I wonder why Samsung and Best Buy don't accept Pixel 6 and 6 Pro for trade-in?

did they give you the difference as a gift card if the trade in value is above the sale price?
I traded in a Galaxy S21 5g for a S22+. They gave me $800 for my S21.. The S22+ was $750. I added a cheap case, activated it there on the spot and walked out with a gift card with a $3.95 balance. nod

So I can trade in my "it was free when I traded in my Free S20 FE for an S21" for an S22 and get MONEY BACK!?!?!?!

What a world we live in...

And now it's worth more to trade THAT in to get $500 off an iPhone 14... 🤦 ♂️

So I can get a Z-Flip for free ($799 activate today) or an S22 with $200 gift card back ($599 activate today)??

To get the activation price, do I need to activate the phone and sign up for service? What does the activation look like?

it's a $500 coupon and the rest is issued as a gc. if you were to buy a phone under $500 you would not get the coupon balance back, only the full gc.

Went in store today to pickup/exchange my preorder flip4 that I had the trade in $300GC + $500 sammy coupon attached. . .to the lower priced flip4 128GB with activate now which is $849 plus $100 BB GC for total tech.

This is the best rep I've dealt with, for years actually. But They could not get both the coupon and GC to transfer to the new phone. Even though I had not returned the original purchase, just trying to do an exchange at this point.

Any suggestions from anybody that's done something similar? I've heard in this thread make sure you don't cancel original order or coupon is lost. Someone else somewhere said they could retrieve the original coupon (and generate a new GC). . .etc etc. But I haven't had luck with the rep, the director, or their tech bridge getting that done

EDIT: I traded in my phone a few weeks ago for preorder, so I can't just have them go in the backroom and grab my trade in and re-do the whole order trade in and all, like someone mentioned a couple pages back.

EDIT2: If everything above had worked out I would have rather walked out instead with a S21 FE 128 GB activate later as it's 449 for TT members, but the rep couldn't see the $449 total tech price on it, showed $599. Which is weird, because he could see the TT pricing on other phones. . .

Friends, please take pictures and videos of your trade in , today my trade in was rejected and they charged 1082.50 on my cc. I have opened a dispute with Paypal and also a complaint with BBB. Luckily I took the photo of the phone while erasing and then it showing the homescreen. Hopefully I will get my money back, the link they send to request my old phone is also not working . If I dont get my money back , I would also lose my traded fold 3 .

Did you do the Samsung deal through the Samsung website for the flip 4/fold4? That's a different deal altogether.

To follow up I went and did this yesterday and it went smoothly - only hiccup is the bestbuy system showed a lower trade-in value initially and they had to manually override it but otherwise all smooth, got the ZF4 -300 for the activation, -900 for the ZF3 trade in and 100 GC back for being a totaltech member and they let me open the new one and use smart switch and transfer everything over.
With some of the horror stories I have heard about the samsung trade-in, doing it in person at bestbuy seems like a no brainer.

I ended up trading in my S21 for a new S22 and have a BB GC with $0.01. They said the $800 was for unlocked only, so I didn't get the $200 activation discount, and didn't feel like staying any longer than necessary since it wasn't costing me anything anyway.

Now I can trade this unopened S22 to T-Mo and get a 13 Mini for $100 if I so choose.

Question, after you trade in the phone and it's wiped. Are you responsible for anything else Best Buy does to the phone after. Like saying it wasn't factory reset or anything?

went to my local best buy, and was told that this was an issue in their system and it is not allowed to do anymore, they didn't make any effort to even try anything.
