This is a stacked Galaxy S26 Ultra deal that hinges on a trade in, the $300 Amazon limited time rebate, and a $200 Amazon gift card. The rebate is tied to the trade in flow and is paid to the original payment method after verification, while the trade in value lands as an Amazon gift card. The strongest effective prices come from qualifying phones like a Pixel 8 Pro or Pixel 9 Pro, but the 256GB version and the 9 percent cash back claim have been inconsistent in checkout. Trade in rejections and missing rebate displays add friction, so the appeal is mostly for shoppers comfortable with the extra steps.
Trade-in shoppers with a qualifying phone, because the deal stacks a $300 rebate, a trade-in value, and a $200 Amazon gift card.
Prime Visa holders who can use slower shipping, because the card can stack with cash back and interest-free payments without counting as financing.
Heavy-storage phone users, because 256GB can be a meaningful upgrade when a 128GB phone is already near full.
Unlocked-phone buyers who want to avoid carrier lock-in, because this listing is for an unlocked device and can downgrade trade-in value instead of rejecting it.
People trading in a phone that may be flagged or mismatched, because trade-ins can be rejected and require repeated support calls.
Shoppers who want a simple, low-effort purchase, because the rebate and cash-back stack can be confusing and hard to verify.
Buyers who need the trade-in value paid back as cash, because the trade-in amount comes as an Amazon gift card.
Shoppers expecting the advertised effective price without a Pixel 8 Pro trade-in, because the stated total depends on that specific trade-in.

This should qualify for the 300 rebate.
Update: I chatted with a associate who said on their end it looked like it was Accepted, so this is a pretty annoying headache. I took screenshots of the chat saying the promotion will go through since it was accepted and wait I guess.
Update 2: My wife who did this on her different account with the actual Verizon branded A16 from Bestbuy (not Total Wireless) and she got a "Cloud Account Connected" rejection which is impossible so we'll have to do the same screenshotting for her.
Update 3: Wife also got word from an associate that it was "Accepted" on their end. As far as they know we are completely different customers so three instances of odd rejections including the other user below me.

Edit: Also got the prepaid A16 rejected. Didn't open the S26 Ultra in anticipation of this! just going to return the S26 Ultra because without the $300 it's not worth it.
I'm leaving these phones unopened in case I need to return.

Hoping my trade doesn't get rejected like I'm seeing in here... It's an almost new pixel 9
Turns out, now it says they created a return label to ship this back to me which I had now called their support about. Their "Trade-In" team is supposed to contact me within 24 hours as again they said it looks like it was accepted on their end. We'll see if it shows up tomorrow because an unexpected UPS email came through to me about a delivery tomorrow and that's the only thing that could be showing up.
It's looking like a full return of both the a16 and s26 ultra may be the result.
