Deal Details
EDIT UPDATE 07/11: They've dropped the free memory upgrades for this 2 day Christmas in July Sale, but increased the discounts on all but the S22U 256GB and 512GB.
Now flat discounts. Of course these are for Unlocked Activate Now:

S22 now $200 off all variants
S22+ now $300 off all variants
S22U now $300 off all variants
=========================================================================


EDIT 06/27:

The unlocked S22 series phones have gone back up to MSRP, save two, the S22 Ultra 256GB/12GB RAM Unlocked version with activate TODAY with carrler, which is sweetened to $350 off, @ $949, and the unlocked activate now 512GB or the S22 Ultra is also $350 off @ $1049 if you can find any stock of the latter.

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. . .

===========================================================================
Similar to this past week's up to $400 off Galaxy S22 series phones; now it's down to up to $300 off. . .but now NO CARRIER ACCOUNT or ACTIVATION required!!!

If you are on MVNO, or otherwise a carrier with high fees or required new line activation, etc. and lamented last week. . .this is your chance. I doubt this will be live for long, so giddy up when your local store opens tomorrow morning!! Take your trade into store, purchase new phone with no strings attached, and leave store. a truly cash and carry deal that is rare to be cheaper than activation/account required deals!!

Example prices:

S22 Ultra 256 GB unlocked and activate later/never. . .$999 (same price for 128GB version of same)
S22 Plus 256GB unlocked and activate later/never. . .$799 (same price for 128GB version of same)
S22 base 256GB unlocked and activate later/never. . .$699 (same price for 128GB version of same)

Good for T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, or any MVNO etc. as no carrier requirement.
=============================================================================================================================


Also, For IN STORE Trade in & IN STORE Purchase only:
Same up to $800 Samsung Trade in Value promo applies, for in store trade in and purchase only. As of Friday it is not just full Gift Card, but now a Coupon + Smaller Gift card to both be applied in store towards new unlocked Samsung S or Z series phones. . .Trade in values and terms listed at link below:

Yeah for me, with active TMO account and eligible line and trade in hand, it was $100 cheaper this past week. This updated deal is more for those with carrier plans that would need to add a line, or face steep activation fees, are running on an MVNO, or are still waiting for say a used Z flip series to arrive to use for elevated trade, etc. etc. This deal literally anybody can partake of at the same price, no commitment, no fees, same Samsung trade in deal if trade/purchase bothe done in store. . .just hurry, don't think discounted no activation vs. activation will last long. . .

It says $800 trade in for the S21 ultra 5G, but I'm getting only $485 in trade in value.

If you click the link in the OP (which you didn't for some reason, even though only 3 posts above your comment), you will see that the S21U gets $800 TIV, and that the trade in (and order) must be done in store to get $800 vs. $485. Online orders don't get the elevated trade in values.

That being said, your trade in phone is one that I would look to trade in at Samsung directly. Last I checked they were offering $1k trade for S21U towards an upgrade to S22U (possibly even with screen damage, possibly still $125 discount to boot as well) and possibly still $200 hunnnnn CB. . .might want to investigate that. T

Basically your phone is too new/primo to get an advantage from the Samsung TIV bonus promo @ BB.

The s21 fe doesn't have the same discount. It was down to $499 after activation last week, stuck at 699 now. The s22 was down to 649 after activation, 699 now.

Can this work if you have T-Mobile? If you have a phone with $450 or less in-store trade-in value, get a T-Mobile activated Z Flip3 for $500 + tax - trade-in value. Then, you take the Z Flip3 to another BestBuy store to trade that in for $800 trade-in value.

Edit: nevermind, the above won't work. The enhanced trade-in only applies to unlocked devices, not carrier locked devices
