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 @$$.

I see they're doing $799.99 for the s22 ultra 256gb if activated on TMobile, and then there's an $800 trade in value for an s21 ultra, is that right? So basically you'd just pay tax on $800 and get the phone for free aside from that? Does this come with any bill credits from T-Mobile or is it all instant discounts?

Thanks for the tip to check! The Verizon version is $849.99. Not as good as T-mo, but still $50 bucks is $50 bucks (vs. the unlocked version, which I don't care about--VzW unlocks their devices after 60 days anyway).

Add to cart. I select 256gb green s22 ultra, add to cart then it makes you pick a carrier which is where it shows TMobile and Sprint at $799 and ATT and Verizon at $899.

Can this be combined with the Verizon $800 trade-in bill credit offer [bestbuy.com]? If so, that's a crazy good deal for those of us with old phones!

$850 for the Verizon version of the S22 Ultra 256 GB
-$800 in bill credits over 36 months for an upgrade on any unlimited plan (see link above)

So getting this phone for effectively only $50+tax+activation fee? Am I reading this right??

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.
It doesn't work with MVNO's, or so the employee told me when I tried to get the "activate now" price when I traded my flip3 towards the s22. I currently have metro by T-Mobile, but they said I couldn't get the "activate now" price and I had to pay for the more expensive "activate later" option (since the former only works with AT&T, Verizon, TMobile).

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 trade in offer is valid only instore only, so you cannot order phone online and trade in. We need to walk into store and trade in device and buy one (provided they have instock) the one we are looking for
