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 @$$.

I tried going today but was told there's a "system update" with AT&T. So I couldn't trade in my phone. The rep said the promo goes through the weekend.

Yeah, I've run into a rogue store or two lately. You didn't agree to contract, but rather TMO or other carrier activation, when you got the original S22+ 128GB for $799. Were you able to get an S22+ 256GB for $749 after the return at that original store?? Pasadena store might be one of those no double dip deals kind of stores in general, or just that the commission lies in original store, and they don't care because no money in their pockets. . .probably both it sounds
Right, agree to let them activate the phone by inputting last 4 SSN and provide Best Buy PIN.
I traded in an iPhone XR ($130 from Total Wireless) for $300 toward S22+ that is on sale for $749. Paid with gift card and have some leftover.

Tried to trade in my zflip3 and get S22 ultra 256...BB employee and manager was blaming that I was trying to double dip..saying I can either trade in Zflip3 for 800 and buy S22 ultra at full price which is 1300$ or use another promo to get 400$ off activating on TMobile and get 350 for my trade in and pay 600$ for S22 ultra...but cannot combine both to get S22 ultra for 899 and pay 800$ using my zflip3 trade

Update :

after trying to explain to store manager and employee at BB and having heated discussion and they not letting me to this trade in .


I did this ::::

1.Trade my zflip3 for 800$ and buy S22 ultra at 1300$-800$ =570$ at bestbuy

2. Went in next day to same store returned the S22 ultra and got 800$ as gift card and actual 570$ back to my credit card.

3.at Mobile center at same Bestbuy made them order S22 ultra 256gb unlocked activated on TMobile for 899$ and paid 800$ using gift card from step 2 and finally got the deal for 100$+tax.

$999 is what I see for iPhone 13 pro (tmo). Is $899 for new line or new account? I do see $899 for ATT new line/account.

oh really!?
didn't someone say that above that it got extended? maybe using a different promo code now or the guys at bb didn't get that memo?

The sale price is still 899 and the trade-in page promo is still up on BB's site.
