Yes. They will even send you an email that says if you change your mind about the trade-in to just keep it and they will bill you $600.
My suggestion: buy a base model S10+ for $400-$500 and trade it in. Then sell your ceramic S10+ for whatever you can. Just make sure you buy and trade in a S10 PLUS if that's what you promised you would trade in.
That's what I did. I had a 512GB Note 9. I sold it for $600. Used that money to buy a 128GB Note 9 for $400. Now I'm trading in the cheaper Note 9 for $600 to Samsung. That's a $400 profit. Paired with my $200 gift card from Samsung for reserving and preordering the Note 10+, I'm basically getting a free N10+

Question about Samsung's BOGO deal where you activate T-Mobile line

So I just got two of my Galaxy S8+ today since I was able to buy it on time for the BOGO promotion where it offers a rebate up to $750 once you activate your T-Mobile line on one out of the two phones you buy. I'm just wondering since I bought to Galaxy S8+ and not a Galaxy s8 and a S8+ together, will the rebate still work. I know it's only up to $750 which will only leave $100 to fully pay off one of the S8+ while the other I gotta finance it monthly. Does anyone know if the rebate will still work? I have proof of my date of purchase for the promotion and I got it just in time. Thanks

Pre-order Samsung Trade in Value?

I thought all the reviews said up to $600 trade in but when I log in to do the pre-order the most I see is $450 for an S10+, and only offering $300 for my Note 9. What gives?
And the UK the opposite, banner says £350 max trade in but I was offered £400 for my Note 9!

I think it has to do with what carrier version you order. I ordered the Unlocked and got $600 for my Note 9.

Used $150 toward new Galaxy Watch down to $200 from $350 so, it will cost me $150 after the $50 bonus later on.
Traded in S10e for $600.
FUC$ING citibank keep blocking my charge! for fraud protection!
should have used a different credit card instead !

Best Buy gives you $600 for an S10+ - but the difference is, Samsung will also give you a $200 credit for accessories - so it is the same deal - just presented differently. I went with Best Buy. I don't need the accessories.

bestbuy give you 600$ for S10+
samsung give you 600$ for s10+ **PLUS** 200$ credits for accessories. i getting wireless galaxy bud (already have one from s10+ but it' free, why not), plus LED back cover for free.
UPDATE: i really like the wireless galaxy bud, it stays in my ears. the WIRED included ear buds always falling off my left ears. and those headset over your head makes my head hurts.

Samsung didn't offer me $600 - they offered $450. I got the branded ATT varient because it is more compatible with ATT enhanced services.
So for me - it was about the same as Samsung;s Deal - Plus you can only get that cool blue color from Best Buy - another plus for me - but maybe not for everyone.
If you like the Samsung deal better that's cool -

Well crap. I didn't see that. That means the Galaxy Watch wouldve been basically free for me. Oh well.
You guys are lucky.... 200$+ a value for your "old" phone...... Just simulated my "return", 100% NEW (from warranty) Note8 and they will refund me 310€ (347,42$) and NO acessories .......
The new Note 10+ (256GB) prices are around 1130€ (1266,69$) unlocked..... Carrier wise is the same price..... Definitly NOT worth it!!!!! Even with the possibility paying it in 24 months (for a phone!!!)....... Almost forgot that the wages here in PT are very, very,very low so its possible that more then 75% is sold on credit........
So if i want to upgrade i will have to wait untill xmas and hope that this will take a dive in price at that time, for now its just reading reviews and opinions.....

Try ordering with different browser, I couldn't complete my order on Firefox, was going back and forth and the "submit" button didn't work, kind of 'greyed out', I think I had that problem before(also Citibank), so I used Chrome and it went right through. Firefox may not have the right https security certification.

I'm in the same boat as you.
I was really disappointed that Samsung had the $450 offer for my AT&T S10+, and had $200 to buy more stuff, and I REALLY tried to find something they had listed but I just couldn't find anything. So I cancelled my order with Samsung and went the Best Buy route, thanks for the great tip! It makes a super expensive phone a little easier to get.
Awww, nothing for my Galaxy Note 3
I am being offered 280 eur for my Note 9 128MB. That is downright ****ty offer.

My question is will it matter if I have an international snapdragon variant to trade and does anybody know how and when I will have to trade it?
Edit - I'm in the US btw. I ordered the unlocked note 10 plus.

I don't think it matters to them, they only specify the model in general and talk about condition of the device. Am gonna take care of documenting the condition of my return with lots of pics, record Serial # etc. Someone said that Samsung outsourced the returns to 3rd party people, who knows where the returned stuff goes, but I am sure it's all for profit and they might try to 'stiff' us a little here and there to knock some bucks from the promised $600.
I found the details on trade in email from Samsung, we have to wait for now 'til we get the phones:
Quote: " For a limited time only, on Samsung.com/Shop Samsung App, pre-order or purchase a new qualifying Galaxy NOTE10 or NOTE10+ device ("Qualifying Purchase"), send in your qualifying trade-in device to Samsung through the Samsung Trade-In Program, and if Samsung determines your trade-in device meets all eligibility requirements, you will receive a trade-in credit specific to your qualifying trade-in device to apply toward your Qualifying Purchase. Device models that currently qualify for trade-in and trade-in credit amounts associated with those models are available on Samsung.com and the Shop Samsung App; eligible models and amounts may change at Samsung's sole discretion. To be eligible for trade-in, your qualifying device must meet all Trade-In Program eligibility requirements, which include, but are not limited to, that the device powers on, holds a charge, and does not power off unexpectedly; has a functioning display; has no breaks or cracks in the screen (unless a cracked screen offer applies); has no breaks or cracks in the case; has no liquid damage (whether visible or not); has no other defects that go beyond normal wear and tear; is not on a black list; has a verified FCC ID; has been reset to factory settings; has all personal information removed; has all software locks disabled; and is owned by you (leased devices are not eligible). Anticipated trade-in value will be applied as a credit at time of purchase, but, if you do not send in your trade-in device within 15 days of receipt of your Qualifying Purchase, you will be charged back for the trade-in credit applied to your purchase, or if you send in your trade-in device within 15 days of receipt of your Qualifying Purchase but Samsung determines your device does not meet all eligibility requirements, you will be charged back for the trade-in credit applied to your purchase minus $25. Participation in this program does not excuse you from contracts with your carrier or retailer (or any related payments or fees) for the device that was traded in. Limit 1 trade-in per Qualifying Purchase. Samsung reserves the right to modify or discontinue this offer at any time. The Trade-In Program cannot be combined with any other Samsung, carrier or retailer promotions, discounts, or offers unless specifically provided for in the terms and conditions of such offers. Additional terms, including terms that govern the resolution of disputes, apply."

Used Retail Prices are dropping

I don't lease or make monthly payments on phones. I always sell my phones and just add $300 to my recent sale to buy a new phone. I currently have the Note 10. I originally purchased it through Samsung for the $600 off trade in. However, just a week after being released I was able to get a Note 10 for $750. So returned my Samsung Note and purchased one from an alternative website. I then sold my S10 for $500. Well today the Note 10 is selling for $600 or $650 used.
This is the 1st phone I have owned that had declined in price by more than 30% in a month. I'm just shocked.
where did you find Note10 for 600?

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.

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.

Question Disappointing U.S. trade-in offers for S22 Ultra to upgrade to S23 Ultra

Last year, when I traded in my Galaxy S21 Ultra to get an unlocked Galaxy S22 Ultra on Samsung.com, I got a $1,000 trade-in pre-order deal, which meant I only paid about $250 for my Galaxy Ultra S22. The S23 series was just announced, so I looked at the Samsung site to see what trade-in deals they had for an unlocked S23 Ultra. Pretty underwhelming. Only $500 for an S22 Ultra, which would bring the cost to about $700. Sure, you get 512 GB for the price of 256 GB, but I don't really care about that (256 GB is plenty for me). If I could upgrade to S23 Ultra for about $250 to $300, I'd pre-order it in a heartbeat, but not at $700.
Bummer! (I know, first-world "problem"... ).

If you're ordering from the US, there's an additional $500 instant discount, not sure if this is available in other countries or, how long the offer is in effect.
I guess it's Samsung's way of pushing people to pull the trigger, FOMO on the $500 instant discount. Yeah, I agree, those trade in offers on their own are pathetic, you're better off checking out a carrier model vs unlocked direct from Samsung.
If you want 12GB RAM, moving up to the 512GB (or 1TB) storage option is necessary, as the 256GB storage option only has 8GB RAM.
No kidding. This really pissed me off. I thought I had missed something. Now not so sure I will switch up.

It'll be applied once you select color/storage/trade-in. (on unlocked models only, you'll see the message right above where you select Yes/No for trade-in). The carrier models have a different trade-in allowance, you'll see different messaging in the same spot.
You'll see the pre-tax price at the bottom of the screen before you check out.

It's the same $500 trade in price that they're referring as "total instant credit". There's no additional $500 discount other than the trade in discount reflected in the pre tax price.
it is really amusing for me to read about people complaining about things as op does, I have always paid the full price for all my devices, looking for those trade in, or signing never ending contracts looks to me like a pain the ass, better, you pay for your phone, walk out of the store, and that's it
It's not a $500 instant discount. I'd get a $500 trade-in discount for my Galaxy S22 Ultra to get an unlocked Galaxy S23 Ultra straight from Samsung. That's way worse than last year, when I got $1,000 to trade in my Galaxy S21 Ultra to get the Galaxy S22 Ultra. I'd have to pay about $700 now to trade in my Galaxy S22 Ultra for the S23 Ultra. That's simply not worth it to me. Had it been $300 or so, like last year, I would have done it, but not $700. Ah well, would have been nice, but my S22 Ultra is still a great phone.

Yeah, we're talking about the same thing,$500 + whatever device you're trading in for an unlocked model.
I'm guessing the $500 instant credit isn't going to be around much longer, if at all, past the pre-order period that ends on 2/17/2023.
My apologies if my choice of words led anyone to believe there was any other additional $500 discount.

I'm curious what you do with your older phones if you're not trading them in. Samsung for the most part (not including this year) offered great values for trade ins in good working condition which means less headaches and hassle which is normally the case when you try to sell it yourself. Unless you're the exception and rock multiple phones as your daily driver.

What never-ending contracts? This isn't about contracts, simply the phone itself. I'm specifically talking about buying an unlocked phone straight from Samsung, not tied to any carrier. That's basically the online version of "pay for your phone, walk out the store, and that's it" like you do. Use it with any carrier. I, for one, prefer to pay as little as possible for a phone, so if I can get a great trade-in discount like last year, I'm all in.
I was simply comparing this year's S23U trade-in offer to last year's S22U, and it's way worse than last year. Last year, I got way more for my phone as a trade-in than I would ever be able to get selling it on Craig's List or OfferUp. That's definitely not the case this year. I'll hang on to my S22 Ultra longer, which is totally fine with me.
you got it wrong, I spoke in general, about you, I was referring about the cumbersome procedure of sending the phone, waiting for them to judge for what ammount they assess it, etc. I just pay for the phone at the store and presto! , I never sell the phones I have used, I use them 2 or 3 years
yeah I`m with GoogleFI and I preordered through there, 600.00 instant discount and free upgrade to 512gb storage for the same price as the 256gb just like what samsung doing on there webiste, all I have too do is keep it activate on GooglefF for 120 days, so it was $635.99 total for the 512gb green color.
Edit: also the samsung phones on google fi are the unlocked versions.

Exactly my feelings and situation right now. Pathetic game by Samsung. I was waiting all these days for the launch and willingness to upgrade. With just $500 for my s22u this doesn't make a sense at all to switch. S22u is so fast that any faster won't matter. It clicks good images too. With 700 plus taxes its not a worthy upgrade. Had it been around 350 usd i would have jumped into the wagon

What particularly irks me is that you get a higher trade-in discount for a previous-generation iPhone 13 Pro Max than their own Galaxy S22 Ultra. Awesome way to reward brand loyalty.
The S23 will be just like all other phones.. People will buy them. Then not long after haveing it, they will complain about how bad the camera is. Or O Samsung dropped the ball, this phone is no differnet than bla bla bla before it.. I prchase my S22 Ultra back in April of last year.. I paid in full $1400. It does what I need it to do, Call, Text, Surf, email.. That is all I need it for.. Unless the phone can do the following 1. Brush my teeth, 2. flush the toilet, or 3. cook me dinner.. I will not be purchasing a new phone until at least this one dies.
BTW Iphones are like Toyota's they hold their value.. Samsung is like American cars. Pay high price, then watch the value drop, one you leave the store.

Or O Samsung dropped the ball, this phone is no differnet than bla bla bla before it.. I prchase my S22 Ultra back in April of last year.. I paid in full $1400. It does what I need it to do, Call, Text, Surf, email.. That is all I need it for.. Unless the phone can do the following 1. Brush my teeth, 2. flush the toilet, or 3. cook me dinner.. I will not be purchasing a new phone until at least this one dies.
BTW Iphones are like Toyota's they hold their value.. Samsung is like American cars. Pay high price, then watch the value drop, one you leave the store.

totally agree with you, even my beloved galaxy note 7 performed very well after 4 years of use, when somebody stole it from my son, the things is, some people have unrealistic expectations about the latest premium devices, I try to get all the pertinent info before buying , I have had Sammsung devices since the S3, after, I moved to the note series, now I returned to the S, just because the ultra model is the new note
Watching this thread, looking for best deal??? Yeah, Samsung is not giving any good deals when I looked. Better yet, I have tmobile, when I went to see what trade in was for my s22 ultra was. unbelievable $150!!!!! Are they nuts??????

Yep not a very good deal on Samsung website. Even with my perkspot discount I will end up paying around $700 for 512 GB. But then I saw email from my carrier, Google Fi. They are giving me 512 GB version for $600 plus $300 trade-in value for Galaxy S22 Ultra. So, I guess it's pretty good deal for me through Fi. In the end I'll only end up paying $300.

That's why, if it still works, and if the S23 does not have anything breath taking comepared to the S22. Then why in the world would people want to get a new phone.
