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 @$$.

You should add if it has a contract or not. Contracts kill this deal.

Curious if anybody was able to activate on an existing line? Some users reported success in the previous thread but that seemed to be exceptions. Thanks in advance.
You can Order Online with Activation so avoid the trouble in-store

Ok, this post has my attention.

I currently have the Note 20 Ultra 5G 128GB and it has a cracked screen that I plan on having repaired for $29.99 on Wednesday. I have a 256CB MicroSD card in it that I keep a lot of stuff on.

I have watched from afar the flip and the fold BUT worry that I am too rough on a cell and either model too fragile - I like a BIG screen AND my S-pen.

Then this post pops up today and it has my interest.

I bought my Note from Best Buy for Verizon and still owe around $200 on it but can pay off.

So if I am reading this right, I can get $800 trade in at the store and get a S22 Ultra with 256GB upgrade for $___?

I like the concept of the fold BUT I am not sure I could maintain one (protect it). And, as we all know there will always be new models and deals but this particular one seems pretty good if I want to upgrade and unload my Note 20 ULTRA (it's been acting up lately too).

So if I get the screen repaired, can I go into Best Buy on Wednesday evening and still do this? What cost? Would the Fold be a better deal? What's the winning Lottery numbers for this weekend? Etc.....

Thank you in advance.

I am currently on Cricket wireless with an unlocked S10 from Samsung. I drove all the way to the best buy and I was told that I cant do it without paying full price? I'm not sure if the bestbuy person did not understand the deal but the way I see it was the following:

1. Buy an unlocked S22+ 256GB for $749.99
2. Trade in my unlocked S10 from Samsung for $400 per their enchance trade in.
3. Pay the difference?
Can someone explain to me if its possible for my situation?

Did you read the post/click on the links? The info is there, you tell them you want to trade it in using the Samsung promo.

Wait.
If you trade in and get it for 99.99 then you would have another trade in. The experience is 100.
