I keep seeing people mention this deal saying you get extra trade in credit but when I added it all to the cart with $525 s25U trade in this is the message I see at checkout:
"Your order qualifies for a promotional Amazon Gift Card, which will be automatically added to your Gift Card Balance after the order ships. You will receive an email once your Gift Card is available. This offer is subject to our Terms and Conditions.
Pay the full price when your order ships. After we receive and verify your trade-in device(s) within 10 business days, we'll credit your Amazon Limited Time rebate(s) totaling $300.00 (plus applicable taxes) to your original payment method or installment balance, and your trade-in value, up to $525.00 total, will be added to your account as Amazon.com gift card(s)."
So if I'm reading this correctly you get $300 off the phone back to your payment but then the actual trade in value of your phone just gets added as a gift card??? I would rather just get money off the phone and not bother with almost $900 in amazon gift cards
go with Samsung A16 bought new from Amazon for $50. you'll get back $35 and $300
I found the $50 postpaid verizon phone. Postpaid shouldn't matter right? I think this a dam good deal for normal amazon shoppers where Amazon GC just as good as cash.
Traded in my broken Fold 5 (black-dot on the inner screen):
$400 rebate
$130 trade value
$350 gift card
$210 cash back Amazon prime card
Total credit: $1090
Paid: $2298
Out of pocket including tax = $1208
Fold 8 256GB Ultra

Earn 10% back on this item when you pay with your Prime Visa
I bought the Fold 8 on Amazon and just checked my card statement, but they only gave me 5% in rewards, NOT 10%.
Where should I go to complain about this?
It seems better than tmobile's upgrading deal at least... not sure I want to fork out $1100 for a phone still but.. I am using my ms duo 1 still as a night entertainment small pad... the shape is similar but just two separate screens.

You've been around way to long to know these are important.

For fold8, you get an extra $300 with trade in, $350 GC, and 10% cashback if amazon credit card used.
With iphone 16e trade, the phone cost is $785 plus tax = $1,900 - 275 iphone 16e - 300 extra trade in - 350 amazon gc - 190 10% amazon credit card cb.
This will be a good deal if you have amazon credit card, you shop at amazon, and trade in phone.
