Refer to these other threads if you want the in's and outs of getting the store rep to actually get $800 trade in value to pop up on their screen, etc. etc. They've really started on different aspects, and morphed into overlapping concepts to get the same or similar deal. . .

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.
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 @$$.

I could get s22 for $74 according to samsung website
Just thinking of the whole experience gives me hives. I would definitely recommend #1 do NOT trade in your phone until yoube played around with the device you want to get at best buy or somewhere in store. #2 don't get anything except for the ultra if you are set on the s22 series #3 if you are text exempt, go ahead and just walk in to your local best buy and they will match deal and process your tax exempt on the spot once they set up your exemption account..then you won't have to deal with their rude outsourced BS customer "diservice".
Sorry yall, hate to sound like a bitter whiner but if I can save even 1 person from the horrific experience I had it will all be wroth it.(Ok,now you can applaud my heroic tendencies).
But yeah, I get that move of dropping a gift card or ordering a couple of pizzas. . .but that is more feasible and less roadblocks when done at a TMO or VZW store, lol. But priceless sometimes lol
But this person I think was rather trying to leave feedback. And they already left the store anyways. I would mention your good previous experience with employee XXX with the person at the front door, many times an asst or MOD, and go from there . .might help them out more in the end than just filling out a form in store or online. . .

Listen I was "escorted" towards the door by manager the other day just for mentioning trying to buy an S22 and trade in a ZF3, and it had been used. . .that response doesn't happen when people are civil about doing trade ins. That store probably had several people show up and do pickup/trade of ZF3 at Mobile counter, and then immediately say they wanted to trade them for S22U, or gift card, and then return the S22 to same store that day. . .

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.
S10 trade in value is $400, not $800.
