I wish they would let you redeem that £100 against other devices rather than just phones (tablet for example). Don't need another phone!

This is a good deal because you can spend the online £100 voucher now but don't have to send anything in unless you want your trade in as well i got £100 off for free lol.I just bought a new A5 2017 £169.99 bargain.

Yes I got paid same day they received it. I sent it with my own packaging recorded mail.

Have they paid you?? My gosh

I just sent the phone. No accessories. No charger. All went ok

Damm I just bought a note 8 and had a s6 edge to trade in

Hey Thanks. I'll wait for the recycle pack to come in. Are you sure we don't have to send in the accessories ? I have the accessories unopened state..

Your get better prices online recycle company.

Quicker for me to send back that way, rather than wait for Samsung to send me the recycle pack. Postage for free wasnt insured on the self ship option so I sent via royal mail special delivery. Cost of that option was £7.25 but I can send from work for free and not pay (perks of the role!).

I only sent the phone back for anyone else reading. No need to send back any accessories.

Why you chose the self ship option?? Isn't the Samsung recycle pack free???

I've submitted an iPhone for trade in and am waiting for my purchase to be verified before Samsung send me a postage label (chose the self ship option). Does anyone know what I have to send back - is it just the phone or accessories as well? TIA

S7 edge has already gone down by 15 GBP

What if the value of our handset drops during the 28 day waiting period? I suppose we just end up getting less money on this deal than we originally signed on for. :-/

Still, if prices hold and if the whole trade-in process goes off without a hitch, it is a great deal! :-D

Ah cool

Yes it's fully working with accessories untouched. I found what I was doing wrong. I was clicking no to an yes. Now sorted. £115. Cheers

Are you sure your checking correctly ? Is your device fully working etc ?

Gosh. What am i doing wrong ? :disappointed:

I checked the base model s6 and it's £115?

Me too waiting for the 28 days to submit the trade in.. How did you manage to check that price?? Any link please?

Vassy - I'm all in on this deal as part of another offer, just waiting out the 28 days for the cashback. S6 is showing the correct trade in price for me £115, just hope Samsung don't pull a fast one when the cashback link goes live.

Thanks. Checking through this S6 is only being paid £20 :disappointed:
Not the price as posted in deal.. :unamused:

You get it as money into your account as you already have purchased the phone.

Guys, I have an iPhone 7 plus 256gb unlocked. I recently purchased the s8 plus via argos and have done the request for recycling via Samsung. Can you tell me if the £100 voucher comes as a voucher entitlement or £100 cold hard cash into your account?

Anyone knows where to check the trade in price offered now??

Do not be fool.

S8 £579 from giffgaff
S8+ £619 from giffgaff

You don't see the option to enter voucher code if you are doing through mobile. You need to either do it on a computer or switch your mobile browser to desktop mode.

Shame that nothing like this for the note 8

It's confusing, you have to add it to basket. Then click on the basket in the corner and my came up with enter voucher code

I ve done a couple of dummy orders, all the way through to the final screen where you enter your card details, i cannot see a section anywhere in the process where you would enter a voucher code at all?
Any advice?

If you trade uour phone in now via Samsung recycle ' you get a £100 extra off s8, for example I got 261 trade plus £100 instant voucher on Samsung website

I'm in the same boat. £689 from argos, £10 voucher back, £225 for my S6 and 8% off the handset cost using a reloadable argos giftcard discount is the best I can come up with.

I know I could get the S8 from amazon for about £550 but I would only get £125 for my phone and the amazon one is from a third party seller so could be a grey import, etc.

I'm doing the maths to get the upfront price as low as possible.
So far, no free charger (o2 deal only), Quidco/tcb is 1% only on home/fastrack. There are gift vouchers, £10 back from Argos at the moment, but I still can't justify paying £689 for the S8, especially given it's around £540 on Amazon etc and you can get the S8+ for £629.....

I've got a collection of other discounts which I've built up, but there must be other ways to get this pathetic RRP price down from Argos before the promotion ends.

I received my s8 on Monday. I then sent my iPhone off Tuesday (yesterday, Special delivery) and I have now received 3 emails from Samsung, saying they have got my phone, the second saying how much they would pay and the money will be transferred by at 5 tonight. And the third saying they had data wiped it. So just to wait for money to reach account :smile:

They will still accept it I believe , they might offer you less trade in though.

To clarify you can receive £100 vouchers plus the trade in price for the device ? And my s6 chrging port has just broken, so will this still be accepted ?

Me smokie big pip

What happens with the instant £100 voucher if they aren't satisfied with the condition of the phone that you send them?

Unfortunately this offer also doesn't work with EPP purchase. I created a new device exchange request and got a £100 voucher which I tried in the basket and it gave an error and didn't accept the voucher :-(

Brilliant, that is a great help

Thank you for being the guinea pig in this particular experiment :smile:

Ok, So I've just done this you get the £100 voucher instantly, then once they get the phone they will transfer you the money for trade in :smile: also you have up to 14 days to send your phone. so you can wait till you receive your new one then send your old one off, the trade in money will be sent to you on the same day they receive phone. :smile:

Thanks mate, much appreciated :smile:

Hi, I think , you trade in your phone, and you get the voucher sent straight away (I assume). Then you send your phone off. I am doing this once I get home in a hour and I will let you know what happens :smile:

Hi sjo1993,

I'm quite interested in this and you've been a great help. I wonder if you can answer my question

I'm a little confused about the logistics of trading in to Samsung recycle and buying direct from samsung. My biggest concern is being left without a phone whilst I wait for the voucher to be issued after sending in my current device - as I presume the voucher will not be issued until they have the device, have verified its condition and have proceeded with the buying transaction - is this a correct assumption?

No. Only one per claim

http://samsungrecycle.co.uk

Whats the url to the samsung recycle website? cant find it on google

Just seen on Samsungs recycle website . They will now offer £100 voucher towards a s8 along with there normal trade in price. Might be a better deal as it's instant?

Just phoned Samsung online store and the voucher is not eligible with the EPP site

If I was to buy the s8+ from john lewis and split the cost using a credit card and debit card, how would I get the money back?

Did you manage to get any confirmation regarding using the bonus samsung recycle voucher on the EPP site? Cheers

Can I trade in two phones for the extra discount on each?

I'm sure when I looked at this the other day the prices were available? Anyone seen these as now I cant find them?

The link was for the s8+ which is still €629 but now only for Prime members. The s8 has gone to €604 (£548) direct from amazon.de

amazon.de/gp/…rue

Got S8 from Argos. Waiting for 28 days to trade in my S6 and make the claim. Thanks OP

I've just been into Carphone Warehouse and they're almost matching this deal with new contracts or upgrades, £200 for my s6 instead of the listed £215 above. Worth it to save the hassle I think

HEAT for the reply and effort, but just seems like their usual customer service, I love Samsungs devices but Apple has them beat hands down in this department with store walk in help in almost every UK city and good support at that, for a company their size the support for their devices and promotions is abysmal.

Just had a chat with their sales department on the phone about this offer and the other "£50 Samsung Voucher" offer that samsungrecycle.co.uk are doing. The lady I spoke to wasn't even aware of the £100 offer so take her responses with a pinch of salt!

Unsure, will escalate my question and get back to me with an answer.

Bit of a shame as it takes the edge off this deal IMO but hope that helps!

This would def be the better option for me but your link is showing €629 which is about £570. Has the price increased now or is the link wrong?

The G900F model is on the second page. About £62 + £100

It should I guess. Don't see a reason why not unless it's mentioned in the t&c

I can get it with a friends 10% discount at Argos. Do you think that will still qualify ?:/ :thinking:

Yupp .. return period would be over by then

Yeah 28 days after :smile: that's as I understand it to be

When do you trade in? I thought 28 days after

S8+ for me. Bigger screen big battery..

Maybe you would be better off using the offer they have now , trade in phone now, and get a £50 voucher towards a new S8. your only losing out on £50 then really, but with your discount it makes up for it ?

Oh well, least you got a reply, seems madness they don't offer the discount for the deal from their OWN website ha!

The reply i got.

"You will have to check with the retailers you intend on buying this from to confirm if they're participating in this offer. The Samsung website is not included. ^AM"

Nice one, i have a feeling that buying from the normal website will be included, if i could also get this deal using my Samsung's Employee Partner Portal, work perk discount, sign me up lol!

I have sent them a Message via Messenger, and see if they come back to me regarding purchasing from Samsung direct.

I am also wondering this, i can get the S8 for £586 sim free using my work discount on Samsung's own UK site.
So claiming £325 for my S7 Edge would bring it down to £261.
Even at £225 for the trade in without the extra £100, £361 for the S8 is an excellent price!
They currently have another offer on giving you a £50 voucher towards the S8 when you trade in your S7
samsungrecycle.co.uk/
"We've teamed up with Samsung to bring you an exclusive offer. In addition to the payment we make you for your device, you will also receive a £50 voucher code to put towards a new Galaxy handset on the Samsung website."

(The thing with doing this though, you'd need to sell your phone to them first, then they would essentially give you £275 in total for your phone, & you'd be without a phone till all this happens & i am not sure if you could combine the £50 voucher with the work perk thing & done a few dummy orders, cant see any sections where you would enter a voucher code)!

Samsung's live chat is down until Monday, so will try and reply back on here, if they will let you use the £100 OP deal with the work perk plan!

Using my discount means I only pay £50 more but I get £305 for my old iPhone 6 128gb

Might worth knowing that the S8 is £533 from Amazon.de & the S8+ is £575 (both sold & supplied by Amazon). Seems a big saving over John Lewis & even Amazon UK unless I'm mistaken. Delivery to UK is about 5 euros.

amazon.de/dp/…YT/

I'll try and get a answer off them about buying direct from them

Shame as I get 15% off Samsung direct via work but I also have an offer with very for 20%. Just Samsung offer the dual sim version of the 8+ and a wider selection of colours

I decided on 8, 8+ is just to big , even the 8 has a bigger screen than iPhone 7 plus . I don't think you can buy direct from Samsung as far as I can tell :thinking:

Trying to decide between 8 or 8+ and then I have to decide what colour. Anyone had confirmation if buying Samsung is eligible?

Click see the deal and at the top put your model number in to see what they will give you and then you add £100

I've got a Sony phone, will they give me £100 for that if I buy the s8?

You are better off buying from Amazon and sell your old phone outside. Cold

Ok so I'm buying an S8 tomorrow and am trading in an S7 Edge. Do I go through the recycle programme now to claim £225 and then go back to the site to submit a claim for the extra £100 28 days after purchase, or do I do the entire trade in after 28 days? Sorry if this is a silly question but I'm still unsure!

interesting.... should be able to combine this with two other discounts to get a decent saving.... hmmmm

Wonder if it includes buying from samsung themselves?... given i can already get 15% off from a "work perk" thing..

Damn, not for S5 neo G903F. However, they are selling on ebay for £130-145 in good condition like mine. So, agree with comments above ebay may well be better. :grin:

My samsung S6 has just started acting strange this week. It gets to the login screen (swipe up or draw a pattern) and then shuts down - if it has the charger plugged in then it seems to work fine and you can get past the login screen but if I remove the charger it will immediately switch the phone off. I've done a factory reset twice but it doesn't improve the issue.

Is this something that could be fixable - to facilitate a "fully working phone" for a trade in or does it mean my phone is wrecked?

The prices in the screenshot are inclusive of £100
From Samsung website: Please note: Prices above include the additional £100 and are based on the lowest storage size option of a Fully Working device and are subject to change.

How it works:
1. You sell your phone to Samsung at the price of (screenshot price - £100)
For exact price, choose your phone and complete the questionnaire - samsungrecycle.co.uk/sel…one
2. Buy Samsung S8/S8+ from eligible retailers (details in the link)
3. Submit a claim for extra £100. The claim form opens on 08/09/2017


If you own Galaxy S4:
- you will receive £32 straight away
- if you bought S8/S8+ (from eligible retailer), you will be able to submit a claim form to receive extra £100
£32 + £100 = £132 (as per screenshot)

Do you have to sell to them to get £100

So you have to buy a Samsung phone then you can get sell it I'm i right

How much will I get for Samsung S5

Anyone have a full list of participating retailers. Would ee be included as it states retaiers include Samsung partners

My S6 Edge has a slight screen crack. Would I be able to trade in?

How send phones to Samsung

Following as need a new phone, have a 5s I could trade, so is it £165 cashback or £100 cashback and rest taken off phone at purchase?

My S6 has recently stopped working. Repair cost is £160 and it's only worth £30 broken. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do with an S6 with a broken screen?

No iPhone 5c Booooo

Only of value if your handset to be traded is on its last legs. I reckon with most good condition handsets you can get more for your money.

Hmm... They're offering close to what I'd get from selling the s7 edge on eBay but without the fees and dealing with a buyer. Said I wouldn't bother upgrading but this tempting.

If anyone has altered their firmware and doesn't know how to go back to stock then they're screwed.

Also, any samsung device after the Galaxy S 5 has a hardware fuse that trips when the device has been amended, usually through obtaining root privileges, and that cannot be reset.

No t-mobile g1, note 4, S4 mini or S3, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s options so I'm out.

I don't think JL price match them. They have to have a physical shop.

Can't JL price match Amazon? This would bring price down them making the claim would make it even cheaper ??
