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 @$$.

The Note 20 Ultra is better than this the S22 ultra?
To me, S22 Ultra has better camera, faster, and longer battery life. Finger scan works better too. 256GB is more than enough for me. I also have OTG cable and USB thumb drive for extra storage.

Has anyone on Verizon prepaid gotten the deal to work? I don't see a specific reason why a prepaid vs postpaid makes a difference to them

This deal is not for prepaid users like you, whatever difference exists now for prepaid vs postpaid is the difference to them.

Thank you.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Note 20 Ultra but it's been acting wonky lately and restarts every now and then without being told to. It will kill me not to have as much storage as I have the 256GB msd pretty full, as well as the 128gb internal BUT to play it safe and have a newer version….I guess the S22 Ultra is in the cards.
