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.
This isn't the price the OP mentioned after the trade in so it's not working. That issue i think is the starting price shows 1150, but when you go to checkout and view the details it actually starts at the 1499 price for the 512. super glitchy.
Thanks for the steps. I was able to get a similar price with the S24 Ultra trade in. Tried in the phone app, browser and incognito mode and finally after few tries got the change password page. Went ahead and updated the password and was able to get the deal with no issues. After adding the trade in and the promo code, price came down to $399.99 before taxes. Tried paying with a credit card, just to check and lost the $150 discount. Was able to clear the cart and add them back bringing the price to $399.99. Went ahead with PayPal and authorized the payment for $469.99 (after taxes), got the order confirmation but saw price was $623. Looks like the promo was removed, was able to cancel the order and place another order for $469.99.
Tried changing the color, but only Pink and Violet were available as options for this price. Got 2 cases and a 60W charger with the credit.

Buyer beware: Samsung is advertising the 512GB model for $1,049. After applying my trade-in and a PayPal coupon, the total at checkout should have been $399 plus tax. Instead, the price suddenly increased to $649.99 plus tax.
I contacted Samsung support, and they acknowledged it was a system glitch. However, they also said there was nothing they could do and refused to honor the advertised price.
It's disappointing to see a company as large as Samsung acknowledge a pricing error yet leave customers to pay hundreds more than what was displayed. If a price is shown and accepted through the buying process, customers should be able to rely on it.
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.
Cheers mate works like charm. Got s26 ultra + screen protector + rugged cas for 855 with tax.

885 before I add trade in and instead of reducing by 400 for trade it only does 200 Samsung math
