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 @$$.

Is it possible to get a 256BG S22U for $200 out of pocket? I can trade in a regular S21, and willing to do 24 month credit / contract.

Quote from ggrr8t :
I have the 20FE. If you check, that is a $400 trade in. If you go with a carrier plan and get unlimited you will get MUCH more for trade in. In my case it shows $800 for my 20FE with Verizon or ATT unlimited. This is NOT posted to debate the value of the unlimited plan.
Biggest issue here is that the $800 is credited to your bill at 22.22 per month for 36 months. THIRTY SIX!!! that means you either end up paying a sheeeit ton more for the phone to pay off early if you want to upgrade early or keep the same phone for 3 years. It's still tempting, I know. I am in the same boat as you with an S20 FE that I paid $450 for. The 36 months really bothers me though. I'm torn between going through Verizon or getting the unlocked one from BB

Same here. Though if I can get this price or close to it for the 512gb version then I'd probably do it.
I've got a 256gb memory card in my s20 plus right now and both it and my internal storage are around 95% full
😮I can't even think of filling a 128gb memory unless I do a lot of videos n stuff

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
My wife and I both had 128 GB Note20 Ultra too with 256GB SD cards. 128GB Note20 Ultra was 1299.99, 256GB S22 Ultra is also 1299.99. I think 100 for 12gb RAM and 256GB is worth it. I got 512gb for my wife, she loves it much more than using SD card.

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.
Do you get to hold on to your old phone until you get the new phone? How will you transfer data from old phone to new phone?

Traded in my s10 for the s22 ultra and I am personally unimpressed.

I would still be using an s7 if the hardware didn't start failing.
That's really hard to believe. I still use the S10, but yesterday had the opportunity to play with a friend's new S22. It was incredibly fast, gorgeous graphics, has faster charging. Awesome phone.

Ah ok. I am on prepaid though. I doubt they will let me walk out with a discount on a prepaid line

Interesting how BB or Samsung never list the Pixel 6 / 6 Pro in their list of enhanced trade-ins !
