The color I want isn't available and I would have to order it to the store for pick up. Am I able to "cancel" the order once it arrives for pick up and then purchase again to do the trade in deal in stores?

I'm on old T-Mobile simple choice plan, which I think has less options than magenta plan, and was able to do activate today (upgrade device).

Is there a way to make money on this?

It's not as good as buying the z flip3 for $550 with watch and trading it in for 800, but anything close to that possible with this?

I tried to trade my Z Flip3 5g for a Z Fold4 today at my local Best Buy. Was looking to get the Unlocked version for $1399 with activation today on T-mobile. Wanted the $800 credit as stated in the promo to have a walk out price of $599. The mobile department manager told me that wasn't how it worked and that I could only have the $800 credit off the full $1799 purchase price. I knew he was wrong but couldn't get anywhere when trying to explain it to him and he didn't know how to process that promotion. He kept trying to sell me on the T-Mobile variant with bill credits for 36 months. I don't do credit on consumer devices as cash is king. Any tips on what to say or how to get him tto understand how to honor the $800 promo credit with the t-mobile activate today price of $1399. I don't really want to call corporate while standing there with him on the phone but I guess I will if I have to.


Thanks Yugioh2. I figured I was in the right. I did show him that page multiple times and he insisted it would only be good for an activate later purchase and not a reduced activate today purchase.

Are there any Best Buy employees out there that may have some advice? Is there a special way he has to process it on his end?
Process the trade-in first independently, not as part of a phone purchase. Apply "Samsung" promo code. A coupon will print and a GC will be issued. This is done the same way regardless of whether you end up buying an activate now or activate later device. Then apply the coupon on checkout of the activate now purchase. It will work.

You can even start by pretending you'll buy activate later but when it comes to the purchase, change your mind to activate now. If the manager refuses, walk out with the printed coupon and GC and come back later to buy an activate now device using them in a different visit.

Not a BB employee but this has been the experience of multiple people in this thread.

One other thing, make sure when youre going to buy a phone, they are ringing up an unlocked phone, not the carrier version of the provider you're activating on. You don't want a carrier locked version and the coupon won't even scan

You guys should consider grabbing an Upsie Warranty for your new devices. Samsung devices are super expensive to repair screenwise. Upsie has 20% off warranties this weekend with code LABOR, which is the largest discount they have. For the S22 Ultra, it would be $136 for a 2-year warranty with $49 deductible for repair.

I've used Upsie for years and have been very happy with it. Have multiple repairs with no issues.

How does it work if you do a new activation? Can you cancel within the first month and so you only pay one month service? Is the phone network locked to that carrier?
Wondering the same thing on add a line and cancel. It's an unlocked phone so it shouldn't be carrier locked

Thank you Ukdragon37. This process totally makes sense to me. Hopefully the BB mobile manager will understand this process as well. On my way to getting a Z Fold 4 today, hopefully. :-)

I trade flip3 from at&t $200 deal (cancelled right away with at&T.. hopefully no charge back as confirmed by at&t) and wife's note 20 and got first s22+ on tmobile new line activation for $649.00 and rest on gift card and added new line to get ultra for $799.99.. so walked out with two phones and $110 balance on BB gift card. T-mobile rep said no activation fee as it was suppose to be paid on the spot and not bill later... Might be wrong info. not sure about. Rep didnt know how to do this deal at first but later figured out. do trade in first and print $500 promo and then do the purchase. Over all always liked Samsung promo.. Starting from Note 10 from Microsoft Trade in deal to google fi trade in for note 20 and now to 22 ultra (with all the deals probably paid not more than $100 total for all this for phone alone). Awaiting trade in offers for 23 ultra trade in deals... Thank you Samsung.. Also any one what t-mobile will charge for canceling the line or port out ( pro rated or full month??)

Am I right that the deal ends on 9/8? Or the banner on top of the page is for Flip/Fold deals only?
