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.

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.
The only downside to that is that you are downgrading your RAM from 12GB to 8GB. Makes it hard for me to go to the 256GB S23 from my 256GB S22U.

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 512gb is something to consider. Or should I just wait for the S24U?
I'm just waiting for the S24U at this point. Heard it will have a flat screen, which is something I really want. Curved screens are just stupid IMO. I still got the S22U as I wanted the best cameras, but I also have a base S22 and I like it's flat screen so much more than the curved one on my S22U.

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 am just waiting for the S24U at this point. S22U to S23U is not that huge of an upgrade, so I am willing to wait unless they bring back the crazy deals like they had last year. Those deals really hurt their earnings though, so it is unlikely they will do those insane deals again. I'll definitely jump on it if they do, but don't have hope. Also, perfectly happy with my S22U 256GB and S22 256GB in the meantime. Not worth spending hundreds to upgrade.

I'm getting close to that point as well. The only part about waiting and eventually trading in a 22 on a 24 is that, based on past and current trade in promos, a trade in of a 22 to 24 will be about $250 less than a trade in of 23 to 24. It's like either pay now or pay later. In general, I always see a 1 year old phone is about $250 more (trade in and actual value) than a 2 year old phone. My target out of pocket upgrade price has always been $250. In years past, Samsung has always allowed me to upgrade for less....sometimes a lot less thanks to them tossing in watches or ear buds.

The only thing your post misses is that the years not over. The best deals on s23 will be between BF and Jan 24. Only thing is that you will be upgrading right before the s24 released. And then holding onto it until Nov 2024 , right before the s25 is released. Rinse, repeat.

Good point.👍 I just wouldn't mind having a new toy now to play with..lol..butbfrom the sounds of it, nothing new with a s23u.

My issue is I have a pile of reward points from Samsung that are piling up every month from a special program I'm in .. upto $1k in points..but at end of the months , $70 worth expire...unless I start using them. And I'm not a watch person and don't need new ear buds.

I know but I don't think I utilize the phone to its max capability so probably won't see any difference with the ram, just want a new color really. LMAO

If you go to the Samsung site in mobile browser you should see a banner for the 25 off 250. Click it to go to the app and have it automatically applied. The 15 comes up when you add some item. I just added the cheapest case to get to 250.

Is the $25 reflected in the purchase price or does the discount show as a separate line item?
