FANEDITION

26/01: I was just emailed by Samsung Loyalty about the CDS vouchers being made valid for purchases of the S21 FE.

After trying, I can confirm they work. They don't stack with the EDS $100 vouchers from the live chat sales team that were invalid from 25-31 Jan. Applying the CDS + MA9 newsletter codes brings the price down to $449 (trade-in excl. device value) or $749. To source a CDS voucher, email [email protected] with front & back photos and IMEI of a Samsung phone and state physical/water damage. Otherwise, S10 & older / out-of-warranty non-Samsung phones provide $100 vouchers.

31/01: Can confirm it still works.

01/02: EDS codes reported as available again - see paragraph detailing vouchers below.

Initial info (prices are lower if using $200 CDS, EDS now available again via chat)

S21 FE sale terms updated, free shipping. If you do not want to trade in, the price is $849 for the 128GB model with the vouchers detailed below. Same as Costco deal (membership req.) but direct from Samsung and throw in an accessory discount. $799 no vouchers required at Samsung Education/Partner Store if you have access to that.
Add $100 to final prices ($649 trade-in excluding the additional discount of the value of your device, $949 vouchers only) for 256GB storage.

10% discount flash sale ended, trade-in bonus upped from $250 back to $300 making the final price (when trading in) $50 more than previous deal, and same as the first deal. The value of the phone you're trading in is also deducted from the final price.
$100 dearer than last deal if you're not trading your old phone in and only using the EDS loyalty & newsletter vouchers (same as first deal).

If you are keeping your phone but using the trade-in service, keep in mind you will likely be charged Asurion's $60 admin fee plus the value of the device - but not the bonus. Also note the Samsung Trade-up App seems to throw a credit card verification error if using a debit card. Support: [email protected].

For $150 off use pre-existing vouchers: EDS $100 loyalty/ineligible trade-in (try another agent if you are denied a voucher, invalid 25 Jan but available again as of 1 Feb) + MA9 $50 email sign-up. Contact [email protected] to request a voucher as soon as you enter your address.

Use FANEDITION code for $50 off accessories added to your cart until 30 January (still works). Use this for a free fast charger. (Now only applies a discount to $69 45W charger, possibly other accessories.)

50% off Samsung Care+ and $100 discount with Samsung Upgrade still available.

Free Buds2 with every purchase until 30 January - Olive on pre-order for stock arriving 18 February which will delay your shipment, keep this in mind if you're ordering the corresponding Olive phone.

        I couldn't get the accessory code to work against the 35w charger so I just skipped it. Don't need it

  • profaner on 25/01/2022 - 11:20

    Can you get the $300 trade in bonus without actually trading a phone? I have old s8, trade in value is $5. Rather keep it as spare phone. Instead of sending it. If I dont send the phone, will I be charged $65?
    $60 for the admin fee and $5 for the phone.
    Any thoughts?

      $65 is all you'll be charged, correct.
      It's best when you have a low value phone.

    Ordered graphite (with black buds) using trade-in at around 4pm today. Confirm FANEDITION worked for the 45W charger.

    I can confirm that (for me) the "Sorry, due to an error, trade-in service is unavailable at the moment" error on trade-in was being caused by using a phone with IMEI that I had traded in on a previous S21 Ultra deal. Reinstalling the Tradeup app and using a different IMEI solved that problem immediately.

    I was given two $100 loyalty codes - didn't use this one so it may still work:
    EDS-A54D-35DA-61Z7 - please reply to this if you use it.

    • kampret on 25/01/2022 - 16:31

      What do you mean by reinstalling the app and using a different IMEI?

      • exxonsign on 25/01/2022 - 16:34
        +1

        I uninstalled and re-installed the Tradeup app on the phone I used for the trade in. At the point where it asks for the phone's IMEI, you can enter the IMEI from another phone of the same model.

    Anyone got spare newsletter EDS vouchers. I have tried the above, but I am receiving this from Samsung, "The code you entered did not affect your order. Please note, codes may only be valid for certain items or in certain conditions". I gave up getting EDS from chat people. I am getting nowhere.

      I have an old (5+ years) Samsung A3. Do you think if I email [email protected] they will give me a CDS voucher?

      I tried contacting the Samsung Chat for an EDS voucher but they said the vounchers expired on 25 Jan. Seem like other people have also had a similar experience.

      • Techie4066 on 26/01/2022 - 14:31

        Yes, email them with front/back photos and the IMEI, state that it has water damage or the like, and they'll either phone you for more details or provide the voucher straight up.

        • wildstone on 26/01/2022 - 17:18

          It worked for me. They ended up giving me a $200 voucher.

          This was in the disclaimer in the voucher email they sent back to me:
          "Samsung has updated the guidelines for Loyalty Vouchers as follows;
          Samsung phones that have physical damage - $200 Voucher
          Aged Samsung phones/models (Galaxy S10 or older) - $100 Voucher
          Non Samsung phones that is out of warranty (or bought 2 years ago and above) - $100 Voucher
          1. Voucher discounts will apply to the S21FE/S21/S21+/S21 Ultra/ZFLIP 3/ZFOLD 3 ONLY.
          2. Vouchers can be combined/stacked with ongoing promotions/offers (e.g. Trade-Up Bonus, Sign-Up Bonus)"

    Passing on my great thanks as well for a great deal. Just waiting on the newsletter voucher (have emailed) but it really seems to take some time - managed to score a $200 voucher for my S8 as well. This was the info I was given, I then just tactfully asked whether I would 'in theory' get $200 if my S8 was damaged, as I was just hoping to get the best deal. They just gave me the $200 voucher without asking anymore and were very helpful.

    "The voucher we have is only applicable to Galaxy Z Fold3, Galaxy Z Flip and S21 Series. Can only be use in Samsung Australia Website only and not in the store.
    Can apply the voucher code on the promo code section before checking out.
    And the voucher code we have is valid for 7 days only.
    If you have the device that is either:
    •
    a. Customer-induced damage (CID) - $200 CRP voucher discount.
    b. Aged phones/models (Galaxy S10 or older) - $100 CRP voucher discount"

    I managed to get the 256gb with an s8 trade it in for $544. Used the CID for $200 and new customer $50 discount to bring it down. Got the CID in 1hr, just took the pic of the front ,back of Note 10 and my Sim 2 number. Used my Note 10+ for the CID and used the s8 for trade in. Asurion does not show the $60 admin charge anymore. Not sure if that is the case. Thanks OP

    I'm thinking this is the most cumbersome BS to trade in perfectly intact 2 year old phones for a 1 year old phone on the eve of a brand new model. Maybe I'll wait for the early purchase discounts on S22

    • Techie4066 on 27/01/2022 - 22:08
      +1

      Might be cumbersome, but it's sending 2 email's worth of your time for $250. Seems like great value and cost-time efficiency to me!
      Besides that, for the trade-in, the system is about the same as the rest.

      And yeah, you should know this isn't for S21/S22 buyers. It's in a different league as the early discounts suggest, but it still has the same processor and very similar real life camera performance.

  • niiko on 27/01/2022 - 23:17

    Be careful with Samsung phones. If it suddenly dies (screen in my case), Samsung will claim that the phone is rooted (when it is not) and quote you $450 for repair.

    Proof:
    https://ibb.co/DMpXkgq

    This is how they deal with loyal customers (not anymore, s21+ my last Samsung phone) for 7 years.

    • Techie4066 on 27/01/2022 - 23:37

      Go direct to Fair Trading now. Collect all the evidence, emails etc and send it off. Worked for me! NCAT after that if needed (represent yourself).
      Samsung AU support is shit when you need a refund, believe me I know.

      What alternative brand do you suggest?

      • niiko on 28/01/2022 - 01:04
        +1

        I contacted Amazon first and they sent me a new one the next day. If Amazon didn't clean up sh*t after Samsung, I would contact Fair Trading.

        What alternative brand do you suggest?

        If you need good customer service and support then Apple. If you need Android - any phone you like. I thought Samsung is similar to Apple but they are similar to Chinese brands. There is no point to pay more unless you like specific features of Samsung phones or you like their design.

      If the screen of your phone dies, then your phone IS basically rooted….

      • niiko on 29/01/2022 - 00:59

        Please help to see the link between the root (software feature) and the screen (hardware). Not to mention how it could magically root itself because I certainly didn't. I don't even know how to do it and am too lazy to research. Every time I buy a new phone I promise myself to root it and install standard Android in 2 years when the warrenty expires, but instead in 2-3 years I was just buying a new phone and was giving myself the same promise.

        They confirmed a manufacturing defect with the screen and were ready to replace it free of cost. But they also found that the motherboard is rooted (whatever it means) and couldn't restore the phone without replacing the motherboard because the phone "won't pass their quality standards". So, either they replace both (the screen for free and the motherboard for $450) or nothing. That was their offer.

        The phone was completely ok, just the screen didn't turn on. I.e. android was working, I was receiving notifications and calls, it vibrated to button clicks as expected. Just an issue with the screen.

    Just wanted to understand what the lowest price is without a trade in (after your update)

    • Techie4066 on 28/01/2022 - 12:49

      Lowest price is $749 using the $200 + $50 vouchers. Use FANEDITION for $50 off the 45W charger.

      If you have an iPhone 7 / Galaxy S8 / Pixel 3 XL or up (and some other phones), you can get it for the trade-in price of $449 minus the phone's value, and if you don't send it in you'll be charged the value + $60 admin fee. Works out a fair bit cheaper.

      • gareth956 on 28/01/2022 - 14:08

    Hi everyone, I read this on the Samsung tradeup page:
    "If you do not to return your device in 7 days , you will be automatically charged the value of the trade-in credit plus a $60 (AUD) administration fee. Samsung may also charge you for any additional bonus credit which was applied to your order."
    From my understanding, they can actually charge you the trade up bonus (ie $300) if you don't return your device, is that right? From what I've read here, they haven't done that so far, but it does look like a possibility right?

    • Techie4066 on 28/01/2022 - 23:13

      It's a possibility but never done before. Samsung Shop's system, where the bonus is applied, looks separate to Asurion's.
      They weren't even charging anything until 1-2 months ago.

    If anyone needs a $100 CDS voucher, PM me. I sent the 'old phone' email by mistake and got the $100 voucher. Then sent another 'damaged phone' email and got and used up the $200 voucher. Therefore I have a spare $100 voucher I'm not going to use.

  • gamefreak on 30/01/2022 - 21:07

    Does anyone have a spare newsletter code please?

    Does anybody know if you can get the $300 trade bonus x2 in the same order if I have 2 eligible phones? ($300 off 2 s21 FE's, obviously not $600 off the one which would make it free lol) Cheers!

    "Sorry, due to an error, trade-in service is unavailable at the moment"

    REALLY

    • Techie4066 on 30/01/2022 - 22:16

      Reinstall app, do it again

      • nft-yes on 30/01/2022 - 22:17

        Nah i mean on the actual samsung website, i have the code

      • nft-yes on 30/01/2022 - 22:23

        do you mean get another code or?

        • Techie4066 on 30/01/2022 - 22:38
          +1

          Yeah you need a new code apparently. To register a "new" phone change the IMEI by one digit.

          • nft-yes on 30/01/2022 - 22:51

            @Techie4066: yeah thankyou :) it glitched out earlier on that phone and i never got to use the code, next time for that phone.
            Also do you know the answer to my question above? i cant see anywhere in the terms stating i cant, just dont want to waste my last trade code for today

            • Techie4066 on 30/01/2022 - 23:08

              @nft-yes: Not sure, you might have to process the orders separately to input 2x trade-ins.

              • nft-yes on 31/01/2022 - 00:42

                @Techie4066: Yep you are correct, I tried to do both, and it just removes your whole cart and starts with the "New" trade up, 1 trade up bonus per order not phone, have not seen this stated anywhere, probably worth while adding into the next trade up posts

    2. Vouchers can be combined/stacked with ongoing promotions/offers (e.g. Trade-Up Bonus, Sign-Up Bonus)

    3.The Voucher Code is valid for purchasing products from the Samsung Australia website only ( www.samsung.com.au ). It will stay active for the next 7 days.

    1. Updates on the webpage takes precedence over these disclaimers.

    2. Promotions may be changed at the sole discretion of Samsung Australia.

      Just tried mine - still works. FANEDITION also still works on the 45W charger.

      • Obs on 31/01/2022 - 12:14

        The nice folks at Samsung Loyalty sent me the terms and conditions and all the info, but didn't include a code. Knowing my luck, it will go out of stock again before they send me a code. Not going to bite for anything less than a $200 loyalty voucher.

      Nope, expired yesterday and removed from title.

  • Jeeyang on 01/02/2022 - 11:27

    My phone would not start. Do they accept it for trade-in?

  • Jdmmps on 01/02/2022 - 13:46

    Does anyone have a $50 newsletter voucher they are not using?

    • Rehmansayani on 01/02/2022 - 14:14
