Buy from Samsung, Best Buy or ATT?

[geraldem]

Hi all. So definitely want the S9+. I have always bought from BestBuy the unlocked version. I have never bought direct from Samsung. Any issues or advantages there I should be aware of?
thanks

Well best buy is giving an additional 100 off. So there's that.

Yeah, not for the unlocked version though.

The only advantage to buying directly through Samsung is if you have a super old smartphone that you'd like to trade in. My old Droid Maxx from 2013 is worth $50 trade in credit from Samsung whereas I get $0 from anywhere else. I also used Ebates for 6% cash back (I think it's down to 3% now). Also, through Samsung tax is calculated after your trade in credit vs on the full retail price of the phone. I'm not sure if Best Buy does that or not.
