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.

I got the $25 to apply, bringing the base cost down to $226, but taxes bump it to $305 and that feels kinda wild.

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.
Quote from Buttercup30 :
In purchase price but says it's a promo code further down. May can pull it from the url.

What is the promo code for the $25 off? Is it unique (one-time use) or generic (multiple use)? Thanks. hug

This one was $25 off your first purchase from the shop app, mentioned a page or so back by another user here. It's a banner on the Samsung website.

Interesting data point. Up until now I purchased using samsung.com shipping and got charged tax on the full device.
I needed the phone yesterday so went with Best Buy B&M pick up and got charged tax on the $250:

Subtotal$249.99
Taxes$14.83
Reward Points-$2.85
Total Savings$950.00
Promotional Discount(s)$200.00
TradeIn Discount(s)$750.00
Total$261.97
Did you just do pickup in bestbuy and the tax adjusted after you picked it up or something? Also do you trade it in to best buy or do you still have to send it to samsung?

Presumably via Samsung because BB's site only shows up to $500 available in trade credit.

Is the promo code as shown on the shopping cart or URL single or multiple use? Last year, it was a generic promo code that anyone could use it. Unfortunately, I did not get that promo this year on my Samsung Shop app. Frown

Quote from myakoob :
I get the following message when buying with T-Mobile + trade-in.

"Your account type is not supported on Samsung.com. Please see the non-supported account types listed on the page. Please consider purchase of unlocked device by starting over."

Do I need to be on a certain plan? (i am currently on T-Mobile's Essentials plan)
Quote from kingsfan626 :
I was able to get the S23U 256GB for $199 using the T-Mobile option and trading in an S21.

You have to have Go5G Plus but this method is much cheaper than going directly through T-Mobile so I'm happy with another 24 months of credit.
Quote from Ransom :
Anyone else getting this message on checkout?



Gives the ineligible accounts as:



None of that applies to me and neither Samsung nor Tmobile can figure it out. Would love to take advantage of this but I'm locked out for some reason.
Quote from 2ndLeaf :
After unchecking the Go5G plan, T-Mobile option will be available. After completing the trade in option, T-Mobile Equipment Installment Program is one of the payment options (see attached screenshots.) I am using desktop only.
Quote from samwathegreat :
T mobile version, not unlocked..
Quote from lodit :
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).
Quote from CupZ86 :
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)
Quote from thealchemist78 :
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.
Have you gotten your T-Mobile new bill and did they charge you the $35 Device Connection Charge?

Did not purchase the upgrade. I will wait for the S24 Ultra before making that decision.
