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 @$$.

Thanks OP. I was able to stack all deals. Grabbed a Z Flip 3 |+ Watch, then traded the phone for $800. Was able to then get an unlocked S22 Ultra 256GB for $899+Tax. I did see an option to get it for $799+tax with a carrier if I added a number. But, it kept erroring out when trying to create a new number and I didn't want to lose out on the last S22 Ultra, so I paid the extra $100+Tax.

Anyone know if you do create a new line on say, AT&T..can you cancel the line/account immediately and not incur any fees? I imagine it would have been cheaper than the extra $100 but I didn't want to risk it.
Did you get a carrier Z flip 3? How much did you pay?

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.
Do you ever back up your media and docs? Not trying to be funny, a genuine question

I backed up my phones using Samsung cloud. For pictures and videos, I transferred them out using OTG cable and USB thumb drive. 256gb is more than enough for me. 512gb should be good for my wife for awhile until I have to transfer her videos out.

Interesting how BB or Samsung never list the Pixel 6 / 6 Pro in their list of enhanced trade-ins !
It's because it's the newest pixel, which they are still selling. Same reason any iphone 13 isn't on the list.

Quote from Gaz :
This would be a much more tempting deal if Best Buy actually had stock of any of these phones. Every color in unlocked 256 GB and 512 GB is sold out and will take 3-7 days to ship in for pick up at Best Buy, same for any store within 50 miles of me. So how does this work? Do you go trade in your phone and have them order the new one and you're SOL without a phone for a week while it comes in?
technically, that's correct.

I went to the store in NJ this morning and had Z Flip3 to trade from past week's deal. I was offered $800 for it after checking for 10 minutes, then I was told that S22 would be 849.00 for 256GB which made sense because that was the activate later price. I asked can you activate now for 649.99 and was told which won't work because phone is not available in store and will have to order. I suggested nicely if I can just trade in and get a BB gift card for $800 and she agreed. Upon leaving the store, I placed an order for S22 256GB for 649.99 plus Watch4 Active version for 99.99 because if you purchase phone (s22 series) and watch4 together, you get $150 off of sale price so I ended up paying nothing because my total for phone and watch came out to be 799.36.

I thought that was pretty sweet deal considering I am getting new phone (Feb 2022 vs Aug 2021) and watch4 for dad for Father's Day without paying a penny.

I think if you go in store and ask nicely, agent will listen and help you out as this TIV is little tricky process this time around.

Edit: when I placed an order for S22 unlocked 256GB, it showed a delivery date of June 8th so I will only have to wait a day, that was nice. I think inventory might be low in the area where you're located.

I know! I want to get rid of my POS Pixel 6 so bad.

-Actually not a POS but the battery life is a terrible (a little over 4 hour SOT max and loses almost 10% per hour without use, less than 2 hours if I'm playing a game) and it overheats when it's hot out.

Simple answer: yes
if you transfer data yourself, it's free.
If BB rep does the transfer data for you, it's $45 flat fee.

Yes, sometimes. Maybe the rep sees all the other customers and doesn't want to spend the extra time, not available in store, etc. etc.

You will get the enhanced trade in value, but not the extra $200 for activating it on a carrier.

Went directly to Samsung, and traded in my Note20 Ultra and picked up an unlocked S22 Ultra 256GB for $349, without having to add a line.

I bought mine for $288 after trade in my S22 ultra. Now it's $88. I guess it'll be free after trade in next month.
I assume they will be paying us to take them soon.
