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.
man if it ain't one thing with samsung, it's another.
finally got deal to show up properly, $280 in cart, but can't checkout on edge, firefox or mobile. click continue to check out and nothing happens.
when are they ever gonna get their site fixed and stop these issues from happening. It's always something with them.

How are you getting $280 for it? Is that for the 256GB or the 512GB version? I'm currently seeing a price of $379.99 512GB.

it had a memory discount on the main page, when you select 512 it said something about a memory on us discount, and showed up in cart at 429, but after the paypal150 discount it dropped to 280.
now I'm getting an error that the code is not valid and I still can't checkout anyway, so I wasted hours trying to do this for nothing.
samsung is the worst with their website and purchasing.

Be careful when using the paypal150 coupon. I signed in to PayPal to use it, but when I was brought back to the samsung site,the coupon was removed. Re-entering worked, but it's something to look out for before submitting the order.
Has anyone received phone ordered via this deal? I ordered mine on June 18th for $280. It is supposed to be delivered by June 23rd and till now (9:40pm June 22nd) it is not shipped.

The checkout price is $379.99, and
there is a $100 Samsung credit. Based on my calculation, that would
bring the total to $279.99.
Could you please confirm whether this
is correct? Also, will the price be reduced directly to $279.99 at
checkout, or will the Samsung credit be applied separately after
purchase?

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.
