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 @$$.

Who knows how many trade-ins you can do per account? Trying to make sure I stay under the radar with bb so I don't get flagged or something. This is my first time and I've only done 1 so far.

I think BB T&C says 3 of same device every 12 months, but not really sure if that's still the case.

Now the deal is $999 for all, no activation needed. Hope you got a few @ $799 or $849. . .for me it wasn't worth the effort to open/close ATT lines/accounts

Yes $800 or whatever was converted to "Samsung" gift card for trade in would be in BB Gift Card, rest to your original form of payment.

Edit: assuming no $45 restocking fee applies in your situation.
Whats confusing is the enhanced trade in says its towards the purchase of s22 series.
Does that mean the 800 will only apply for s22 series and not anything else in bb?

I'm on the same boat and ordered z flip on eBay today but coming on Thursday, however when I checked enhanced trade in Samsung promo page is still active so based on that I'm hoping we are good but we never know 🤷

B/w if you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for z flip on eBay? Just want to see if at all I got a good deal myself 😬

On other note, based on my conversation with Best Buy employee last month, deals on Best Buy reset every Monday so I'm guessing whatever change happened was on Best Buy's offers and NOT on Samsung promo, hopefully I'm right lol.

I got my relatively expensive - for 335 USD. Wanted to stay on the safe side with absolutely pristine screen and excellent overall coordination. But I've seen reports here when even creased screen got ok with trade in. Such a phones can be bought on eBay for 200-250.
Also I over paid for shipping to get it by Saturday, but the seller is @%#$& and shipped it with cheaper service which does not include weekends delivery.

After all the BB confusion and time waisted, I ended up buying directly from Samsung.


Got two Galaxy S22 Plus with 256GB for $649 each. Not the best deal in the World but not bad either considering Samsung is paying $600 for two S9 with cracked screen.


No carrier Activation and phones will be here tomorrow.

You can't combine multiple old phones for one new phone, can you?
