Your math is correct, but just know that some Best Buy wouldn't know how to process the enhanced trade in value correctly. I suggest you bring a print out showing the $450 trade in value, but even then, there is no guarantee that you'll get it.

I drove for 20 minutes to a Best Buy the other day just to be told that my phone (Z Flip 3) was not on their trade in list, even though I said I did the same deal just a week ago at a different store. I argued for 20 minutes and didn't get anywhere, so the next day I went to a different store and got the deal in less than 10 minutes.

Not all Best Buy employees are trained the same, so don't be discouraged if one store says no, and just go to a different one.

FYI, you only get these prices if you activate the phone on the big 4 carriers.

When you go in the store to trade in, many of them will have trouble with the trade in value. They'll offer you whatever low amount they would typically give. You'll need to correct them and tell them it's a promo. Show them the webpage on your phone on the BestBuy site (go to any S22 product page and there's a blue heading above the price, click that).

Then, they may believe you but have trouble figuring out their system. When they pull up the model for the trade in, they have to go past the initial screen. When they do, the promo should show up. Then it's going to ask them for the promo code. That code is literally SAMSUNG. It's nowhere to be found otherwise.

I've traded in 3 phones under this promo because of the high values they're offering. Each experience varied.

1) First store did it without issue once I balked at the low trade in and mentioned the promo. He knew everything.

2) Second store couldn't figure out where the promo was and is responsible for the info I provided above.

3) Third guy refused, said they don't do trade ins and when shown the promo called his manager. Manager said Best Buy would have to be stupid to do this and refused. Lol. This was the same store as the first time, just different employees. Went to another store and they did it just fine.

Point is, the experience will vary widely depending upon the knowledge level of the employee. Just be polite and patient and stick to your guns. Most of them just aren't aware of the promotion or familiar with how to do it. One manager was so happy when I told her I thought I knew the promo code that she fist bumped me and thanked me profusely twice. Only one guy was a complete @$$.

Roger that. Why I put activate now in the title. Honestly, this won't be a great deal for many considering what Samsung direct is doing right now (especially S21U cracked screen trade in, etc.), but there is a group here say looking to unload a Z Flip 3 (or even better a Z flip 5G) towards a new phone to keep. . .not just for the GC aspect like last week

I updated with links. But seriously, this is no hidden deal. . .go to best buy website and search for Galaxy S22, and go from there. . .Honestly, you have to choose which model and color and memory once you click the link anyways. . .and once you find the unlocked S22 version phone you want, the "trade in offer" tab link will be above the product title of the phone you want. . .and to get the up to $800 Trade in value (Samsung promo TIV towards unlocked phone purchase bonus value), you have to do both purchase and trade in store anyways. . .Just sayin'

Trade in values are not good unless you are trading a last year model of a phone which will make this deal dull

What does 'activate now' mean? Turn it on and put your SIM in it? Or must add a line on a carrier? Or something else? Being able to go from a N20U to S22 Ultra 512GB for $200 doesn't sound terrible.

Very good deal by combination of previous z flip 3 purchase.

Basically due to zflip/watch purchase last week, Im getting s22+ for 549 and a free watch...... That is exactly what I intended to do... So now I can keep my s22 ultra as a backup and camera only phone....

Do the unlocked phones have all the same band coverage vs getting the T-Mobile version?

So if I go in store to purchase and do trade in, do I get a grace period to go home and do transfer of my current phone Note 20 Ultra 5G onto new phone before I physically give it to Best Buy?

I tried to trade in a z flip 3 for the 800 and they could not figure it out in store, the manager read the details and told me that in order to get the 800 off it was on the un-discounted price.

If anyone is successful let us know how you did it.

As of right now Best buy drop the values and promotional credits from the web trade in

Either add a line or upgrade an existing line on your plan.

Second link shows the Note 20 Ultra being worth $800 in trade in value, however, when I start the process on the best buy app and select it as my trade in phone, it only offers me $430 trade in. Any one know how to fix this?

I see a lot of Galaxy S22 line deals lately. Does that mean these models are a flop for Samsung or they're performing less than expected in terms of how well they're selling? Seems like the line just came out and now they're discounted- or is this normal?
