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 @$$.

Nothing I bought them online at Samsung.com used my military discount and the 1000$ discount for trading in a s21 ultra and I have one but don't plan on sending it in for trade it since I bought these with a prepaid card and have horrible credit anyways. Then went home opened this beautiful phone stuck my Sim card in started the set up process and that was it doesn't have to be locked to any network. You can purchase the fully unlocked ones and that's my recommendation because you can use the phone with 99.9% of all carries out there even the free government plans

Don't we already have multiple threads for this Samsung phone deal at Best Buy. I guess a daily repost is required for those that cannot read the same dumb questions and comments that have been repeated hundreds of times in the other threads.

The website showed that only adding a new line is available to get the discount for AT&T.
What about the in-store purchase?
Is it possible to upgrade the existing line in AT&T?

This deal for the discounted ultra just came back so that's why it was posted. Some people aren't going to sift through pages of old threads just to see if the deal comes back or not.

With Samsung phones it comes down to dumping your device at the right time to get the best trade in for it. If you keep it more than a few years it becomes worthless. The battery service for my Note 20 Ultra is $80. With Honey and Chase deals as well as the trade in for $93 more I can upgrade to the S22 Ultra. That also buys me 2 years more of great trade in value in most cases.
Yes but the note 20 ultra is the better phone, lol.

Getting a competent BBY employee to get the correct trade in value will be the hardest part here.

Wife and I both have Note 20Ultras. No expandable memory is really a biotch...

Would be 100 net for 256gb or 200 net for 512gb model.

Worth it or wait? We've had the phones since 8/20
