Community Reviews

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.

Common Questions (5)

  • The Prime Visa cash back appears to stack, but the $300 rebate is not counted as card-spend for the cash-back calculation. Reported checkout totals vary between 5% and 6% back, and the tax is charged on the pre-discounted $1,299 price.

  • No, the rebate is tied to qualifying trade-ins and some phones do not qualify at all. Examples that were reported as qualifying include an iPhone 11 64GB and a Pixel 9 Pro, while some A16/Verizon-branded trade-ins were later rejected.

  • Yes, the $300 Amazon limited-time rebate can apply to the 256GB model when you complete a qualifying trade-in. It appears inside the trade-in flow as an extra line item and is paid after the trade-in is verified.

  • The trade-in value is added as an Amazon.com Gift Card to your Amazon account, while the $300 rebate goes back to your original payment method after verification. The trade-in and rebate are separate payouts, so the gift card is not cash back to your card.

    snaik9127KalyanK2850Money2g

  • Yes, the $300 bonus may not show on the first trade-in page or after selecting pickup, and some checkout flows only reveal it on the final trade-in prompt. Re-entering the trade-in flow or continuing to the final page can make the rebate line appear.

I did not see any $300 rebate, and Best Buy is selling it directly for $1,099.

Getting just 6% for slow ship here in KC. Trying to decide if it's worth upgrading from the Pixel 9 Pro and might try waiting another year. I only have a 128gb model and constantly using ~115gb's of storage which is annoying. Not sure if I want to go to a much larger phone again though.

I'm kinda in same boat. I have pixel 7 with 128gbs and I hate it. Now that I have kids I'm always at max storage. This is tempting.

IMO if you can afford it, go for it. The trade in + bonus is a good deal (I upvoted the thread personally). I might do it as I've been having other issues with my phone recently (android bugs), but yeah... have to decide.

No trade in offer for a S25 Ultra. 😞 I'm wanting a new phone, but I'll wait.

Would a metro phone be classified as T-Mobile or other? I see the iPhone 13 has a trade in value of $135 + $300 rebate.

Also not seeing 9% cash back with Prime Visa, only 6%.

$1299 + $110.50 tax - $77.94 Prime Visa cash back - $300 rebate - $105 S21 Ultra trade-in - $200 Amazon GC = $726.56

Not bad...

can you trade in this phone even though it is not unlocked and has not past the 60 days activation?
That phone is Verizon phone. After turning on the phone, you will see Verizon logo on the screen.
EDIT: The trade-in rejected without any email. The trade-in phone being returning to me.

I think only after you get to the final prompt, then it shows you the amount of trade in + rebate. For some reasons, I cannot post the screenshot here to show.

Seems the $300 rebate is only with trade-in. However I'm not seeing where to get 9% cashback (with Amazon Prime Credit Card).
