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.

Someone, please check what would be the final cost with S21, ZFold 3 or iPhone Xr trade-in. Can't check myself now - going to night shift job!
XR they're offering $20, Fold 3 $110, and S21 $80. With the Fold 3 trade-in I'm getting 889 + tax on 512 GB Violet.

I can replicate the deal but it seems like the paypal discount goes away right before I pay. I'm using PayPal and as soon as I get to the final page to place the order it adds about $150 to the price. Very frustrating.

I officially give up. I've tried getting this as soon as it was posted until this day and still cannot. Have tried every combination of browsers, VPN location, account (both AAA and mil), and it does not work for me. So, I'm convinced it is account dependent and some are just lucky getting it. I will just hold on to my S25 ultra.

It just worked again for me for $899, but the PayPal code didn't work. Could be because I already used the code for another order.

Is the memory upgrade offer expired? I can get the EDU and the Paypal savings, but selecting the Cobalt Violet only brings it to $999.

This happened to me, too. Eventually I was able to successfully enter the code a second time on the later screen after the code went away from the previous screen.

I've read so many horror stories about direct Samsung trade-in deals. Folks getting completely rejected for minor things. Has it gotten better?
