For everyone unable to get their $50 preorder credit, I had to contact their live chat where they gave me a code to use. Not sure if it's at max redemptions or not yet but here it is: LICKVLP88O. If it doesn't work just try their chat and let them know you were unable to get your $50 preorder credit, and make sure you clarify that this is supposed to be on top of the $80/$100 available to everyone.
If it's a code, you should be able to use it on subsequent orders. Im going to chat them for the order I already placed and see if that's possible ($50 code and using it on separate order). I don't want to cancel because I finally got a couple discounts to work together

This is my personal experience, but I've dealt with trade-ins with Samsung for years and never had a problem. It's why I stick with them, honestly. Since maybe 2015 I've just traded stuff in, never had an issue.

I do trade-in with Samsung all the time with no issues. If you want to be extra careful:
  • Take photos and video of the phone showing it working and condition
  • Take a few photos of you packing it
  • Drop it off at a FEDEX location, not Walgreens

I have traded in to Samsung numerous times. Only one time did I have an issue:

Samsung reported that they received an empty box, when they were supposed to have received my Galaxy phone. They initially clawed-back the trade-in value.

Fortunately, it all worked out. They were able to send me pictures of what they received: my shipping box, with some crumpled up packing paper and no phone.

I was able to show them my FedEx receipt, which showed the weight of my package at over 1 pound. The box they received weighed much less than pound.

Obviously, someone in the shipping process had opened my package and stolen the phone.

The company Samsung uses to handle trade-ins was pretty easy to work with on this. They acknowledged that my phone had obviously been stolen in the shipping process, and said it's a problem they encounter a lot. They ultimately did give me the full value for my trade-in.

Ever since that time, I take several precautions. One, I use a ton of packing tape on the box, not just one or two pieces. Two, I take photos and videos of me putting the phone into the box and taping it up. Three, I make sure I save the shipping receipt showing the weight of the package I mailed.

How did you even get the code got with chat and they were useless. They didnt give me a code wanted me to do the order for me.

I've traded in 9 phones in my lifetime and NEVER had an issue with Samsung.


Most of the issues lately are FedEx themselves. Some Fedex shipping centers know what boxes have trade-in phones and steal them.


Just keep video proof you factory reset properly, show proof of the phone working and uncracked, factory reset during the video, and include your shipping receipt in the video. Then save that video in case you have issues.

Then drop your box off at a Fedex store directly so you get a receipt with shipping weight attached (proving there is a phone inside).

I've heard Samsung is fairly reasonable to work with when you do have issues. The only issue I've had is a headphone trade-in credit they rejected and I chatted with them, they filed the support ticket, and 2 days later they accepted the credit, but the trade-in was only $50.

Are we assuming the $50 off emails are incoming? I know there's outrage every year that it's not in people's inboxes as the Galaxy event ends, but it's usually out the evening after the event or, at worst, the next day.

At this very second, Perkspot + S24U trade-in + S25U 512GB is $379.99. If the $50 reservation credit comes in and Samsung math is utilized, hopefully, it goes to $329.99. But we should never forget that Samsung discount stacking math is 5-4=2.
