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 @$$.

Huh? You traded the cracked screen one to Best Buy? The find print says specifically no cracked screens
Maybe he meant the deal from Samsung. You know some people, they love confusing others for no apparent reason.

Samsung has a similar deal with cracked screen phones such as S21U, where they give you $1,000 regardless.

No fees if you cancel before the 3 days. You'll get charged for a full month otherwise.

When a lot of people did the t-mobile Costco $300 gift card, the consensus was 3 days to avoid any charges, unless you need to use their service and get charged for a month's usage. You can search the thread on SD.

I didn't have any issues nor errors, just went to bestbuy.com S22 ultra page, added 256GB to cart and used the gift card at payment option. Used credit card for the remainder and device was ordered. Is supposed to arrive at store for pick up next Sunday June 12.

Is this deal really only valid until Sunday?

I went to do this deal this past week to trade in some phones.

The rep could not get the full price down to $100 and could only get it down to $450 because the S22 Ultras had to be shipped to store and they weren't physically available at the moment (with an S21 Ultra trade in).

It was suggested that I purchase it at this price right now and then when the S22 Ultras came in, I could come back in, do a refund and do the trade-in process to get the appropriate value.

But if this deal expires on Sunday I'm afraid the deal won't be honored anymore.

Since your trade in is being converted to a GC, then applied as $800 towards S22U purchase (that's how it jumps from $350 to $800). . .you need to tender your phone when you go to store to order and have them do the gift card then. Not when picking up next week

The Samsung $800 should still be active for awhile, but sales price on phone probably not. I guess they could make it happen later but that will involve manager overrides, etc etc. Try another store today maybe?

That's what I did. Ordered the phone wednesday afternoon and have it shipped to my house on friday. Heading to the store later today to return the phone and complete the trade-in and the deal.

I think you're in a better position than the person you were replying to, as your new phone will at least arrive while the sales price is still active (today) which makes return/rebuy easier. Hope they figure out the $800 GC this time, as they obviously didn't know how to do it when you ordered the S22U.

I have a s10 on Verizon network. I am thinking of going the Verizon route to get the S22 ultra 256gb which would give me $800 for the s10 vs $400 for going unlocked route. I plan on keeping the phone for around 2 years. Is there any reason why it wouldn't be a good choice of going the Verizon route? Also I am confused, by getting the S22 ultra can I get a galaxy watch 4 classic 46mm for $50?

Otterbox defender pro which probably is heavier than s22 ultra itself..

Do people use phones these days as a football or something???

Can I trade in more than 1 phone for purchasing just a single device, or can you not stack the trade in promo value?

BS on their part. Show them the page that is STILL up on their site. I think they confuse the unlocked phones with the carrier ones. Which is ridiculous on their part.
Then tell them to scroll down and read the terms and conditions.
Sometimes you have to explain their own promos to them.

The $800 in bill credits is if you buy two T-Mobile variant phones. And this deal is also STILL up.

Tell them to check out the Samsung phone page on their website to see all the deals. They are right there for them to see.
