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 @$$.

Any link for eBay with good seller? I am also searching for some z flip for trade in and many are not clean.
I ordered from a seller 'wirelesssdepot' (yes, 3 S's) the one I ordered has a dead pixel and scratches, but it was $207+tax. Per another reply on this thread, it might be too late if you need to complete this transaction by Sunday. Mine shipped today after I ordered last night, and I think i'll be lucy to get it by Saturday to take advantage.

Went to best buy 3 weeks ago for a similar deal. Traded in a Note 20 ultra for 800 and I wanted a 512 S22 ultra. Well... after showing the reps the deal on best buy, they processed the trade in but... they realized they would have to order the phone since they didn't have any 512 in stock. I took the gift card and then upgraded my line at Verizon where they gave me a deal on the same phone, just not unlocked. I personally would only get 512 or 256. The ram is nice to have.

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.
What condition zflip1 did you buy? I bought one with a crease in screen and crossing fingers BB takes it. Will arrive Friday.

No go for me, I have a white 256gb z flip3 and they said they couldn't take it in on trade-in because it's not in their database as BB never sold that color. It was a samsung.com exclusive color that I preordered from Samsung.

That's odd. I traded in my Unlocked Pixel 3 to get the Z Flip 3 and they took it even though the only one that showed up in their database was the Verizon model. Unless they've updated their trade in policy. Maybe try later with another rep or another Best Buy.

For people live in the south bay area, the mountain view store knows this deal, but Milpitas store doesn't allow this discount together with activation and the manager is quite rude.

No. Phone has to be paid off per bestbuy terms. Maybe a not so knowleable rep might let u do it without checking.

Yup. Your device EIP will still get billed at the account level.
