Deal Details
1. Look for an email from Samsung for a 5 percent off coupon for signing up for texts.
The email subject is "Ready for a sweet, new shape?" For the new foldable being released on July 22nd but the email has a link to get 5 percent off. It would have come to your edu/email registered with Samsung. The coupon will expire on 7/21.

2. Login into EDU/EPP and select 512 GB and Cobalt Violet or white color.
3. Apply the coupon at checkout.

This is better than Fi deal if you need 512 GB.

You can add those instructions to OP but I don't see the discount anymore even with Cobalt Violet color. I have a feeling that some of these are still going to pop up in the run up to July 22nd.
ugh, yeah. White is showing $106, but that's it. Going to DT it for now, but feel free to post it again or report if the deal goes live again.

Well, idk then. They're both under Mobile on the website. But what do they mean by category? Those terms don't say.
Your guess as good as mines but here are some data points.

1. I got a tab S11U ultra last Nov and then a S10 plus last week. Now I do see promotional prices for these tablets but when I add to cart the price jumps.

2. *After* I got S10 plus I was able to order two galaxy tab A 11 for someone with promo prices. So evidently, Tab As are a different category than Tab S.

3. I got galaxy watch 8 classic last Nov and then one couple of weeks ago. I still see promo prices but adding it to cart bumps the price.

4. I never ordered a phone from EPP so I can see the promo prices and can go all the way to checkout.

Do you think we'll see a $750 deal soon? I just started looking for a phone this week, so I really have no idea how big Samsung discounts usually get or how often they go on sale. Any advice would be appreciated!🙂

The $750 price was with PAYPAL160 coupon which comes out from time to time. The $750 direct from Samsung EDU/EPP might not come back but that's the price I'd get this phone given that you could have gotten it for $650 during release time from FI

Thanks for the insight! I really need to get a phone this month. I even thought about getting a used S25U (an eBay Certified Refurbished in Excellent condition is $610 BTW)...

Anyway, I think you're right that this deal isn't that good. Since I need one soon, do you think I should hold out for a better drop later this month, or just grab this Violet one now to be safe?

tried to call the 1800 # and they told me to wait 24-48 hours after trying to cock block me with bullshit answers about cache and other nonsense (which i had already done)

If you can get it for $831 but I think that is over now. The price is more than $1000 which is a lot more and deals like this will come back soon e.g. when Samsung releases fold/flip on 22nd so I'd wait

Thank you for checking the price for me!

I actually placed an order late last night (missed the 5% email sign-up code, so it came out to $875 😶). Still feeling pretty lucky though!

Since you mentioned the 22nd is worth waiting for, I think I'm going to contact FedEx to set up a Vacation Hold and push the delivery back as far as possible. I also plan to keep it sealed during the 15-day return window to avoid any restocking fees.

This way, the return due should be in August. I can peacefully wait and see what kind of deals drop on the 22nd. Though it's definitely going to be hard to resist the temptation for a whole month to open and play with the new phone🥴🥴.

Thanks again for the heads-up!
