was hoping that would be the case. Oh well, I'll still give it a try. Also, did they make you activate the phone there or did they allow you to keep the box sealed

That BB BOGO $800 off link says:
Requires at least one new line of service and a 24- or 30-month installment billing plan.

That's for existing customers. New customers need to add 2 lines, and monthly payments. . .

so what does the promo code 'SAMSUNG' actually do? does it only work on flip trade in value? (600->800)

Will the code work for my iphoneXR($400) as well?

For specific TIV for different phones under the Samsung promo, the link is in the wiki, several times in this thread, and as mentioned several times if you click on an unlocked S22 line or Z flip 3 on BB, above the the product title on those unlocked version product pages, there is a blue link "Trade in offer"

Anyways, for the XR, carrier versions TIV seem to be $235 for TMO and $135 for Verizon or unlocked. This Samsung promo value is $300 for XR. . . This is supposed to be towards unlocked version phone purchase of S22 line, flip, fold, or s21FE. Not carrier version. And in store purchase only.

Please let me know where you are seeing $400 TIV for an XR. Have one waiting to trade, and that would be sweet!

Of course it doesn't. It's the code the mobile rep in a BB store needs to enter to elevate the TIV. In store only
