I didn't use the z-flip, I also wasn't using the s21+. I traded it to make money. I traded in the z-flip for $800 best buy GC.
Did they give you the gift card without making you purchase one of their latest samsung phones?

I told them I wanted the S22U, but once they processed the GC, I told them the phone was too expensive so I didn't want it anymore. They just said okay and I walked out.

Is this deal for Flip B&M only?
Wondering if we can order online for in-store pickup.

What phone did you try to trade in with code SAMSUNG?
I have old iPhone I want to trade in.

Thanks!
Dude. The time you took to post this, you could have clicked on the link, use your two eyes, and see that the deal IS ONLINE. Whether you pick up in store is up to you.

Obviously if you want the $800 in credit, you'll have to go to the store.

This is the most ridiculous post I've ever read from probably the laziest person or the worst reading comprehension skills ever.

2 stores having issues with their system. Samsung password entry isn't showing in their system... will comment if they clear it up.

Fix. It cleared up for me. Got the 800 gc but I did use it towards the s22U unlocked

A lot of steps to do this deal successfully. When does each expire?

1) When does the $499.99 sale price of the ZF3 expire?

2) When does the $899.99 sale price of the unlocked s22u expire?

3) When do the increased in-store trade values expire for the phones listed on the chart that is titled "Save up to $800 on select unlocked Samsung Galaxy phones?"

trade-in to get the flip was easy, but to get the $800 TIV was a diff story...

waste 2 hours on complete clueless Reps & Manager, I have to show them the best buy promo page to verify but never show them this SD post.

Did you do the double dip trade up? In other words, did you first trade up to the ZF3. Then trade in ZF3 for s22u?

Thanks for all the posts, but what would be the best deal if:
1. I have a trade-in for the flip
2. Want to get the S22U either stay with TMb
3. Or go with another carrier
4. Or get unlocked and go with a small carrier?

In order to get the Flip for $500, you have to buy it via carrier (enter your details, but pay for it outright, and it won't affect your promotions, EIP, etc).
After you have the Flip, you can trade that in for an unlocked S22 or really almost any Samsung phone for an enhanced $800 TIV. That enhanced $800 is given as a GC, which can go towards the phone you're buying obviously. Some stores seem to care that you're buying an unlocked phone instead of carrier branded, and some stores don't seem to care

The price of the S22 ultra unlocked when activating on a carrier is 899, right?

Thank you!

Yes. My stores (at least here in Houston) are having issues with the promo box not appearing. Literally they have to "try" multiple times for it to stick. I ended up doing it over 2 days. 1 day traded in s21 for flip (cool phone in itself) and the next day at another store I traded the flip for the s22 ultra (typing on it now).

I was told by a store rep that this promotion is going end today. He also said that it might pop again tomorrow, but not sure .

Well I turned $300 USD into a flip that I'm gonna keep and play with and $1200 bb bucks. Gonna be done with this one. Best of luck to everyone else getting in on this train before it ends.

I ordered it but canceled after thinking it over a bit more. I don't have a trade in so its basically $650 for a S22 Ultra I don't really need.
