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 @$$.

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.
How? Chat with Samsung store?

I have a S20+ 5G and trade in is $600 right now. Can I take advantage of this deal if I am currently on a Tmobile MVNO prepaid plan oe do I need to be with one of the major carriers? Can I get S22 Ultra for $300+tax straight up with my trade in and no need to sign up with a carrier?

It's because it's the newest pixel, which they are still selling. Same reason any iphone 13 isn't on the list.
That's... not true as to why.

Almost always are the latest devices included for the max tier price. Even earlier in the year when the s22 ultra first released, the iphone 13 series was on there, and the other way around too, on the latest iphone promos, the latest s22 series was included for trade ins

For AT&T, this deal seems to require a new line:

Weʼre sorry. At this time, AT&T is only allowing new lines to be added.

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
So you can technically just trade in for a gift card?

Ymmv. The way the deal works is that the enhanced trade in values are only if you intend to purchase a latest Samsung phone at the same time. They just do it in two different transactions. You could get lucky if your local BB store doesn't have what you want in stock and you tell them that you want to go home and order. Maybe then they will let you walk out with a gc
