Launch day price fluctuation?

[barkomatic]

At around 9am this morning, I priced out a Fold 6 with a trade in and when I went back in I *thought* the price went up--but maybe I misremembered. Does the price sometimes fluctuate during the pre-order window?

Not necessarily the price, but trade-in value has fluctuated before which does inturn change the price you pay for the device.

The price of my trade in value didn't change yet-- but I do know that will go down over time. I also know the launch promo will go away but this year and last it seemed I would get a different price on different visits. Ah well, I'm going crazy.

I've been doing trade in for several devices during launch.

No, normally the price stay the same until it delivery. It normally not go on sales for two weeks or so and then the trade in return some time better during launch (not all the time). And sometime the carrier will give you a better trade.

What I found interesting because I cancelled my order is that the Spen case dropped by about 20 dollars on the new order the next day.

Incidentally, by ordering through the app I received an additional 50 dollars off. I used to order only online because I also wanted to go through Rakuten to get cash back. What I discovered is you can have both the extra discount and Rakuten cash back by leaving the items in the app cart. Then login to Rakuten to launch the Samsung web site and login. Your cart will be there waiting and you qualify for the cash back.

Thanks for sharing this tip!

Depends too if you are using an affiliate app (some youtubers as an example), the Samsung App, through Rakuten, or even through AAA (I used before).

For the Fold 6, I went through a YTs link and got an extra 100 discount off the phone.

Super Saf and some other YTs are advertising a link with 100 Samsung Store credit. I think it's all BS, because I haven't found 1 that works yet.

Update: just checked AAA, they'll give you an extra 30 off with trade in

Some of the offers don't stack....I've seen that happen

True. I've seen that as well.

I also forgot to mention that last year I used AAA and was able to activate Rakuten at purchase.
