Good input on this. Planning to upgrade my wife's S21 to S22, also for her tax rebate claims (besides, the S21 we won it as a prize).
Wondering how is the process flow like?
So if according to the website, the baby S22 need 3-4weeks before shipped to me. The trade-in collector will come and collect the phone, assuming waaaaay before my new phone arrives? Then I will be a Samsung-less phone user until the S22 arrives?
S22 256GB: RM3,699
Instant Rebate: RM200
Tax Rebate @ 21%: 0.21*(RM3,699 - RM200) = RM734.79
Trade in Instacash (S21 256GB): RM2,165
Total rebates: RM3,099.79
Not included above:
1) Free Galaxy Watch 4 (assume can resell at RM600, totally covers the cost of "upgrade")
2) 0% credit card payment plan (can earn more $$ by rolling the cash in high yielding savings account)
Note:
1) Tax rebate can be higher if the bracket is more than 21%
2) Trade in value may decrease in April/May due to device depreciation
------------------
As for your question, you can inform Instacash that you will only trade in in 4 to 6 weeks time. They are okay, but will let you know that the trade in value will be lower slightly taking into account depreciation. Around RM50 to RM100 lower per month.
