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 oddphysicist :
This enhanced trade in is only when you walk in store and ask them for the enhanced trade in values for unlocked samsung phones. They should find it in their system and use the code "samsung" and then it will show up. They will first process the trade in and give you a BB gift card. Then you can buy the new phones by using this gift card against them
Me too and I got the 256 GB model

Just walked out of BB after ordering s22plus 256gb unlocked.
Traded in zflip 3 for 800 bucks, total was $16.33 for this transaction.
Got zflip 3 and Galaxy watch 4 46mm lte classic for 598 few days ago.
Final cost for s22plus 256gb unlocked and galaxy watch 4 classic 46mm lte $615.

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
I have a Note20 Ultra and added a memory card. Yours should be expandable too.

This seems silly to ask, but they give you the gc for the trade in but if they don't have the new phone they have to order it? So they'll take your phone or when you get the new one they'll take the old one?

note 10 is a trash phone compared to 10+ and they are both priced the same. I have a feeling that storage upgrades and plus and ultra will eventually belong to the same trade-in bucket.

What happens to the remaining balance on the traded devices? Do you have to pay it off separately with tombile?
I still pay my normal EIP monthly payments and still get my bill credits with tmobile.

Honestly, I'm still on the Note 9 and I love it. Seriously, perfect size, perfect fingerprint sensor location. I don't need 6 cameras, headphone jack is nice and so is the expandable micro SD slot. If anything, rather than trying to save $200, I'll just go out and buy another Note 9 on ebay for around the same price.

To me, s22 ultra has much better camera, faster, and better battery life. I'll miss the SD card slot, but 256GB is enough for me. Plus, I has OTG cable and USB thumb drive for more space.
