Not working for me today, but it worked yesterday where I got it down to $899.99 without the PayPal discount and any trade in. I assume price would've gone down to $749.99 after the PayPal discount.

Thanks OP!
The website is very glitchy.

Steps I took:
-Added the Cobalt Violet S26 Ultra 512 gb
-clicked on trade in and selected Samsung and S25 ultra
-confirmed trade in
-on the next screen, you'll see offers for up to $100 off. I added a bunch of accessories, air tag white, air tag black, 15w charger, 25w charger, transparent film, and silicon case black with magnetic wireless charger 45w travel adapter grey
-on the last screen, you'll see that the black case, magnetic wireless charger with 45w travel adapter, 15w power adapter are all free. The smarttag 2 will be $6.67.
-remove the other accessories that have a $$ to them
-add paypal150 and checkout

My total was $310.31
what was your starting price for the 512 cobalt violet?
mine starts at $1150 for 512gb
adding the stuff you said is mostly free, the case was $4
total for me still ends up being $484 after it's all said and done.

It was glitchy (especially trying to checkout with PayPal), but I eventually got it to work.
I just logged into ID.me first, for military discount, then went to Samsung website from there and selected the S26U 512GB. I think cobalt violet? but I have never used a phone without a case, so I couldn't tell you the color of any phone I've ever had.
I then added in the black silicone magnet case, 45w wireless charger set, and the screen film thing - all free.
My total came out to $299.59, final, shipped.

I have done a few Samsung trade-ins. No problems so far. I take lots of pics/video before packaging up the old devices and driving it directly to FedEx main facility in town.

Now, I am still waiting on a trade-in deal to swap my Watch 5 Pro (with only about 84% max battery now) for a 2025 Watch Ultra (or whatever else might be a good trade-in watch deal)

Nope deal is not dead. I just tried and it is working with $150 off via PAYPAL150. Too bad only 2 feminine colors are discounted.
Feminine is your opinion. I for example, will wear any color.

Using Edge, login your account, Shop, S26 Ultra. There should be a blue banner across the top of the screen advertising the PAYPAL150 promotion, you have to click the Buy now option there to get the discounted price. 512GB option should now show 899.99 for purple and pink gold, all other colors are 974.99. Then you can apply trade-in + promo code.

Rep'd! Good find. I tried with my EPP account as well as EDU account and couldn't get the price to show, until I used your way of getting to the page. Thanks!

is there even any point in upgrading from the s25 ultra? Don't care for privacy glass . Battery seems similar, lowlight pictures seems the same despite upgraded sensor.
NO, 90% the same.

Odd, when I click the buy now button in the blue banner it just exits the EPP shop and has worse pricing

Can you share the Buy now button's link destination URL?

Keeps kicking me out of the website. I changed my password 3 times. I give up. I guess I am stuck with my iphone 14 pro

The same happening to me. I have been trying since yesterday, the price only went down to 479.99
I accidently got it. Very tricky.

Step 1. Add phone with out trade in (if you see $300 off storage update, you are good to go)
Step 2. choose free screen protector and black phone case(only these two are free)
Step 3. Add trade in when you in cart
Step 4. Apply coupon code
-Step 4.1 If you didn't see $300 off storage update at Step 1, delete the phone, and add it back(do not hit back button, click the menu to the phone) or clear your cart(leave ) and add them back
Step 5. Paypal check out.
-Step 5.1 If you are lucky, everthing works great now.
-Step 5.2 If your cart final price goes up since the Paypal coupon gone, go to step 6
Step 6. Fill PAYPAL150 into coupon area again, it will say can't apply, but you can expend the saving summary here, it might work. If not, change your shipping method, expend the saving summary and fill it it again. Suddenly, it works!

Tips: At Step 4.1, you can delete the phone and the case, but keep the screen protector. Then start over by add the phone the case, and the screen protector back, so that you have two free screen protector and one free black case (since the $100 credit)
Hope it helps. I'm trading in my S24 Ultra and I think this deal is super slick if you can get it. My car it $397 (exclude tax and fees) and $480 ish with everything and all the tax.

I'm using Vivaldi Browser since it can delete cookies for certain site, this helps me to play with website.
