Hmmm... I looked into BB, but it appeared you had to activate to get the discount (with the unlocked) and T-mobile wasn't even an option (only the other 3). How'd you manage??
You get $700 if you activate, $600 if not activated (like us being on TMo for example they don't do TMo there) then they put the $600 on a BB gift card and I used that to buy the Note10+. I initially went to a different BB and they had a Black and I was going to settle but they told me there's a Aura Glow at a different BB like 20 miles away so I did the trade in and paperwork there and went and picked up the Glow at the other store.

Weird... Online when I chose Unlocked and "activate later", it showed no discount.

Either way, I'm stuck, since my "cancel" option is gone as of today. I assume that means I'll be getting shipment notification soon though, so I'm hopeful!

Yes I would say that probably means it's going to ship soon. Mine still said in process and I was able to successfully cancel it.

They let you pay it towards the device? The fine print on their website said the credit cannot be used towards the purchase of a Note 10

Yes I called a few stores today and asked that exact question and they said it's a down payment on the new Note. The fine print reads (to me) just what happened, trade in and it's goes towards the new phone?

They must've changed it after release. Initially it said it couldn't be paid towards the purchase of the device it was traded in against if buying unlocked.



I kind of wonder what deals go on behind the scenes between merchants and carriers.

The fine print was written weird though. I remember reading it and it said if you activated a carrier model, you could use the trade in towards the N10+. But if you did NOT activate it in store, then you would just receive the $600 in a gift card and it could not be applied toward the N10+. Maybe it was so confusing, Best Buy doesn't know how to apply it.

LOL yes and found another pixel 3 for $310 to trade in lol
LOL. That's awesome. I used the trade in program to my advantage too. Sold my 512GB Note 9 for $600. Used that money to buy a 128GB Note 9 for $400. So that was $200 in my pocket. Then traded in that Note 9 for $600 toward the N10+. So that actually knocked $800 off the cost of my N10+.

Why thank you. Hopefully, Samsung continues with these crazy trade in deals on each new device. I mean, we both know the price of new devices will just continue to climb. I gotta hustle everywhere I can to be able to afford them. LOL.

Probably should've bought the 512GB version this year to do the same hustle next year, but I was just tired of black phones.

Effing finally!! Preordered N10+ (Aura Glow) [VZW-- from carrier] on 8/19, no update to order till yesterday. It's finally shipped out with delivery on Wednesday 9/04/2019 by 4:30 pm... which is kinda bullshit seeing as FedEx can get most every package to the destination by 4PM the next day. But, what are you gonna do?? iCan't wait till I get it so I can collect on my $150 Samsung credit. Anyone else see those Aura Glow Galaxy Buds?! SEXY!!

SHIPPED!! Just got notified tonight! Via FedEx. No idea the date yet. Didn't say. Buds AND phone in Aura Glow. :D

Phone originally said by 9/10 (buds said by 9/17). I ordered 8/18 I believe, if it helps anyone out (directly from Samsung).

Good deal buddy! I'm guessing you should have it in hand either Tuesday or Wednesday.

It says Wednesday by 8pm now! I'm in Illinois and it's coming from Indiana so I'm wondering if it may even be quicker. We'll see! Either way, I'm thrilled! :)
Good deal. So you were 2 days preordering before me so I might have got it this week also if I didn't cancel. Also I was still able to get the $150 pre-order gift even though I got it from BB last Friday, so I lucked out also.
