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 @$$.

Trade in values are not good unless you are trading a last year model of a phone which will make this deal dull
Exactly. $100 for my S10.

Dealing with BB is a nightmare! Last z fold 3 deal they have wasted 4 days of my time and I ended up getting a full refund, never again!
I am having a nightmare too, to get full refund for the watch. The store says they will give me the bundle price refund, yet they charged the full price on the credit card.

I'm seeing $400 for the S10? All I hit was the "Trade-In offer" on the main page.

I have a Samsung S20 5G which according to trade-in charts is valued at $450. And Samsung S22 256GB is selling for $599.99 activation price. So I assume if I trade-in I would get S22 for $149.99 ($599.99-$450)? Best Buy is about a 30 minute trip for me so wanting to verify math before I drive out.

Quote from yrneh :
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 means you have to activate the phone on one of the major carriers Sprint / T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T at the time of purchase to get that price.

Since you're purchasing the phone outright you may be able to turn around and port that number out to cancel the service and keep the unlocked phone. Not sure if they'll try to lock an unlocked phone if you activate it at Best Buy.

Weird. This is what it shows once I've added it to the cart and started the process.

Looks like that is an instore only deal. Its actually in the OP's post. I just missed it. May have to stop by BB.

*Valid only on in-store trade-in of a smartphone in good working condition.

I bought mine for $288 after trade in my S22 ultra. Now it's $88. I guess it'll be free after trade in next month.

hmm...this might be worth trading in a s21 ultra 128gb for $800 and get a s22 ultra 256gb for $154 ($100 + $54 tax) by upgrading on an existing upgrade eligible sprint kickstarter plan (I am sticking with sprint for the foreseeable future. no new line needed and no payment installments). Since this is the 256gb version that has same 12gb ram as my s21 ultra 128gb and I get $128gb more storage, minor improvements in camera, refresh rate, etc, new battery, and better trade in value. I should do it right? Only thing is the store that has it in stock is 1 hr away and gas is expensive...

I am going to try a different store later and see if i have any better luck.
