Should I take this deal and Fold 2?

[Android Central Question]

Hello all,

Here's my situation.

I'm in love with the Fold 2 and aware of some of it's drawbacks one of which is the price however I'm thinking of my where I'm at in the lifecycle/timing of my phone purchase.

So I'm with Verizon, have two S9+'s and an Asus Zen V Live phone. All are paid off.

Sadly, my wife cracked her screen a month ago and don't want her to "live" with the phone. Lastly, the S9+ speaker phones sound muffled and are unusable which is a known factory defect. So can't use the speaker phones! UGH!

So I noticed a promo that Verizon was giving me.......

Verizon gave me a BOGO ($1,000) and a credit for my S9+ ($550) and I used $55 device dollars which I think is a great deal BUT, I'm thinking a year from now, when I want to get out of this deal to get the Fold 3, I will lose all my credits of the BOGO and the trade-in which really blows but then how else would I get it?

I'm also thinking do I wait for Black Friday/Cyber Monday for the best deals? However, I'm doubtful there going to beat this already strong offer from Verizon by any significance.

I can wait for new phones. I'm not desperate here but would like to get into the fold. What should I do here guys?

Check out the deal on Samsung and match the two. Maybe Samsung can work better for you. I went that route and traded in my Z Flip for $800 off plus company discount. May not beat Verizon but it can keep your options open if you're looking for the Fold 3 in a year.

I did that but they only would give $175 for my phone.

Are you a current Verizon customer...is that deal for new line ? Not upgrading ?

I'm a current Verizon customer. It's for a new line. Not an upgrade offer.

Well I am taking Samsung's $1000 offer for my current Galaxy Fold. I am enjoying the Fold, and I am ready to trade up to the new one. The Fold has been great with no issues.

On the Samsung US website, when you go to trade in the Fold for a Z Fold 2, on the second page it also offers an A71 5G (Verizon) for free which you could then sell as brand new sealed if you don't want/need it, which would in the end bring down the actual cost of the Z Fold 2 even lower.

It does show "$100 extra" at first but when you actually select it and proceed to the final checkout page, it costs nothing. So literally a free phone.

I went with the unlocked phone, traded in an AT&T locked phone. No additional deals in my offer.
