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

It's actually pretty simple. Do the trade in offer and buy the s22u activate today on T-Mobile or AT&T (those two are $100 less than the others). The phone is unlocked so when you get home just put in the mint sim and call the carrier you activated on you changed your mind and want to cancel the line. Persuade them to waive as much of the charges as possible.
you can activate on existing line as well dont you?

I thought the deal actually is for unlocked, AND "activate now". I know some here have been able to get it for carrier devices, and/or activate later, but I don't think that's how it's supposed happen.
It is for an unlocked flagship Samsung (current Flip, Fold, S22 series, and S21 Fe or whatever it is). You can do activate now or activate later, whichever you want, or whichever is cheaper (which is what most Slickdealers go for). I've done this 3 times now. First one was an activate later S22 Plus. Just left the store with it. Second was a activate now S22 Ultra. Third was an S22 Plus 256 gb. I just went with the best price options and they've gone back and forth, up and down, among the different phones.

Be aware the last the activate now options may also incur a BS activation fee from the carrier later on. I've got Verizon and you used to be able to get around it by re-using your current SIM but it seems they caught on because the process has changed to them now scanning a new SIM at the time of activation, which triggers the fee.

With my second phone the activation now was an upgrade on my wife's line, who was not with me. Her phone stopped working because the process activated a new SIM and we had to place that SIM into her current / old phone to get her back up and running again. On my last trip I pointed out how inconvenient that was and asked if they could not scan a new SIM and the guy said 'sure' and said there was an option to continue using the same SIM. There was no service interruption with that and it remains to be seen if that could skirt around the activation fee.

Also, I left the store every time with the new phone sealed in the box. Make sure you specify that if you're choosing the activate now option as some employees don't know how or didn't know that you could do that and will open the phone during the sale.

You can but when activating on T-Mobile and AT&T, some options are only cheaper by $100 if you do new line or new account. If you add the activate today offer to cart on BB website it explains in the footnotes when selecting carrier.

Anyone been able to apply Sammy Coupon and GC used for Flip4 preorder trade in towards purchase of another phone (i.e. S21 FE or S22U)??

I still haven't picked up my flip4 preorder that I traded in flip for $300 GC + $500 Sammy coupon for. . .and wanting to switch my TIV credits towards purchase of S21FE etc. instead. Store MGR. is willing but unable to figure it out. . .he's even called me the last two days after checking with his tech geeks for possibilities. So I know he's on board if I can give him the solution.

Thanks if you can help! I've seen some people trying to revive cancelled orders before refund status (so as to basically exchange for same model phone) mentioned here, but not so much in regards to switching phone model purchased in the end. . .

Quote from nokiafanboi :
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.

Based on what I read previously in this thread and my chat with the store manager, the coupon cannot be reactivated and applied to a different purchase (SKU). There may be options they could override or give credit manually. Their system is not allowing them to reactivate the coupon and it came from Samsung. Some people were able to get their trade-in phone identified physically and reprocessed.

Does it matter which carrier the trade-in device is from? Will US Cellular Galaxy s21 5g get $800 trade in value?

If I activate a new line on TMobile to get the extra $100 off, how long do I need to keep it active?

I don't think it matters. They just check the IMEI number and the condition in general. The storage doesn't matter either.

Surely if you upgrade for free to S22 now that would get you a higher trade-in value on the S23 than your S21?
Decided to go for it. Took them a bit to figure out how to do it--the key was that they needed to leap-of-faith it by doing the trade in first, which generates the coupon.

Went to Best Buy yesterday to see about cracked S8 and of course it didn't get the $200 trade-in. Ended up buying an open box S21 FE 128GB for about $500. Had to meet someone yesterday so left the trade in of the S21 FE to today.
Went back to Tysons, VA Best Buy and the blue shirt didn't seem to know much about the deal. Manager came in and he told me the S21 FE 128GB would be $200 even though it should be $800. He told me I would have to go through Samsung.com. I mentioned to him the deal states in store only...

Manager said the sale on the new S22s would be until Sunday (9/18) so hopefully that's right and I can snatch a Note 20 5G 128GB on ebay for $325 and used to that for $800 trade in credit at another Best Buy

S21 FE isn't one of the listed trade in phones, you can buy a s21 FE on the trade in deal...

Thanks, I kind of noticed that when I was there but thought some people mentioned trading in s21 fe. They were probably saying that's the phone they were purchasing.
Hopefully we have another week so I can replace my S9 which no longer tolerates getting wet.
