Buying from Samsung charges tax on the full price of the device. Picking up from BB B&M only charged tax on the $250. YMMV but worth a try.

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.

Did you receive any update? I am seeing the same error through education login, as well as EPP portal. The customer support seems of no help in this pricing.

I'm finally getting the $224.99 price in the cart (had a $25 promo pop up today) without $100-$225 being added to in in the cart. But eh, with $100 in taxes, this will be $325, and I just got my S22 Ultra in May for $400 with ear buds after trading in my Note 9, so I'll hold off a bit to see if a better deal pops up...
I got the $25 offer in my phone notifications but when I click on it I dont know how to find it?

Ehh, I see it if I add phone to cart in app but they decreased TIV on my s22+ from $600 to $500. No trigger for me.

Well after 3 total hours of online chat and talk time with Samsung I was able to get the s23 ultra lavender 512 for $249. It was a battle but I was prepared with screen shots of the promotion and my chat log with the online support. Finally was put through to someone that helped. He actually canceled my order for the 256 sent me a cart to with the 512 in it for $482 then put through a credit of $240. It took a lot of work but I'm happy.

Was the adjustment made with an online rep or a phone rep?

Can you share the screenshot of the price so that we may also fight for this price? I tried online chat but they are not helpful at all.

I was able to get the price down to $149 before checking out for:

S23 Ultra 256 GB
TMobile version
Cream color

De-selected the Go5G option
Online Activation selected

Subtotal shows $149.99 before checking out. (Trading in S22 Ultra).

Going to cart shows $249.99, somehow lost the additional $100 discount (presumably associated with activation).

Worth going to battle with the reps or no? (Yes, I have TMobile as my carrier, and 5G coverage is decent).

make sure you chose online activation. that gave me an additional $100 off when I was trying to do the ATT version. I ended up with the unlocked


ATT version came out to $99 for the 256 if you chose ATT financing. But I'm on the prepaid plan, so I couldn't get that to go through.

If you took screenshots throughout the process you have a shot.

I got no where with the online teams. The phone reps just try to have you place an order and don't like escalating to their boss. But once I got to the manager it was pretty straightforward

Can u still get full trade in for Fold3 with just black lines and unresponsive touch on inner half of the screen, no cracks, outer screen all works? Because requirements just mention no cracks.
