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 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.
No. Has to the towards the purchase of an UNLOCKED Samsung Galaxy phone.

Only good if on the major carriers. I'm on Fi so I'd have to buy the 1300 option which makes it not so great of a deal.

Yes, ignore the guy telling you that it has to be "unlocked".

I want to know about the canceling too but for Sprint/Tmobile.
Same. My Carrier is Tmobile. I tried adding a line 3 times last night and finally just said I'll pay the $100 OOP for it..

I am on the Verizon Pre Paid plan, it seems I am not eligible for this unfortunately. They require a post paid plan for this promo.

Has anyone gotten this deal to work on a Verizon prepaid phone? I don't seem to understand why it's not for prepaid phones? If the phone's paid off, there shouldn't be an issue? A phone is a phone?

Tempting but s22 ultra has no SD card slot. I'm holding onto my perfectly fine S20 ultra until they bring the SD card slot back.

I can't understand why every few years Samsung takes the SD slots out only to put them back in.

Will we have to pay tax on the full $899?
I know in California, you pay tax on the MSRP. Doesn't matter what you paid for it. How that crap ever flew is beyond me. But that's the way it is.

In the fine print: "Excludes phones that are cracked or that lack power." So maybe not..
