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 @$$.

Just did it today and it went smooth. Gave me an $800 gift card. I went as soon as they opened so I basically had the entire store's staff working to get the trade-in right lol.

Think it's per number, you'll know when you use the same number a couple of times.

No local stores have the 256GB variants. Do they let me trade in today and order for pickup later on behalf of me? (I guess not as the promo requires activation)
Anyway, I'm going to trade-in Z Flip 3 for S22U. Worth it even with 128GB variants?

It was soft earlier this year for me. Opened a new account in BB store and no hard pull records on EQ, EX, and TU. Might be location-specific?

Trade your flip for any s22 in stock activate later, don't open the new phone, return it for gift card, use the gift card to buy whatever s22 ultra you want online.

No luck on my local BB, I tried to activate a S22 Ultra on a new ATT line and total price came at $749 however the trade in price for my old S9 was $50 instead $200.

Success! Just got home from BB store. Purchased A Z Flip 5g on eBay for about $230 after tax, got it in the mail yesterday and successfully traded it for an S22+ 256gb. Total with tax the the phone was $827, offset by $800 GC From trade, making my total cost just over $250 (including price paid for trade phone) after taxes for S22+.

The rep I got was pretty cool and he made a point to let me know that I could return the phone unopened and would be refunded in GC, which would effectively be receiving a $800 BB GC for having paid $230. Now It's just a question of ethics Smilie

Went in, asked about the promo, gave them my z flip 3.
They barely looked at it, flipped it open tapped two times, and closed it and that was it. Like, it could have been found or stolen or something.

They only had the 128GB s22 ultra in stock and told me I'd have to drive to another store 1 hour away to get the 256GB model (same price etc).

I initially said ok ill take the 128GB (this would be for a future trade in anyway).

While she's scanning the giftcard I asked, "hey, can you apply that to an order from the website and ship it instead?". Three consultations, one manager, and a new associate later, it was a done deal.

Got a green s22 ultra for $170 after tax/trade-in being shipped. Getting my samsung.com red s22 ultra in about 10 days too.

Yup. It was $350 trade-in, and another $450 with the promo. They just gave me the gift card and that's it. Could use it on anything really, not just a phone.
Traded in my T-mobile flip 3.

Don't know about BB, but Samsung itself offers $700 for the S21+. I don't want to activate a new line with BB.
