How to get the best pre order deal from Samsung - Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion

So I finally ordered the S20FE 5G from Samsung US. Best deal in my opinion.
0. Sign up bonus on Rakuten and get$30 credit before ordering https://www.rakuten.com/r/88SALE
1. Preorder Phone -$699 https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/g...d-sm-g781uzbmxaa/?skipDevice=galaxy-s20-fe-5g
(Unlocked) 6GB/128GB model number is
SM-G781UZBMXAA which is same model as Amazon
You are right
It is 6GB. It's right there stated on this page under the "AP and RAM" section
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-s20-5g/s20-fe-5g/
The model number they are selling here matches the Amazon model and thus Amazon's 8GB is wrong too.
2. Use the Samsung $70 credit to get Galaxy Fit2 + Phone Silicon Cover free
3. Use Promo Code "ref-6njtsf" Get 5% off $35. Max discount is $100 depending on the phone.
4. Place order.
5. Once order is submitted, go back into order details and cancel the phone item. You will be asked reason and select Cheaper elsewhere - Amazon. You will then be offered 10% discount! Accept the offer!
My Samsung total cost came to $598.49! Difference from Amazon is that you get the free Fit2 and silicon cover.
Note the 10% discount will be refunded to your credit card after a few days.

sadly I missed all of the promo. However, I used education program to get 35$ off, and bought it. Few days latter.. finding out Amazon is 100$ less, so I live chatted with Samsung and asked for a price match and they promised to refund 100$ to my card lol...
Thus, I bought the phone at $564 with free stuff.. (without the tax
imagine I had 30$ credits.. might took it at price of $534

Just to update, the US pre order from Samsung is a 6GB. It's right there stated on this page under the "AP and RAM" section
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-s20-5g/s20-fe-5g/
The model number they are selling here matches the Amazon model and thus Amazon's 8GB is wrong too.

Looks like OP missed most important Price Match step, chat with agent to get a $100 discount code by asking price match to Amazon or Best Buy.
Also, you are welcome use my code ref-baz8ka to get additional 5% discount.
Thanks,

Neither one of the referral code are working for me

Here is another code ref-x73yfo, works for me just now.
Direct Link if code doesn't works

I got $100 off from Amazon, then another $100 off for applying for their credit card. $540 after tax.

I got the $200 off a new 5g phone from T-Mobile with an insider code. I am gonna keep my OnePlus 7 Pro incase I don't like the S20FE.

I signed up for the education discount. That brought the price down to $647.00. That was a 7.50% discount.
I confirmed that price and processed the order.
Next, I went to "My Orders" and clicked cancel. I chose the option for "found better price" and got a 10% discount on the site immediately. They took 10% off the original price ($699), not the discounted price. That brought the price to $576.00, before tax.
Expedited shipping is free.

just press new to att at the bottom. Select the lumia 900 and your plan and cart will show $100 discount
Wow, they really are not ruining this one with the price.
I got the $100 dollar discount, but that discount didn't make it free. It brought the price down from $199.99 to $99.99. I think $200 is the intended retail price, but a $100 promotion bring the price down to $100.
It might be free for others, but thats the way it worked with my company discount.
Mine came out to $0 due after discount. I already got confirmation that the order was processed and sent to the warehouse for shipping
Can I take advantage of this if I am on Sprint and I would like to transfer my line to an existing AT&T plan with my family? I'm new to AT&T even if they aren't.

Oneplus 3 Shipping and costs

hi there
i want to buy oneplus 3 and i wonder why on amazon and other sites the phone price is about 150$ higher
and what's the difference between if i buy it from oneplus site or another site like amazon or ebay or gearbest
and i wonder about if there will be any more fees for the shipping and how much time will it take to arrive to Morroco (africa)
and if they will give me a tracking code
you know you can try to put it in the cart and proceed until the shipping cost shows up right? without having to complete the order..
and yeah they did give me a tracking number
yeah i've tried that's after i made this post and been suprised to find out that's they don't support worldwide shipping
I'm in the US. When I ordered my OP3 directly from OnePlus, the standard shipping option was free of charge. However, I chose to pay the $10 to upgrade to faster shipping and received my phone in two business days. So, I paid $USD 410 in total to get my device in two days. It shipped from California.
If you're in Europe or Hong Kong, be aware that sales are being suspended from August 9 to September 12, so get your order in soon if that applies to you. Source: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/information-on-oneplus-3-availability-in-europe.458234/

Amazon is issuing refunds for some Galaxy Note 7 accessories

Amazon is issuing refunds for some Galaxy Note 7 accessories
http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/12/13262538/samsung-galaxy-note-7-amazon-accessory-refunds
So I just got of the phone with amazon and although you are outside the return period they will give refunds once they have received the products back. So when you contact Amazon choose the "phone call" option as the means to communicate with amazon on the returns.
I did this and they were very helpful. The biggest PITA part was having to box everything up individually based on how it was ordered but free ship back and refunds coming.
When I referenced the Note 7 recall they knew immediately what I was talking about so +1 for Amazon customer service
I did have a rather difficult time finding an actual phone number to call as they want to solve the worlds issues via chat or FAQs.
Here is what I used if anyone else wants it
1-888-280-4331
I used the chat feature and they set up individual returns for each item. I asked to be able to put them all together in one box but it had to be separate.
I realized that they were charging shipping. The rep said he would adjust the refund to credit the shipping fee back as well.

Same here. I have to pay $5 - $6 to refund a $10 case. Not worth the trouble

I got the $2 credit for a case, but one online chat changed all my returns to refund all the shipping.
The trouble was minimal. Print a label, drop the item in an envelope and drop it off.
They sent me prepaid labels. I was told to put all items (4 separate returns in one box) Put 4 separate labels on the box drop off at a USP location. I am doing that today, I will follow up when I get my credits.
Here's what I did.
1)Ask for the labels, explain that these are N7 items and it was out of your control
2) Ship them
3)You'll see that you're charged $6 for shipping
4)Chat with customer service after and ask them refund the shipping charges.
4) They will say yes and you'll get confirmation.
QED.
Wow, this is great to know. Thank you guys. I purchased a glass screen protector that broke trying to get off the phone and I threw it away, I'll probably be out of luck with that one, but maybe I'll ask them about it.
Samsung is going to let me keep the accessories and refund my money. I bought the led case and the clear case from the Samsung website with a coupon I had.
I will most likely sell both cases as a bundle on ebay or craiglist for cheap.

TMO giving $500 trade in for Samsung 9 series

I had actually ordered yesterday direct from Samsung which was giving $350 trade in for the same phone plus $70 for accessories. I just checked my Tmo app and saw this new Promo so I cancelled the Samsung order and put the order in with TMO which is giving the trade in values for purchase of a variety of the new Samsung phones. They charged $88 for taxes and upgrade fee, then give me a $125 credit when the old phone is returned and $375 in monthly bill credits. The bottom line is that I make $37 up from TMO and then have to pay $15 a month for 24 months.
You may or may not be able to use Insider code type 3 from TMO. $200 rebate.

It's only 3% for mobile. But they will match the BestBuy or others price of $100 less.. Ask for it over chat before you checkout...

Didn't work for me. Samsung chat said I had to call a phone number for price matching, then the person on the phone said they don't price match.

UPDATE: I MAY be getting the price match after all, but its not worth the drama.
A second person on chat told me they were 110% sure they were doing price matching, but you have to order first, then get the match. I went ahead and ordered and called yesterday to get the match, but they said they couldn't see it in their system yet, try later.
Called again today and was told I had to wait until the order was shipped to get the match. Spent about 20 min on the phone with them with nonsense.
After the call I decided to just cancel and buy from Amazon. Samsung's website then offered me 10% off to keep the order, so I said ok (credit applied after shipping). Theoretically I can still call when it ships and get the full price match.
Suggestions to avoid the drama:
1) buy from Samsung for $700, get 3% back from Rakuten, plus $70 instant credit on samsung.com, then cancel the order and accept the 10% rebate, OR
2) buy from Amazon for $600.

I'd rather buy from Samsung that's just me... I did the cancel thing after order on my fold 2 and got $100 back credited when they charged me for order once it shipped...if going that way you would usually get email telling you of the credit you will get at shipping... I would still chat them for the full $100 match... Don't know why they giving you such hard time... Ughhh sorry to hear it..
When I cancelled my order with Samsung it just cancelled and I was not offered any discount to continue with the purchase. Samsung was offering $350 trade in for the S9 plus $70 for accessories, which I generally find to be quite expensive at Samsung. So the $500 trade in from TMO gave me $80 more than I would have received from Samsung. Although I also like to buy direct from Samsung, I felt a little burned by them when they dropped the price of the Note 20 Ultra by $200 just three weeks after it was delivered.
When I ordered mine, Samsung told me I had to wait until it shipped. I traded in an iPhone 11 Pro, which took the phone down to $55.00 US. After it shipped I messaged them back, and they told me they couldn't refund more than I paid, so they gave me a $110.00 Samsung Credit code within about 2 hours.

SECOND UPDATE: I ended up getting both the 10% ($70) rebate for not cancelling AND the $100 price match, so yay me, I guess. So my final out the door price from Samsung was $530 USD (plus tax). That included the $70 credit at the Samsung store, which I used to buy a case and their little discount fitbit. I also got a 2% rebate from Rakuten and 1.5% from my credit card (Capitol One).
Traded in my OnePlus 6t for $500 trade in discount at T-mobile. Will pay about $9/mth for 2yrs
Once you realize that this device gets left out of their beta program, and their monthly updates. It doesn't looks as nice as it seems. October security patch was launched for all S20 devices, except the S20 FE. Beta program is the same, all S20 family devices except S20 FE. Not so appealing now.

General I saved an extra $100 with Honey, on top of work discount, $1557.49 for 512Gb

So folks, I just saved a bunch of money.. hopefully I can help others.
First, try perksatwork.com to see if your work email gets you access to Samsung's discounted prices. It's an overlay of Samsung store, so you still get the $200 in freebies, and the trade ins if desired.
I then used Honey extension to try codes on the site, and it found one taking another $100 off the order. Out the door, pre tax I paid $1557.49 for a 512Gb Black. Slamming good deal.

i paid 604.54 for a 512gb

No I'm not talking about the $200 in credits, and $100 towards the 512 over 256. I legit got another $242.50 off between work promo and a Honey code AFTER the promo that the public gets. I traded nothing, better value at Swappa for what I've got.
That is a pretty sweet deal especially for not trading anything in. I paid $846 out the door for an unlocked 512 ZFold 3, leather case, aramid case, spen, charger. Traded in my ZFold2.
I was only able to take advantage of their additional credit for early pre order.
the first day I got $250 off with Honey
Dope. I snagged mine for 130.
Carrier gave me $999 for my S10+ on trade in. Same for my daughters s9+ so hers was free.
