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.

Quote from olevelo :
You said "this pales", in comparison to deals that aren't good comparisons. That's what I was responding to, along with the other people who said it's not a good deal.

And there's always going to be a better deal in the future. I guess "near" is relative, but I'd say if you're in need of a phone relatively soon and looking for a deal, you care about the next month or two (or the past month or two, if you've been waiting already), not the fall. And in the fall you can say well now the new model is coming out in February so might as well wait till then.
Yes, it does pale in comparison to the Best Buy deals last fall. I think they are perfect comparisons. If I was a betting man, Id sure the hell put money down that we will see better deals this fall. I am still not saying this is a bad deal. I just dont think its super slick. many people in this thread have a misconception that they are getting the phone for $250 and not counting the value of the phone they are giving up. If you are trading in an s22 Ultra its $250 + street value of used s22 Ultra

I'm also not telling anyone they should not go for this deal. I considered it myself. I personally wish there was a better deal on the s23+.

Oh , and I am sure when the s24 is out , people will look back and say, well the s23 was not a great phone. I have an s22+ and I am relatively happy with it.

Well, it's Father's Day and Samsung still has a very mediocre deal on S23u, especially with trade in of S22u. When I got my S22u replaced under Samsung Care warranty a few months ago, they sent me a different color than what I had, but surprisingly I just noticed, they sent me a 512gb, whereas my defective one was a 256gb. Not worth downgrading or paying so much. I'll wait.

Is the free 4 month YouTube Premium promotion for new YouTube Premium users only? If not, how to activate on an existing account? Thanks.
You can't. I was on the same boat once and noticed nothing magical happened when I activated my Google account on the new phone. Called customer service and, as unhelpful as they always are, told me yeah you need a new Google account that has never activated YouTube premium before. Have just been ignoring all these "freebies" since as they are only marketing tactics (read gimmick)

Can't agree more. From the deals in last week of so, i was getting a feeling Father's Day could bring a better deal but looks like our wait continues...

Anyone's EDU or First responder discount not showing up? Only the $200 instant savings is applying.
No, same issue here. Worked with the CS both chat and phone sending sanaphots of difference in offer page vs cart. Escalated to promotion team only to be told nothing can be done -try again. Never have they failed to disappoint me. Love Samsung phones but hate it when I've to reach out to CS.

Agreed. I'd be willing to pay $199 max for the 256gb... Even though I'm not too excited about 8gb of ram, I'd keep it as added value for the S24. Or pay $300-ish for the 512gb, in this case I'd keep it until the S25. Trading in the S22U.

Last July Samsung had a $1,000 trade in value for the s21 ultra to pick up the s22 ultra 256GB for $199 PLUS you could stack your military or edu discounts to bring the price lower PLUS you could get a free accessory such as a clear phone case PLUS you could get a free samsung air tag PLUS you could get a FREE Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 classic. I got this very deal last July of 2022. You can search slickdeals for that post that is still up.

This deal here now is nowhere near as good as the one in July 2022. No thanks Samsung. I'll keep waiting for either Samsung or Best buy to sweeten the deal, otherwise I'm fine waiting until next year.

Thank you. I am glad there is some agreement with me that this deal is not amazing. And the deal I was comparing it to was a completely different deal. Many deals are better than this.

I got $950 for my N20U at BB and bought and S22+ 256gb for $799 I think so it was a money maker, with a BB gift card

$250 + tax - $36 (10%CB) - 18 (5% PayPal) - 18 (5% BofA) = $178 + tax
or​
$250 + tax - $36 (10%CB) - 18 (5% PayPal) = $196 + tax

is an okay deal. Previous deals to get s22 ultra with trade-in were better.

S21 ultra trade-in $800 = $99 + tax for S22 ultra

I used the first one since I already had Watch 5 Pro from another deal and BestBuy screw up saved CA taxes. So, $99 S22 ultra for me.

Wouldn't 10% of $250 be $25 and 5% be $12.50?

Amazing TY! I got two of them just now and picking up in Delaware to save some taxes, didn't want to pull the trigger unless I can get the 12% cashback

I see CB on total amount e.g., in CA, $250 + $110 = $360.
