I have a S20 FE, the trade in value shows $600, and their S21 FE is only $499. Is this a no brainer? what's the catch? do they give me a giftcard for the difference in price?
Yep, no brainer. I walked in, verified that I had T-mobile to get the $499 price. I traded in the S20 FE and received a $200 best buy gift card and a $400 coupon. The coupon and gift card were immediately applied to the S21 FE. The S21 FE's base price became $100, and I only paid tax on that amount, so I left with $90 on a best buy card and an updated phone, which I intend to use to trade-in for the Samsung Z Flip 4.

My customer service rep had trouble figuring out how to do the trade-in, but he seemed new. There was a Samsung employee who were familiar with the best buy system and she did almost all the work.

This is definitely not my experience. I'm guessing my rep didn't know how to code it properly or something. I hate to ask this but do you have a copy of your receipt or something you can share with important info blocked out?

what if the TIV is greater than the new phone's sales price? does BBY give you the gift card for the difference?

Successfully traded-in S21 for S21 FE. S21 was worth $500 Samsung coupon + $300 BB GC = $800. Unlocked S21 FE costs $499 + tax, which the $500 Samsung coupon took care of, so walked out with the new S21 FE and $300 BB GC.

Tips
1) For this promotion, BB and Samsung allows you to purchase S21 FE, S22 series, etc. even if your trade-in is worth more than the new phone. You get the difference in the BB GC.
2) That said, since this is in person only, your store or the employee may required your purchase be more than your trade-in. It's easier to go to a new store or revisit on a different day than argue with the employee.
3) For my store, the employee teaching the other employee this promotion flat out said just give the difference via BB GC. You lose any difference from the $500 Samsung coupon, which is $1 if you buy the S21 FE.
4) The process as I experienced was:
a) Log in to customers BB / carrier account
b) Trade-in the phone first, entering promotion code "SAMSUNG" on the last page
c) Their system will fill up a BB GC with the regular trade-in amount + print out a $500 Samsung coupon which totals the promotional trade-in amount. The trade-in receipt states "Promotion: Unlocked Samsung Flagship - $800 Tier ($300 GC + $500 Coupon)
d) Check out the new phone, activated to your new carrier (*activated meaning checking out and giving you a sim card, phone isn't activated nor opened)
e) Scan the $500 Samsung coupon as the first payment, scan the BB gift card for any remaining charges.

Thanks op, was able to slightly downgrade my phone while getting paid by BB.

I'm on a Tmobile One+ family plan and have no desire to get off of it. Does this activation require me to activate the phone on a new line or update my existing plan with a new sim card?

No new line, no plan change, this is a phone upgrade on your existing line. BB has to process an activation on T-mobile or you won't get the $200 discount on the new unlocked S21 FE ($699 price - $200 activation discount). That said, sometimes they just scan the sim card without activating it, so you can continue using your old sim; sometimes they activate the new sim card so you need to swap out the old sim. Depends on the agent, but the big thing is they don't change your plan.

What account info do they need. SSN? Photo ID of primary user? Is this somehow linking a phone to my plan. My plan is and has always been solely SIM cards.

I actually just came back from Best Buy, same experience as yours, traded S20 FE for a S21 FEn and walked out with a GC with $9x.xx balance on it.

Phone number to send you confirmation text, phone number to upgrade phone (could be the same), last 4 SSN, photo id for the trade-in.

Are people getting charged the unlocked price or the carrier price? It's a $100 difference on the S22+.
