Deal Details
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile...930nzeaxaa

This one is similar to the buds pro 2 trick I posted a little while back and same as before, a few friends confirmed it works for them too. You can probably get it cheaper with a better trade in or still use this method with more expensive models but here's what I did:

Launch Samsung shop app, log in with epp/edu account.
Add Watch 6 40mm
Select Watch 4 tradein
Add to cart. Cart will show $129 or so. Swipe down to refresh your cart. It will pop up a message saying prices in cart were reduced. It should now show ~93 (was $92 and change.) With tax it came to $97 and change with free shipping.

For the buds deal, the prices seemed to vary +/- ~5% for folks in that thread. Guessing the epp/edu discounts might not be the same across the board.

*Edit - Didn't expect this post to get this much traction but glad it's working for folks! A few updates - Per comments in the thread it does work with multiple watch types and trade ins.

If you don't see the trade-in option - "Go under the left side menu to offers and find the watches, the click on thru there... Should give you the trade in option" Thank you @carlson03 for this tip!

If I'm understanding this post correctly, the swipe down trick works with a non-epp/edu account as well, although the final price will not be as good most likely as with an edu/epp account.

Some Chase cards are offering 10-20% off Samsung products. Thanks @p_s_shah! (source: https://slickdeals.net/f/17027956-samsung-edu-epp-galaxy-watch-6-40mm-with-watch-4-tradein-93-fs-ymmv?p=166705459#post166705459 )

AAA members can try this portal for EPP - https://discounts.aaa.com/home-bu...=discounts

*Edit 2 - You can trade in any Watch to still get $50 discount before doing the cart refresh trick. Thanks @astarbllr! (Source: https://slickdeals.net/f/17027956-samsung-edu-epp-galaxy-watch-6-40mm-with-watch-4-tradein-93-fs-ymmv?p=166716328#post166716328 )
If you don't have one and your willing to do a few extra steps, you can grab a $10 android watch off Amazon and trade it in for net savings of $40.

Thanks OP, got a GW6 44m with GW5 trade in for $103 total. With chase 20% cashback deal that is about $80 for GW6 44mm, not bad at all.

Shows $150+ tax after refresh, to go from GW4 classic to GW6 Classic 47mm.

Worth it?

Also, is there a way to apply Edu or Govt discount in the Shop App? Hoping to get some extra dough off, and I have 1 20% cash back offer on a chase card too.

Which improvements in the GW6 over GW5 are you interested in?

Do these work with Google Pixel or is a Google watch better?
Wish I could trade in my old Timex!

Mainly the bigger screen real estate, and the battery life. The thinner bezel looks pretty jarring compared to the thick bezel on GW5. Everything else is about the same at this point.

Interesting, that means this trick works with non-EPP/EDU as well. Yes you can, but the way samsung does it is a bit lame. You basically make a brand new samsung shop account using your work/gov/edu email account. Also no accrued points transfer between accounts.

Did not work for me. I tried app, different browsers, cart refresh keeps the price same.
Per a previous poster, they mentioned also not having no luck and left the cart as is, returned 5-10m later, swiped down, and it worked. Can't guarantee same for you but worth a shot.

I'd agree. As an owner of the 5 Pro, I stuck with it. (I did this deal to upgrade my sons watch for his birthday.) The only reason I'm tempted is the "yearly leapfrog" benefit. e.g. would it end up being cheaper if I upgraded now to the 6, then from the 6 to the 7, or go straight to the 7. Hard to tell as obviously we won't know what Samsung will do promo-wise but if history is any indicator its not going to be significant enough to leapfrog now to the 6 classic. The primary reason I went with the 5 pro was battery life. I can get ~3d or so out of it. It's an LTE model too. My understanding is the 6 classic has a smaller battery and even with the more efficient chip, it doesn't last as long, so I'm sticking with my 5 pro for now.

Damn would upgrade but no edu account
apparently you can still get the refresh discount on the retail pricing too. If you have a corporate email account try it, you never know. My company has never advertised a partnership with samsung and yet I got it.

Thanks so much for this! Got a galaxy watch 6 classic 47mm for $191+tax after trading in "any smartwatch in any condition."

also could have gotten galaxy buds FE for $45 in the same cart. ended up passing but seemed like a great deal for anyone in need of buds!
