Quote from Phenomesaurus :
I've seen the S21 average around mid to upper $300s, but occasionally down to around $250. I stopped looking at Note 20s because there seemed to be less of those going for lower prices, but it doesn't hurt to look. Flip 3s are around $350 and up as their values increased recently (likely due to the F4 trade in deals) and have yet to settle down.

eBay/other selling sites really need to have some way of hiding items and sellers. When you're looking to buy something it's too easy to come across things you just don't want. For things like this there's always tons of "for parts only", cracked, blacklisted items and then you keep seeing them again. You could always get the really lower priced items that are more blemished but then you're skirting the line on acceptable trade in or not. Bring in a questionable item and if it gets rejected you're left holding a donor phone you didn't really want. I felt better spending a little more for a phone I was sure they'd take.





I thought I wwas following the thread closely but also don't remember seeing the S22 Ultra drop to $800, in general. Unless I missed something it may have been what you pointed out - the slightly lower price for AT&T or T-Mobile activate now price.

Maybe it was this?:




Juku: what does it say on your receipt? Is it just the phone? When I bought my VZW activated S22 Ultra it showed the phone and SIM card on the receipt. However, when I bought my S22+ with no activation, it just had the phone and a spot that says "UNACTIVATED". If your receipt says UNACTIVATED I think you may have gotten the phone in a small window of time that it actually did drop in price.
This is how my receipt look like.

What number did you call? I tried price matching my Flip4 order via their chat and got turned down a couple times already.
I just called customer service, tell them the price you paid before trade in, in my case $999.99 for z flip 4 before the $500 coupon, and they were able to adjust.

Quote from TopGun2000 :
They asked for the last 4 digits of the account holder's SSN.
Right.
But that is only part of what I asked/stated.
Costco also "requires" (so they think) an SSN.
With all the data breaches compromises, a pin is an option (I Insisted on it and they happily obliged)

TMO does NOT require SSN can just use a PIN.

https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/..._how_do_i/
Costco will blah blah blah SSN. They then call the TMO and tell them 1111 default code.
Supposedly BBY is the same.

The default for the SSN bypass supposedly 1111 at worst buy?

Thanks OP.

Did the trade-in last Sat for S22 Ultra 128GB, came out to $39x.xx after trading in my S20+ including $35 T-Mobile Activation Fees. Not sure if there was any way to avoid Activation charges.

It was coming out cheaper going with T-Mobile Activation rather than going the Unlocked route.

So far happy with S22 Ultra.
You added a.new line to your plan, right?

For anyone doing this, STRONGLY recommend getting phone in hand if you're doing this as an activate new line, not ship to store or ship to home. Even if that means not getting the color you want (with a case, phone color doesn't really matter). I had an order get cancelled for no good reason the next day and it was a huge mess trying get it fixed.
Same thing happened to me and manager is saying that he cannot issue the $500 coupon again. He can give only $300 back in gift card for s21. I am at loss now. What to do?

That's messed up. I'd go back and see if you can talk to someone else. Or complain to them on social media. They at a minimum need to give you your tradein phone back

I talked to manager he placed one more order by giving $500 as store credit. The second order got cancelled too after 2 hours of placing. Now he is saying that he cannot do anything and something wrong with my carrier account. Not sure ! Will go back and try again tomorrow

i had hoped to wait for an "activate later" deal but after the chatter in here was afraid i'd lose my chance at a deal at all, so picked up an s22+ today. thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences. i got there about 1 hr before closing and it took maybe 20 min for the rep to get it done. he knew exactly what he was doing and there were no issues at all. i traded a note 20 5g i'd picked up on ebay for the trade and walked away with a $33 gc.

Interesting. For my VZW upgrade, I did not have that '100.00- T-MOB MB PHN 2", also, the 2nd paragraph says "6332650 VZW UL SAMS 0.00 VZW UL SAMSUNG UPGRADE FP BTY", and yours seems to indicate it was keyed in as a "new line", that explained the extra $100 off. However you mentioned that the BBY guy did not access your account info at all, and it did not sound like you went through the new line start up process (picking number etc) either.

based on this, I can only say that bestbuy system has a way to bypass activation and still give you activate now price.

Google Fi activate now price is now $900. Do you guys think I can use this option and port out 1 day later to avoid paying the monthly bill? I don't have account with other carriers.

I had the same problem. Manager cannot do anything as the coupon code was given by Samsung. Luckily the manager called another store and asked her friend to bring a device to this store with the same SKU (i.e., exact model and no exchanges or different color or size) and processed it as an exchange. Go to a store that has in stock. Otherwise, these activation devices with shipping are getting canceled for some reason.
They have to do this before processing as a refund. Once a refund is processed, nothing can be done for the coupon.
