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 @$$.

Quote from ScarletCable765 :
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?
The enhanced TIV is for in store only.

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?
They usually want to take your phone right in the store when you do the trade in so I recommend downloading Samsung Smartwitch to your PC, do a back up from your Note 20 on there. Then when you get your new phone, plug it to your PC and do a restore from there.

i have S21.

online TIV shows only $315.
so, if I do it in store, i will get $450?

$900 for S22 Ultra 256GB, minus $450 for TIV is NOT bad at all.

but, not in stock at store for me :-(

When I go through adding to cart then selecting trade in, the value is coming up at $350 for the z flip 3

I'm guessing it's $800 off if the entire trade in is initiated at the store

No stock available for s22u locally, unfortunately. Hope they get it soon while this promo is on.

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?
This is pretty normal. They usually have pretty good discounts several months after release. I am assuming it's because the initial inrush of new purchases tapers off right after release and they want to continue to sell in high volume so discounts start rolling around.

This is a much better deal than ordering from Samsung directly for me. I have a Pixel 4. Best Buy will give me $300. Samsung will give me $95

This is a better deal than samsung website if you dont have trade in or your device is old. I have galaxys10, samsung give me 350 for it +125 rebate. Which make my total drop to 730. Bb take off 400 right off the msrp makes the device cost 900 for 256gb. I get to keep my phone and get a better phone for 170 diff

Say I buy the new phone for $800 with $600 trade in value.
The balance $200 -Should it paid be fully at the bestbuy or would it be a 24 months installment payment/EIP with the carrier ?
(Do I pay the tax on $800 or $200) ?

Thanks for your help
