Current the s23+ is listed at $750 on the Samsung Shop mobile app. Various trade ins are listed at $200, but if applied yield a total of $600 for the phone… the way they justify this is that because the phone is originally $1000, and it’s being discounted by 25%, they take $200 off of the original price of the phone before applying the discount. I.e. ($1000-$200)*0.75=$600. So your trade in is really only valued at $150 by Samsung.
In my opinion it’s shady to advertise the $750 price (after the discount) but NOT advertise the trade in value after the discount.
Same issues. I tried to apply my first responder discount with the Black Friday promotion and it combined the discounts until I got to the checkout. I was on with customer support for two hours yesterday just for a supervisor to tell me that both offers cannot be combined.
That’s BS. If they can’t be combined then why it shows right before going to checkout? That’s some extremely shady stuff
