The provided source material details specific promotional offers and financing arrangements available for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 in the United States. This information includes carrier deals, trade-in programmes, and financing terms. However, the data does not contain any information about free samples, no-cost product trials, brand freebies, or mail-in sample programmes for this device or any other product category. The sources focus exclusively on purchase-based incentives, such as bill credits, trade-in values, and deferred payment plans, rather than free product distribution schemes. Consequently, an article adhering to the specified topic of free samples and promotional offers cannot be constructed from this data. Below is a factual summary based on the available information.
Promotional Offers with Carriers
The source material outlines several carrier-specific promotions for purchasing the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. These offers typically require the activation of a new line of service and the purchase of the device on a monthly payment plan.
T-Mobile Offer
A promotion detailed in the sources involves T-Mobile. To qualify, a customer must add a Magenta Max rate plan and add a new line. The customer must then purchase a new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 (among other eligible Samsung models) on a monthly payment plan and pay the applicable sales tax on the pre-credit price at the time of purchase. In return, the customer can receive up to $800 back via monthly bill credits. For the Galaxy Z Flip 3, these credits are applied over 24 months. The offer notes that customers must contact T-Mobile before cancelling service to continue receiving any remaining bill credits; otherwise, the credits will stop, and the balance on the required finance agreement becomes due. A $35 assisted or upgrade support charge may be required in stores or on customer service calls. The offer is limited to a maximum of 12 accounts and may not be combinable with some other offers or discounts.
AT&T Offer
Another promotion involves AT&T and requires a trade-in of an eligible device. The customer must pay a $30 activation or upgrade fee and tax on the retail price. The trade-in must occur within 30 days of activating the new phone and meet the AT&T Trade-In Programme requirements. To receive a $1,000 credit, the trade-in device must have a minimum trade-in value of $95. For a $350 credit, the minimum trade-in value is $35. The trade-in device cannot be on an existing installment plan. Bill credits start within three billing cycles and are applied monthly towards installments over the agreement term. To receive all credits, the device must remain on the agreement for the entire term, and the customer must keep eligible service on the devices for the entire installment term. If service on the new line is cancelled, the credits will stop. For new lines, if service on any other line on the account is cancelled within 90 days of activating the new line, device credits will also stop. A credit card may be required except in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and North Dakota.
Trade-In Programme
The sources mention a Samsung Trade-In Programme. Participation in this programme does not excuse the customer from contracts with their carrier or retailer for the device that was traded in. The programme limits one trade-in per qualifying purchase. Samsung reserves the right to modify or discontinue the offer at any time. The Trade-In Programme cannot be combined with any other Samsung, carrier, or retailer promotions, discounts, or offers unless specifically provided for in the terms and conditions of such offers.
Financing Options
The sources describe several financing options available through a Samsung Financing account issued by TD Bank, N.A.
No Interest if Paid in Full
This offer is available on purchases of select products charged to a Samsung Financing account. The minimum purchase is $50. To avoid interest, the full promotional balance must be paid before the promotional period ends (which can be 12, 24, or 28 months). If not paid in full, interest will be charged from the purchase date at the standard Purchase APR of 29.99%. After the promotional period ends, the standard Purchase APR applies to the remaining balance and any charged interest. Minimum monthly payments are required but will not pay off the balance on time.
0% APR with Equal Payments
This offer is available on purchases of select products charged to a Samsung Financing account. The minimum purchase is $50. The 0% APR applies from the date of the eligible purchase until the balance is paid in full. The offer is available for terms of 12, 18, 24, 36, 40, or 48 months. The estimated monthly payment is calculated by multiplying the eligible purchase amount by a repayment factor and rounding down to the nearest penny. For example, the factor for 12 months is 0.08333, and for 24 months is 0.04167. The last payment may vary due to rounding. The total amount of payments will not exceed the eligible purchase amount if payments are made on time. Other transactions and fees affect the overall minimum payment amount.
Affirm Payment Options
The sources also mention payment options offered by Affirm, which are subject to an eligibility check and may not be available in all states. Options depend on the purchase amount, and a down payment may be required. For California residents, Affirm Loan Services, LLC is licensed by the Department of Business Oversight. Loans are made or arranged pursuant to California Financing Law license 60DBO-111681.
Retailer Information
The sources include a reference to Target.com, where the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 appears in search results. However, the provided data does not contain any specific promotional offers or free sample information related to Target or any other retailer for the device.
Conclusion
The provided source material offers detailed information about purchase-based promotions, trade-in programmes, and financing options for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 in the United States. It outlines specific requirements, such as adding a new line with a carrier, trading in an eligible device, or using specific financing accounts.

There is no mention of free samples, no-cost trials, brand freebies, or mail-in sample programmes for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 or any other product category. Consumers seeking free product samples would need to consult other sources dedicated to sample programmes and promotional freebies.
