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.
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.

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.
