Rakuten is offering a whopping 15% on phones at Samsung.com. That's a whopping $180 back on a $1200 purchase.

Just ordered the 512gb U.S. Unlocked $1,199 and got $500 trade in for the S22U and $150 in store credit.

I was expecting much better trade in value. Last year Samsung offered $1000 for an S21U in good condition.
You get an upgrade to 512gb for $1,199 which is what the 256gb model will cost after pre-order is over. So your basically saving $180.00 there as the 512gb model will be $1379.00. So you are really saving $500 Tradein +$180 Upgrade +$150 Store Credit = $830 in savings by preordering.

this is a joke! 500$ trade in for s22 ultra, after the trade in, i still have to pay 827$ with taxes. i rather pay 827$ and get iphone14 and still keeping my s22 ultra !
During the past week there were several emails saying that we would be able to get the S23U for only $330 with a trade in. Even trading in a Z Fold 4 doesn’t provide a trade in price this low, what a disappointment!

Anyone else having a hell of a time ordering? They keep canceling my order. I have tried a Samsung Financing account and my Discover card. In both cases, the payment goes through, and then Samsung just cancels it. I've been back and forth with support for over an hour trying to troubleshoot the TD Bank issue and finally tried my Discover and they just canceled it again.
Never in my life have I had a company give me so many problems when trying to give them money. I've tried updating my Samsung profile with the same info as well. It doesn't make any sense that they're even canceling an order that Discover approved.
What a joke.
They said "oh try again in a few days" but I'm sure this 15% off on Rakuten won't be there so they basically just lost the sale entirely seeing how they won't take a Pixel 7 Pro for trade in either.

Oh it's hilarious. My Rakuten pending cash back is at $1080 because of all these failures.
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.

I think I did pretty good with getting it through my carrier.
I am on T-Mobile and after trading in my Z Fold 3 (upgrading a line), getting the trade-in and promotion discounts, I financed the remaining balance on their 24 month E.I.P. with 0% interest at $15.04/mo. Total is $360.96 financed. I did have to pay the Sales Tax at the time or ordering which came out to $118.36.
Since I could not get the order through Samsungs website to work, I missed out on the $70 credit for accessories, but I bought the Ultra Unicorn Beetle Case for under $20, so no real complaints here.
Details:
Phone: S23 Ultra 512GB - Phantom Black - 1999.99
Trade Instant Credit: $161 (Z Fold 3 512GB)
Applied Credit: $839 ($35.96/mo applied to the $50/mo finance payment making payments $15.04/mo)
Sales Tax: $118.36 (paid at time of order)
Total Amount Financed: $360.96 (0% interest for 24 months)

I am thinking about that deal... I would have to open up a new prepaid eSIM to port to Fi but doesn't Fi have some rule about not using the phone anywhere else for the 120 days or you forfeit the discount? I don't know that I could have a new phone for 4 months that I wouldn't be able to use lol

I mean I would keep Fi for that time. I just can't go without at least using the eSIM on my main Tello line. Or maybe I can carry two phones but that's a pain.
How do Rakuten cashbacks work? They email a check to your billing address? I'm wondering because I'm from the US.Rakuten is offering a whopping 15% on phones at Samsung.com. That's a whopping $180 back on a $1200 purchase.

Mine was $760 total after Trade in and paying $16 extra for the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro on top of the $150 store credit. After I sell the Buds 2 pro l'll only end up paying $660 total for the 512gb model which aint too bad. Don't need the buds cause I am deaf but it was best way to use the full $150 store credit.
I was trying tonight and I couldn't get any where with Samsung. I kept having issues at the trade in screen. Sometimes it would give me a $500 trade in or a $1000 trade in for my s22 ultra. Finally, I gave up and went to T-Mobile and also on there website I was running into issues when I got to the insurance, and I was only offered $500 trade in.
I finally called and I was able to complete the order.
I probably would not have upgraded so early, except for the fact I have had a lot of issues with my s22 ultra(4th phone). Im hoping the s23 does not have the same issue with the speaker and static noises.

You tie a PayPal account to Rakuten to get an automatic payout or they'll send you a physical check. It's quarterly I believe.
