Best buy offers upgrade and trade-in but no gift card, no credit. Amazon offers upgrade + gift card but no trade in, no credit. Samsung offers 30 credit and trade in but no gift card or upgrade. Can't see why anybody would do Samsung at all , at this point. Minimally , it should be best buy if you are trading in and Amazon it not trading in. Ordering on Samsung is useless
This was clearly a coordinated effort for it to happen that way. It's cringe af.

Free memory upgrade but they charge sales tax on the full phone cost. Samsung deducts the trade in and then charges tax. With $50 PayPal code and s25 Ultra trade, my price is $379 from Samsung and $523 from Best Buy. 256gb to 512gb isn't worth $150 to me. Plus, I'll have the phone and week early from Samsung.
No. Samsung charges me tax on the whole thing. I paid $72 tax. The taxable value would be around $1200 based on 6% tax rate.
Still Samsung comes out $50 cheaper for me. $50 is worth the upgrade

Just a quick note that when ordering on Samsung.com, there are potentially other savings:
  • $50 off using code PAYPAL50
  • $32.50 off with Savings (student, teacher, government worker, first responder, etc.)
  • $30 credit if you reserved (doesn't work on the phone itself, so not a big deal)
I hope this helps,

Good point. Pp 50 and employee discount will add some. But if not trading in, Amazon still looks like the best deal for 512 gb

Yeah, looks like they gave each vendor a deal so they can get business based on people's needs

Turns out this depends on state. cA is the worst they charge tax on the whole amount , about 120 and then take trade in value off.

No, Gfi has the best deal on the S26U if you have an existing Fi line. $650 + around $100 in service fees for the obligatory 120 days if you're on the Flex plan. Also, Fi charges tax on the discounted price but this is YMMV depending where you live. If you go with Amazon, that's $1299 + tax + $200 AGC.

Samsung only charged me $33 tax. Interesting.

If you have rewards, they are giving you 2x value! That is a very very good redemption.

Privacy screen seems cool. I always put a privacy screen protector on my phone.

Samsung is worst this time.. no storage upgrade... Not even better trade in for non Samsung phone.. I waited for this event for long time and it turns out to be pathetic.. I was expecting at least $500 to $600 for my pixel 8 pro and they are offering pathetic value which is $200
