two days ago I traded in my s20fe for the s21fe and walked away with a $100 gift card! Great deal.. The store I went to (in sac, CA) wasn't even aware that the sale included the s21FE. They had signs up and everything, and when I told the general manager of the store that I wanted to do that deal, he was like "oh, i think it's only for the z series," but then he checked and was like "oh, I guess it does include the s21FE." Apparently I was the first customer to do the trade-in deal in the 10+ days the promotion has been going on.

The bonus credit is still live as of Aug. 26. The sales associates were knowledgeable and it would have been a 20 minute trip without the lines. It took about 40 minutes waiting behind the Z Flip/Fold 4 customers there for release day.

I traded in my Z Flip 3 5G, AT&T, and got $800 credit toward a Galaxy S22 Ultra (I didn't like the Flip's folding screen so was not interested in the new foldables). Others may have reported this, but $300 was in the form of a gift card and the $500 "bonus" was a coupon that they printed at the point-of-sale and scanned.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread! I never thought I'd have an S22 Ultra Peace

Well, I got a bunch of dumb looks when I came in.

They said that the S20FE doesn't even show up in their trade-in list.

The guy called theamager over and she said it was an AT&T exclusive offer and needed to be done online.

When I told her that the site says in-store only and it was a SAMSUNG promotion, she gave me another dumb look and said she couldn't do it.

I am happy with the S20FE but was hoping for a S21FE and $100 gift card.

So wierd. One store had a print out of all their promotions, and the employee that helped me out with 2 phones last weekend pulled it out because she hadn't done the promo before.

Another store I went to had a huge poster by the front door with all the trade in values for the promo.

Try another store, or read the thread and get some pointers. they need to do it as a trade in (not upgrade) for an unlocked version of whatever phone you want thats part of the promo.

I think they looked at the AT&T trade-in list and not the unlocked list.

The best buy is 45 min away and I only went because I was over here for a doctor's appointment.

The next closest one is 1.5 hours in the opposite direction from my house. Not worth the aggravation for an extra year of updates. After all I have been using a LG V35 Thin-Q that hasn't had an update in over three years.

Not only that, but the AT&T prepaid plan I'm on doesn't include 5G access.

Even it was not showing s20fe in the trade in list for me as well but the rep did a search and was able to select and add the promo to that. So if its not showing in the list then they have to search for it.

They asked me for my phone number, but I told them that its a trade in for an unlocked phone, not a carrier upgrade/new line. If they ask what phone number you want to do the trade on, they are doing it wrong. They took my number to pull up my best buy acct info and that was it.

That's not my experience though. I had to give them my carrier info (for device upgrade), otherwise the price would be higher (depends on the sale they have that day).

I did the offer 3x on Sunday when the price for the 128gb S22+ was $799. I traded 3 S21's and paid around $20 in tax for 2 S22+ 128gb and $70ish for an S22+ 256gb.

The price of the phones went up on Monday. The only one that is discounted right now is the regular S22 128gb. It's $699 right now.

S21 FE is "too new" to trade-in for this promo. All the phones they accept are the previous generation or older. S21 FE is one of the phones you can buy with the deal, but not sell.

I bought this [ebay.com]. Traded for the $800 tier successfully.

Turned out to be in great condition. "Missing sim tray" was actually missing S-Pen and "severe screen burn" was hardly noticeable. Not sure if clean ESN matters for trade-in, or something like finance lock would be acceptable. Network lock is fine.

That seller has a lot of phones to sell. You might be able to find something there.
