The S23 Ultra by itself isn't the slickest of deals, but if you bundle a S9 ULTRA Tablet (512GB) with the phone and trade in a S8 Ultra tablet, you can get the S9 Ultra for less than $4. You can also add a watch 6 to the bundle for $99, and Galaxy Buds Pro 2 for $49.

This deal/upgrade may not be for everybody, but it works for me because I'm not only upgrading my devices to newer devices with fresh warranties, but I'm also going from 256GB to 512GB on both devices.
I don't see how to trade in a tablet for the S9 tablet, only a device for the S23 Ultra. I would jump on this if I could figure out how to trade in two devices for the deal you're saying above. Heck, three devices if they'll take a trade-in for the watch too. I'd have no need for the Galaxy Watch 4 I have now.

Were you able to trade two devices? If so, could you please help me figure that out?

I can add a second pair of buds for $49, but not a second watch. But that could be because I reached my limit for the watch discount because I did order one a couple weeks ago too.
Thanks! That's indeed the reason. Samsung had put a limit on each account for the bundle discount.
I tried another non-EDU account and showing the discounted price for each price but then lost the EDU discount on both S23U and Tab. Can't justify the extra cost to go 8/256->12/512 with that.

After you add S23U with trade-in and bundled watch/buds, keep them in cart and go back to the homepage and shopping for Tablet S9U, it will ask you if trade-in for tablet, and again with bundled watch/buds. Add them to the cart you will find both trade-ins are in cart, with additional bundle discounts.

Yeah, pretty stupid
Or...they have too many S22+ devices in stock and need to get rid of them, especially since the upcoming S23 devices are almost here.

Or...maybe they want to entice people who would never buy a Plus or Ultra model to try it, in hopes that they'll continue to buy Plus or better models.

As Marcus2010 mentioned, you must visit each products page and add to cart from the products own page. This applies for the phone, the tablet and the watch. So you will be able to apply a trade in for each product.

Two days ago the edu discount was $200. Now it is $45. The free upgrade is worth $180 off, so only $25 difference, and the tax on the higher end eats that anyway. Does the canceling an order still get a % off?

Thank you for the instructions. I tried a few different ways and I can't seem to replicate. Basically it deletes the trade-in by making it $0.00 value, and a notice comes up saying:
"The following trade-in item(s) in your cart have been removed because there was a better deal on your cart.
Wired audio headset"

Shame, was really hoping to do it and renew Phone, Tab (and get smaller screen), and watch (and get LTE just to see how that goes). I rarely use Tab and watch though, so I guess I'll just keep waiting for an even better just phone offer.

Here's the too long details of how I tried it all:
First tried adding all three bundled items (Tab, Watch, Buds), then went to watch page, added same watch with trade-in. Both watches were then in my cart. Deleted the original bundled one. Now the other is the price of the bundle, but the trade-in is valued at $0.00. Did same with Buds, and the same happened. Then started from scratch again and after adding second Buds with trade-in, moved original bundled to save for later. Same happened. Then started over and this time deleted the 2nd set of buds, trade-in didn't remain in cart. Finally, started over and didn't have any bundled items, just the S23 with its trade-in. Then went to the Buds2 Pro page, added a trade-in, and added to cart. In cart, it was the bundled price, but the trade-in value became $0.00. No warning message. Tried sometimes on Edge, sometimes on Chrome. Tried with two different accounts, one workplace, one "Edu".

Try removing everything from your cart and starting from scratch. Then go to the product page of the phone and add your trade in, then add only the phone with trade-in to cart. DO NOT BUNDLE with any other items. Now go to the product page of the S9 Ultra tablet and enter your trade-in info then add to cart. DO NOT BUNDLE with any other items. If you are trading in a S8 Ultra, then the price for the S9 Ultra in your cart should be $3.79.

As for the watch 6, you would be better off not trading in anything because it's already priced at $99 if you buy it with a phone. Again, you must add everything SEPERATELY.

I am able to replicate the deal with S23 Ultra (traded in S22 Ultra) and S9 Ultra (traded in S8 Ultra) and two earbuds for $49.99 each.

Phone will depreciate more basically. So you have to decide when you'll get rid of it. The battery life of the S22U isn't impressive. Personally I wouldn't want to have it for 2+ years. Now something like the v60 is still fine today, because the battery life is crazy.

Chances are its still worth 800 towards the s24 ultra at some point, and the s23 ultra 1000. A value difference half the cost of upgrading now

I'm also curious to know how much you paid in total... this seems tempting.
