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 @$$.

Well, managed to get the zflip3 and galaxy watch 4 for $500 and $50 last week, traded in (took 2 stores of effort) then returned for GC. Bought another zflip3 unlocked for the $800 GC amount and got another Galaxy watch 4 for $50. I'm currently at $600 for a zflip3 and 2 Galaxy watch classics. Also just bought 2 zflip1 off ebay (total $750), will try and trade in (2)zflip1 and (1)zflip3 next week.

Best case final scenario...pay $1350 for $2400 best buy credit and 2 Galaxy watch classics.

When i tried to get $800 BB GC for my Z Flip3 (T-Mobile) that I bought last week and didn't even open the box - I was told I have to open it, use it for 60 days before I can trade it in.
Is it true or should i try another store/employee?
lmao, you're doing the least and don't deserve this "deal" LMAO

Tried to do this today. Spent over an hour in store and turned out they didn't have the device. They wouldn't let me take the gift card to order online, so they reversed the trade and cancelled the gift card.

Where are you seeing the s22 ultra for $799 when activated on T-Mobile?
After you add the item to cart, it shows "here are your unlocked activation options" sprint and Verizon list 899, while t-mobile and at&t list 799. Good luck lol

Went to BB yesterday, and after my $400 S10+ trade in, total OTD was just over $1k.

What am I missing here?

I happened to order the same 256GB S22U from Samsung last week for $937.

Not sure what the deal here is.

Another person who cannot follow instructions.

The in store trade in value of the s21+ is 600. S22u 256gb is 899 with activation (799 with a new line on tmobile or att).

Yes, I signed up for a new line with T-mobile, and canceling once the phone arrives. It should be here tomorrow, so I will know how difficult it is to cancel. They may or may not make me pay a prorated 3 or 4 days for service even though I haven't gotten the device yet, but no big deal if I have to pay for a few days of service.

If the shipping carrier has it, you can cancel now if you want. Best buy doesn't care once it leaves the warehouse.

Don't you lose all your pics and things if you trade in your phone but they have to ship it? I know pics are stored in Google cloud but I feel like the quality of the pics aren't the same. Is there a way around this?
