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 @$$.

In a perfect world, they and you both have phones to upgrade, and you both go into BB and make it happen together (assuming he has a second line available for you to use for the upgrade).
If they are close friends treating him or the family to dinner seems like suitable repayment in my book.
Like OP mentioned, I've done 3 upgrades like this, it doesn't affect his account in anyway that I am aware of since phone is paid in full and not a EIP or count against any future upgrade quota that I am aware of. It should be fine even if there were some quote it would be in excess numbers anyway.
Sounds like the deal is going away after tomorrow (seems was extended due to 3 day sale). I would act fast if it were me.
BB associate kept mentioning that it would only be an "upgrade" and no change to service but I was unclear what all that meant for my friends account and didn't want to burden my friend anymore.
Buying the phone with New line activation with T-Mobile is only $799 - then cancel the line.
The phone is totally unlocked.

see that thread here:
https://slickdeals.net/f/15498115-new-customers-lines-128gb-samsung-galaxy-s21-5g-smartphone-for-t-mobile-400-free-s-h-activation-needed
i wonder if someone who did this in dec can do this again now.
i.e., activate a new line and then cancel with tmobile. :-)
note that new line price is $100 less ($899 for existing vs. $799 for new) with tmobile.

Went to another store in Manhattan and guy knew exactly what he was doing and got things done, printed and signed in all about 20-30 mins (Less if his site wasn't lagging)
$179 after taxes out the door for a T-Mobile branded Unlocked S22 Ultra in Green.
I believe the work around is that if you go the complete unlocked route they would not be able to stack it on top, but if you were to go through your carrier (Note it won't be for EIP) it should apply correctly as the trade in will be processed first, rep has gift card in hand and then applies it to the "Upgrade" transaction and then the rest paid via card.
