@Aemit: I think it worked! I haven't checked-out yet though but all of the discounts appear in better digits lol.
The weird thing is, I am trying to log in to the Education Store via the app to get the additional 5% discount but I am getting a message that there is an account linked
Asurion's verification email never comes through - no way to progress without it. Excellent

I have a relative whose EDU account I will use and I already have a Samusung account using an unrelated email address. I am struggling to work out how this all ties together after reading most of the comments.
1) Do I need to create a Samsung account with the EDU email address.
2) If I buy the $100 voucer for $20 from https://www.samsung.com/au/gift-card/e-vouchers/pre-registra… using my current Samsung account (non-EDU email address linked) is that a problem to use on another Samsung account?
1) no you can create education profile with your acc using other email
2)don't think so
I am using s21u.
Still not happy with s25u upgrade and downgrade. Confused and convinced 70% that i dont want to buy s25u. I got evoucher bought for $20 to get $100 off. Can contact me and buy.
Trade in flip4 for s25? I like my flip phone though
I have a flip 5 and I'm having issues with the battery already and the power socket is a little dodgy
On the invoice for gst refund purposes , will it be the amount before voucher and trade in? Or just simply the total amount we paid?
FYI for those who don't have an edu login or whatever and are with CBA there's currently a Samsung yello store offer for an extra $100 off with a minimum $500 spend if bought here; https://www.samsung.com/au/multistore/commbank_yello_au/
For an s25 trade in w s23 + buds3 managed to get it down to 418.30 (ie 518.30 less this 100 cashback offer). It will tell you at checkout before purchasing the full discount but you will already need to have committed to a trade in security charge I believe.
Possibly this could give up to $150 off for $1000+ spent but I'm not sure if this covers the phone specifically cause that promo ad they don't seem to be listed as a category but as this didn't apply to my case I'm not sure. It lists:
"Every $1000 spent get 150 off too
Refrigerators
Laundry
Vacuum Cleaners
Air Purifiers
Home Entertainment
Cooking Appliances"
But the $100 off for $500 spend min. is confirmed working for the phone at least for sure.
can we proceed through edu and pay with CBA card for $100 off?
I don't think so cause you have to do it within the yello portal i think
Do you need IMEI to complete trade in?
YES
Yes
No… Not for Bluetooth watches
I was informed by the chat that if I return the buds, I will only be refunded the amount minus the $200 promotion.
Was anyone told otherwise?
That's why best to do it online as it would be black and white. Amount taken from your account and the tax invoice would differ and that's a good ground for refund.
You won't be able to cancel the items now if you don't cancel the whole order.
Nah you get refunded whatever the amount of the buds were in the invoice. Bonus discounts never get taken back afaik.
Following my cancellation of an accessory, I haven't received any credits from my payment provider.
Probably have to wait a few days but I noticed the order status has moved to Awaiting Dispatch and the amount of the order has been updated to reflect the cancellation of the accessory. May need to follow up at latest, after they dispatch the goods.
Thanks for everyones help. my codes came through and picked up 2 S25s and a probuds for $1144. i did 2 trades so will be up for i guess $60 each trade. but am happy. its around $632 a phone and i get a free buds.
thinking of changing the color of my s25u, does anyone know if cancelling the whole order and re-ordering will allow the reuse of the trade-ID and vouchers?
Nope
How is everyone canceling the the buds? I go to orders, click the cancel order button and it only lets me select all items(phone and buds)
Read the comments
too many comments to read…just explain lol
Too much effort
Tldr: if you can't cancel the buds you ordered wrong
@Fooah: It seems you were supposed to order more then one accessory and then you can cancel one?
Maybe i'll try chat and cancel through them.
unable to cancel online…i am planning to return once delivered
You cant cancel buds if you only added the 1 accessory. You have to take delivery then do a refund.
Thanks, bit of a tricky one… lol I should have read all the comments before order. Hopefully a return still works with the $200 refund.
Not anymore - ordered 3 hours ago (S25 Ultra, Buds and case) and can't cancel the buds. Tried two Live Chat Agents and called - all said the same thing after checking. The person I spoke to (on the phone) also said I couldn't return the Buds and that I'd have to return the whole order, if I wanted to return anything.
How about loyalty bonuses? Worth persuing assuming can stack on top of all other available codes?
You can use a maximum of 3 codes per order.
does cashrewards 2.8% work?
too late for me now….😊

I have tried 15 cards, but nothing is working; I tried different browsers and devices, but there is still a payment error. Is anyone facing the same issue?
used paypal, card wasn't working for me either
I can't see the PayPal option there. Can you please share the link?
yup… I didnt get the $20 voucher either because of the save issue. I think its a Samsung ban issue on an account level. try creating a new account with a different phone number linked
I have tried guest shopping and a new account, same error.

do u think u can walk into a samsung store and get the refund issuded on the spot?
How do you log into the Samsung ShopApp via Edu? I have Govt and it just logs me in normally.
Go to account -> scroll down -> select store -> select epp store
how did you choose $1 trade-in?
Select cheap device and select broken screen during check out
you still have to enter IMEI number
Thanks op!
Pretty stoked i paid $768.10 for a 256gb S25+ with buds and silicone case.
Traded an S20FE thats been good to me, but i feel it's time.
Is the $400 trade-In bonus from chat only for the general Samsung store or works for EDU/EPP/Gov?
works on edu/epp too
Works for EDU/EPP/GOV - when you request the $400 trade bonus, they ask what store you're going to purchase from.
Why did Asurion just charge me the trade-in amount?
Sorry guys, this is the first time doing this
They charge that initially and will refund it when they receive and process the trade in.
Got it! I just received the text. Thanks for the clarification.
good luck getting refund. they are not very good with it
Ok ordered S25U 256GB and Watch FE for $1098. Couldn't cancel watch online so called up Samsung and got it cancelled in 5 mins. So, phone only is $859 now and watch shows cancelled in order. Will sell my S23 Ultra for pretty much the same price. Happy days, bless you Samsung ;)
How can you guarantee they will refund the watch price and not just cancel that coupon
Has never happened before plus the rep confirmed the refund amount. I have recorded time of call and verified refund amount multiple times. Finally, order amount updated on the portal to the phone cost only.
Be careful with Samsung, last time I bought Z Flip, the refund takes 3 months and 7 follow ups before I finally received my money back.
I got the updated invoice after cancelling the buds. the code has applied to phone price. but not sure when and how I will get refunded…
the original payment hasn't cleared yet in my bank account; hopefully they deduct the updated amount.
I just spoke to them and they advised they can't cancel a single item, can only cancel the entire order.
What am I doing wrong 😄
Those who got additional code for 1TB variant, (I think someone mentioned it would equate to $200 discount) when trying to add at the check out it comes up with an error message that it can only applied to 1TBrom variant, which it is in the check out.
How did you go about solving this?
The livechat is offline now and I can't ask Sammy about it. =(
Works only in the normal store
so there are work arounds for gov epp store then?
When it comes to not returning the device and paying admin fee, do you have to do anything? or do they just send you an invoice or something.. Edit: its my first time doing the S series release day hustle. Upgrading from a s21 :P
Do nothing and ignore their emails
Do we need to use driver licence or passport to go through trade-in process while making purchase?
Yes
@Aemit: Is it safe knowing how they have charged people money even after sending their devices? This can be misused by them and putting your credit history at risk with them?
@wantvsneed: i traded working device for $120 last yr. but Asurion deemed it as not in proper working condition. so only refunded $1. a lot of hassle contacting Samsung ans ACCC, got refund. but time consuming and frustrating. Asurion are hard to contact and not part of Samsung. so its a hit n miss. this time traded in near dead phone for $30. i am not fussed even if they dont refund
@Aemit: Ok. I hope they handle customers' identity documents carefully. Although doubt with their practices.
There is no admin fee anymore .
There is no admin fee anymore .
How do I get some of the additional vouchers please ? I have access to EPP, the chat support just keeps resetting and I have tried 5 times already
call them
Try the Samsung shop app. It has a chat function and didn't seem to disconnect for me
Hey Guys, anyone got extra $400 voucher
There is a unique one in the samsung members app for every person.
