I just went to tampines samsung for the trade up, the lady check very very detailed on my phone, minor scratches also get spotted. She was using s21u macro mode to zoom on any scratches. In the end value for my iPhone 12 pro max is lesser than outside shop. My experience not so positive

That sucks, I was planning to go there later. But anyway the tablet I trading in is confirm in bad shape. Only doing it for the sake of $200 overtrade.

For Samsung online trade up, anybody knows whether they will require proof of purchase? Example we purchase from carousell but the proof of pruchase not under our name.

Or they will just check the phone physical and working condition?

Waiting for my s22 ultra to arrive and trading in my S21 ultra, through pre order trade up which I declared when ordering.

At least at M1, they only check for water damage or can power on or not etc..

Less than 1 year old s21 ultra
Ses say screen burn
Value 0
With the trade up card
Only 200 value
if it's less than 1 year old, why not walk over to samsung repair and tell them screen burn then replace screen and go to do trade up again

Went down to Tampines mall SES to trade in a almost worthless galaxy Tab A 2019 wifi model.
Supposed to be able to get $90 + $200 overtrade but I know there will be deduction because of scratches around the charging port.
SES staff checked with PCdreams via WhatsApp and quoted me $0 for it.
I was a bit angry and told her that I know it's PCdreams behind all this lousy quote, please try to give me a reasonable quote instead of outright minus $90 off.

In the end they gave me $45 + $200 which is at least reasonable to me.

Normally I don't trade in because I think can fetch better price selling in carousel. But for this time, with the 200 trade up, I decided to trade in since it save me a lot of trouble with them coming to collect....my s21u was offered 975 inclusive of the 200$ when I buy direct from samsung and I think for a 1 yr old phone, mai hiam liao....and with the 300 evoucher, 80$ plus another 5% discount , that means I top up less than 500 to get s22u. Not too bad, just hope that they don't reduce the value of my trade in phone with many excuse....:)

Is it possible to trade in tablet for s22 ultra? The price to trade in iPad seems quite tempting with the 200 overtrade. Can use the money buy new iPad air

Yes cross trading is allow in stores. Cross trading meaning tablet trade in for phone.
I did last night with my old tab A using trade up card from shopee at Tampines mall SES.
