How to get an S26 Ultra for $250.

I've made a list of the cheapest possible way to get this new phone, here's how:

  1. Rakuten: Create an account for cashback. Use this link for a $30 bonus:
  2. Activate: Search "Samsung" in the Rakuten search bar and click "Shop Now."
  3. Trade in: On Samsung's site, choose the S26 Ultra and your trade-in (I used the S25 Ultra for this example).
  4. Promo Codes: Input these two promo codes: PAYPAL50 and ref-b1edz2 into your cart.
  5. Total: After checkout, Rakuten refunds 15% of the total, this plus the $30 sign-up bonus bringing your net total to $250.
