No free memory upgrade to 512gb. With regular offer at 512GB free upgrade, it is $427 with education discount comparing to $449, hence not good deal for 512GB version. But good deal for 256GB.

The biggest upgrade is the 8gen2. I own both s22u and s23u, the s22u is constantly a hot potato while s23u is at most warm under heavy load. Other than the processor, the battery life is a huge improvement. At $200 difference probally it makes sense to upgrade but not over that.

They ship you your new phone with packing material. Some soft sheeting and a lot of cardboard that is long, shredded like a pair of 80s jeans, rolled up on the new phone. A fedex return label will be inside. You will need to tape it to the outside of the box, on top of the original label (or remove the original label and apply new one).


Get your new phone up and running first. Look for any issues for a week.


Do a factory reset on your old phone. take a picture of the screen with your new phone to show no issues of front and back while on. In case Samsung employee tries to pull a fast one on you.


Turn your old phone off and wrap it up. You can dop off at any Fedex drop off location or find a Dollar General store. They will scan the package and send a receipt notice via text to your phone. Samsung will receive a couple business days later and let you know they receive. Few more days until they get a chance to review and ok the trade-in.

I'm assuming the checkout page is ONLY looking at the Black variant price and subtracts the $750 trade-in.

You can modify the POST API payload to change the product id so that it pick up the cream one. Then correct price $276 is shown in the cart. Do it at your own risk. No more details from me so don't ask, it should be easy to figure it out as long as you have some programming experiences Smilie You may get more hint when going to regular page without $200 discount and compare the API request there.

Quote from RavenDeal :
Concerning the 512gb variant. It seems that Samsung's checkout IGNORES the markdown price for Lime, Sky Blue, and of course Creme. During checkout it treats it as if you are checking out with one of the other color variants and defaults to total of $429 REGARDLESS of what color you're choosing. I don't see why they're not overriding this for people during checkout and making a price correction. This is clearly the software not being linked to the other prices and assumes that all the prices across all variants are the same, when in reality the software should be linked to each price variable INDIVIDUALLY so that the total would reflect the correct color variants chosen. INSTEAD it just uses the price of the Black variant for example and applies the trade-in discount to that price, even though you selected Creme.

The reason we keep getting $429 at checkout is because

Green = $1179 - $750 = $429
Black = $1179 - $750 = $429
Lavender = $1179 - $750 = $429
Graphite = $1179 - $750 = $429
Red = $1179 - $750 = $429

Lime = $1164 - $750 = ***$414
Sky Blue = $1164 - $750 = ***$414

***Creme = $1026 - $750 = $276***

They themselves don't realize the problem which is why they've never been able to answer for how you get to the $429 price. They can't provide a legitimate answer
I was told by the agent that you can't stack promotions. You either get the instant discount or the current promotion for specific colors. It does feel like a bait and switch though.

It's just that their checkout page is only subtracting the trade-in value from ONLY 1 color variant, most likely the black

Did you actually check out and get charged the correct $276 amount?

Where do you see the Creme color 512GB for $1026. It shows $1200.04 for me when logged in with my EDU account credentials. The 256GB shows $1199.99.

It will show the 512GB cream for $1026 only when you apply the edu/EPP discount at the S23 order page. But it doesn't matter, it will change back to the normal price when added to the cart.

I just traded my S9 for an S23 for free at AT&T and received buds to boot.
But now you are likely stuck with that phone for 3 years due to a "promotion." on top if that you now have forced AT&T bloatware

I see a 10% CB site, 4% paypal but what's this 5% Discover you are talking about? The 5% category for Discover doesn't include paypal this month. That starts July 1st

I think this is thew lowest it's been at $250 with trade-in and 14% CB.
Hey there - for us that don't have alot of experience here...can you write out step by step where and how to get CB, then how to get the PP and I see that you feel using a discover card doesnt have PP as a bonus categiry till next month. So really the first two? Thanks I just have never done it.
