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 @$$.

Did promo with AT&T and the phone was $799. After the 800 gift card, the total came out to activation fee($25) + phone tax($47) + new line($55). Will try to cancel the new line after picking up the phone on this week.

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
How long ebay took to send.. wonder if this offer exist for another week till i receive

Went in today to Bestbuy to purchase the S22 ultra 256gb or 512gb phone via the Verizon trade in option and they have none of the phones in stock or for delivery. They apologized and said since there is no stock available they cannot sell me a phone and unfortunately the deal with Verizon ends today.

Any options or thoughts? Store closes 7pm ET.

I was going to trade in my S10 for the $800 monthly credit.

Store sales told me they can not place order to be picked up at store nor ship to my house. I showed store the phone I added to my cart online and able to check out. Agent agreed to do trade-in and handed me the gift card.

Does this mean you were able to order the phone and ship it to the store? They are unable to add the phone to the cart to ship to store.

Sorry if I am misunderstanding you.
