Best Buy is currently offering free storage upgrade to 512gb and is offering comparable trade in deals to Samsung.com.

The $399 deal is with max value trade in - S25 Ultra before tax.

I currently I have an S24 Ultra. I got $800 value for it. My warranty just ran out on my phone and I abuse the heck out of it - hiking, mountain biking, adventuring, etc. Honestly the upgrade between it and this one isn't insane, but I'm buying to get 2 more years of accidental coverage through Monthly Best Buy Protection (up to 24 months. I have the Total Membership and I recommend it. It's been decent quality so far.

Here's an example of the deal below -

$200 trade in for S22 plus. I know it's older, but that seems weak.

That's not instant. You would need to pay $1400 up front first, unless you add a line with the carrier at Best buy.
Also, you didn't at taxes lol

I'm only getting $800 for my S24U as well. Op must've selected to activate with AT&T or Verizon to get that extra $100 off.

S25 Ultra is $900 trade-in and That CBE waste must be based on your state, it's not on my receipt.

I'm showing
S26 Ultra 512GB $1299.99
Tax $78.00
Trade-In $900
BB Total Discount $12.99

Total $1377.99 - $900 = $399.99 + $78 = $477.99

I'm assuming that is referring to trading in a device worth $900 trade in, then subtracting tax

If you are t mobile customer on their plans, you can get decent credit. I'm going to trade in s20 fe for 900$ credit. Giving my s23 ultra to my parents. Plan name is go5g plus. Newer plans like experience more have 1100$ credit, but are more expensive monthly.

I noticed that, but it's through monthly credits. I also don't want to change plans and lose my discount.
