Killer deal on the Fold 3.
Further discounts:
Brings it down to $1149 for 256GB, $1299 for 512GB.
Anyone knows does it come with screen protector installed for both screens? Thanks
Yes on both.
Cheers, then only need to get a case now
Anyone got an trade id they don't need or won't use? Happy to offer a $100 chat voucher for it
If anybody has a "tradeup" code they are willing to share, please PM me.
I'll happily take the $60 admin + $TradeValue hit, to get the sweet $700 off.
No 60 admin fee so dw bout that
Not sure about admin fees, even myself havent been charged but someone got charged because the trade in value was too low (like $20, $50). So they will kick in the admin fees to make it up…..
From the actual page itself :
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T RETURN MY DEVICE?
If you do not to return your device in 7 days , you will be automatically charged the value of the trade-in credit plus a $60 (AUD) administration fee.
Samsung may also charge you for any additional bonus credit which was applied to your order.
Not 100% on how "may" they might be.
@techhead: But if they give you the $100 via chat due to loyalty surely they wouldn't charge that back :/

Just find that, wish it would help
anyone confirm if newsletter stacks with loyalty code?
Confirmed, my order is processing
What’s the cheapest eligible phone I can buy off eBay/gumtree and trade in here, in order to secure the $700 trade in bonus?
S8 would be perfect
If I send an eligible phone, but it’s wrecked, will they send it back but honour the $700 bonus?
Just don't send it. Same outcome. Not sure if they'll send you back the broken phone either.
I had an S21 Ultra last year and they sent it back, but I never checked if they honoured the trade in bonus.
It’s worth a shot
Just make sure it's not rooted as the trade up app doesn't work on rooted phones
Ah, you actually need the phone? Damn, I’ll have to borrow one
Or use my S21 Ultra……but I’m sure someone said they won’t take it
I can't get the trade in bonus to apply on the education store. Am I missing something in the T&Cs?
The offer is only on the public store
Hii ,
can anyone pls help me on how to get this deal , I am a new member here
Regards,
on your old phone download the trade up app
run it and get a trade in code for your old phone
goto samsung website
buy it
thanks.
and if I dont have a samsung phone , story finishes here?
I have a one plus phone
don't know, never had a one plus phone to check, download it and see, it works on apple phones, just use any old Samsung or Apple phone, run it and you get 700 dollars regardless. don't need to send it back in anyway really.
@Spec: and how to get 50$ newsletter and another 100$ discount?
I have a iphone 7plus.with a bit cracked screen.
so its not mandatory that I would have to send my old device?
@UmairNajeeb: doubt you'll get the sign up credit, it's not working, for the 100 dollar code, goto the buy pages and click the chat pages and just chat to them and ask for a 100 dollar loyalty Voucher. if they ask you if you've had a samsung phone say yes and name a couple of models. the one in the store you do t need to send photos through.
i am getting 55$ for trade in my iphone 7 plus lol
my wife has iphone12 which trade in for 500$ but I will need to give it away to samsung?.correct?
no, you can just keep the phone and let them charge the trade in amount, in this case you will be charged 500 if not returning iphone 12
NOTE: there will be a $60 Device Non-Return Administration Fee plus ur trade-in value
been doing this 2 times now, no $60 or so charged, only the trade in value been charged. when you finalise trade in, it will says on the screen if it is ineligible device or not sending it back, the trade in value will be charged, no admin fee, or bonus value been mentioned in the final step.
@mapletian: https://images.samsung.com/is/content/samsung/assets/au/terms/trade-up/samsung-online-trade-up-terms.pdf?$ORIGIN_PDF$
just find that documentation but hopefully they wont charge me the admin fee, finger cross
you said we dont need to send it back? I was reading on there website the order will not proceed untill the trade up device has been sent
256gb Phantom Black is out of stock now. Just when I was able to sit down and get the trade in code generated.
Got mine $1054 after note 10+ trade in 245 and 700 bonus
Hey all. Anyone have the $50 code? Samsung won’t send it to me as they love seeing my FOMO face
Anyone got trouble
" Sorry, due to an error, trade-in service is unavailable at the moment"
Me
I did all the tricks last time, helped people out by explaining how my S10+ had a cracked screen and got the $100 code. And I had a newsletter code, so I got an S21 w/256gb which is the smallest screen size for just $494 and gave old phone to my girlfriend.
I played with the Fold 3 in the store and like someone asked earlier in the comments "doesn't the fold in the screen annoy you?" - Well it annoyed me.
So I will keep the S21 and not upgrade to a folding screen yet. I bought an old iPad mini for $100 as I wanted a 7" screen mainly for reading, so in my personal circumstance, $1300 is a lot of money just for more screen. I'd rather put that towards my next 2-in-1/laptop/tablet with Alder Lake-P.
Also be forewarned, the new Snapdragon chipset is coming in handsets in just a few weeks time so if you are interested in gaming on Android: https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/30/22809687/qualcomm-snapdr…
Well this is bloody annoying. I got the $100 code during the day and just tried ordering the phone and now it's saying the code is invalid. I did test it after I got it and it did work before so they must have invalidated the code at some point. Why the hell do they do this?!
Try again. I had to try twice to get it
Try what again sorry? You mean get a new code?
i could not get through chat all day, how is everyone getting through chat
I chatted with 3 different people. They all took a little time to connect with but no issues.
Couldn't even get through to one. Keep waiting on the bot then conversation closed
I'm trying to get a new code through chat as well and conversation keeps closing. Didn't have any issues connecting during the day.
@pitpicker: It worked during the day but I didn't have time to order the phone so left till just before and code is not working anymore. They must have disabled the code.
Party's over people. Bonus lowered to $450 now :-(
Congrats to those who got one
So annoyed! i was just going through the trade up process to order it :( not worth it with just the $450 for me. was going from the fold 2 to 3.
Try to checkout. Mine was in cart since evening and I just placed the order and got $700 off. Good luck
From my exp, i will put the order in cart 1st, add the trade in code to secure the bonus offer, then chit chat with rep to have the code later. If the deal is over, then i just process my cart. If there is a better deal, i will clear the cart and re-order….. hope this help
Something has changed recently
Get up to a bonus $500 off2 the Galaxy S21 series 5G when you trade-in, even with minor damage with trade-in.

I saw $500 bonus across all S21 range this arvo (with S21+ already reduced).
Now seem to have been modified.
Get a bonus $500 off Galaxy S21 and S21 Ultra2 , and a bonus $300 off S21+2 when you trade-in, even with minor damage with trade-in.Learn More
S21+ was coming up to $1049 - $500 bonus -$100 loyalty - $50 sign up -$trade in.
now it is changed to
$1049 - $300 bonus -$100 loyalty - $50 sign up -$trade in.
I was still able to buy one now though it was left in my shopping cart since this afternoon.
What case you guys recommend for this phone?
No longer 700 off ?
Try to order now. I just placed the order and in cart it was $700 off even though banner is changed to $450 off now
Same here, ordered past midnight and still was able to avail of the $700 off…. although it has been in my cart since afternoon.
Still 700 off .. I got fomo and just bought it :(
Lol
Gave up on the email…
Oh banner changed to $450 :(
Still $700 at checkout
Yes true, but no one on the chat for the code
:(
Anyone got a spare $100 voucher I could please have? Ordering one for my mum
Has anyone tried to stack another $100 and $200 voucher code with this deal and see whether they work or not?
It worked, at least for me
Argh in getting this message
Sorry, due to an error, trade-in service is unavailable at the moment
You need to put in your credit card on the app
I don't have that option ….everytime I click trade up it takes me to the website and when I Scroll down it just shows my licence ….
@xr8td: You run the app on the phone you want to trade in… answer the questions… it will then want to take photo of your license and wants a credit card.. you then select continue online and then the code works…
@xr8td: I am getting to the card verification page but it keeps saying cannot authorise despite both cards i tried having plenty of $$ on them. Its pathetic really. Advertise a deal then magically part of the system that allow the deal go down
@Motek Benzona: How frustrating.
It's annoying because yesterday it said the promotion was valid till 20 Dec and then over night it changed from 700 to 450
@Motek Benzona: You need to restart the process
If you type one number wrong or anything then fix it the second time it won't work
Super annoying but that's how their system works. Once it rejects the first time everything gets rejected from then on until you clear the data in the Samsung tradeup app and start again
Not sure if I'm going to upgrade from my s21 ultra 5g.
So I might have a spare $100 loyalty voucher.
I can get the zfold for 505
Z flip for 405
sent you a pm
My order still shows waiting for approval? What the hell is waiting for approval?
Lav, If you buy a $2499 phone for $499, of course it needs to go to Korea for approval :lmao:
Wow
You're smarter than me… I actually thought Samsung was Japanese
Bought mine this morning just before it expired. Waiting for approval also now.
Its ok. Mostly samsung will honour the order have been placed, happened to me b4 then they still process it….
I just sold my Z Fold 3 512gb and have to say the cameras and battery life were too subpar coming from a S21U. It feels like a base S21 yet folds. The folding aspect is very nice and screen real estate awesome however I grew tired of the battery dying super fast during use and also heavy motion blur when taking pics of my kids.
Hmm..But how much did you use the phone during the day though? My s10e has amazing battery life during the day if I hardly use it and the phone would be considered "old" now…However if I use it alot during the day with intensive stuff the phone drains as expected.
really, that bad ? other users can comment on this ?
true, has fold 3 since launch, sold it 3 weeks ago for 1850, great phone, battery is around 4-5 hours SOT compare S21 Ultra 6 hours or pixel 6 7 hours,
biggest draw back is the camera and hinge, zoom is no where good and hinge developed a poping noise after 4 weeks, though doest not affect the use.
no way to play games such as pubg on it as screen is still too baby. lol
Why did you sell it and where did you sell it may I ask
FB or gumtree
@AussieMark: facebook.
coz i relise i need a better zoom phone and better battery life.
it is hard to go back to candy bar phone once u use fold, took me 2 days to get over it. lol
Anyone still have a spare $50 sign up code? Been trying with multiple emails but nothing. Grr.
Getting "Sorry, due to an error, trade-in service is unavailable at the moment", maybe it's over
Hi mate had the same issue, hippyhippy confirmed you need to enter your credit card details. He also wrote instructions early this morning on the thread
Its expired now
Folks what's the best case for Fold 3? Thank you
If you like slim then the Samsung aramid case is amazing
Thanks 🙏🏼
I got this case
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/For-Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Fold-3-5G-S…
it's great because it covers everything including the hinge, which most cases don't. also has tempered glass over the front screen. it's pretty slim and felt amazing at first, like a smooth hard velvet but it's starting to wear off now. it does make a snap when you open it sometimes but I've narrowed that down to the placement of the floating hinge protector so it's fine.
be careful of the cases which are just a frame for the front. I had one that flexed and started to take off the front screen screen protector.
Placed an order last night and received the Z Fold3 already early hours of the morning today! Whoa!
Also, haven't received the trade-in instructions email yet. Has anybody got it yet?
How did you get email voucher?
