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.
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?
Samsung credit is for buying other Samsung items. Most people here used it towards accessories. You have to use it during the order, or the website makes it sound like you lose the credit. I got the silicon case, screen film and wireless qi2 charging kit with mine.
Thanks all, I was able to finally get it to work. Just FYI - when I was using Firefox incognito, the discount was $100 less. I switched to MS Edge Inprivate, and was able to get the full discount to work (didn't need vpn or anything additional). $749 pretax.

I should have used the $100 credit on the Buds 4pro instead.
That silicone case is trash. The rear camera sticks out so far that the phone just wobbles all over the table when you set it on its back. Completely unusable that way, unless you are holding it in your hand. The anti-reflective film is also trash. Once you go with those new tempered glass screen protectors with the install guide trays, there's no going back. Not too impressed with the magnetic wireless charger either. After today it will probably just be going in a junk drawer. I'll just plug it in from now on, no need for extra crap sitting on my desk.
Glad those items were free throw-ins. I expected better quality accessories direct from Samsung, but maybe that is why they are giving them away.
Already ordered a thicker case and glass screen protector kit with Prime Day.

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.

Delivered yesterday. Setting up this morning.
