They've had this offer since last month but its online only so don't expect the local stores to honor it.

This deal also applies to new customers only.... ugh.

Yes you are correct about the lack of contracts, however you can still be a new or existing customer on T-Mobile. I bought this phone for my mom on our family plan and she was not eligible for the free charger (or free anything for that matter) because we were not "signing up" on T-Mobile, just simply upgrading her phone.

my parents have been t-mobile customers since the 96 never changed and my dad got a free accecory whith his s4

If you upgrade in a store you should be able to get freebies. When I got my Nexus early in the year I got a free car charger and free Skullcandy headphones. Last week my wife got the galaxy s3 LTE edition and she got an extra wall charger, body glove case and a power bank all for free. Don't be afraid to ask "so if I get the phone today are there any free accessories with it?"

true today i went to t-mobile and my cousin bought a white nexus 4 they gave him 2 free accesories cuz he paid in full he got the screen protectors and a case for his girlfriends s4 t-mobile can be really nice sometines but sometimes they can be a pain in the neck

i got one
I just went in for my upgrade on monday and i got a free wireless charger in store

I had a mixed bag this week with t-mobile. After being told over the phone that the nexus wasn't available for current customers right now at all (I'd called because it wasn't showing up online) and hung up on when i protested i swore i would never buy anything from them again.
2 days later my gnex ate it and I was forced to go into the store. Not only was he happy to sell me a nexus 4 but I also got the charger and a case for free.
I can't put my phone down long enough for the charger to be useful for me though. So it's now on ebay. When it sells it'll be like getting a free phone and $30 cash.....and then only having to pay $17 a month for 2 years... should wipe out the price difference between t-mobile and the play store though.

is this the stock google wireless charging ORB? i have that cheap chinese POWERQI charger, got it for like 40bucks shipped, its a POS! u get what u pay for i guess
it doesn't keep the the phone topped up charge, so if you forget to take it off the chager after 2-3 hours, you'll only get like 80% , not 100%

I went to a Verizon store and picked up the WCP-300 for $40 + tax and I love it. I haven't had a bit of trouble with it, and now I'm using it in the car with that cradle that was designed for it (before that I used a rubber band to hold it on my regular car cradle).

I went to T-mobile during the sale just because of this offer to upgrade to the Nexus 4 from my SGS3 and they said that "In order to get the wireless charger accessory with my purchase I had to be a 'new t-mobile customer'. After spending about 2 hours on hold trying to reach a Customer Service representative on the phone, I finally gave up and just bought the device from T-mobile without the accessory the next day, but not before they decided to raise the price of the nexus 4 $5..
Has anyone had any luck getting the charger as a returning customer?

BestBuy Matches Samsung Rewards Offer

Just wanted to drop a quick line here to tell you all that BestBuy will accept and match the 50% off any $50 accessory coupon you get from Samsung after registering the device. Best of all, it doesnt use up your coupon code (Note sure if the codes are unique or not) so you could reuse it on Samsung's website later. Options are slim right now, but I did just pick up an S-View case for mine for $26 after taxes. Unless you go for the non-Samsung knock offs, you wont find them for a better price.
Take care all!

based on my experiences with BB, it is definitely YMMV, especially when there's a coupon involved.

Yeah, it really depends on the associates. If you tweet out to Best Buy Support, you'll get an official answer via policy. But if a store wants to drive accessory revenue or something, then they will make exceptions.
Source: Work at BBY.

This will be great if I can get it done on my local BB since I really wanted Samsung Protective Case which is sold out online. But knowing my local BB..... I'll probably be turned down even if I got the Note 4 there few days ago.

How would one go about obtaining this price match deal? I really want the plum red s-view case which my best buy has in stock but I don't want to pay the preposterous price of 50$ for it? Thanks for any assistance

To up your chances, bring a webpage printout of the offer along with the terms and conditions. Show it to the person checking you out and you'll have a good chance. As always, YMMV with retailers.

I take it this is US only? No such deal for Canadians?

definitely YMMV. I took my print out there, and they told me to pound sand.

So is this offer real. I would love to see if they take it for smart watches.

Samsung $150 promo question

So I avail the $600 trade in promo of my S10+ to Note 10+ unlocked and have $150 promo. Ised it to buy 3 Note 10+ cases and still have around $25 balance, now i want to use it but couldn't find it on my Samsung acct. Is it gone or it's just a one time use? Thanks

If you just buy the phone and not use any amount of that $150, then Samsung would send you coupon code, but when you pick at least 1 accessory, then there is no coupon code. - I think it is gone. You can try Samsung support, but from my experience it is pretty much useless.
I did experiment with few different options before actually ordering.
1) I picked Note 10, then picked which phone to trade in and on accessory screen, I said not to the notification box. Then the message said "we will just send you the code" and this $150 coupon card indeed was as an item in my cart for later use.
2) I picked Note 10, then picked which phone to trade in and on accessory screen, I picked 1 case and nothing else. My cart included: Note 10, trade in device and the case I picked.
3) I picked Note 10, then picked which phone to trade in and on accessory screen, I picked couple of cases and wireless portable battery charger to make it up to that $150

You can order anything on Shop Samsung I think, not just phone items.

It is a one time use. I reserved pre-ordered and got the additional $50, so I have $200 to use in one shot. I'll probably end up going over. However I'm also trying to hold off until they release the Samsung Marvel Smart Cases for the Note 10+. I want that Iron Man case.

I just preordered 2 through AT&T and I am wondering the same thing. The only thing AT&T told me was they were waiving the activation, which I alreadyget through their signature program discount through my employer. So not much of a promo there for me.

I ordered direct from Sammy and received at $150 freebie accessory purchase and then another email with an additional $50 deduct for the pre-registration. Sammy also throws in 6 mos of Spotify and 4 months of YouTube premium.

Same here Gargamel. Ordered At&t at midnight. I saw something about HBO...lol what! Who cares give us something useful

Got this same promo when they opened up ordering.

I ordered from Samsung. Got 550 of my Note 9, 200 dollar credit to be used on the site, 6 months of spotify and 4 months of youtube premium. I find it interesting when I preordered I got 200 dollars, yet they are now giving a 150 dollar credit.

if you use Rakuten app or the plug in for chrome.
you can get 10% cashback but you cant use that extra 50$ credit.
but you still getting 100$ credit for note20 and 150$ ultra note20.
i ordered ultra note20, i'm supposed to get back 67$, that' more than that 50$ credit.

After you pre-ordered, did you get the extra $50 or a little while after? I just pre-ordered 2 phones and got 150 for ultra and 100 for 5g, att USA.

No, it never show there's a 50$ credit.

I read somewhere that you can get the 150 off accessories even if you preorder from a carrier. Not 100% if that's true or not.

Vodafone gives galaxy buds live.

ATT is running a hell of a deal, i have an S9+ and they offered me $1000 for an upgrade on an unlimited plan. I was already signed onto the Unlimited Elite, so upgrading to the Note 20 Ultra for $10 a month for 30 months on the promo pricing was worth it.
Dont know if its for everyone or just those with the old corporate FANs, i still have my old Sears Holdings fan attached to my account. Its like a collector's item these days.

When I pre-registered to pre-order, I got a $50 credit. Then when I pre-ordered I got an additional $150 credit, and I now have $200 credit. Both of those were described in emails from Samsung.

I just saw the AT&T deal. I immediately canceled my Samsung preorder and got it from AT&T. Thats a hell of a trade in deal for my note 9.

Just ordered the big dog 512 gb using the trade in program, getting $550 for my note 9 and also got $200 credit. Total came to less than $1k so I'm pretty happy

Here in the UK, a pre-order will get you a choice of either the new Xbox Game Pass Bundle (3-month membership, MOGA XP5 -X+ controller & wireless charger) with the Galaxy Note20 or Galaxy Note20 Ultra
or
A pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds+ in white (Galaxy Note 20) or the new Galaxy Buds Live (Galaxy Note 20 Ultra)
That's a pretty good offer!
.

Heads up
For those of you taking advantage of the 1,000 off from ATT, there are some things to think about..
You have to pay the device off or use the Next Up plan to be able to upgrade before the 30 month period. If you upgrade without NextUp, you will owe the payments in full, because the credits are only applied on a monthly basis.
If you use Next Up, you cannot use the Note 20 Ultra in another trade in deal. So if they do another 1,000 off next year for the new note, you wont be able to get that, you'll have to use the Next Up and pay the full payment plan of the new phone going forward (somewhere between 40 and 50 bucks per month).
The workaround to this is to buy a different phone second hand that hits the minimum trade in value for ATT. So you would trade in the Note 20 Ultra for the Next Up (this would satisfy the payment plan you are currently on without canceling all the credits, then you would trade in the second hand phone you purchased to get the 1,000 off or whatever the deal ends up being next time around.
Sorry if this seemed obvious to some, but this is kind of where they get you in the long run. If you plan on having the phone for 30 months, no big deal at all, but I tend to get a new one each year.

That makes sense, thanks. I tend to keep my phone for 2+ years (I have the Note 9 now) and I usually may them off way before. I would just use another trade in offer in 2 years and that may be with another carrier or Samsung.
Last time I used Samsung to get the Note 9 because they had the best trade in deal.

Where to buy (In US) : Another way to Order : Most People don't know this

Hi All,
Sorry for not posting this earlier and i feel this deserves a thread of its own.
Recently after my buying experience on various different portals, Bestbuy, B&H, Samsung website and T-Mobile US, where most places were out of stock or taking too long to deliver ( I wanted an Ultra 512 GB version), I discovered that Microsoft offered the best buying experience. I am speaking only for Note 20 / Note 20 Ultra buying experince for other things BestBuy etc may be good.
Here is the link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/s...cked/8x2r1c53kbms?activetab=pivot:overviewtab
Or to configure directly go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sto...s&selectedColor=9A716E&preview=&previewModes=
I had ordered mine and and received it rather quickly (4 Days, due to labor day weekend) and when Samsung reduced the price they even refunded me.
Hope this helps anyone who is as impatient as me.
Enjoy.

I did find the trade in, but you have to already purchased and have your new Note 20 in your hands to even start a trade in, because it asks for the new IMEI# of your Note 20 ultra and u have to put that in to even start the trade in, to me is kind dumb lol

I agree. i guess there are plenty people who exploit loopholes like send in a device and then not by anything. Trade ins rely a lot on what device you are buying. Other way people can exploit is click trade in get discount and never send the old device. There is always a way around let them choose trade in during buying process and refund after they receive the trade in device but them being them what can i say.
FYI - for Note 8 they are giving $250 back, so Note 9 and 10 must be higher than that.

I was responding to the Canadian who suggested it was a good option for us - but the Microsoft Canada site has them at full price ($1819 CDN = $1381 US) for the 128 GB N20 Ultra - whereas we can get the HK SM-N9680 (dual-SIM, 256 GB) for $1350 CDN (= $1025 US). The Microsoft site seems like a good option for you if you want the North American single-SIM 128 GB model.

I just placed an order with amazon. They have them in stock and it'll be here in 2 days. Hopefully all goes well.

Congrats on deciding to take the leap. I am sending mine back. I was noticing yellow tints so i reduced the color temperature from the display settings but today i decided to compare my Note 8 and Note 20 Ultra boy o boy that 3 year old phone has a better display. On comparison i found green tint on my Note 20 Ultra. I suggest you do the same when you receive your phone to to compare it side by side with another display. i also noticed Note 20 Ultra to lack in Sharpness and Contrast (I am sure and its not a placebo). Both the phones were on WQHD resolution and i checked them on full, mid, lowest and auto brightness.
Check yours when you get it.

Hopefully that's not with all of them. I do remember back in the galaxy 8 days there was a pink tint issue that was addressed with an update. I gave my one plus 7 pro to a coworker who's phone broke and I miss it. It's been why I was holding out on the note 20 ultra. I wanted to see what the 8T Pro was going to be but it looks like there will be no 8T Pro. If this one doesn't pan out it will definitely be back to OnePlus for the 8 Pro or 8T.
EDIT: it arrived yesterday in new unopened condition from amazon. So far it works perfectly and I can't notice any off tones in the screen. The screen looks great. I installed an LK flexible film screen protector (same as I had on oneplus 7 pro) and you can even tell it's there. Now to wait for the correct case to come in as I accidentally ordered one for the note 20 and not the ultra after sifting through the possibilities.
