This doesn't exist in Tennessee;
I just went to Murfreesboro in person and they didn't even bother to check this.
I called the BB in Brentwood Tennessee, and no luck there.

I don't know what the hell is going on or if our BestBuy in TN is just full of incompetency or what.

I traded S20FE for S21FE. Can we exchange for different phones later on? How does coupon work for exchange?
can you go back to the store and try it? and while you are there try to also return your new phone and see what happens....interested if they will give you a gift card in lieu of the coupon amount.

Noob question. Can I pre-order online and bring my old phone to the store to do trade in? AFAIK they inspect the phone then their system will show them the final TIV, so it's gonna be the boosted TIV right?
Reason I was asking is BB staffs are so dumb, I just wasted like an hour for simply asking how much it's gonna be buying X if I am trading in Y, they can't even give a simple answer and kept arguing with me. They really make trading in a phone more complicated than trading in a car lmao

Reporting back on my in store experience. Tried trading in a Flip 3 to get the S21 FE and $300 gift card but store rep said S 21 FE would be $699 if I went that route, I'd only get $100 gift card back. Instead I opted for the S22 256 gb, paid $49 difference and another $35 in sales tax (tax was based on post coupon price). The S22 wasn't in stock so they ordered it and processed and collected my trade in. Receipt shows $300 gift card and $500 coupon applied towards new purchase.

As others have also reported. That is not true.

This is from their website

"At time of purchase, customer's trade-in phone will be evaluated, and savings will be applied to purchase transaction. Upon date of fulfillment, customer must trade in same phone in same condition... If trade-in phone or condition changes, value of trade-in savings will no longer be valid and phone purchase is subject to cancellation. Fulfillment subject to phone availability. Offer is not valid if not redeemed during promotional period. Taxes/surcharges due at time of purchase. "


There is a clear distinction of when you do the pre order and when the order is fulfilled. You pay the amount and taxes and have the device evaluated when you order. You trade-in when the order is fulfilled. It's your luck if you get a rep who knows the difference between a pre order and in stock order.

In my case the Samsung rep even said that I can come back with device to trade-in when I get the email to pick up the phone. But the moment the sales reps said it's not correct he walked away from the counter.
it is to each his own interpretation, unfortunately. but usually BB would like to get your trade in on the spot.

Best buy has the way better trade in for the Note 20 Ultra against the Flip ($800 at BBY, $625 from Samsung for Flip). Unfortunately it seems their register doesn't allow them to wait on the trade in. I had 3 different reps trying to figure out how to get me the trade in and pre order, even calling their district manager. In the end, I paid the full $1000 for pre order and they'll do the trade in when the pre order comes in and refund the $800. Apparently this is a recent change since each successive rep went to go do a deferred trade in and the button they need for that is gone at least on this case. Annoying, but worth the $200 extra in my book.

I asked rep what happens if I return the new phone, they said they would reissue the $300 gift card but the $500 coupon (trade in value) would be lost.

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.
Did the same thing today. Thank you guys for sharing steps here. Walked out with $90 credit. Whole process took around 20min !!

So my store seems to have gotten the S21FE stock today.

I'm thinking I trade in my S21 for S21FE and hoping the reps do the process correctly so I end up with $300 (less taxes) on a Best Buy gift card. Because S21 is worth $800 and unlocked S21FE IS $500.

Then I can trade in the S21FE to Samsung for $700. Add a watch4 and can get the $200 credits at Samsung.com making it a watch + flip4 for $300 and taxes (and -12% urlhasbeenblocked cashback)

this totally works i just did it. oh also no taxes the "coupon" reduces the phone to 0 dollars you just get the gift card for $300 free and clear.


Bonus round:
If you have att or verizon you can get the flip3 for $300 also from best buyr trade that in to samsung for $900 and get the flip4 for tax+99 dollars.
