Just came back from BestBuy and asked for S21 FE, trading in a Note 20. It doesn't look like you can combine this promo and carrier activation, at least according to the rep that helped me. In other words, price is $699 and not the $499. YMMV
Spring for the S22 for an extra $100
I was able to get two for $399 with T-Mobile activation

Thanks all for great ideas to make use of this promo the best way possible..
I have a question if the following will work or not.
If I trade in the S20FE 5G for $600 and activate and get a S21 for $500 + $100 GC and later upgrade the S21 to S22 with $800 trade in value and only paying taxes? Does BB limit no of trade in we can do? If this possible, do we end up with S22 from S20 FE and a $100 GC? What am I missing?

Also, if I have an existing post paid T-mobile, Activate now means only putting my sim and turning on the phone and nothing has to be done to activate my working number right?

You can't trade in the s21FE for the s22 because s21FE isn't in the trade in list

S21 unlocked is not available for $500. Even if it were it does not qualify for the trade in promo as that only applies to the Z 4s, S22 series, and S21 FE.

You must be confusing it with the S21 FE as that is currently $500 with activation but not eligible to be traded in a 2nd time.

Still no. Because the S21 5G isn't one of the phones that you can trade for. It's the FE that can be traded _for_, but it can't be traded _in_.

The S21 and the S21 FE are two different phones.

Horrible phone trade in experience. I wanted to trade in a Samsung S20 FE for Samsung S21 FE using the $600 promo credit THEY ADVERTISE IN A LARGE POSTER IN THE SAMSUNG SECTION of the store. I went mobile section and spoke with a rep. He said the phone trade-in is only worth $145. Told him about the ad in Samsung section and then show a picture of the ad on my phone. NOPE, it must be on the bestbuy.com trade-in website. Show him bestbuy.com trade in website on my phone and NOPE, I have outdated web browser cache. He went on his POS system and check and IT WAS THERE on the Trade-in promo page. Now it took another 60 mins to complete the process. He asked for my ID more than 5 times(to start over). Seems like he didn't know what he was doing. When he finally got everything to work. I OWE $100ish+tax.... The S21 FE phone is currently $499.99. Trade in value for my phone is $600 credit. Why do I owe money.... THEN BACK TO THE BESTBUY.COM website on the POS system. I told him he needed to add activate the phone and he keep saying phone is unlock; no activation needed. After back and forth. I HAD to use my T-mobile acct to activate(I wanted to use a prepaid activation which my sister did last Friday with no issue. That rep was great by the way and knew what she was doing when upgrading her phone from S20FE to S22+). He then activated it on the WRONG T-Mobile number but finally got the phone to ring up as $0 and I have a $100 bestbuy card... which I wanted to use to buy a prepaid activation during the trade-in..... Guy was completely unprofessional and act like he knew it all when it was wrong every time.

If it wasn't for this great promo; I would not shop at bestbuy. I used to be a Elite / Elite Plus member every year but too many bad experience made me take my shopping online where I don't have to deal with idiots.

BTW: S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra are back to regular price. S21 FE is $500 now.
Wait, your sister was able to get the activate now price on a phone using a Pre-paid T-Mobile line? How did she do that and which plan did she activate? I thought these activate now promos are for post paid lines only.

S22 is now $100 off MSRP and S22 Ultra $150 off on Activate Later. Ultra discount is actually better than the $100 off a few days ago before that promotion ended.

No discount at all on the S22+ now. So it's obvious what people have been buying with their trade-ins.
