No. $400 off the top. S26 Ultra is $899 already (not $1299). Get a cheap prepaid phone (I have a Galaxy A03s), they'll give me $5 + $700 promo credit = $705. My total will end up being $194 + tax. Pay in full. There's no way I would give up my S25 Ultra in this case. It's worth more selling on the private market.
I did this a month ago and got an S26 the same way. I'll do the S26 Ultra tomorrow on the same line.
I do in-store, though. Sales tax is applied differently (since your trade-in is evaluated and applied right away) as opposed to doing it online and waiting for the promo credit to hit.

No. Pay the cost of the phone at checkout, send in your trade-in and you'll get the FULL value applied to your account. You can call/chat and have that credit applied as a refund to your credit card.
If you're paying in full, there is nothing involving "3 years" at all. It's paid.

Yes! And it's MUCH better. At least in TX and many other states, you make out a lot better because you only pay sales tax on the amount AFTER your trade-in is applied.
If you do it online, you pay the FULL sales tax of the device and the credit is applied later, no sales tax refunded.
I will literally save something like $95 doing it in-store rather than online.

Quote from Surfer5 :
DP: Went to store 1 in NC, they upfront told me nothing in stock, couldn't tell other store had it. Drove 20miles to another store, employee was helpful got 2 phones out(26U and 26+) started processing first trade in, then second employee ask him to help him with something, they went inside and came back stating there's an issue with the devices, so they have to order online. SMH, I told them that does not make sense and called out the other employee that it was going through until you tried to help and now there's issue with phones. Finally first employee said let me try and then he was able to go through the process for first and told me the amount but couldn't do the second one. So, he did two separate transactions. But could either send me bill or breakup of 2nd purchase(SMH) and I can't find it online in my account in orders(can only see the first one).
Overall, took more than an hour but I was out with 2 phones(26+,26U). Cost was $79 for +, and $309 for Ultra. It looks like Account activation was not waived for ultra. Was told to check with CS.

Anyone have any luck with CS to waive that now?

Also, any recommendations for case? Ultra is really huge, I am thinking should have got another plus. But oh well.
You did the transaction this morning or yesterday? Did you chat with CS about account activation, got 2 phones yesterday and was charged the $20 activation on each one.

Yes, once the credit posts to your account you need to contact CS either by phone or chat and ask for the credit to be posted to your credit card.
