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 @$$.

does anyone know when this deal ends?

i need to go to BB store soon

OP updated and said the deal dropped by $100. Mondays are apparently reset days for Best Buy. As far as this deal is concerned, it's dead to me if that is the case. I was going to go in to BB to trade in my S10+ for $400 trade in. Not now.

The Best Buy link says it's still $400 trade in, but I guess they did not update the website link; https://www.bestbuy.com/site/clp-...37879921.c


I hate that they don't date anything.

You're still getting $400, but the price of the s22 went back up.

I got the phone - it's really in pristine condition. BUT (!!!) I only noticed now - it's Z Flip, not Flip 5G as mentioned in the BB trade in post. That's just crazy how I could have missed that given I was looking for a phone for a good few hours! Anyway I'll still try to do the trade in.
The phone model says its "Galaxy Z Flip" and number is SM-F700U/DS. And indeed - it does not connect to 5G on T-mo... That sucks.

Is there any way to check it before going to the store? I know that this deal does not show online, but just maybe?

Yeah, the F700 is the Flip 4G. you needed to get the F707 model which is Flip 5G, or of course Flip3 5G. Let us know if it works, but I think you are OOL.

I traded in an A71 5G yesterday for the $200 elevated, even though only A71 is on the Samsung list. However in this case I have the "better" 5G, and I don't think they ever released the A71 4G to the US market (only international), so a mistype or assumption by Samsung on that one.

On a side note, looks like trading in a Z Flip 5G might be easier for the rep than Z Flip3. . .the Z Flip 5G shows up on that first generic list of 28 Samsung phones. . .just click the box wrongly labeled "Z Flip" lol

DS usually stands for 'dual sim' which is generally global international model.

Person you were quoting corrected their statement. . .that it would have been $350 from Samsung and $150 or so after taxes from BB. . .of course that was yesterday's pricing!

Well, it was originally ATT (now unlocked) and there is only one sim slot in SIM tray. Also it's quite possible that if to change the slot - there will be space for another SIM.
And one more also - there is IMEI for eSIM. So maybe they meant this eSIM potential use a second SIM?
Anyways, it doesn't matter. I just need it for a trade in Smilie Hold your breath for me - heading to the store! Smilie
