Costco offers big instant savings on the Galaxy S10 and S10e with (almost) no strings attached
The conditions of the deal/s may have changed since the initial publishing of this post.
The Galaxy S10 is handsome, powerful, and no longer very expensive
Namely, Costco until March 27. The member-exclusive in-store deal allows you to actually purchase the Galaxy S10 or Galaxy S10e at a lower price than usual, which arguably beats any freebie someone else might throw in. You're not looking at microscopic discounts either, but a full $100 off the list price of the S10e and $200 instant savings as far as the "regular" S10 is concerned.
That's pretty much as good as it gets for devices as new and popular as Samsung's latest Galaxy S-series entries. It's important to point out that Costco Warehouse members don't appear to qualify for any markdowns on the jumbo-sized Galaxy S10+, while the discounted S10 and S10e will need to be activated on T-Mobile to go down from $849 to $649 and from $699 to $599 respectively.
That's right, Costco actually sold the two Snapdragon 855 powerhouses for $50 less than most other authorized US retailers to begin with, which essentially means you're looking at $150 and $250 price cuts on the S10e and S10 respectively. No monthly installments or bill credits involved, no trade-in or new service line required. Just upfront T-Mobile activation and full payment.
In case you're wondering, the only decent rival for the Galaxy S10e and S10 we can think of in the sub-$650 segment is the $579 and up OnePlus 6T. But even that bad boy packs a slowly aging Snapdragon 845 processor.
