Noticed that if you trade in S5 or Iphone 5, all you get now is 200$ off, was it not more before?

Advice Needed, please?

Is $580 a good deal on a never opened ATT Note 3? AT&T wants like over $700 for the device outright, which is ridiculous. I had the T-Mobile Note 3, but had issues with LTE.

That's not bad at all. I want to get away from the iPhone 5S. I'm just sick of it. And I'm running iOS 7.1.
I saw a deal like this (on another forum) bought from CL that turned out to be a Chinese counterfeit, but I'd feel comfortable with Swappa.

How can I change to the Nexus 6?

How can I change to the N6? I'm on T-Mobile and just bought the Note 4 1 week ago. I still have 1 more week to return it. And after that 1 week, there's still 10 more days until the Nexus 6 comes out on T-Mobile.
I could just return the Note 4 next Friday, get another phone, and return it the day the Nexus 6 comes out, but there's a $50 restock fee. So, what ideas do you guys have?
I already sold the phone I had before the Note 4.
I really like it, but TouchWiz ruins the phone for me. It slows the phone down so much it doesn't feel like a Snapdragon 805 and 3GB of RAM. With TouchWiz, less than 1GB of RAM is available WITHOUT any apps open. And I really don't want to trip Knox for when I return the phone.
Ask your store if you can have another few weeks with Note4 until you can order the Nexus6....
Pay the damn restock fee, like a man.
You knew what you were doing buying a Note4 before the N6 announcement, accept the consequences of your choices.

This is probably what I would do. It's always good to have a backup phone anyways. At least IMO.
I got the answer. I'll return the phone on Friday and get the iPhone 5s test drive for a week until the N6 comes out.

Ordering through best buy with trade in

Anyone know the correct steps to ordering a Verizon note 8 on best buy and getting the full trade in allowance? I'm not sure if I am suppose to pre order on best buy first then go to Verizon's site and get the $480 bill credit. I went through the process of pre ordering on Verizon's site and was offered the $480 but it's cheaper on best buy. Any help would be appreciated.
Wondering the same thing but with Sprint
Sent from my SM-N930P using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Wondering if those of us in the UK will be getting any discount deals too, as I'd like to finally upgrade off my old note-3 having had the initial note-7 and then its replacement on the first recall and then of course that also got recalled. Not heard any news to say UK/Eur would get any sort of loyalty offer yet...
Anyone know how to get the trade in of $425 for trading in a Note 7? I thought I read that you have to do that direct through Samsung, but so far have not found a place to do so.

I don't know best buys deal - or any deals, I haven't looked yet. I will buy direct through Samsung IF they actually give me $425 for my Note 7. Often there is fine print and ways they can wiggle you down on what they actually give you for a trade in. So until I know for sure that I can get $425 for my Note 7 on a trade in for the Note 8, I am not doing anything. Although my Note 7 is not usable as a phone, just a smaller wifi tablet at this point.

just got done speaking with Samsung. here is the link to check your eligibility. I did qualify, they basically say the trade in has to be almost perfect, no cracks, black lists, powers on, good software. I think they should offer it through the carriers.
here is the link. not sure how long the promo is, they didn't have an expire date when I asked. I still think I may wait a little to see if they offer it in blue

Thanks. I have already pre-ordered the Note 8. I did use the $425 trade in program. You cannot trade in a Note 7 if you have one, but you can trade in many other kinds of phones. I thought that a bit odd as I thought the point was for them to get N7's OUT of the hands of people still using them somehow (I haven't had mine activated since early February).
I am trading my S7E in, which I bought mint, but used back in early February to take the place of my soon to be deactivated Note 7. I paid $275 for it back in February, so that is a good ROI on the phone, which has just been sitting in a drawer since April. It has been my backup phone and is in very good condition (almost mint). I am currently using an S8+ but I will keep that as my backup phone most likely. Again, thanks for the info and link!

Someone on another thread contacted samsung about there note 7 and they are giving them a full refund for the note 7
I guess I order through best buy. Then go to Verizon's site to get the $480 bill credit which will put my bill at just under $13 a month. Tomorrow I'm going to call and double check before I pull the trigger. I wonder if Sammy would take S8+ for a trade in?

Note 7 Deal, Is It Really A Deal?

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?

Same here, I picked up a mint S5 for $50.00 for trade in. Makes the total cost of the Note 8 less than $600.00. Plus I get the 360 camera too.

I grabbed a very near mint Galaxy S5 for $80, turn around and save $425 off the Note8. At the end of the day with the S5 trade in, selling the gear360 and selling my LG V20 I will walk away with the Note8 for around $260 (break down below) so I am pretty happy.

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.

My numbers are pretty much the same. I paid 40 bucks for S5 and have an Axon 7 I will sell for 250.

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.

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.

Trade in an $850.00 S9 Plus and get $347.00??????????????????

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

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 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.

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.

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. ?

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.
