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.

This should qualify for the 300 rebate.
Even with this cheapest phone

it is 1299-300-200+49-30-(940*5% card) = 771 + taxes

Anyone else concerned with the display issues reported on the phone? Many users mentioned headaches, dizziness from the new privacy screen. And that text looks grainy. Any feedback either way from S26U users is welcomed.

You notice it at the beginning or if you hold the phone side to side to a Pixel 10 Pro XL let's say, but then you forget about it. Headache and dizziness are exagerated, unless you keep privacy screen on for everything 24/7, but I don't think that's the purpose of that feature.

Where do you check trade in status? Did they send you email notification?
No, checked status of trade-in at amazon.com, trade-in phone being shipped in back without any email.

Update on this: My A16 was shipped back to me with a rejection due to it being a Tracfone even though when you boot it up it shows Verizon. I was finally able to get a $300 Amazon gift card (not rebate) because I was very specific in asking for assurances from the Amazon agents in chat and on call that even though my phone was rejected, i would get a $300 rebate to my original payment method. When that failed, me bringing up the previous promise was the reason I was finally able to get an approval for $300 amazon gift balance instead. This still required three more 1 hour+ calls to Amazon trying to get them to honor it and multiple delays where I was told they had to have teams investigate or whatever. They finally honored it yesterday after reviewing the 3 or 4 previous agents who confirmed I was given a promise of that $300.

So even with the A16 rejected, one of the original agents gave me a $30 credit since they said it was accepted initially even though it said rejected, I got the phone back, returned it for a full refund to Bestbuy since it was recently bought for this promotion, then was able to get this $300 giftcard. Not worth the effort for these A16's i'm pretty sure they just dont want to honor these for the promotion
Now to work on wifes promo...
