Samsung is offering a mix of cash discounts, credit rewards, and free gear for early buyers of the new Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Ultra. The company has launched pre-orders for the Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8, with the most aggressive discounts tied to trade-ins and bundled purchases.
The biggest discount is $1,230 off the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra if you trade in an eligible device. If that’s too much for your wallet, you can still pick up a $100 discount using the code PAYPAL at checkout, or get a $200 Samsung credit that can be used toward accessories like the Galaxy Buds 4.
Bundling with new Galaxy Watch models brings deeper savings
The real action may be in the bundles. Adding the Galaxy Watch 9 or Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 to a Fold 8 or Fold 8 Ultra order brings discounts of up to $300. That means you could effectively cut the cost of the new smartwatch in half if you buy both at once.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is eligible for $250 off via trade-ins, and with a bundled purchase, that discount climbs to $300. Amazon is also offering up to $350 in gift cards with pre-orders of the new hardware, adding another layer of value for early adopters.
Reserve credits and free gear mix in more perks
Samsung is also offering $30 in Reserve credit for pre-orders of the Galaxy Watch 9 and Ultra 2. That’s a boutique-style credit you can use to buy high-end products like watches or handbags through Samsung’s luxury shopping platform.
And the free Galaxy Buds 4, which can come with the $200 Samsung credit, are a nice touch for buyers who want to fill in their ecosystem without paying full price. These are more than just accessories—they’re a reason to justify the foldable phone’s hefty price tag.
The catch? Some deals expire quickly
While the trade-in offers are substantial, they rely on having an old phone or device to swap in. Those without a recent device to trade may miss the biggest discounts. Plus, all these offers are currently tied to pre-orders, not just walk-in deals, so timing matters.
Still, for those planning to upgrade to a foldable and a smartwatch this year, the savings now stack up in a way that could make the high prices feel a little less steep.
