My son went to a BB yesterday and they downright refused to sell him a phone unless he activated it in store. They pointed to the following in the T & C. Any truth in what they are saying? any strategies to get this deal?
"Savings are deducted off the full total price of the phone and are reflected in either instant savings or in vendor bill credits, both of which will result in reduced monthly payments for the term of the agreement on your carrier account. Bill credits will be applied within 1–2 billing cycles and will end when the balance is paid, or the line is terminated or transferred. Savings may not be combinable with other credits, discounts and offers. Maximum savings listed may not be available for all phones and/or from all carriers. Carriers, devices and coverage (including 5G) not available in all markets. Requires credit approval, wireless service plan, qualifying phone and an installment billing agreement for the carrier's required term. $0 down for well-qualified customers. For all others, down payment and other restrictions may apply. Monthly phone payments for term (20–36 months subject to carrier) at retail price. 0% APR. Sales tax (on total price) may be due at purchase. If you cancel wireless service, remaining balance on phone becomes due. Restocking fee and other charges may apply. Number of financed devices per account limitations may apply. Subject to carrier terms and conditions. Terms subject to change. Excludes prepaid and unlocked phones. Sprint requires down payment for well-qualified customers on select phones and eligible upgrade. No dealers. No rainchecks. Phone and rate plan sold separately. A return charge will apply on returned phones. See a Blue Shirt for details."

Top and bottom of web page says "UNLOCKED". Even URL says "Unlocked"
When I originally purchased s21 it was locked to T-Mobile network (since had monthly payments). Then after finishing the monthly payments, it was unlocked so it can be used on any carrier. I don't know if this unlock is different then the unlock in the small print?

Hopefully someone can help me out with this, as I've figured out most of the puzzle, just missing the last part. I bought the Flip3 a few days ago using the $199 AT&T BB deal, paid in full. I activated it with AT&T as a new customer (maybe I shouldn't have done so). Now I want to trade it in using this deal for the Flip4, paying the $200 difference.

From what I gather from the comments, it doesn't matter that the phone is still carrier locked, for trade in purposes. What do I do with the AT&T account though? I was never planning on staying with AT&T. As soon as I trade in the Flip3, can I cancel the AT&T service? Or do I have to wait some amount of time to not get hit with a penalty of some sort?

Activation is a requirement to get a $200 or whatever carrier discount. If you have an existing account, you just say you're upgrading a line and paying in full today. Please note that activation doesn't mean, they have to open the phone. Depending on the sales rep, they might activate/enter the new SIM card, so if that happens be sure to use the new SIM card.

I used this promotion to get a free upgrade from my S21 to S22+

S21 (unlocked) = $800
S22+ (unlocked) = $799

So, I just had to pay taxes of $18 for my free upgrade. Thanks OP Applause

Quote from needgeech :
When you finish the trade in process in store, they will generate a $300 or so gift card, and the $500 or so coupon gets printed out same time your trade in receipt does. I say this because I have received $200+$600 and $300+$500 (GC/Coupon). Cheaper trades get a higher % of it in Samsung bonus coupon. I think the Flip 3 was $235 or so market trade. . .turned into $235 +$65 bonus = $300 GC + the $500 coupon.

They take that coupon and apply it first towards new unlocked Sammy phone purchase, then the gift card, and then you make up for any remaining balance.
So S22 now is 699....How much of a trade in would I get for trading in S20FE?

Yes 22 plus
What would the price be? $799 for the 22+ minus $600 for s20fe trade plus taxes?

Yep, that's exactly what I did.
Just have to pay taxes on S22 plus after Samsung coupon
ie. $799 - $400 samsung tradein coupon = $400 + tax - $200 BBY gift card from trade-in.

Yeah that sounds correct. They don't tax you on the full cost of the phone too.

I really want to get S22 size phone by trading in S21 but they decreased the battery size so not worth it.
Which is why I got the s22 plus. So far so good!

Went into BB yesterday and they were having trouble with the trade in amount. Computer only pulled up 150 on a note 10. Manager came over and tried a bunch of things, it popped up to 200 and we almost gave up. He said just process it and see what happens.

So as they process it, a screen pops up and that's when it showed the 200 dollar + 400 dollar 1 time use coupon. I believe he said the promo code was "samsung"

Hope this helps others as before the manager, multiple associates could not figure out the deal.

I can confirm, tax was not based on selling price but rather discounted price after coupon.
I just traded in my S20FE and 2 S21s (wife/son). Got 3 trade in coupons and single gift card. Upgraded to S22 plus & S21s in store.
