Just read today that on 7/19 sprint will be doing BOGO on Galaxy S3 and S4.
Offer valid on new accounts and upgrade eligible lines. So you buy one S4 at regular price and get a second one Free!

I am sure amazon and every other retailer on line will smash that deal, they will would probably offer it for 100 or so.
Same with the htc one, sprint dropped the price to 200, and amazon has it for 50 dollars now..
That great

Yea but sprint doesn't compete with online retailers. Most companies can't.
And the HTC one has always been 200 since the day it was released.
But there are ways a new customer can get an HTC one or S4 completely free.

Best buy always has various great deals the one for the HTC One is good right now. $99 for the One trade in your old phone and put the amount toward the One and get a $50 gift card for Best Buy. The S4 had a deal a week ago. I will never buy from anywhere but Best Buy from now on and the last place would be from Sprint. They screw me over on my data enough I don't need there ridiculous prices and activation fees and about 1/3 the price for trading in your phone as Best Buy.

What makes you think you don't get charged activation/upgrade fees from Best Buy? Read the contract.
A Sprint store would offer discounts on accessories with a phone purchase, Best Buy does not.
A Sprint store will take the time to educate the customer on their new phone, Best Buy does not.
A Sprint store will assist the customer with applying or re-validating their discount, Best Buy does not.
A Sprint store has access National Sales Support (NSS) to resolve complicated issues, Best Buy does not.
1/3 the price on Buy Back? Where do you get that info from? Sure, Best Buy MAY give you a little more for your phone than a Sprint store will, but we're talking maybe $20 tops. Sprint follows a national AVERAGE for Buyback value on phones.
Sprint stores can also offer different credits and discounts to beat Best Buy prices, such as the $100 port-in credit, or the ability to get $100 off any phone if you sign up for Sprint's Home Phone Connect service. I had a customer the other day who walked out with a FREE Galaxy S4 and free accessories... he had an iPhone 5 from Verizon and cancelled his Verizon contract. He got $100 for keeping his Verizon number, and another $100 for signing up for the Phone Connect... so that's a free S4 right there. Then he traded in his iPhone 5 for a $245 credit and used that money to buy a bunch of stuff for his new phone. Total out the door cost = FREE.
Best Buy can't match everything we do, as Sprint corporate won't allow it.
Hey Ryan, do you think you could explain how this deal works? Do we need two valid upgrade lines or can I walk in the store with my upgrade and walk out with two s4's?

Yes, you need two VALID lines. You must meet 1 of these 3 qualifications:
1) Be a new customer activating at least 2 new lines of service.
2) Be an upgrade eligible customer upgrading at least 2 new lines of service.
3) Be an upgrade eligible customer upgrading at least 1 line of service and adding at least 1 new line.
Any of those scenarios will qualify you for the BOGO offer.

Hmm..this sounds like a cool deal. I switched my line from ATT about 2 days ago. I was gonna wait till next month to switch my wife's line over to Sprint. But if they would let me get a free S4 for her considering I just started service a couple days ago, that'll be great. But I doubt they will go for it...but I'll definitely call and try to get this deal next week when its made public...

Won't work. When the store processes the phone in SNAP, your line would be a service when it has to be a new or upgrade. So even IF the store personnel didn't know what they were doing and gave you the in-store credit, Sprint themselves would not pay the store back for the credit because the BOGO offer was done wrong.
The only way you can do this is if you add TWO more lines of service. Then just give the 3rd S4 to someone else or something.

If he just does it now it would be the same...considering he has ports he would get two s4's now for 199 either way. Doing it now would be the logical choice.
It could technically be done next week because he is within 14 days...but would be a pita to do AND keep his number

Buddy you got all the wrong information. I work for Best Buy Mobile, and we do all of that.
Buy any case upto 24.99 get a zaggshield HD or car charger for only $10. OR all 3 for just $50
Buy any case upto 34.99 get a Zaggsheild HD or car charger for only $10 Or all 3 for $60
We price match accessories to any online or store retailer, including the $50 Otterbox's for $25 that are on sale at Amazon. And most of the time if you ask if you can give a discount on a case or charger, mobile manager or sales leads can give you a "customer satisfaction" discount.
I don't think any carrier store spends as much time with a single customer as we do at BBYM. We do not work on commission and don't rush you out of the store to get to the next customer to make money off of them and rush them out. There have been times where I have had older customers come into the store and I've spend an hour with them just educating them about the technology, finding out what their needs are, what they plan on using the phones for, and all of the different pricing options, plans etc. then another hour setting the phones up for them, google, corporate email accounts, apps, showing them how to work it and etc.
True we can't do the $100 credit for new service/bringing your number from another carrier, but Our system we use does allow us to search for corporate discounts to apply to the customers account.
And we do have NSS access to Sales Support for issues that may come up, and trust me, Sprint is the one that usually has the most issues with phones not wanting to update and activate and prl and profile updates not going through, also we have our Sprint Account Manager just a phone call away if there are issues that need immediate attention that calling NSS can't resolve as far as phones not activating due to still being on another account or Bad ESN's that need to be taken care of to reactivate for the customer.
As far as our protection plan, the best in the industry, $9.99 a month (a dollar cheaper than Sprint) with $0 deductible and UNLIMITED Claims. Although we do not cover loss of theft, but then that's why we have zero deductible and unlimited claims. As long as you have your phone, whatever is wrong with it, (cracked, broken, dropped in toilet, charger, battery, charge port) we'll take care of it. As for Iphones go, we now even replace the glass In Store. And if you have our Geek Squad Protection you automatically get our Trade-In Plus for free, and that will give you an additional $50 on top the trade in value of the phone.

Lol okay. You sound like a Sprint employee for sure. Just speaking from my personal experience. I got $262.50 credit from Best Buy for my S3 Sprint was going to give me $106. I'm not going to argue but simply reiterate that Best Buy is a way better place to buy products, and insurance etc.

I'm going on information I have on hand, where I live our Best Buy sucks and I've been told that by customers many times. People tell me it's just like RadioShack, where yea they'll sell you a phone and if you're lucky they'll transfer contacts for it, but that's it. And the reason is BECAUSE you don't work on commission... a LOT of salespeople have no motivation to go the extra mile. They make a base pay and that's it. If they deal with 20+ customers a day, each one ending with the same result, then where's the drive to be the best? If you can't LOSE money as a sales rep, then you shouldn't call yourself a salesman IMHO. In that case you're just a customer service guy.
People have commission all wrong and it cracks me up when I see the Best Buy commercials that say you guys don't work on commission. Commission is what motivates salesmen to do a good job. Say a customer comes in my store and buys 4 new phones and I make $100 off that single transaction... it's my JOB to make sure they're 100% satisfied, because if they're not they have every right to return those phones and then I lose the commission, so now I just wasted time AND lost money because I half ass job. A typical single line upgrade will last about 45 minutes with us. We don't rush, and if we have customers waiting we simply set the expectations, tell them how long we'll be, and invite them to come back later so they don't have to wait. We go over ever aching detail from contact, picture, video, email, ringtone transfers to customer education. Then afterwards, the customer gets a CSAT call where they get to rate us. If our CSAT score is too low, we lose even more money off our commission. So once again, the result is that if you're dealing with a salesman who's pay and lively hood is directly effected by your (the customer's) level of satisfaction, then why do people assume commission-based salesmen don't do their job? Makes no sense.
But I digress.. Don't get me wrong bud, I am certainly NOT saying you do a bad job. If your particular Best Buy is a good one, and you in particular do an awesome job in phone sales, then that's great. I'm simply saying ours is not a good store, and the people there don't really give a crap.
Also, our accessory deals are pretty good. We do almost the same thing as you... buy any case for $29.99 or less and we'll bundle screen protectors and a car charger for a flat $40. We simply don't offer Zagg's because we don't believe in wet application screen protectors. OtterBox's are a big seller for us, and if you buy a Defender you don't need a Zagg anyway. We can't really match Amazon pricing for OtterBox because we're a preferred retailer, but we'll take a Defender down to $39.99 if we have too and still make a bundle deal.

NEW customer?
If you port your number to Sprint from a different carrier you will get $100 in-store credit. If you sign up for the Home Phone Connect on top of that you'll get another $100 in-store credit. That means you can get an S4 for only $50 in store, but then you get a $50 mail-in rebate. So after everything is said and done, you get a free GS4.

The current offer is get $100 off when porting in, I assume you did this on your Att port in 2 days ago. This offer expires the day before the new offer starts. Just do that now for her line as it nets the same total cost as the bogo.

It's pretty straight forward.
Best buy makes money by selling contracts not phone. So they have no intention to sell this off contract and put some crazy number. They could as well put 1 million dollar.

I believe the fine print says they only match contract prices, not non-contract...
Best Buy also sets insane prices on their inventory that hasn't been released yet. So it is not certain this is the final price.
Best Buy doesnt price match cell phones...I bought a droid maxx for my wife for 499 at verizon store, i went to best buy first to see if they price match and the manager there said cell phones dont qualify for price match
Best Buy has updated the price to $449 to match Sprint's price. As I suspected, it was just a placeholder.
Sprint doesn't have a cheaper plan if you bring your own device do they?
Seems dumb. If you want sprint, why not sign a 2 year and get the phone for $50....

I think it's only $50 if you switch from another carrier. It's $150 for upgrades.
Negri has the D820 for $459.50 and $524.50 for 16GB/32GB. International D821 for $70 more. Or, they will on the 8th if they don't give the same runaround as the Note 3 for T-Mobile.

Since this is a BB thread and my gift card pretty much means I have to buy it there, figured I'd share the fine print of the price match deal:
At the time of purchase, we will match the current pre-tax price for new, identical, immediately available products from a local retail competitor's store and these designated major online retailers: Amazon.com, Apple.com, Bhphotovideo.com, Crutchfield.com, Dell.com, Frys.com, hhgregg.com, HP.com, HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com, Newegg.com, OfficeDepot.com, OfficeMax.com, Rakuten.com Shopping, Sears.com, Staples.com, Target.com, TigerDirect.com and Walmart.com. We will match prices between our stores and BestBuy.com®. We will also match prices post purchase if we lower our price within 15 days of your purchase.
The Guarantee is limited to one price match per identical item, per guest and does not apply to: Contract mobile phones sold by any online retailer, the online prices of retailers not listed, the online prices of third party vendors (Marketplace vendors) on designated major online retailers websites, post purchase price match requests to competitor's prices, Best Buy for Business™, offers that include financing, gift card offers, bundling of items, free items, pricing errors, mail-in offers, coupon offers, competitor's service prices, items that are advertised as limited-quantity, out of stock, open-box, clearance, refurbished/used items, our and our competitor's Deal of the Day, daily deals, special hour sale event items and credit card offers, BestBuy.com Clearance & More and Marketplace items, and items for sale Thanksgiving Day through the Monday after Thanksgiving.

So basically even if they WERE willing to match Google's $349 and build your contract around that price (which would come out to $50), Google.com doesn't fall into the group of websites they're willing to match in the first place. There ARE however two interesting wrinkles here: For starters, while they won't match ONLINE contract phone prices, print ads are fair game. Secondly, from BB's faq on price matching:
How do I request a price match from a Best Buy retail store?
When making a purchase, or during the return and exchange period after your purchase from a Best Buy retail store, please talk to a Customer Specialist or go to the Customer Service desk for help with your price match request

The return window is 15 days, so if you see any print ad selling it for less during the two weeks after you buy it, you can just go back in to BestBuy with your receipt and they'll give you back the difference (excluding any black friday specials).

HEY GUYS, JUST WANED TO REPORT THAT I'VE RECEIVED AN EMAIL BACK FROM PRIZELOGIC WITH THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:
"Dear _______, Thank you for your inquiry. Your submission has been received and approved. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. Thank you, PrizeLogic Support"
UPDATE: Nov. 11th 2014 --- As many of you have reported, this morning I've also received the "Approved," email. Great stuff! Here is a link to what the approved email and trade-in confirmation looks like. Thanks aznmode.
:good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good:
================================================
So I just clicked on the option to mail in the receipts.
Promo URL: https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/Note4/
HOW IT WORKS:
Get a Guaranteed Total Trade-In of $200* on Any Working Smartphone.
Preorder the Samsung Galaxy Note® 4 from any carrier or retailer in the U.S. now through 10/16 (Verizon customers through 10/22).
Trade in any working smartphone at a participating retailer (minimum $10 trade in value).
Starting 10/10, come back to this site to submit your preorder and trade-in information. Must submit preorder and trade-in information by 11/30/14 at 11:59:59 PM ET. Best Buy customers go in-store to redeem instantly.
Enter your contact information (name, email address, phone number, mailing address (P.O. Boxes are not permitted) and date of birth).
Enter your device’s HEX MEID or IMEI number and Wi-Fi MAC address.
(Applications > Settings > General > About Device > Status)
Upload both preorder and trade-in receipts for validation.
The highlights in RED are what I'll be clarifying:
[I went into the TM store, called Samsung directly 3 times, Live chatted with them and spent half the day trying to get to the bottom of this.]
Can you trade in any working smart phone?
YES, as long as your smart phone is working, BUT the device must be eligible to receive at least $10 as a trade in. Bring your smart phone into a TM store or call them to get a trade in value amount -OR- if you'll be buying the phone from Best Buy, Walmart, Radio Shack or any other participating retailer, bring your old smart phone to them to find out your trade in amount. If any of them will give you more than $10 for your old phone, then you're all good to go. If not, then .... well go buy the cheapest eligible smart phone that you know for sure can get $10 trade in value from TM or any of the participating retailers. What is $200 worth to you? So what if you have to buy a beater eligible smart phone for $50....you're still in the plus $150. No brainer.
Ok what now?
Once you've confirmed that your smart phone trade in is over $10, then you need to obviously pre-order the phone at TM (store/phone/online) or at any of the participating retailers. Best Buy is actually the best because if you're buying your N4 with them, the $200 credit is instant where you can apply it to the purchase price of the N4. (Someone confirm this, but I think Samsung (kiosk/store) that's inside Best Buy don't have TM?) Anyhow, whoever you pre-order from, you will obviously get a receipt for the pre-order......????
What the heck is a trade in receipt?
If you're like the many who have pre-ordered online/phone/store with T-Mobile, you are not alone in scratching your head in trying to figure out what the heck a valid trade in receipt is. What is it exactly that we need to upload? When you pre-order with T-Mobile in the store, they will take your trade in right there and then and that info. should be printed on the transaction receipt. If you are ordering online/phone with T-Mobile, you will receive the Agreement emailed to you with a break down of the cost of your N4. You can then go into your myT-Mobile account and see the pre-paid shipping label included which contains the quote info. This I think you can use to submit the promo offer. So the question about the 'trade in receipt' ??? I think this is it....
Update: According to the TM rep, he said that once the N4 ships out that I will receive a receipt with the trade in value info on that piece of paper. Really? We'll have to wait and see. TM rep's weren't very familiar with the Samsung pro....
So the big mysterious question is: What the heck is a VALID trade in receipt??? Because come the 10th....what do we upload?!
Let it fly guys...please keep it clean and precise.
My main concern is with how this promotion is handled with JUMP. Do you have any additional hoops to jump through?
Thank you for starting this thread.
I was also scratching my head about the trade-in receipt. The TMO rep printed out a screenshot if his screen showing the pre-order and trade-in offer. I'm going to scan that and see if the Samsung site (tomorrow - 10/10/14) will except that.
I hope someone can give me a definite answer on this. I pre-ordered online but checked the box to trade in later, because I hadn't bought a phone to trade in yet.
I was told by two different store employees that when I received my new phone, I could bring it and the trade in phone to the store. Then they would do the trade in receipt, port my Sprint number, and activate the new phone. They would print out all of the receipts I needed to submit for the rebate.
Today a different employee told me that I should have provided the trade in phone information at the time I pre-ordered in order to be eligible for the rebate. He suggested that I cancel my order and reorder with the trade in phone info. Does anyone know for sure?
Note 4 Pre Order
Hi,
I pre-ordered mine at the T-Mobile store, and on the receipt it shows the purchase price of the new Note 4, but also has the "trade-in" information on the phone i gave in (IMEI, make, model) and also the value of it ($13).
So I'm guessing that is the trade-in receipt i will upload with the Note 4 info, unless we find out any other info.
Thanks.
I've called the T-Mobile 800 number twice and haven't been able to get a straight answer yet about having to preorder and do the trade in at the same time. Samsung's Terms and Conditions page: https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/note4/en-us/Rules lists the two as separate steps, so I guess I'll have to go with that.
Evo 4G-what's the least expensive qualifying phone that meets the $10minimumtradein?
I'm still leaning toward the Note4 (the questionable speaker that may be a downgrade from my Note2 speaker leaves me some doubts) but am also interested in the Nexus6 expected to be announced ~10/15 for its 5.9" QHD display on the same size handset+processor with dual front facing speakers & Android L out of the box but would not trade in my SGN2 for $100 (or even $200 with promo) Samsung SGH-T889 Galaxy Note 2 16GB titanium TRADE-IN VALUE $100.00 but would trade in my EVO 4G for the promo if it met the $10 minimum HTC PC36100 APA9292 EVO 4G - Sprint TRADE-IN VALUE $6.00..what's the least expensive qualifying phone that meets the $10 minimum trade in for the $200 promo? :highfive:
Why does BestBuy promo an instant $200 for all carrier preorders except T-Mobile (wouldn't T-Mobile benefit from a BestBuy presence)? I also had planned to buy it full price to use with my $30/mo unlimited data-text-100minVoice T-Mobile prepaid plan that is by far the fastest carrier in my primary use area:good: (but coverage is inferior beyond my primary uses areas)..

I kind of agree with the second employee. As long as the trade in and the preorder are shown together, you should be okay. If they can add it, then great.

Since they're listed as separate steps in Samsung's own document, I'm just going to go with that. I have to wait to get the Note 4 and port my number over before I can do the actual trade in anyway.
Well, as much as I want to help you explore some options, in respect to staying within moral bounds I will refrain myself from saying anything in public. Hint: Look through this forum for a particular post. Wait did somebody say something?

When you receive your Note 4, it will have in it a pre-paid label to ship your trade-in back. Once T-Mobile receives the trade-in, you will be issued a confirmation of the trade in via ??? (I'm thinking it'll either reflect on your next months bill, emailed, or mailed. However, it'd be best to probably just call customer care once you can confirm that T-Mobile has received in the trade-in via tracking it online as the pre-paid label should have a tracking number on there.)
As for bringing it in the store, that may be an option for you since you will be porting your number from a different carrier, but in most cases T-Mobile stores will only take in a trade at the time of purchasing another device. It usually all has to be done at the same time. Therefore, since you are receiving the phone via mail I'm thinking that it automatically defaults to you having to do just that by waiting and bringing it in then.
I'm thinking that the second guy was a little confused himself. If you are active on Sprint now and if that is the device you would be trading in, along with the fact that you did order it online, I think what I've mentioned above is to hold true. For anyone that pre-orders online will follow the normal protocol of waiting to receive the device and to ship it back with the provided pre-paid label.
Bare in mind, most of these workers at any cell phone place don't really have that much of an IQ. I can bet that the majority of people in this community have more knowledge than they do with phones in general. Remember, most of them are just non tech people who are just there to make a pay check and are robots to scripts and training that they receive. I'm used to receiving different answers all the time....hilarious but true.

Yes, this is ideally the way Samsung would want it done, but it's not the only way. The main thing here is having that 'trade-in' receipt to show a trade-in value of $10 or more. That's it. Well of course the proof of pre-order receipt too.
So the way you did it is 1st best. Pre-ordering online and/or Calling 611 to pre-order and waiting to receive the phone, while sending your trade in back is the 2nd best. :highfive:

T-Mobile is not very familiar with the promo. Believe me, I've called them many times and have spent hours on the phone with them and every time I get something different.
Don't count on getting anywhere while speaking to some tech ignorant trained for nothing rep who just reads a script. I've had a lot of bad experience with reps not knowing crap from crap, unless it involved basic account stuff.
I think there's enough info in this thread now to know what needs to be done.
We'll be good either way. :good:

Well if you went with the Nexus 6 you will still not be getting a good of a deal. The $200 promo is hard to beat.
I'm pretty sure Best Buy is known to not have TM within their Samsung department within the store. You can get TM Pre-Paid from the Best Buy mobile section in the store, but that's all I've seen. I think? Someone confirm this.
The walmart plan that you have is the best TM pre-paid plan for anyone who uses little minutes. You can't beat it.

The Nexus 6 may be $200 less than the Note4 without promos & it's not clear I qualify for this promo given what I've already described (unless someone suggests the least expensive qualifying phone that meets the $10 minimum trade in for the $200 promo) & if I'd be willing to wait for a non-instant credit through Samsung compared to BestBuy (who doesn't carry T-Mobile devices) instant credit but price isn't the main factor in my decision. I'd like to get the Note4 for nearly $200 less especially since I find its speaker disappointing but at this point may wait to hear more about the Nexus6 or potentially get both & possibly return the one I'm least overall satisfied with.. :victory:

Trying to do this right now and its not accepting my IMEI or Wifi Mac! Am i correct in understanding that u need the Note 4's IMEI and Mac Address and not the trade in device?
Because before entering your pre-order date and IMIE and wifi mac Address it says:
"We'll also need your new device's IMEI or Hex MEID number and Wi-Fi MAC address"
(Emphasis on NEW device's)
So we can only submit this once we get our Note 4s?

Correct, you need to enter your Note 4 IMEI number and Wifi Mac address for the rebate.
That's great that you're exercising your options. I hope you find that perfect phone. IMO at the end of the day, the Note 4 will be a better phone. Spec wise, in every way it is. Design wise I think the N4 is much better. I've played with the N4 extensively at Best Buy and I did not notice any speaker issue. In fact, to me it seemed more beefy than the N3. When I had the N3, ViperAudio equalizer brought it to life. For us ROM geeks, I wouldn't ever put my final judgement on the stock TW / Software and its abilities, because it's just a matter of a 'short time' before we got some incredible ROM's that will make the N4 even more than what it is. :good:

Now that we see different deals coming out from carriers, BOGO, $480 trade, 50% off, is the Note 7 offer really a deal or are we just being duped with marketing to buy from Samsung?
Should we voice our opinions to Samsung and try to get some reconciliation of some kind?
What do you all think?
I picked up an iphone 5S from Walmart for the trade in. Cost around $100. Bottom line is that I don't have to add a line I don't need to my TMO account along with loosing my grandfathered incredible account. Net cost is $605 and I get $100 worth of freebies as a pre-order. I think it is a great deal for former Note 7 owners.
The difference really is in the new line or adding line details. Still, since there is any deal for any carrier new line or add a line, 480 trade, 50%, or BOGO, shouldn't the Note 7 offer have been a little more than the rest...those who trade in the lesser of the phones for 425 is getting a better deal but if they are trading in the s8 or s7, att is better and sprint is 50% off with no trade...it doesn't really bother me, I was just curious how everyone feels about it...I like the Samsung deal because I own the phone, but Sprint lease has 20/month with trade ins that can bring it to 10/month as another posted for 240 total and paying at the end to own another 240...so 480 total...but the whole thing with monthly payments...is it really a savings?

I agree that it is not really a deal for Note 7 owners when I am trading in my Note 5 for $480. But that is the carriers, not really Samsung's fault.

The fact that people have been buying Note 7 emails and codes even though they didn't own one just to get in on the deal shows that it's a pretty good deal.
What I got from Samsung because of the Note 7 fiasco:
Free use of the Note 7 for 4 months (normally $37.50 a month to lease = $150 comped)
Free use of the loaner S7Edge for 5 months (another $32.59 a month = $165 comped)
Free 256gb memory card ($250)
Free Gear VR ($125?)
$425 off a note 8 after trade in ($425 - $75 to buy a brand new iphone 5s from straight talk = $350)
Free 360 camera ($250?)
That's already $1000+ of free stuff right there, and that's just from 1 Note 7 and 1 Note 8. Others got multiple Note 7s and 8s and probably got even more stuff.
I'm only familiar with the Tmo BOGO, so that's the one I can talk about. The Sprint leasing deal is pretty good though. $10? or $20? a month for a lease to own the Note 8. Only downside is you're tied to Sprint for 2 years.
For the TMo BOGO: It's great if you are need 2 lines and 2 Note 8s anyway (wife, buddy, group buy). But for those of us who need just 1 or not on TMo, the Samsung deal is easier to do. For the TMo BOGO you need to add a line ($10 a month until the prepaid card comes in), you have to wait several months to get your money, you have to pay full taxes for both phones, and you have to go through selling the 2nd phone and freebie if you only need one phone.
Yes, the Note 7 deal is part of marketing from Samsung, but they're also legitimately subsidizing money for that deal because you were a loyal Note user. What they didn't anticipate is that carriers are also willing to lose money and subsidize the Note 8 just to lock you into their network. Just be happy that all these corporations are willing to lose money just to keep us, as opposed to 10 years ago when carriers didn't care and blatantly screwed everyone because we had no choice but to bend over (Verizon is still that way today).

Man, where did you find an S5 that cheap? I selected to send in a non-Samsung phone. According to chat, that's what I have to send in. Looking for a used V20, they're all in the $175-200 price range unless it's a bad IMEI.

Ok, I have a 5 month old mint S9 Plus. It's not on their trade in list, don't know why???
I am offered $347.00 trade in value towards a Note 9.
And yes it's mine totally paid off in full when purchased.
Can they be for real?? What idiot would fall for that one.
An old S7 is worth $500????????
Just venting,

I honestly think that trade in offer isn't for Techies at all. I think it's for the folks who try to hold onto their devices for as long as possible. That's why the Note 5 is on the list. Having the S9 on there could potentially cause them to lose money.
I am of course only speculating.

Hi,
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm confused about. Buy a S7, trade in and get $500 credit.
Trade in an $850.00 S9 Plus and get $347.00??????????????????
Just doesn't make any common sense to me at all!!!!!
Hope I don't have to say, NO, not going for that deal at all.
I'll buy direct from Samsung when and if I buy the Note 9.

If you end up upgrading to another phone before the 24 months is up, do you forfeit the remaining bill credits?

That's another million dollar question!!! Also it's tying you to TMobile for 2 years to get the credit, right????

I only asked cuase I thought I read it before on similar deals. But I don't see it mentioned in this particular deal.
It's funny how I too am scared being tied to a particular carrier when it comes to deals, contract, etc. Yet I've been with tmobile for over 6 years and have no intention of leaving any time soon lol.

That's the way I see it. Very similar to the old way, except nowadays, you don't get a subsidized phone as a reward for signing on the dotted line for 2yrs.
The trade-in is a limited time offer, so, we're not exactly comparing apples to apples VS the old contracts.
I kinda wish T-Mobile would go retro/reverse Uncarrier & bring back subsidized/free phones for signing a 2yr contract.....

You lose out on the rest of the bill credits. They would be giving you free money if they continued to apply them. Would be nice if they did is the criteria of the device being paid in full before the 24 months.

I'll buy direct from Samsung when and if I buy the Note 9.

I bought a pre-owned S7 from Boost Mobiles website for $150 and it's on sale from $300. I was going to go to the eBay route but I've got phones with issues before and figured I'd go with an actual legit company to ensure the phone isn't blacklisted or damaged. I'll then trade that in and get $500 off then sell my S9+ for about $600 and end up paying about $300 out of pocket for the 512gb model.

So it's just like their previous offers. Glad I bought through Samsung directly. I only get $400 for my note 8 but it's deducted from the total cost of the phone. Therefore I only pay tax on the $599. And Samsung usually includes the free gift (this case AKG headset) when they ship the phone.

You still get the headset no matter where you purchase the phone as long as it's a pre-order in the US.

Yes but you don't get it included with your phone. You have to send proof of purchase to samsung then you wait for it to get approved. Then wait again for them to ship it to you. It's less hassle for me buying phones from Samsung direct. I'm also on the yearly upgrade program through them.

Yeah I know. I'm not worried about the headset, my wife would probably pay them to keep it instead of sending me one. I got way too many already. ?

I've been wanting another headset so I would love to get it sooner than later

Has anyone actually pre-ordered from T-Mobile & use the trade-in special?
Was wondering if anyone has & managed to avoid paying for shipping/get a bill credit to cover shipping?
If so,did you order the phone via telesales & have it waived immediately,or,order it from the website & manage to get free shipping after checking out?

I might just jump on this then. I see Note 8's selling on Swappa for right around 500.00. I'll have to check a few other sites to see if that's consistent, but getting the headphones without ordering direct from Samsung would be sweet!

Not sure if you got the answer but there's a thing to download online after placing the order with the shipping label included.

Yes,I've since ordered & received the phone.
It arrived via UPS late yesterday, so, I'll be sending in the trade in on Monday.
I did catch the link for the shipping label after placing my order.
Thank you for following up on this,it is much appreciated.
