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.
It is showing 649.49 fr me.. edu 163, unlockex 150, paypal 150.. but it goes back to 1589.97 price instead of 1199 price... may be they fixed price glitch

Same, I think this is dead ... I get a final price of $511 after tax after 150 PAYPAL150 and $720 trade in. This is through gov offer store.

Anyone figured out how to solve the login issue? keeps asking me to login again and again. What is the point of AI when samsung can't figure the basic login functionality
When it prompts to change password, change it. Otherwise, login loop

For people that can't see the deal, try using chromium-based browsers. Samsung targeted deals usually do not work on Firefox, even on their own Samsung Browser, due to the way the promo script is coded on the their website. If you are code savvy, you can modify the user agent and promo scripts in developer mode on the browser to avail the deal, but it's botherline gray area.
Thanks OP, Great deal. Was able to replicate for $279 (with S25Ultra trade in & PayPal150) + Free Galaxy Buds3 FE . Taxes was only on the $279 price. All within $300. Good upgrade price.
I have just done the purchase for $750 without trade-in, it is still valid. The key is that only on phone app when you click on offers and try everything there, then you will be able to see the storage upgrade promotion. However my phone does not use an EPP account, so I went back to the browser and chat with the online expert at the left-bottom bubble. The expert was able to apply the same promotion into my cart.

The PAYPAL150 discount can reproduce the no-trade-in pricing when checkout is completed with PayPal.
Free accessory bundles can add practical value when the $100 credit is applied during checkout.
Some checkout paths include a blue banner flow that refreshes pricing after clicking Buy now.
Taxes can be applied only to the discounted phone price when the deal is set up correctly.
Trade-in outcomes can include improved battery life compared with a prior S25 Ultra.
The trade-in value and discounted price can fail to appear in the app, preventing the expected deal.
Checkout pricing can jump at the final step, including cases where Samsung support acknowledges a system glitch but refuses to honor the lower price.
The PAYPAL150 coupon can drop off right before checkout, forcing re-entry to keep the discount.
Trade-in acceptance can be risky because unacceptable condition may only be discovered after the return window.
Some included accessories can feel low quality, including a silicone case that wobbles and an anti-reflective film that performs poorly.
