S21 Preorder Samsung Online

[azdmelani]

mmm, i ordered on samsung.com, @jlangner, where did you order from please?

i paid a total of $770, which is a whopping $200 more, i wonder why?

i bought the S21 Ultra 512gb, trading in the S20 Ultra, so that went from $1379.99 purchase price minus $700 trade in value.

the other stuff i bought were all at $0 due to the $250 freebies that you're able to buy but you must buy ON THIS ORDER (i.e. can't buy later).

so $1379.99 - $700 = $679.99

comparing oranges to oranges, you said BEFORE sales tax, so your $579 compares with my $679.

where would the $100 difference come from? confused!!

Could it be an educator or a first responder discount?

Anyone else get cash back from Rakuten that was 2% instead of 10%? I emailed them with a screenshot. I want my $$

I receive 10% but it wasn’t at the full retail price Like it normally is. This time they gave me 10% based on the purchase after trade in.

Yeah, I've always wondered if the T-Mo version is as good spectrum and data wise as the unlocked version on their network

I prefer t-mobile one. I have used both and just seem to like better. Besides t-mobile has what 4 apps installed...just uninstall if don't like. Besides get an extra $100 off for t-mobile version.

Mine was 2% of the price I paid on my CC. Should have been $50 but was $10

Yes but problem is you only get 128gb. I wish they had 256gb.

Yes but unfortunately they are only offering 128Gb, I wish they offered both 128 n 256.

[azdmelani]

Same happened for me! Emailing them now.

I'm still debating if T-mobile is worth it.

I ended up cancelling and reordering. Still shows shipping by 1/27.

If you use code 50LATESTGALAXY5G it gives you the $50 credit without having to use a link.

I was able to get the ultra 128GB in phantom silver and the buds pro, violet case and wireless duo for "free" coupled with what should be $55 in Rakuten cash.

Anybody get this message after ordering:

“Your order had been cancelled because you have exceeded the maximum number of purchases and/or transactions allowed.”

I have never ordered from Samsung directly before and this was my first attempt ordering the S21.

That seems odd. Were you paying in full or on a payment plan?

In previous year's doing my pre-orders my order was held up for a couple of hours due some issues between my bank and Samsung. Something about the way the purchase goes through shows as potential fraud. Nowadays it is a lot more seamless as you just get a text to verify the purchase when they suspect something. Not sure if this is pertinent to your situation but felt it was worth passing along the information.

I was paying full price and trading in my iPhone 12.

I just re-submitted my order with a different card. I’ll see if that fixes the issue.
