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.

  • 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.

Anyone else unable to get $749 on the phone without trade-in? I can get to $899 in cart, apply PAYPAL150, but then the price updates to $799 for either colorway.
edit: I can see $899 on s26 ultra page, but when trying to checkout it updates to $949 then applying the code goes to $799. I think what is happening is the instant $250 savings from no trade-in option(displayed on the s26 ultra page) gets updated to $200 instant savings and you can see it when expanding the discount list in checkout page

tried everything, think their offer program is bugged. Even after logging in my Edu account, when I refresh with the link provided, asked to login again. Tried all methods mentioned so far here, not able to get it lower than 1K for the purple 512gb.

I got it to work at last, took me 2 hours refreshing clearing cache etc. I tried so many steps both from the comments earlier and just me random clicking add to cart only to delete cause the savings were not showing up. I really think this comes down to draw of luck at this point. I tried edge, chrome but Firefox did it for me btw.

I've tried numerous times with multiple browsers, the best I can get the no trade-in price is $999 + tax
If I add an S25U trade in it goes to $480 + tax but yesterday it was $620 + tax with the S25U trade in

If I could get it for $750 without trade in I'd order one but it's not working for my account.

Is the upgrade worth it from a s24U? since its looking like the S27U will have a lot more improvements

The discount code only seems to work if you're trading in an S25 Ultra. I tried using it with an S24 Ultra trade-in, but the code wasn't accepted.

System glitch.
It removes the coupon code at the check out page. You need to reenter the code and hit Apply again before hitting the Place Order button

I get 399 with paypal150 code. The tax is crazy. It was 275 but they tax the original price tag.

100 tax
15 dollar recycling fee

Makes it jump like crazy. I dont think it is worth spending another 500.

Holy shit - I got it! I followed another thread where they VPN through Texas.
I followed this guy's steps: https://slickdeals.net/f/19607490-ymmv-galaxy-s26-ultra-new-unlocked-1tb-sky-blue-919?p=184885659#post184885659
Only differences:
  1. I am using workingadvantage instead of AAA
  2. I went into private mode using Firefox, VPN to Texas, allow cookies, etc.
Good luck guys

Can't stack with cashback I guess? I can get this price using Perkspot app but no cashback.
