PRE-ORDER CREDIT INFO
For a limited time, reserve the latest Galaxy device(s) on samsung.com or in the Shop Samsung App and receive a $50 Samsung Credit ("Reservation Gift") when you pre-order and purchase the reserved device. Pre-order and purchase required. The Reservation Gift cannot be applied to the pre-ordered device(s) and must be used at the time of pre-order purchase towards purchasing additional eligible products on samsung.com, or in the Shop Samsung App. Reservation Gift will be applied automatically when you use the same email address during Reserve and Pre-Order Periods. Reservation Gift is a one-time use e-certificate; when first used, any value not used is lost and must be used at the time of purchase. The Gift is non-transferable and limited to 1 per Qualifying Purchase. If you return or cancel your purchase, the discount will be forfeit.
ACCESSORY CREDITS: Do I have to use the pre-order credit (for example, $150 at the time of phone purchase)? Short answer: If Samsung is doing what it has done in the past, no. As you're going through the checkout process, choose skip add-ons. You will see the credit in your cart. In the past, according to the Samsung invoice/order page, "Use your redemption at the time of preorder, or redemption details will be emailed within 14 days after your order is delivered. 90 days to redeem." **Double-check to see if this is still true for the S24**
Note: In the past, you had to skip add-ons entirely in order to receive the full credit later on. If you have a $150 credit sitting there and you add a $50 accessory to your cart you will get it for free but you will not get the extra $100 later on.
TRADE-IN OVERVIEW
SAMSUNG TRADE-IN PROGRAM TERMS/CONDITIONS [samsung.com]
SAMSUNG TRADE-IN FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS [samsung.com]
Overview: If Samsung is processing trade-ins like prior deals, you will receive instructions by email--along with a prepaid shipping label--around the time your new phone arrives. You can also print the label from your online Samsung account.
You will send in the phone only (no boxes, chargers, SIMs, cases, etc.). Phone must be factory reset and have no passwords or locks. Good practice: Make a VIDEO and take photos of the phone, including showing some functions, to prove the condition if Samsung challenges you after inspecting the phone. More details....
My phone has scratches [or burn in or faulty Bluetooth or fill in the blank]. Will Samsung accept the phone? Will the trade in amount be reduced? According to the FAQ, "Your device must have no breaks, cracks, or other defects that go beyond normal wear and tear." Is your issue normal wear and tear?
When/how will I get instructions for trading in my phone? Samsung will send you an email with the subject "Welcome to the Samsung Trade-In Program." The email will arrive anywhere from the day the phone ships to a few days after the phone arrives. It includes a link to download a pre-paid shipping label. You have 15 days from receipt of the email to ship the trade in. You can also get the shipping label for the trade in from your online Samsung account under order details.
Two commonly asked questions about financed and leased phones:
1. The device I'm trading in is one that I bought using an equal payment or other financing plan, and I still have payments left on it. Can I still trade it in?
Yes – however, please note that all remaining payments on the device you're trading in are your responsibility. You may also be subject to additional fees. Check with your current carrier for details.
2. lease my device. Can I trade it in?
No – leased devices are not eligible for this Trade-In Promotion unless you purchase the leased device from your carrier before trading it in. Check with your carrier for details.
SALES TAX
Samsung charges sales tax based on your State's requirements. Some s States charge sales tax on the pre trade-in price, other States after the trade-in is applied. This is not Samsung playing games.

The list stays the same, but if you're not on a Go5G and instead on the older Magenta plans, the value is 1/2
The original low price that you see is the absolute lowest it will be if you were to trade in a s23u, 15pro or pro max. It's a scummy way that samsung is advertising this but that's what it is. If you play around with the trade in and put any of those 3, then you'll realize there's no price hike.
Its a shame Samsung has become a bunch of scammers. Maybe they've been this way longer than I can realize....
I hope the Pixel can start competing with the Ultra line so I can make the switch and ditch Samsung all together.

I don't know how you justify discrediting public information by calling it a made up term like Hollywood accounting.
In any case here is some data for you:
https://www.androidcent
BOM cost of a touch under $500, that's gross (COGS) margin of 50%, not counting amortization or R&D, sales, marketing, or distribution (retail distribution margins on consumer electronics are often 2x wholesale price).
You can see that the gross margins I suggested align right with the data: https://csimarket.com/Industry/in...p?ind=1012
so you can take your misinformed comments and mean attitude and keep quiet.
Making stuff up and trying to get a rise out of people is just silly.
I really dislike the Fold 4 and it's 100% because of how narrow and useless the front screen is.
What surprised me most was the TIV for the Fold 4 $600 and the S22U is $650.
I ended up using the S22U as trade-in. Also tried to get some Smartags but they were sold out by the time I tried checking out. I'm also not happy about the taxes as California taxes on the pre-discounted price of the phone. Paid $680 for everything.
Is this a good deal or should I wait?
To have a similar on prepaid plan, you'd have to pay $65/month x 7 = $455/month vs we're playing approximately $160/month after corporate discounts.
Is this a good deal or should I wait?
Yes, it's a good deal if you can check out at that price.
After 5% paypal, 12% that website, 3% amex, total should be $544.68. Is this a good deal?
