Here’s the kicker: you Got to Spend your credit at the same time you pre-order the phone. You will not receive a Samsung gift card or anything similar. You have to choose what you want when you check out. You can spend more than the credit you earn and pay the difference, but if you spend less, you can’t keep what’s left.
The credits apply to all types of Samsung Galaxy S21 accessories: bags, headphones, cables, chargers, etc. Wearables, tablets, and even televisions are also offered.
Trade-in discounts

The Samsung Galaxy S21 range is much cheaper than last year’s Galaxy S20 family, but it’s still expensive. Fortunately, Samsung offers massive discounts when you trade in your old phone at the checkout.
Trading your old device couldn’t be easier. All you have to do is tell Samsung what device you have. Sammy will immediately deduct the cost of this device from your Galaxy S21 purchase. You will then receive your new phone by email. Once you do that, put your old phone in the box and send it back to Samsung. Assuming you followed the steps correctly (and didn’t lie about which phone you had and what condition), you are done. If you don’t follow the instructions, Samsung will charge your credit card with the previously granted credits. Ouch. Be sure to follow these instructions!
Here are some sample phones and their discount value:
- $ 700 – Galaxy Note 20 or Note 20 Ultra
- $ 700 – Any Galaxy S20 phone (except FE model)
- $ 350 – Google Pixel 4 or Pixel 4 XL
- $ 200 – Any Google Pixel 3 model, including 3a devices
- $ 700 – Any Apple iPhone 12 device
