Guide to Maximizing Samsung S25/+/U Pre-Orders

Maybe a bit too late for this one, but might help a couple more people out! A lot of these are compiled from multiple sources here on Reddit so thanks to all of them! This guide is for pre-ordering from the Samsung website or Samsung Shop app. I don't know how it works for in-store pre-orders.

To maximize pre-orders, you must have pre-registered for the 2 voucher codes. Too late to do this now since pre-registration period has ended, here's how you could have maximized it. EDIT: As a fellow commenter has stated, it's still possible to buy the voucher worth 3k for 500 pesos. According to the site, "Purchase Samsung Reservation+ for ₱500 between 7:00 AM on January 7 and 11:59 PM on January 23, 2024, and provide your details during checkout." As of writing it's only 1:26PM. Only risk here is it might take awhile for said voucher to arrive in your email. Mine took an hour yesterday but who knows how long now that Samsung website is busy.

One voucher is straightforward, pay 500 to get a voucher worth 3k that's stackable with the other vouchers.

The other pre-registration voucher that's free and supposedly worth 5k is a bit more complicated. It's the voucher you need if you're gonna trade in, and you need to trade in to maximize this voucher. If you trade in basically any Samsung phone, no matter the condition (even if it has green lines, as long as it's declared correctly), this 5k voucher suddenly becomes a 17k voucher for the Ultra (15k if you're just buying the non ultra, and varying other amounts if you're trading in Apple/Xiaomi/Oppo/etc). If you don't have a Samsung phone laying around, buy an S6 or something off FB for around 1k pesos. Keep in mind trade in is only available within Metro Manila. If you just wanna play around with the site, you can do so so you know how much discounts you're gonna get. If prompted for an IMEI number but you don't have your trade in phone yet, just input random numbers it will say "Valid" and you can proceed just to check the discount offered.

^Those 2 above are the ones you should have pre-registered for before their deadlines. The following, you don't need:

There's a 1k discount automatically applied if it's your first time buying with whatever Samsung account you registered with.

Then voucher code "GALAXYS25LIVE" gets you a free Watch7 40mm worth 16k SRP, which you can easily sell for I guess ~7-9k based off FB MP, or keep it if you want of course.

Then paying via 0% CC installment gives you an extra 5% off.

Just pre-ordering itself with no voucher codes or anything gets you a free storage bump (ex. get the 512gb model for the price of the 256GB)

I used all these to order the vanilla S25 512GB + Watch7 for just 29k (9 months installment), trading in an old S20FE I have no use of which has green lines and a cracked screen.

If things stay similar next year, you could basically upgrade "for free" since trading in just the last gen (in this case S25 for S26 would cost you just less than 8k like that other guy's post here who upgraded from S24). But you get a free watch which you could sell for the same amount that's why it's a "free" upgrade.

Please update in the comments if you got any more tips (although selfishly I wish I got it all covered since I don't want to have to cancel my order lol).

Good luck!
