[Pre Order] Samsung Galaxy S24 + Tablet/Buds/Watch + Samsung Care from $882.58 (with Non-Return Trade-in) @ Samsung EDU & App

2521
GALAXYAI

There's the generic deal page but I thought I'd post this separately because of trade-in shenanigans.

Update: Looks like most addons are OOS.

Update 2: Well done, y'all have managed to clean out most of Samsung EDU Australia Mobile. Stay safe and stay inside, UV Index through the moon most days 🌚

Note: If you don't want to bother with the app, just order using your PC. You'll lose out on the 5% off extra which isn't too bad.

Alrighty.

Part 1:
1) Download the Samsung Shop App
2) In settings switch to the EDU account
If you've already used the first mobile order discount, you can create a new EDU account. For example if you signed up with Samsung EDU directly then use UniDays to make a new account or vice versa.

Part 2:
1) On the mobile app add an S24 256GB to cart
2) Select the free 1 year Samsung Care
3) Select nothing to trade in (we'll do this later)
4) In the next page it'll ask you to add extra stuff. Add your addons as desired as per the deal combination section after these instructions.
5) On the checkout page input the GALAXYAI voucher.

Part 3)
1) Download the Samsung Trade In app on your phone. Edit: You can also do this directly during check out. Select "I am new to trade in" on check out.
2) Go through the promts, and make sure to select SCREEN CRACKED. This ensures your device value is $1 so you pay $30 non-return fee; if your device tradein value is more than $30 then you pay $60. This is because you are NOT sending in your device to Samsung.
3) Obtain trade-in code

Part 4) Redeem bonus trade-in code
1) Check out and pay the amount with the 5% off mobile.


Deal #1: Galaxy S24 + Galaxy Tab S9 for $1558.03 OOS

The maths:

(S24 $1119.20 + Tab S9 $1039.20 - $100 eVoucher - $200 GALAXYAI code - $250 trade in bonus - $1 device value) * 0.95 mobile app 5% off = $1527.03

Now you'll be charged a non-return fee after I think 2 weeks after your stuff is delivered = $30 non-return fee + $1 device value = $31

Total $1527.03 + $31 = $1558.03


Deal #2: Galaxy S24 + Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus for $1330.03 OOS

Cost works out to be:
(S24 $1119.20 + Tab S9 FE Plus $799.20 - $100 eVoucher - $200 GALAXYAI code - $250 trade in bonus - $1 device value) * 0.95 mobile app 5% off = $1299.03

Non-return fees = $30 + $1 = $31

Total $1330.03.


Deal #3: Galaxy S24 + 3 x Galaxy Buds FE + 25W Charger for $882.58 OOS

Yes this deal involves buying THREE Galaxy Buds FEs

Follow same instructions as above but instead of the tablet add 3 x Galaxy Buds FE and a 25W Charger.

(S24 $1119.20 + 3 x Buds FE $99 + 25W Charger $31.2 - $100 eVoucher - $200 GALAXYAI code - $250 trade in bonus - $1 device value) * 0.95 mobile app 5% off = $851.58

Non-return fees = $30 + $1 = $31

Total = $882.58

Go nuts flooding eBay and marketplace with the extra Buds FEs :) Or mail me one 🙃


Deal #4: Galaxy S24 + Galaxy Watch 6 40mm Bluetooth for $925.44 OOS

(S24 $1119.20 + Watch 6 $373.32 - $100 eVoucher - $200 GALAXYAI code - $250 trade in bonus - $1 device value) * 0.95 mobile app 5% off = $894.44

Non-return fees = $30 + $1 = $31

Total = $925.44


Deal #5: Galaxy S24 + Galaxy Tab S9 FE for $1140.03 OOS

Cost works out to be:
(S24 $1119.20 + Tab S9 FE Plus $599.20 - $100 eVoucher - $200 GALAXYAI code - $250 trade in bonus - $1 device value) * 0.95 mobile app 5% off = $1109.03

Non-return fees = $30 + $1 = $31

Total $1140.03


Deal #6: Galaxy S24 + 4 x Galaxy Buds FE for $946.99 OOS

Yes this deal involves buying FOUR Galaxy Buds FEs

Follow same instructions as above but instead of the tablet add 4 x Galaxy Buds FE.

(S24 $1119.20 + 3 x Buds FE $99 + 25W Charger $31.2 - $100 eVoucher - $200 GALAXYAI code - $250 trade in bonus - $1 device value) * 0.95 mobile app 5% off = $915.99

Non-return fees = $30 + $1 = $31

Total = $946.99

Go nuts flooding eBay and marketplace with the extra Buds FEs :) Or mail me one 🙃

  • If i am getting trade-in value $10, and then don't send the phone for trade in ? How much will i have to pay in fee ?
    I read $30 fee for $1 trade-in. But does it change if value is 10?

    • +1

      No

    • It should be trade in value + $30 so in your case:

      $10 + $30 = $40

  • Thanks for sharing, grabbed one without trade in, coz technically it's cheating… anyway very happy already

  • Can someone please confirm, if I trade in my S23U but don't send the phone in is the phone now locked out and unable to be used or sold separately?

    • If you don't send the phone in, your phone will explode.💥🤯💥

      Just kidding, nothing will happen to your phone.

    • Will they charge you the full trade in value ?

      • of course

      • Apparently just a $60 fee and the $1 item cost

  • -3

    Anyone not able to see any phones in their Samsung education store? Only tvs etc

    • +1

      "Samsung was not given a license to sell mobile phones on iOS. " From Samsung shop support.

      • Don't know why you neg this deal as that is a decision Apple enforced onto Samsung.

        It only affects iOS users who do not have access to Android phone or bluestack who also want the 5% first time purchase on the Samsung Shop app.

  • Great post OP 🙌

    What's everyone's thoughts on upgrading from a Pixel 7? Are we still in a state of diminished returns with the S24 when you compare processors and cameras? Camera quality is probably my no. 1 priority. Cheers OBers

    • +1

      Tensor (Exynos) to Exynos? Skip.
      Camera quality - S24's camera is the same as the S23 which was the same as the S22…

      I think Pixel 7's camera is better than S24/23/22 at photos (particularly things in motion) but not at recording

  • If I follow option #4 the watch can't be added. Have I missed a step? Perhaps sold out on the watches?

    • +1

      yep, sold out. just buy another band if the band is the one sold out

    • +1

      Post updated. Watches all gone.

  • What did I do wrong? I can’t even search the phone in the app

    • Same. Any thoughts ?

      • No any mobile phone come up, only appliances on app, using iOS app.

        • Use an android phone instead

    • When typing mobile phone or phone in search and click on the suggested result. For some reason, the search doesn't work properly.

  • +3

    Thank you for the OP for such detailed post. It helped me save a lot of money.

    Here was my purchase:

    • Government portal (family member had a gov email address)
    • $1759 - Galaxy S24 Ultra 258GB 12GB (govt portal price, this was 150 cheaper than the 512 GB and the smaller storage is fine for me)
    • 1 Year Samsung Care FREE
    • $517 Galaxy Watch 6 LTE 44mm (GOVT portal price)
    • minus $250 - Trade in (trade-in is less on govt portal, normally $350)
    • minus $150 - Samsung S20 (I'll be trading it in)
    • minus $150 - Accessory discount (standard on the website)
    • minus $200 - Loyalty discount ( I went on chat at 7 am this morning, said I want to purchase an S24 ultra and the bot basically gave me a code instantly)
    * minus $200 - Pre-Order Discount (GALAXYAI)

    (note I did not use the Shop app as it doesn't support govt so I gave up the 5% discount however the govt prices were good)

    So total was $1326 for a S24 Ultra 256 GB + Galaxy Watch 6 44mm LTE + 1 year Samsung care - my old S20 which I would be too lazy to sell anyway.

    • Hi, is the loyalty discount only available for Ultra? not the 24?

      • +1

        Yes

    • Hey! How did you get the loyalty discount?

      • +1

        Via the website, you may need to be logged in to make it easier, just click on the bottom right chat icon and ask for a loyalty discount. I think the CME discount is for the Ultra and they seem to be giving it way without any issues. If you dont intend to buy the utra just say what you do intend to buy but then your luck may vary.

        • Do you have to be speaking to an actual customer service rep? The bot chat doesn't allow me to get a loyalty discount.

  • I don’t see any option to change my trade in to crack screen, the minimum trade in value is $5, how to make it $1?

    • Mate, it's $4…

    • I selected an really old phone and marked the screen as having blemishes and it dropped it to $1.

  • Initially I intended to trade in my S22 and put my order in already, but now I am thinking of keeping the S22 to pass onto my family
    Would there be any issue not sending the phone in considering I gave them the IMEI?

    • just pay the non return fee.

    • I think it will be a $60 fee. So you will be charged $60 + the trade in value

  • I'm so lost on the 3x Buds part for deal#3 It's just adding the cost of them? I need another coffee.

    • +1

      No you literally add three Galaxy Buds FE + a 25 W charger brick to cart. This is to hit the $300 mark so we get $300 off ($100 eVoucher + $200 GALAXYAI).

      • +2

        Ohhhh I see. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my question. I'm putting you in my will ! 😀

        • +1

          Hahaha you can leave me one of your Galaxy Buds 😂

  • +1

    Any chance this, or similar discounts, are available to educators, teachers? 🤔

    • As long as you have a edu.au email address it is also available to you

    • Of course, use your staff EDU email :)

      • -2

        how can i get an edu email without being a student?

        any help would be great.

        • If you know anyone with a edu email (and they aren't going to ever use it to set up a samsung edu account for themselves) all they need to do is click on a link for you that samsung will send them. You dont need access to their edu account.

          Do you have any kids or nephew or neices?

          • @Nice one baby: Is there a way to get a student email for an 8 year old starting grade 3? In SA.

          • @Nice one baby: do primary school kids get an edu email or only high school students?

            • @pinkybrain: Both primary school and high school students get edu email accounts.

              • @Springfield: How do you get an edu email for primary school student? In SA if that matters.

  • +2

    Couldn't resist:

    Education portal - via family email.

    $2,199 - Galaxy S24 Ultra 256GB = $1,041.38
    1 Year Samsung Care FREE
    $510 Galaxy Watch 6 (watch face only), 44mm bluetooth = $267.95
    $89 Galaxy Watch6 Sports band = $56.67
    minus $250 - Trade in bonus - Samsung S9+ (value was only $1, but terms and conditions still state a $60 fee regardless if under $30 value as stated in your post, so I think regardless of phone cost its $60 fee. Might be good for someone to confirm this further)
    minus $150 - eVoucher
    minus $200 - Loyalty discount (from chat in the checkout.)
    minus $200 - GALAXYAI code

    Total
    $1,366

    Total savings
    $1,432

    • Did the code start with CME?

      • Yeah starts with CME, on computer look bottom right for live chat head.

    • Where/How do I trade in to get value showing $1. I have S8.

    • how did you get this eVoucher?

    • Just did recently. With $1 trade in - penalty from not sending in was $30.

    • How the first line? From $2199 reduced to $1041? Was that discounted price on the portal or it is after all the hoops and codes pls

  • Does galaxyai and ubique cme codes lose 100 value each at midnight ?

  • $150 - eVoucher - How do we get this?

    • +2

      Automatically added

      • does it require hitting a certain price amount to get the evoucher?

        • Nope, but you do need to have a trade in to trigger it.

          I select the phone I want and then under it, it asks if you are doing a trade in. Put in your trade in code (or just say you are new and select your phone instead) and then when you click next, it will say something like "you have $150 evoucher to spend"

          Recommend you to spend around $350 as the GALAXYAI code will give you another $200.

          • @CodeXD: yeah thanks..

            do you know how to get an edu account without being a student?

            that needs to be a student or educational staff right?

            • @pinkybrain: Yes, or find someone who has access to edu.au email. Same discount for Samsung EPP so if you know someone in the government with gov.au email it will also work.

              • @CodeXD:

                Yes, or find someone who has access to edu.au email.

                does that mean you share the same edu.au email as them and they buy for you?
                or you create another account using the same edu.au email of theirs?

                or they create another edu email address for you?

                Same discount for Samsung EPP so if you know someone in the government with gov.au email it will also work.

                yeah i don't know anyone with gov.au email or edu.au..

                if you know of a way to help me get one, this would be great.

                • @pinkybrain: You use your own personal email to setup the edu store sign in.
                  Samsung asks you for the .edu.au email address and sends a confirmation email for the owner of that email address to click on a confirming link.
                  Only one samsung edu account can be set up for each .edu.au email, so you’ll need to find a friend with one.
                  Do you know any kids at school, volunteer firefighters, council workers?

        • I got it to activate before doing any trade in. I selected a s24 phone and preordered then it told me I had $150 to spend on accessories so added to order. Use GALAXYAI code after that to get the extra discount on accessories. $200 extra for s24 ultra, $150 extra for non ultra. Hope that helps, was a very long day with this!

  • When you input the IMEI for the trade in. Does it have to be a Samsung phone? Or can it be another android phone or an iPhone?

    • +1

      only the phones that are allowed as trade in which can include iphone (you need to check the allowed models)

  • Just tried to contact Live Chat about the loyalty discount towards the S24 Ultra. The guy was adamant that such voucher does not exist, and the only discount is the trade in bonus that is automatically applied. Spent an hour in queue and got nothing..

    • Login to your existing account, the chat comes up immediately without a wait time for me. And make up some stuff like you want to purchase for you and someone else so they are more inclined to give out the voucher.

      • Thanks for the response. Decided to give it another try and worked this time, got my code!

    • That’s the loyal discount, $200 trade in bonus

  • I tick crack screen and it's worth $5. Do I still pay the $30?

    They didn't ask for credit card.
    Where will they charge money from?

    • Did you manage to successfully checkout without giving them your credit card for the tradein?

      • They didn't ask anything in the app.
        However the app state the code only use in the store. Is it true?

  • +10

    PSA: You can cancel any unneeded accessories to further reduce your order total.

    1. After ordering, head to your order history or use this link - if your order status is awaiting review, you’ll need to wait until it moves to processing
    2. Find the cancel order option and select that - don’t worry there will be a popup to confirm cancellation
    3. Select all the accessories you want to cancel and select a reason - you can see the refund amount under each item
    4. Voila! Your new order total should be updated and you’ll receive a refund for any cancelled items
    • Will it remove your discount ?

      • no because the discount is applied proportionally across all items in your order

        • I think there is extra discount doing this because part of the galaxyai code discount goes to the phone and not the accessories looking at the order. As needed accessories to get the full discount? But yeah hopefully it works for everyone so we know for next time!

    • +1

      Just an FYI that they can cancel your order if you do this.

      From memory I've had this happen a few years ago I think during the S20 FE or the S21 launches I can't remember which, I used to own both phones.

      But do let us know if it goes through because if it does, you're getting an insane deal on the vanilla S24.

      • If this doesn't work, i guess we could wait until delivery to return the uneeded items?

        • This is risky as you'll be buying things you don't want/need.

          They might say it was all bought together with bundle discounts so you'll need to return everything if you want a refund.

          • @CodeXD: Let's hope samsung is big enough to not care. I think website glitched for fanatec on black friday where people were getting stacked discounts from cancelled items and all the orders got cancelled.

    • Worried whole order gets cancelled and then lose the 5% first order discount too? If they cancel the order. Would be good to get discount and delete accessories.

    • Has anyone actually tried this and succeeded without having the whole order cancelled, and the discounts remaining applied?

  • The trade in app wont accept my old Pixel or Sony phones. Is there any other way to get the $250 trade in discount, that people know of?

    • buy an old qualified phone on gumtree

  • +4

    I used my child's education.nsw.gov.au email address and it worked.

  • right through to the final screen and I got an ? Internal server error - something gone wrong

    this was AFTER my Drivers license uploads and Credit card details.
    Ive received notifcation that my CC has now been debited for the security part of the trade in, but dont have any order confirmation from Samsung.
    FFS

    • The trade in app is a steaming piece of 💩. Try doing the trade in directly at checkout.

  • -2

    I got it down to $408 for S24 - practically giving it away!

    • how exactly?

    • +1

      No you didn’t.

      • Probably trading in something and making it sound like that didn't cost him/her anything.

    • +3

      I got my S24 Ultra for FREE (I traded in my house)

  • I dont have an Edu account, is there a way to set one up to use for the deal?

    • +1

      If you dont have edu account, find someone close to you who does, friends/family.

      If you cannot find someone then this deal is not for you.

    • +1

      join a free TAFE couse, get .edu email, buy a phone, withdraw

  • Hi. What happen if you not gonna send the trade in phone? Just ignore the email?

    How long it'd take for them to charge back?
