I have a question. I am thinking to buy the Note 4 in the following manner
1) Pre-order the Note 4 on ATT website by selecting ATT Next 12 and adding a new line (this makes me eligible for a $100 credit )
2) Trade-in my old iPhone 4S at Bestbuy (value shown is around $40)
3) The difference amount i.e (200-40=160$) will be paid by Samsung ?
In this way I am having a savings of $300. Am I missing something here ? Please help
Thank You
Needs to be traded to the retailer where you're preordering
Does it state that in the fine print? Anyways AT&T is giving me 0 value for my 4S whereas bestbuy is offering me atleast 40$. So i am really confused what to do. I can't order from Bestbuy as Store pickup is required.

"Store pickup is required"??? Where are you getting your information from? When I have attempted to pre-order from Best Buy, I am told the pre-orders can only be SHIPPED to my home. There is no store pickup option. I know this because I actually prefer store pickup for my circumstances, but Best Buy will not give the option if you pre-order online. Now, if you go into a store and do it... that's another issue.

Yes. Looks like you have the proper steps as outlined here https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/Note4/
As long as Best Buy is an official trade in site...although I believe Sprint offers a little more in trade-in value. Which if it is the same Iphone 4S at AT&T listed here https://secure.sprintbuyback.com/cns/device_list...it is worth $202. Or it looks like it is worth $100 to AT&T...then you would only be waiting on $100 check from Samsung.
Best buy has a "deal" going on now.trade in any "working" smart phone get $200 on preorder note 4.
I'm on att.didn't ask if att deal only.
Preorder for $50 (get gift card to use toward perchase).minus $200 for used phone = $250 off $299 att note 4.waiting for phone to come in.
Will see if legit or just blowing smoke.ordered phone 10/19.

This is legit, traded in a prepay cheap Windows phone I had laying around and got the $200 gift card plus an extra $50 bucks for signing up in the early part of the year promising to upgrade through best buy. Put the whole gift card towards my pre-order of the nexus 9 ?
Preordered my att note 4 from best buy 10/18.picked it up 10/25 at store.put $50 down.they gave me gift card to use toward purchase.at time of p/u,I gave them a used galaxy S2(i777).they gave me $200 toward purchase of note 4.that gave me $250 toward the $299 note 4.after taxes it was $73+ I paid them.waiting to see if there is any fees beside activation thru att.this was a standard 2 year upgrade.
no trouble with my trade-in phone.
no questions asked.it turned on.they checked numbers to make sure it wasn't stolen.and that was it.I bought that phone with broke screen and bad charge port.fixed both.used couple a couple of weeks.
overall good experience.
now to see how well the note 4 does.

Damn I turned in two iPhone to att for the note 4 wonder If I can complain to att and have them price match or match this offer as close as possible. .
Go to that store,see if they are doing that deal.if so raise hell,tell them you want to return phone.get your money back go to different store.
I could only trade in 1 phone according to them.
I think that deal is nation wide.And I don't think they franchise.

I've been looking at the pre-order page on BB to see if the Verizon version was available to pre-order online. Last night the price showed as $299 on contract and not yet available. Today it shows $349 on contract and not yet available. Did they up the price or is this just an error?
Wont let me post a link to it...
crap that isnt good. i was hoping $699 for off contract. crap time to sell more stuff!
still $699 at verizon! yay
Hopefully that is not the price in store as well.
Its still cheaper than verizon considering that they will accept my htc rezound as a trade in phone while verizonwireless will not.
Just hope I get some one who knows how to transfer an upgrade from one phone number to another.
When I pre ordered in store it was 299 better be that when I go to pick it up or there getting a ear full

fyi from what they told me, pre-ordering the phone doesn't mean locking in the price. if the price changed you're responsible for the new price. that's what they told me in store anyway

According to the website, the ATT and Verizon Note 4 variants are listed as $299, the Sprint Note 4 variants are listed as $349. I think its safe to say that our Note 4s are still the same price.
I'll wait until it is cheaper off contract than $700. Can't afford **** that expensive

The Verizon price has been changed back to $299 as it was originally. Part of this past week it was at $349 on the BB website.

What worst is that no more pre order for Verizon note 4 from BestBuy. I went to BB today and their system can't do pre order for Verizon N4 and so is the website, however, you still can preorder note4 with AT&T...
Maybe it's an error in their system?
Up to this day you have not been able to preorder via best buys website.
I preordered my Verizon note 4 (white) last Friday and my wife preordered her Verizon note 4 (also white) yesterday (Monday) without any issues. The phone is $299, $100 after trading in ANY working smart phone that isn't damaged (cracked screen, turns on, no water damage). There is NO minimum trade in value required unlike the Samsung promotion ($10 minimum value). They make you buy a $50 gift card as a "place holder" for the phone, you have 48 hours to pick up the phone after it arrives otherwise they will sell it to someone else. All gift cards purchased (the $50 place holder) and the $200 one you receive for trading in a phone, can all be used toward the purchase of the phone immediately.
I have spoke to the store manager, customer service, the Verizon and Samsung reps at the store. The customer service rep did say you need to bring in the charger for it, the others did not say that. I'm going to bring mine in either way. I also took their names down in case they try to pull a fast one. I suggest anyone else does the same so there are no surprises when the phone arrives.
Good luck
I'll put chargers in my car, but I'm not bringing them in unless they make noise about it. My store just said charged working phones without water or cracked screen damage.
I just came back from Best Buy and the sale representative told me to come back on 10/17 to trade in any working smart phone to get a$200 Best Buy gift card. Is this true? Do I have to wait another 10 days to do this?

Yes it is only effective up till the day of the release. So what i would recommend doing is pre-ordering it since this is required to get the $200 gift card. Then when you pick up the pre-order you will get a $200 gift card.
I plan to get the Verizon model. So if I come in on October 18, I would not be able to get that $200 deal of trading in an old smart phone?

From Samsung rebate program:
"Smart Samsung Phone.
Brilliant Friends and Family Deal.
Get a Guaranteed Total Trade-In of $200* on Any Working Smartphone.
Preorder the Samsung Galaxy Note® 4 from any carrier or retailer in the U.S. now through 10/16 (Verizon customers through 10/22)."
Im interested in this promotion as well, but not if it is only for a $200 Best Buy gc. The promo made it sound like Samsung cuts you a check for $200.
I wanted to use Best Buy since they will give me $10 for my Thunderbolt (the minimum required to qualify). Is there a way to do this and get cash instead of the gc? Thanks!

The phone is going to cost you $299. You use the gift card toward the phone. You still have to pay the difference. You'll walk away with $99 less cash either way.
There is no "minimum" value on the smart phone you are trading in to qualify with using the Best Buy trade in promotion when you preorder the note 4. Preorders must be done by october16th. They will take ANY working smartphone that does not have a cracked screen, water damage and must be able to turn on.
The samsung promotion does require that you trade in a smart phone that is worth $10+ to a authorized retailer (amazon, verizon store, att store etc).
Hope this helps
My apologies if this has been answered already, but if we have already preordered from best buy can i still go in and trade in a phone for the $200 rebate?

Yes, you just have to wait until the phones are in stock(released) before you can to the "special" trade-in.

Can we trade in a rooted phone with a custom ROM? I really don't feel like figuring out how to restore a 4 or 5 year old phone.
I don't see any language in the promotion that it can't be modified or anything. My guess, is they care less if it is rooted or has a custom ROM.
I wouldn't worry about it.
So does this deal mean you have to sign a new contract? I'm with Verizon on grandfather plan with a note 3 so would I be able to get the note 4 without a new contract

I ordered the full price Note 4 for Verizon on 9/25. Was scheduled to be delivered today but I just got the notice that they are out of stock. I am on the Verizon UDP with my current Note 2 still and want to keep it. I did my trade in through amazon and that went through. I am looking for suggestions on the quickest way to get a Note 4 in my hands while keeping my unlimited data plan.
I got a good deal through Amazon, $622 for the note 4, but at this point I don't want to wait for weeks to get it. Can I get it through Verizon or Best Buy and still get the rebate (mail in or instant) and keep my unlimited date plan?
Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

Hi, thanks.
Yep, I know there are two rebates. One required preorder by 10/22, which I obviously did through Amazon, but if I cancel I will not meet this requirement.
The other https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/tradein does not require a preorder, but it does appear to require the trade in and purchase to be on the same transaction. Since I have already had my trade in processed through Amazon, this isn't really feasible either.
I was looking at the Best Buy Option. Didn't study their spin on the rebate, and they are selling the full price phone for $749 rather than the $699 I paid on Amazon.
I'm in the same boat. I just cancelled my amazon order. I was just at best buy and they wouldn't let me buy the phone outright. Computer wanted a 2yr activation to get the $200 gift card. I showed the managers that all their flyers and ads don't say anything about that being a requirement. I was there over an hr. They did nothing except waste my time.

Moved your question thread to Q&A where it should have been created - please post in the correct sections.
Thank you.
I'm typing this from my note4 that I paid 299 for via my udp
I bought it in store at best buy and used an upgrade on a 2gb line (nationwide share plan). They said they have to activate the phone, which is fine since it went to the 2gb line. After I left the store, I popped in my udp sim card from my note 2 and voila. They're offering a bonus 200 trade in gift card for a working smart phone until 10/31, but I figured I'd hang onto my note 2 for a backup if needed. I may even buy a cheap Craigslist phone and turn it in to best buy for that gift card. $95 for a note 4 with udp ain't too shabby.
Anyone that ordered from Amazon actually get any info on shipping yet? This is kinda crazy.

Ok here's the deal I'm on Verizon Edge now with my Galaxy S5 and I am $150 away from being able to edge up to a new phone. I'm wondering if I take advantage of Best Buys deal can I use the $200 BB gift card towards paying what I owe on the S5 then trade it in for the Note 4. Anyone with some info would be great. Thanks
I dont think that would work since the gift card if for best buy and the money you owe is on your Verizon account. But maybe someone else can confirm
Thats kinda what I was thinking too.

Best buy gift card can only be used at best buy and best buy site. That would be nice if we could use it on other retailers because I sure have an outstanding balance on my VRZ account.
Just to add though, right now they are giving $200 credit for ANY working cell phone in any condition!!!! I picked up my Note 4 yesterday and turned in an iphone 4 with replaced screen from china (they could tell lol) and the edges of the screen were nicked up. Even if it was broken the computer still gave the $200 credit.
Trade in value given on BB website was only like $110.
Loving the Note 4, but miss root .
I got my note 4 at the Verizon store in BJ's (like SAMs Club if you are not familiar with it) They have a $200 credit at purchase (with new contract) for any working smartphone. I gave them my 1st gen droid incredible. trade in is $7.00 at Verizon.

Seems like most of you purchased through a retail store. Isn't activation free when you order through the ATT website?
AT&T online. I tried a corporate AT&T Store first, but they wouldn't let me pre-order under the AT&T Next plan unless I turned in my old phone at the time of the pre-order!
Where ever I can find the best price. In the past walmart, as they tend offer the best price (about 40 to 50 bucks cheaper). Just be sure to call AT&T and make sure you plan hasn't changed, I usually have to have my unlimited data plan put back on. With my Note 3 data was removed completely as was texting. I called AT&T as soon as I got to my car in the parking lot.
Just ordered my Note 4 today from Amazon as the stated offer it for $199.99 vs $299.99 from AT&T and 268.99 from Walmart (though I could not find a Walmart in my area that was offering it the Note 4 at all).

I don't know. I am in sales, so I guess I talked my way out of other fees like activation. I was surprised to see the price at the cashier, but didn't say anything. Funny, but my BoA declined debit card transaction as suspicious, so I used credit card. Just looked at it online and it is $205.66

That's awesome - I did the same deal here in LA, but got hit with the full tax. Still not bad at $266 out of the door.........
Swappa.com Used $690. not counting the used value $200 of my Note 2 N7100 I am keeping and saving $25 a month in smartphone fees
Those who signed contracts should not forget to add the extra $360-$600 in higher fees for subsidized phones at $40 per month
