Preparation for Samsung Black Friday Sale

inmeltingpot on 18/11/2024 - 14:57

Hi there,

I am keen to buy a new z fold 6 (or flip 6), hopefully from Samsung assuming they will be doing some big black friday sale.
I have been reading all the comments about stacking different discount codes, trade-in boosts and etc, but not sure what will be the best and cheapest way to stack discounts strategically.

I am currently using samsung phone A55, I could trade that in or I also have some old samsung phones in drawers I could trade-in (A53 and S10).
I have never bought anything off samsung website directly - I believe there's some new member and app 10% discount codes? Should I sign up and download app now for this? or wait until there's confirmed sale?
I am also a public servant so I do have a government work email address I could use in EPP? I have never tried EPP either, so not sure how it works either, but reading some latest updates, EPP no longer allows you to stack codes?
I also have AMEX card, so that extra $100 discount over $500 would be handy.

Is there anything I have missed? Any kind recommendation on what I need to do now to prepare for the sale?

I know PB tech currently has flip 5 on sale for $897 and I can get this by duty free for $826.80. Should I grab this deal? or is it definitely worth waiting for a better black friday sale deal directly with samsung for flip 6 or fold 6?

Look forward to hearing some good advice from our smart cheapies fellas!

    Not sure where, but I think I have seen something mentioning Amazon doing Samsung deals for Black Firday, so that might be an option.

    If you are interested in the trading and wait for the trade-in boost, you could try and use one of your old phones. Generally you will get less than if you sell them privately, but the goal is the trade-in boost value that you'll get from them.

    For the discount, the 10% first time app would be automatically on the app if you haven't made any purchases (I think it's on your account, but don't count me on this) while the member 10% discount would be on your Samsung members app which is on your samsung phone.

    Samsung has Eairly black friday deals advertised now:

    General store: https://www.samsung.com/nz/offer/black-friday/

    Z flip 5 gets a $500 trade in bonus (plus a free case and screen protector film)

    Z Flip 6 gets a $100 trade in bonus (plus a $500 watch and a $70 case)

    on the educational store (assume this is the same as EPP?)

    Z Flip 5 gets 25% off RRP, Case + film + $100 trade in bonus

    Z Flip 6 gets 25% off RRP, Case + Film + $200 trade in bonus + half price Samsung care plus

    I know you get a 10% off the first student purchase, and guess this is the same with EPP & general store. If so this gets applied automatically in the checkout.

    Samsung members code is something different you get from the Samsung app or chat and apply in cart.

    No real way of knowing what is going to work without trying it.

    You need to video your old phone slowing imei and working condition and screen etc and also video/photo proof that you are sending it in. I personally didn't have an issue but there is a huge thread on here about people having problems with Samsung tradeins etc.

    • Lieutenantdave on 18/11/2024 - 20:24

      I didnt have any issues either - Just took photos, videos of the old phone etc.

      The status link didnt really update accurately though. Sent it on the 2nd, got an email on the 12th saying trade accepted.

    I would prefer not to have to trade in my old phone to get a new one, as I like to keep my old phones, and can still use them with another sim. So a bit of a pity their best deals seem to require a trade in. I am currently weighing up getting an iphone 16 or a galaxy s24 ultra and think ATM the iphone offers better value over its life comparing the costs, unless Samsung come out with a really good deal.

  • moxpearl on 19/11/2024 - 07:09

    Just a reminder if you have a amex you can get an extra $100 off.

    Just got an email for a flash sale for the Z Fold 6:

    20% off and $650 trade in bonus.

    Code: FLASHNOV

    For anyone interested

  • inmeltingpot on 19/11/2024 - 16:43

    so it looks like FLASHNOV, UPGRADEZ/S24 codes are back, available till tomorrow morning. there seems to be a discount limit on flip and fold though, as when you put in both codes, discounts don't seem to add up where as they add up for S24 series. I can get mid 300 for S24 (no AMEX extra discounts though) or about 690 for flip6 (after AMEX discount as well).

      What about s24u?

      Is that on epp or normal site?

    • F armer on 19/11/2024 - 21:20

      FYI sing flashnov code removes the free watch 7 and buds 3 for the online Z fold deal

    I’m looking to buy one of the Samsung tablets S series but have no idea what the Black Friday deals were like before..

    Does anyone know if Early Black Friday deals have been better than the actual Black Friday deals in the past?
    Not sure if I should buy now or wait a couple more days!

    • Lieutenantdave on 21/11/2024 - 00:16

      I've been eyeing up tablets for a while, there hasnt really been a good deal - decent discount through EPP but nothing like the phone discounts.

    As I understand it, the Samsung member's code might take a few days to arrive so it's worth signing up now on the Samsung member. Especially in case they do another 30% off. If you don't have a Samsung device, now is the time to try and get a 10% off code from Samsung store chat/email/phone. Mine seems to have lasted at least a month.

    The rest you're probably fine signing up before buying. That said since Samsung site is often buggy and they also can have stock issues, it might be worth signing up sooner than later. Especially for the EPP.

    Note that EPP deals are not always posted here, technically Samsung says you're not supposed to talk about them or at least the prices from EPP. So not everyone is willing to post them. (Also because only some can get them.)

    Also while others have been fine with the wrong IMEI, I'd suggest you keep a record of the IMEI of devices you might want to tradein somewhere you can access at all times in case you need to do it when away from home or whatever. Likewise your codes should be accessible.

    Samsung's Black Friday deals are out now >> https://www.samsung.com/nz/offer/black-friday-blowout/

    Seems like the FLASHNOV, UPGRADEZ/S24 deals were better than these black friday ones. ( I haven't thoroughly check but just tried the FLASHNOV and UPGRADEZ/S24 and they no longer works.

    • inmeltingpot on 21/11/2024 - 16:14

      yeah, so guttered about this.
