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.
Common questions...
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. I 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 States charge sales tax on the pre trade-in price, other States after the trade-in is applied. This is not Samsung playing games.

I've always gotten the education discount attached to my Samsung account without IDme before. I assume this is something new.

I wouldn't buy it on its own. But if I have a $130 credit, it is a fun thing to spend it on.
I've always gotten the education discount attached to my Samsung account without IDme before. I assume this is something new.
I would love to pay less, but I'm tired already just to think about keeping track of future "offers".
I'm on T-Mobile Go5G Plus plan. In previous years, as best I can remember, I could upgrade my phone by ordering from Samsung and getting the same trade in value I got from T-Mobile. I think Samsung site would first have me log into T-Mobile and then tell me my trade in value. Are those days gone? Today upgrading via T-Mobile gets me $1000 for my S23 and going through Samsung gets me $500, even if I select that I want to do T-Mobile EIP.
In past years, from Samsung, I would get full trade in value, any epp discount, cash back site credit, $50 Samsung early sign up discount and then some accessories credit and it was an amazing deal in the end.
With $500 less trade in value, that obviously doesn't work anymore so I would order from T-Mobile and get my full $1000 credit and also $100 Costco gift card, which is good, but not as good as when I could get full trade in value from Samsung.
Is that just how it is now or am I missing something?
