Everyone I'm on the phone with from Samsung seems to have no clue what is going on with this deal. In the fine print it says not valid with any other promotion or offer and I got $50 off my pre-order. Do you guys think i'll still get the $200 promotion, or should i redo my pre-order without the $50 off? :silly:

Update: I just got off the phone with a Samsung rep and he told me he "could not verify the validation of the samsunggalaxypromotions.com/note4 website, and it could be a third party vendor" blah blah blah. You would think that if a company is going to put up a promotion they would have some clue about it, which is why i don't think samsung has anything to do with this.

Okay so I tweeted samsungsupportus (or whatever it is) with a question about the promotion and they told me it's only sprint. Does anyone at Samsung know what's going on because I'm frustrated with this now.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gareee:
We pre-ordered from best buy today. I was told to just bring in any working none cracked screen smartphone as the trade in, and best buy would print gift certificates out for the rebate at the time of pickup.

Also, best buy has its own $50 deposit promo running right now as well, and they stack. At purchase, the $50 deposit gets refunded on a gift card, so the total rebate amount of both is actually $250! Since the phone is only $299, after the rebates, that makes it $50 with a 2 year contract!

Personally I think they are nuts selling them that cheap, but they probably want a lot of buzz out there from early adopters.

Also, if you have a best buy credit card, keep in m8nd you also get reward zone gift certificates for the $300 purchase per phone. I think we'll get $20 or $30 back in reward zone gift certificates back on both our phones, driving our cost down to $40 or less each.

I love it!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidrev71:
Which carrier did you pre order for?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gareee:
Verizon. They said the pre-order was hardware only, and that the change on Verizon would only include thier $30 transitional fee.

The samsung promotion just guarantees the trade-in value is $200 for any working smartphone.

You'll get the difference between whatever bestbuy gives you for the trade-in and $200.

This promo only good with on contract pricing?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livinginavacuum:
Did you confirm with Best Buy or Samsung? I'm very skeptical about this, but you could be on to something here.

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

Actually, it all makes sense to me now in regards to the reasoning behind Best Buy offering their own promo.

For the Samsung promotion you have to upload the trade-in receipt from what appears to be any carrier/retailer.

If you go ahead and trade-in through Best Buy your trade-in receipt will show a $200 value from them.

So if Samsung guarantees a total trade-in of $200, then that guarantee would already have been honored through Best Buy directly. There will be nothing to claim through Samsung since $200-$200 = $0.

Which makes sense for Best Buy since now that $200 gift card can only be used at Best Buy.

I have just talked to Best Buy and they confirmed this. What's interesting, however, is that the rep I talked to mentioned that Best Buy will give you $200 for any working phone. So for example, instead of trading in my S3 I can use an old Incredible 2 I have lying around in a drawer collecting dust, which has a trade-in value of less than $10 based on Verizon, and still get a $200 gift card from Best Buy.

That being said, I already pre-ordered through Verizon directly on the 19th and most likely will not be cancelling it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Will Rickards:
I just read the terms and conditions of the offer on the promo website.

In my case I want to trade-in an HTC EVO 4G. But the trade-in value is only $6 at tmo. $0 at best buy.

Which means I won't qualify for the samsung promo as they need $10 min trade-in value.

Where are the terms of this best buy offer?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlanter95:
So why not trade in a phone at Best Buy, get the $200 gift card, and then trade in a second phone and submit that receipt to Samsung? They didn't say it had to be a phone traded in at the same time of your pre-order.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livinginavacuum:
104

Can't post links yet, but just go to bestbuy.com and search for note 4. It should come up.

Should see this:

I think you'll still be able to get $200 at Best Buy since the rep confirmed it would work with my wife's ancient HTC Incredible 2.

That being said, I'd still confirm with the actual store you're going to go to before committing anything.

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

I think because Samsung wants you to upload both the preorder and trade-in receipts it signifies that there has to be a correlation between the two receipts. The preorder receipt will probably specify which phone was traded in for it and if you traded in your phone through Best Buy for the Note 4, it'll most likely show a $200 value.

The Samsung promo terms and conditions also states that "the offer cannot be combined with, and not valid with, any other rebate, offer, or discount."

What this tells me is that Samsung will be going through a validation that no other promo was used and since Samsung and Best Buy seem to have a very friendly business relationship I wouldn't be surprised if they made sure that double-dipping wouldn't occur. I mean, it's no coincidence that Best Buy's promo is so similar to Samsung's promo.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlanter95:
I think you're absolutely correct, I'm just thinking on the off chance that they have a separate receipt for the trade-in and the pre-order, then you could do that. Although I can't do the Best Buy deal anyways :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synxack:
still skeptic

OK so I went to Best Buy yesterday and talked to the Samsung rep in the wireless area. He confirmed they WOULD NOT take my Galaxy S3 because of water damage even though the phone is fully functional. Been using it for 6 months without any issues. But the rep asked me if I had any other smartphones laying around the house. I said I had an ancient Iphone 3g at home. still works. no water damage. He said that would work. I'm still skeptical though. That phone is literally worth NOTHING. And he said "yea yea no problem" without even looking into a computer or anything. I don't think he remembers just how old and useless a iphone 3g is. I couldn't imagine samsung would want a iphone 3g over a working but water damaged Galaxy 3.

I hope it all works out. 200$ is 200$. I will be going back to the store in 2 days when I get paid and I guess we'll find out if this is all for real.

Seems like everyone on this thread has been told the same thing but no one has actually gone through the process with bestbuy on this promo yet.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlanter95:
They wouldn't take my water damaged S3 either :/ I'm shipping home the phone im using now so someone can take it to the Best Buy there next week for the deal. I'll be phoneless for the next month but $200 is worth it :good: Good luck!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shibby303:
So if you preordered from Amazon are you SOL?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlanter95:
I don't think so. You can still trade in your phone for the Samsung deal, or you can always cancel your pre-order with Amazon and go with Best Buy
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juk3s:
Ok. So I just switched my iPhone over to t-mobile. Should I be trying to buy some dinky phone that cost over 10 dollars. When the Note 4 comes out, upgrade and have samsung cover the other 190 of it? And then sell my iPhone somewhere else?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlanter95:
As long as you can sell the iPhone for more than you paid for the dinky phone, and the dinky phone's trade in value > $10 then yes.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbuc:
The best buy sight says "trade-in value may vary" so you may just get $10 for your $10 phone.

The guy at bb that swears it's $200 today may not work there in a week.

I'm concerned about the legitimacy and lack of information from the source sights on both of these deals.

Does anyone have a link to credible infor. Everything I've seen is in forums or, like the bb fine print gives them an out.

My question is if I can preorder at a different location than I do my old phone trade in. I want to preorder the Tmobile one, but I'm not staying with Tmobile so I'd rather get some kind of trade in credit from AT&T. I looked over their terms and limitations and did not find anything prohibiting this at all. Anyhoo I emailed Prizelogic to see what their response would be.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
You pay the $50. It is not free though would be nice. Think about it. You paid for the card and can use it for the phone or something else. Regardless, like I did today, you paid for the $50 gift card.

BTW, it is not refundable even if you cancel the order. Have to use the card.

Still no word yet if paying full price can also get the deal. I will cancel my Best Buy preorder and use my 32gb S4 until next year if so and use the $50 card on Black Friday.

I just pre-ordered the Version Note 4 at Best Buy today, but the price I was quoted was $750 (not $699). I had to buy the $50 gift card, but the email that I received states if I cancel my order, I can redeem the card for cash. The rep also said that my old Droid qualifies for the trade-in and that I can use the $200 to pay for the phone.

SO the total cost will be $550.

ok so the rep says that you can do the best buy promo for off contract huh? if so I'll see if they'll take my droid eris. gonna get the price of 692 for black. problem is what happens if they're wrong, you go on release day and it turns out you can't get the 200 bucks off because it's off contract or the phone is worthless, like my eris? they're losing money on off contract which is why I'm wary of this deal.

Also, does anyone know if the charcoal Note 4 comes with the grippier back cover? All they had on hand were the white ones and they had an awful hard plastic feeling back.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gareee:
I'm reading today about confirmed Oct. 10th release dates... I'm hoping that's true, cause I'm getting the itch closer to launch now.

I also called best buy last week, because the copper gold and pink were not available for pre-order, and they said if non pre-ordered stock was available at launch, the store should be able to make up for that lack of pre-order variety when we picked them up, so I don't think color choice is locked down 100% on our pre-orders.

They also said, like the s5, that the copper/gold would probably only be available during the launch month.

Who told you it doesn't work if you buy the phone outright? I was told by 2 different people at Best Buy that you can purchase it at full price and use the 200$ towards purchase. Also there is nothing in the small print of the offer at all that states it is 200$ only if you do a contract extension. If someone tries to tell you you cannot do it, just have their offer printed up and bring it in with you the day of purchase and show it to them. If they still give you problems, speak with their manager.

I may call corporate best buy today too about it to get further confirmation. I remember last year I wanted to buy the Note 3 on launch day at full price from BB. The store I went to gave me some crap about it saying I couldn't and the phones were only being sold on contract. I called corporate and they said no, we sell it online for full price and the store has to as well. They sold me the phone, and I got them to price match for a cheaper off contract price too. Lol.
