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 rocket007 :
I have S21 +. Should I trade-in or wait for the new model to be released ?
If you have a use case that can benefit having the stylus, then there is your answer. However, there is hardly any improvements between the s21 and s22, just the usual camera tweak and minor spec bump. From family and online users, I've heard the battery isn't lasting as long as the s21. The s23 will be out early next year so I'm personally holding out until then. Saves me from buying more cases for short term use too.

So I traded in a Flip3 last week for the S22 Ultra 256gb. Rep did the trade-in first for a $800 giftcard. I told them I wanted to activate on T-mobile and add a new line (additional $100 off).

Sameday I contacted T-mobile and canceled the new line.

Today I pricematched via live chat: $949 --> $799

Quote from EDHA :
for all of those who keep saying has to be done in store please let us know how you had the bb rep pull up the phone to get those values, i got told something different even after showing them the page that states the trade in values. I am going to try a different store later and see if i have any better luck.
I have answered enough question in the following thread so if you want to know the correct way to trade-in please read this thread
It is all about you need to trade in the phone first and get a BB gift card then activate the phone and paying it using the BB gift card.. and yes 80% BB rep will not know how to do it correctly, so you have to tell them how to do it
