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.

Here are Samsung's terms and conditions for trade ins to address questions on what needs to be returned, how to return, and how they handle issues: https://www.samsung.com/us/trade-...onditions/

Your comment cannot be blank.

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.

Lowest price I was able to get in the cart on a s23u 512 trading in s 22u is $379 by selecting the tmobile activation. I didn't go through because I didn't know if this would affect my tmobile account in any way. I'm on old tmob one plan and terrified of making any waves causing a change in my bill.
Also if selecting the tmob activate to get the additional money off, is the phone locked to tmob and does it open up as a tmob phone?

If you do the T-Mobile activation do you have to pay the $35 fee? That would make it not so slick

Better go with unlocked version for the same price. T-mobile version will lock for 40 days.

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).

Yeah just screen shot both carts and I got refunded today after I did a beast buy pickup(let me do unlocked since it was oos yesterday)

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.

Finally got the refunded $100 difference (let me do unlocked variant since it was oos yesterday)

Damn, I want to do it too but I think I'll wait to see if they'll have some bundle deals with the tab and phone.

To those of us still holding out hope..the ones that admittedly come to this thread atleast once a day followed by Samsungs site or app, what's the next date we are holding out hope for?

Father's Day, 4th of July, and Amazon Prime Day were a total flop..all we want is a good deal on an S23 Ultra 512 with a S22 Ultra trade in!
Sure a tablet bundle deal like in the past would be nice, but we're not greedy. Hell, if we were greedy, we'd hold out for something like the old 10% code snaffu which allowed us to stack like 11 10% coupon codes....miss those days! Lol

I'm happy to take the lowest storage capacity as long as I'm spending sub $200 after taxes.

The price changed when placing the item in the cart. Samsung support said that there is a glitch. The call center should be able to give you a price match if you call after purchasing. Just make sure you have evidence of the original pricing.

They lowered the trade in value for my Note 20 Ultra from 600 to 350...😔

Yup, it's pathetic.

Held out for Prime Day / July 4th promos that were anticipated... and the deals only got worse.

I don't have an edu email and it is rejecting my company's email and gmail. Am I out of luck? Do you all have edu email or company emails working fine? Thank you for any tip!

I ended up getting the S23 512gb for $329, including the $100 refund with the T-Mobile activation. Screenshot and called for the refund they issued the following day. I wish they had been out of stock, had to get the actual T-Mobile version. I'm on a very old Simple Choice plan and absolutely no changes to my line or billing.

Edit: if one of you savvy SD'ers know how I could possibly exchange my T-Mobile S23U for an unlocked one, please share.

Does Samsung chat provide 10% discount codes for phones like they do for TV's?

I have a Note 9 I'm trying to trade in. $650 for 256gb with Note 9 trade in. Might be the best deal I can get. Though the Google Fi deal for $600 +$100 (4 months service) for 256gb is something to consider. Or should I just wait for the S24U?
Although I do want the graphite color, so that would be through samsung edu...
EDIT corrected Google Fi deal is for 256gb phone

Think I might cave and get the 256. It's coming to $260 with tax when I add a silicon phone case. Would be trading in my s22u 256.
