Note: Mods have marked the post as 'Targeted' because you're technically at the mercy of customer service to get the loyalty discount (which is fair enough) but there's essentially a 100% success rate from what I can gather.

Looks like the deal got extended till 4th May. I've made a new post as previous post didn't include the 10% off details which I've explained below.

Further Stackables

  • $50 Newsletter voucher through here
  • 10% off Loyalty Code by emailing [email protected]. Alternatively call 1300 362 603, select option 9 on first screen, then option 4 on second screen, and explain to the rep that you want the loyalty discount. The loyalty voucher is 10% off the price after trade-in discounts and before the $50 newsletter. Note: As per comments, ask for the 10% loyalty bonus because you're trading in, the 15% bonus will not stack.

As we all know selling our old device on eBay yields much better returns than sending it in for trade-in. However if you do not send in your device, you still get the trade-in bonus, but get charged a non-return fee. This fee is $60 if your device's trade-in value is more than $60, else it's $30. So what we do is we tell the trade-in app our trade-in device has a cracked screen.

Instructions

  1. Download trade up app on your trade-in device, when going through the checks, tell it that the screen is cracked. Depending on the device, it will say the trade-in value is $1. After going through this, you'll get the trade in voucher.
  2. Obtain the newsletter and the loyalty voucher.
  3. Add the phone to cart. The trade-in bonus will not appear until adding item to cart. This is also where you input the loyalty and newsletter voucher.
  4. Buy.
  5. Comment below so I feel better about myself impulse buying an S23 Ultra.

Cost for an S23 128GB: ($1149 device cost [on sale currently] - $400 trade-in bonus) * 0.9 loyalty voucher - $50 newsletter + $30 trade-in device non-return fee

= $654.1

Also remember to fill out the other bargain for getting the free galaxy buds 2 pro even though it's expired. Who knows, maybe they'll honour it regardless.

Enjoy :)

Notes
- As confirmed in comments below, newsletter and loyalty do stack. Just might have to try a few times.
- Use eBay's 'already sold items' filter to gauge how much you can get for your old device, and then sell via eBay. Always express post for a few bucks more, customer will be much happier and less likely to want refunds.
- Do not sell on marketplace, people will lowball and ghost you to death. You will lose braincells in the thousands.

EDIT: Looks like the deal got extended yet again to 14 May. I'm guessing they're moving a lot of stock which is good for them given their horrible quarterly profits.

    What's the oldest/cheapest Samsung I can use for trade-in? I've got an S6. Or can I get a friend to run the trade in app, and just give me the code?

      S8. But you can also generate a code by trading in galaxy buds and it doesn't require you to imput serial numbers.

      S7 worked with this promo. Applied both loyalty discount code and newsletter code (stacked fine, via cash rewards window, credit card). Loyalty discount via call was faster than email. Almost no hold time. Samsung chat does not give codes.

      Note the rep said there are two loyalty codes. If you are trading up, 10% can be applied. If you are not trading up and moving from Apple, 15%.

      Newsletter code that worked was FTY-K9CZ-8LG2-X2C7.

  • Sammyboy on 03/05/2023 - 08:59

    I wonder if could say cracked fitbit screen .. could also be $1 then without worrying about IMEI
    You wouldn't buy any used phone these days, esp a Samsung, as the chances of a traded IMEI on the device are pretty high, potentially rendering it useless for trading it in yourself.

    • truetypezk on 03/05/2023 - 09:14

      Just trade in an "other" earbuds/headphone. There is no condition declaration required. I think a dead one might also be fine and well worth the $1.

      • wordsmith on 03/05/2023 - 13:57

        Does that get done through the Trade-Up app as well?

    Just an FYI I ordered a new watch from the Samsung store on 5 March and it still hasn't arrived. Apparently Samsung are "upgrading their delivery system" so we're supposed to expect 3 month delays.

    You will be charged the $400 trade in discount if you don't send the phone in.

    WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T SEND IN MY TRADE IN DEVICE?
    You have 7 days to return your device to Asurion once you receive your new eligible Galaxy device. If you do not return your device within 14 days, you will be automatically charged a Late Return Fee of up to $60, which is non-refundable. The Security Charge will be held until your device is received and graded. Samsung may also charge you for any additional bonus credit applied to your order.

    • meong on 03/05/2023 - 12:51

      no, you will only be charged the trade-in value +$60, not trade in discount.

    • Sammyboy on 03/05/2023 - 20:33

      I have a feeling Samsung / Asurion will start charging the bonus credit amount as well soon as so many people are not posting in.

    I also have a Note 9. Even though I do get the trade-in ID, Samsung website says it's invalid.

      I had this problem the other day when I was doing the trade in. What fixed it was changing the display font to huge in your phone settings then returning to the trade in app. This allowed me to select the drop down menus.

              @Hank233333: I also tried different screen zoom together with font size and eventually one of the combination works for me. It's like the options weren't there so you are clicking what's behind the options, so if you zoom in enough so your click doesn't touch anything else on the background then it will works.

              • Hank233333 on 03/05/2023 - 10:24

                @Kingduytan: Hi Kingduytan, thank you for the method. However, I can't zoom at all.

                  @Hank233333: Oh I meant the option under Settings > Display > Screen Zoom, not actual trying to zoom the app/web page itself.

    • flagger on 03/05/2023 - 11:12

      This also happened to me on a Galaxy S8. I set the TradeUp app to a floating window then had to tap the dropdown menu heaps of times (like 50 plus) until it finally registered. Had to do this twice as there are 2 address inputs in the app. Thumbs down.

  • snortingkfc on 03/05/2023 - 09:53

    Anyone else have trouble using the Samsung finance payment option? No matter what way I pay (by credit card or account number) I can't get the SMS verification code sent to me. The mobile number connected to my account is correct and I've even tried a second mobile but can't receive the SMS therefore can't checkout.

        $1919 (JB Hi-Fi price at the time)
        - $750 (for joining Telstra $69/M 1-year plan)
        - $300 (Device trade-in bonus)
        - Trade-in device value ($500 for my S22)

      Don't think it's possible - online systems can only deal with one card so they know if it's successfully charged in totality. separate cards means you could get into a situation where some cards are charged already, but some failed (didn't have enough credits for example), so the transaction is a fail, but some cards are already charged….

    Done the impulse buying on s23u 256gb!! LOL

    Btw, the newsletter voucher can't be stack with loyalty bonus. If you put both, on the payment page, you can see the price changed; removing the $50.

    So s23u $1749 - $500 (trade in bonus) - 10% (loyalty voucher) - 4% (cashreward) = $1095

    • sohomel on 03/05/2023 - 10:30

        I am planning to send the trade-in once I received the S23U.

        I read people were talking about not sending will be charged $30 (my device is $1 trade in value) and selling it private might get more. But I read in the T&C it has something like this.

        WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T SEND IN MY TRADE IN DEVICE?
        You have 7 days to return your device to Asurion once you receive your new eligible Galaxy device.

        See the last line. I am afraid if Samsung may charge me back for any bonus credit applied (the $500??).

          Don't select phone as trade in. Select 'other' wearable device from the list headphone. You can get a wired headphone from Kmart for $9 and return it.

          Also, the $50 newsletter voucher can stake with loyalty bonus as long as you 1) sign in the Samsung Account and 2) enter the same email address as the one that you use to register for the newsletter voucher. I got mine S23U for $1073.2 plus the galaxy buds 2.

            I have tried 4 times even using Chrome incognito mode everytime at the payment page it remove the newsletter voucher.

            Perhaps it required one to sign into Samsung Account?

            You got a very good price there for $1073 with buds2!!

            • alantsang2 on 03/05/2023 - 11:03

              @psychoacid: I tried Chrome incognito mode and multiple other methods but all without success. The $50 voucher just disappear when you select any payment options.

              Samsung chat team suggests to me that I should create a Samsung account. You will need to sign in the account before entering the trade in code and the voucher code. Make sure you use the same email address for the Samsung account.

              I should be able to bring down the price a bit but I forget about the cashreward.

              • psychoacid on 03/05/2023 - 11:06

                @alantsang2: Ah, that made sense. I didn't know about the sign into Samsung account. Oh well, with cashreward getting it at $1095 still pretty good price.

                OP should edit and put in the Cashreward deal as well. Its 4% which can be up to $50 savings depending on devices

      Because the credit is given when you purchase. What people don't realise is that if you don't return the phone Asurion may charge your CC the trade-in credit you received when you purchased, and not just the $30/$60. This is what happened to me. Be careful with Asurion.

    Thanks Wizco for the detailed instructions. I have seen these posts before and it all seemed to hard. But I have just order a Graphite S23 256GB for $713.20 following your detailed step by step which I am very pleased about. Looking forward to retiring my S9.

    When speaking to Samsung customer care to get the trade in code they mentioned I would be eligible for some samsung galaxy buds and gave me another code in the email. Any idea how that is claimed?

      Call them up? That's what I did because they were slow to respond to my emails.

        Thanks.
        What's phone number.

      Same. I called and said i would be contacted but nothing so far

      Good thing Samsung has low prices because their customer service is just absolute sh*t! compared to Apple it is night and day how easy it is to sort something out. Most of the time it is impossible to get in contact with the right people at Samsung
