Best Buy offering $100 Samsung Galaxy S9/S9 Plus pre-order discount on March 2
July 11, 2025
Samsung finally announced theGalaxy S9 and S9 Plusat theMobile World Congressover the weekend. As expected, the two flagship devices havefeaturessuch as improved cameras, AR emojis, and stereo speakers. You’ll likely be hearing a lot about these phones in the coming months.
While the two devices won’t be released in the U.S. until March 16, they will be available to pre-order from Friday, March 2. If you are aren’t 100 percent sure about whether to commit to the phone, Best Buy is hoping to sweeten the deal by giving a $100 discount to anyone who pre-orders either the S9 or S9 Plus specifically on March 2.
As well as this $100 discount for pre-ordering, Best Buy is also offering up to an additional $350 off the price of the phone to those who trade in a qualifying phone. Owners of Samsung Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus phones hoping to upgrade will be happy to hear that they can receive the full $350 dollar trade-in discount. As can those with an iPhone 8, 8 Plus, or X.
Those with aPixel 2 or Pixel 2XL, aGalaxy S7, iPhone 7, orLG V30will be able to trade in their phone for a $300 discount, and even those using aGalaxy S6, iPhone 6,Pixel, orV20can trade in their phone for $150.
So, what does this mean for the price of the phone? Well, most carriers areselling the S9 for around $790and the S9 Plus for around $930. That means that customers pre-ordering on March 2 and trading in a Galaxy S8 could be able to save over half the cost of an S9 and almost half the cost of an S9 Plus.
Of course, there are some caveats. Those hoping to take advantage of the deal will not be able to do so on an unlocked device—you’ll have to sign-up with a carrier—or a Sprint Flex Lease. Also, the device being traded in must be in good working condition.
