EDIT 06/27:
The unlocked S22 series phones have gone back up to MSRP, save one, the S22 Ultra 256GB/12GB RAM Unlocked version with activate TODAY with carrler, which is sweetened to $350 off, @ $949.
Other S22 series unlocked with activate today or later seem to have gone back up to MSRP (probably until Friday).
Same up to $800 Samsung Trade in value promo still applies. See below for link for that. And, just to remind everyone, this trade in promo is for IN STORE TRADE & IN STORE PURCHASE (grab/pickup in store or home delivery, but all must originate in store!!!)
If you just want the S22 ultra unlocked activate now 256GB model, with no trade, for $949, then you can order online or in store
=================================================================================
Update 06/13: Discount has lowered to up to $300 off. . .but strangely enough, the biggest $300 discount now comes from Unlocked and Activate LATER/NEVER. Perfect for those on MVNO's or not wanting to sign up for any plan or commitment etc.!!!
i.e.:
S22 Ultra 256GB unlocked activate later/never. . .$999 (128GB versioin same $999)
S22+ 256GB unlocked activate later/never. . .$799 (128GB version also $799)
S22 256GB unlocked activate later/never. . .$699 (128GB version also $699)
Same elevated, in store trade in and purchase SAMSUNG elevated trade in value promo, up to $800, as before, applies (see below for those and links for terms etc.)
=================================================================

S22+ $749.99 is $250 off MSRP. . .S22+ unlocked 256GB is better at same $749.99

S22U 256GB is $400 off MSRP @ $899 & S22U 512GB $400 off @ $999 (courtesy of mtran1977)
AGAIN, THESE ARE ALL FOR UNLOCKED, ACTIVATE NOW phone purchases. . .
Meaning you buy an unloocked phone with "activate now" on an account with T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint.
You don't have to open an additional new line on account, just upgrade a current line, even if it has a financed phone on it. That's ok, as you are paying in full for this new phone, not financing another.

This pairs well with all of those here that bought Z Flip 3's recently, with or without added $50 watch deal (See Wiki for watch deal thread), that now wish to trade in that Z Flip 3 for $800 Gift card towards purchase of an unlocked S22 line phone at sales prices as listed above. . .

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 @$$.

Basically due to zflip/watch purchase last week, Im getting s22+ for 549 and a free watch...... That is exactly what I intended to do... So now I can keep my s22 ultra as a backup and camera only phone....
If anyone is successful let us know how you did it.
