Quote from YujiKaido :
I just got back from my local best buy today. I walked out a happy man with the best deal I have gotten on trade ins so far. I traded in my dad's S20fe and my Note 20 5G. Got $1400 dollar in trade in value and used it to buy my dad a S21 FE and pre-order the z flip 4. I walked out the door with only paying around $50.

I got the S21 FE for $499 with T-Mobile. They did try to give me the unlocked one for $699 but said I had tmobile and I would put in my old sim card. I didn't need to give them my account details. I only gave them my best buy account info. I was pretty amazed as I thought I would have to pay at least $200 with taxes in the end. I think had a pretty great rep at best buy.

What made it even better was I got the $300 Verizon z flip 3 deal last week and just used it as a trade in on Samsung.com to get another z flip 4 pre-order then $200 Samsung credit with promo codes. I had to pay $174 for that one though. I will probably end up selling one of them unless another person in my family wants it. Slickdeals has turned into a very good hobby for me!
You lucked out, every time I do a carrier version they always use carrier to authenticate account, do you recall the exact steps they took to do this, and also do you have VZ service that you got the VZ $300 flip last week?

You told them people have been doing this on SD??? You should never mention SD when you do these deals in store!!! You just have to come prepared or go to another store if they don't know how to do the deal. When you mention SD, sooner or later we won't see deals like this. SMH!!!
I didn't know that EEK!, I'll be more discreet from now on.Smilie

it's like giving them a peek at their loopholes. a few months back when you do the trade in deal they give you the full $800 gift card when you return their unlocked phone. a nice moneymaker. but now they don't anymore. they will close the loopholes.

Tried to trade-in my S21 at the Oakland/Emeryville CA location and they (2 salespeople) were clueless how to process the promotion, and probably unwilling. They insisted the "system" only offered $240 or $300, and no one gets the full $800 amount.

I didn't bother pushing them - they were already spewing so much BS - and drove out to the rich neighborhood BB at Pleasant Hill/Walnut Creek instead. They handled it smooth like butter.

The S21 FE requires activation for the $499 price (instead of $699), so I opted for the S22 at $799. I would have paid extra for 256 GB, but they didn't have stock and I didn't want to wait. Paid $27.74 out of pocket: $799 - $500 coupon = $299.99 plus sales tax minus the $300 gift card.

The S21 FE seems like a better deal, but I didn't want to deal with activating and cancelling.

BB giving $800 for S21 instead of $575 at Samsung

S21 FE price was pretty slick, especially if you do a second trade-in at Samsung; But dead now

Less risk doing the trade-in in person

Samsung deal was only good for the watch and buds

California taxes on the full cart amount - which was easily over $100 for the Flip + Watch + Buds. So it depends where you live

Wanted to trade in my Z Flip3 to preorder the Z Flip4. Went to two Best Buy stores. They both told me my only options were pay for the entire cost of the Z Flip 4 ($1k) then return it on launch day and do the trade in OR trade in my Fip 3 now. I chose the latter as it was tax free weekend here in MA and I have a backup phone I could use for two weeks. Yes, I could have gotten a better deal with Samsung but I have a small scratch on my Z Flip3's hinge and I hear horror stories of Samsung denying full trade in value for minor cosmetic things.

I went to the Pleasant Hill BB too and they refused to process the trade yesterday unless it was for $699 for the S21 FE. Guess it depends on the rep. I went to the Antioch BB and the rep handled it without issue.

Any way to get the updated trade credit + get the activation discount for the T-Mobile variant?

Or maybe updated trade credit + open box unlocked?
