Guys first post here and I think I have a banger
The Samsung Edu portal seems to have reduced price for the online exclusive colours (so not applicable to the normal colours) across the whole Z range. (Receive 30% off Galaxy Z Fold5 Online Exclusive Colours from 12:00am (AEST) 14 Sept 2023 to 11:59pm (AEST) 24 Sept 2023. Discount will be applied automatically to the cart.)
Plus up-sized $450 trade in bonus (from $300 previously) until 04.10.2023 (according to the website, probably wrong)
The prices are now:
$1819.30 (256GB) - $450 bonus = $1369.30
$1959.30 (512GB) - $450 bonus = $1509.30
$2204.30 (1tb) - $450 bonus = $1754.30
So I was able to trade in my Flip 5 (512GB) to Fold 5 (256GB) for:
$1819.30
- $1190 Flip 5 trade in value
- $450 trade in bonus
= $179.30
The Flip 5 is also starting from $1154.30 (256GB) and $1294.30 (512GB) + 450 trade in bonus $350 trade in bonus
Thank you for coming to my Ted-X talk
edit: the trade in bonus is reflect after you add to cart
edit: Save more by switching to a flip 5 first
So for you it could be that:
Flip 5 (512GB) $1294 - fold 3 value $520 - $350 bonus = $424 out of pocket
Fold 5 (512GB) 1959 - flip 5 value $1190 - $450 bonus = $318 out of pocket
So total $424 + $318 = $743
So it is a $246 saving by jumping
Only issue is the time delay, may or may not miss out. Imagine if you did this after getting the S23 deal
