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 @$$.

Go to your nearest Bestbuy, trade your phone in for any s22 in stock. Then return that phone unopened to get refund in gift card. Use the gift card to buy s22 ultra online, more selection. That was what I did instead of driving around looking for S22 ultra 256 in stock.
If they are going to take my current phone, then it's a no-go for me as I do not have a backup phone to use while I wait.

You will only trade your current phone for the new one once it arrives in their store, not earlier.

Looking to trade in a S21 Ultra for this.

Would only be $100 out of pocket.

However, the S23 will be here soon and from what I hear, the S22 Ultra is barely an upgrade over the S21 Ultra (besides stylus).

But then again, it's only $100.

When the S23 comes out, I'm sure the S21 Ultra will not get as much as an S22 Ultra for trade in value.

Decisions, decisions.
Question: The S22 Ultra comes at $965 with tax at my location. with my S21 Ultra trade-in it would be 965-800=165. If my math is correct, then this deal is similar to the one on Samsung where S22 256GB comes at around $174 + tax. Correct me if I'm wrong

Is a S8+ with a vertical white line on the screen acceptable for trade in? Screen not cracked though.

Anyone know if it's possible to use this deal to offload devices for BB gift card credit?

Not really interested in the device deal, but don't mind going in and acting as if im interested so I can trade in two old iPhones I have lying around.

Anyone if that's possible?

I've seen some posts, where some ppl are saying that they trade in their devices and receive a gift card and follow up by ordering online.

Should I go about it like that?

Thanks for the feedback!

Can you walk into a store, buy activate, turn in trade in device and be done with it? This deal is way better than samsung deal.

From the fine print - Taxes/surcharges due at time of purchase. Taxes applied to price of phone prior to the trade-in credit

I am upgrading from an S10. I wasn't in love with the S22 ultra (too big / boxy and i don't need the stylus). I opted for the S22+ instead. The first person at Best buy had no idea about the promo and insisted my trade in value was $100.

A second employee came over to help and we eventually got it to show the $800 rebate. I am not sure what will happen with the bill credits since the phone's price (256 gb version) was only $700. But i guess I'll wait and see.

Can we just keep the gift card after trade-in instead of buying a phone
You can try on the previous thread someone did get away with giftcard without buying a phone..
of course it is YMMV

Samsung would be 175 plus full tax on 1299.99. so it could be $ 275 out of pocket
