This is a glitchy Samsung EDU and EPP offer for the S26 Ultra 512GB, best when the PayPal150 code, trade in, and the $100 accessory credit all line up. The strongest outcomes land around $279 to $750 before tax, with some orders also including free case, charger, screen film, or Buds. The S25 Ultra trade in appears to unlock the deepest pricing, while other trade ins often price higher. Checkout is inconsistent, with login loops, coupon drops, color restrictions, and tax or trade in issues that can push the total up. A finicky deal that rewards persistence and the right account.
EDU or EPP members who can follow a finicky checkout flow, because the full discount can appear after reapplying the code and choosing PayPal.
Incognito or InPrivate browsing, clearing cache/cookies, and using a Chromium-based browser or Firefox with cookies enabled can help. Some shoppers also had to change the password when prompted, or use a VPN to a U.S. location before clicking the blue banner's Buy now button.
Samsung checkout can recalculate the offer, so the cart price may jump from the advertised amount to a higher total at final checkout. Taxes may also be charged on the full pre-discount amount in some states, which can push the total well above $279.99.
Yes, the no-trade-in deal still appears to work for some accounts and colors, especially when the blue banner or offer page is triggered correctly. The 512GB model can show $899.99 before PAYPAL150, which drops it to about $749.99 pre-tax.
Not reliably. Several military-account attempts stayed around $949 to $1,000 before tax, while EDU/EPP accounts were able to reach the lower promo pricing.
Yes. The $279.99 price is tied to trading in a Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the PayPal150 code must be applied in cart with PayPal as the payment method. Other Galaxy S25 models have lower trade-in value, so they do not reach the same total.
Add the S26 Ultra to cart first without trade-in, then apply the trade-in inside the cart. If the discount disappears, re-enter PAYPAL150 on the later checkout screen and continue with PayPal.
I tried with my military account and my epp account. Sadly the deal doesn't work on either. I tried in Chrome, Chrome incognito, edge, and chrome mobile
I keep on getting a login loop. I log in, get pushed back to the login page, and again, and again. Any idea what's happening?
Not sure if the link in this thread is causing some issues, but I directly went with samsung and was able to get out of the login loop.But may be I am wrong
Using Chrome just worked for me. I used EDU. Select a color that was $899. Went all the way to checkout, then added the promo code PAYPAL150, then added my S25U as a trade-in. Checked out with Paypal and then it reverted the discount. I reapplied PAYPAL150 and it dropped it to $316 with tax. Order placed.

I got one yesterday. New computer (one I had not used previously to log into Samsung),went through AAA shopping website. It was down to 899. there, then added the paypal code. Got pink 512GB for $749.

Is anyone still able to get the 279.99 price? I've tried every browser and method, and tried both edu and epp accounts. I get 479.99 + tax @ checkout (savings are 720 for trade in, and 150 for paypal code). Can anyone post what the total savings is supposed to look like? I can't read OP's attachment.

Same here. Wondering if it dead or not.
