I'm on the fence on upgrading from my S5 to a S6edge. Version is offering $200 for my phone (I paid 150 for it) and I do not mind being on contract... That makes my out of pocket cost $150 + $40 with a $50 rebate in a few weeks so like $140.
Is the S6 edge worth it if I already have a S5? I am a fan of different/aesthetically pleasing devices and really want one but since my phone is only a year old im having trouble justifying the purchase. Plus there is a high probably of if I upgrade I will probably also buy my wife either an S6 or S6edge as well since she has an S5 as a courtesy.

I just ordered the edge last night and will get it on Friday. I dont think you will be disappointed but I am coming from the M8 and I should be happy with the s6 edge. One thing I am worried about is rooting and samsung has been very locked down with verizon lately. I will keep the m8 for now till the s6 gets root.
Phone look amazin but battery life have been frustraiting me not sure why,
Well here's the thing.... I LOVE the way it looks and feels in my hand. Everyone who sees it is like "what phone is that?!" and I'm proud to show it off. BUT, I'm all about the look. In terms of the usefulness of the edge... Not so much. I think if you like the look, go for it. If it's just the s6 and the edges don't drive you crazy, saving the $100 might be worth it for you.
I love my purchase, but it's really all how you feel.
I'm going to post my full review on my site this weekend, but we have a review on the reg s6 already if you want to read about it #ShamelessPromotion lol

I'd also love to see a discussion started on the best deals, and ways to stack offers.
anyway, here's the deal Samsung is offering, if you owned a Note 7, and signed into a Samsung account on it, using your old email address you'll get a special "fan appreciation" offer.
(They will want you to trade in a phone still)
https://promos.samsungpromotions.com/note7loyalty/Mobile
another thing for Note 7 users, if you still have your Note 7, (as I do) you can still return your Note 7 for full price, plus a discount insensitive towards your next Samsung phone.
https://pages.samsung.com/us/note7/recall/index.jsp
(if anyone knows how this works with phones bought from 3rd party vendors like Clove or eBay, please share your experience)

Duplicate thread.
Already a thread about this made days ago in the News and discussion forum....
what's the link to that other thread?
I clicked on that loyalty link, they didn't required my proof of purchase on note7. maybe they already have my info when I returned note7 on the recall. I bought my note7 on swappa. com kinda like eBay.
I just ordered att note8 for 573$ total with taxes and shipping included. I trade in my old freedompop iphone5 for 200 off. former note7 user get another 225 off.
If you used the same email on that link that you used when you bought and or returned your Note 7, they will already have your info. That being said, they are giving $425 and I did not see a place to return the Note 7 for the $425 although in another thread someone said if you call Samsung you can get them to allow you to return the Note 7 if you still have it.
Australia are thinking about honoring the discount. I called them the other day to ask and they rang back to confirm my details and said there would be an announcement soon. Hopefully they will finally give back to the Aussies who were burned (literally) by the Note7 debacle. But im not holding my breath if anything it will be a token effort.
Samsung is a friggin joke - the exchange and recall was a catastrophe in Germany (I had to wait until end of December to get my money back) and they offer 0 benefits for Note 7 owners. Nothing, nada.
I find this behaviour seriously terrible, not only did the consumers in the US get a goodie for their trouble with the Note 7 (we got NONE - yet I had to drive to the post office several times and had to take time off from work to get the damn thing picked up, twice).
I am not sure if I will buy a Note 8 again from this crappy company, not after many of us here got shafted without a any kind of appreciation or sorry from their side.

Same in the UK. Not many made it to Europe so I would have thought it would be a great way for cheap good will. But alas nothing.
Yeh, thats what I would have done, but Samsung values US customers a lot higher than European customers.
Well as I thought Samsung in Australia have only offered a token refund of $250 but only to people who purchased directly through Samsung. Aparently I dont qualify because I bought it from a carrier (Telstra) AND TELSTRA are completely ignoring their customers and are offering NOTHING to replace the handset when previously they were giving an inferior S7 for them. Im not happy at all with Telstra they are being SCUM about it.
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.

Yes, the older the cheaper just make sure it's on the Note7 promo trade-in list which the S5 is. The lady even left her 16gb SD card in the phone, can't have enough SD cards ?

Same place I got mine. He wanted $125.00 and settled for $50.00, said it's been sitting in his drawer for over two years. Looked at swappa first but I think they know about the Samsung trade in and aren't dealing.
Hi All,
Just amazed at this program based on my dealings with T Mobile reps.
Tmobile Trade program:

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.

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

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 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?

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

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.

Hello all
I pre-ordered the S22 Ultra and Tab S8 Ultra. Now that I've got them I find the S8 Ultra to be too big. I wanted to exchange it for the S8+ but the Samsung shop staff are beyond useless. Apparently, they cannot simply exchange it. I have to return BOTH devices and order again.
The thing is, I had a discount code, traded-in a couple of devices and got a discount for buying both devices. I am more than happy to keep 2 devices. All I want is to exchange one and Samsung are not really providing a half-decent customer support which is really disappointing.
I ordered the S8 Ultra with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.
I opened the box and saw the size and decided that it was too big. Apart from that the tablet itself is still in its original wrapping. I considered selling it to cex .co .uk and they're offering less than half the price which is not an option for a brand new device.
Any advice on what I can do to get Samsung to assist or a viable alternative option?
Sell your Tab S8 Ultra directly to someone else on Swappa or Ebay (or your local equivalent). Use that money to buy a S8+. Easy.
@thecrater I see you're in London?
Why not take it, with all the delivery paperwork, to one of the Samsung Experience Stores in London and see if you can work something out with the in store Manager?
I would be interested in perhaps buying it from you, but only if it has 5G (I'm in London as well...so can meet face to face), but you're better trying to store first.
@pinsb
I am in London. It is the 5G model.
My experience with the Samsung Experience Store, at least the one that was in Wembley is not great when it comes to online orders.
If you're interested it, dm me
Here in sweden you can try device up to 60 days and If you do not want to keep it you can return it. But the device must be in new condition.
Samsung Experience Stores are not part of the official Samsung brand... They are run by a 3rd Party...
You could try Oxford Street though...
CEX prices are naturally not going to be that high... Mostly because they need to make a profit somwehere.
Seriously keep the Ultra (S8) itll grow on you...!
