You can get a pixel 4a 5G at 260-264$ after trading in a pixel 2 or 2 xl. This is the best trade in value for pixel I have found so far

To make it even more slick, (only if you like/value the google store credit of any use)

1. Buy/Upgrade the google one membership on the google account you plan to buy the phone with 2TB plan and choose monthly option. , don't choose annual.

Post transactions check your storage on one.google.com and for sure if it is when 2TB, looks for benefits in left section, where it makes you eligible to earn 10% as credit on google store purchases.

2. The shop now from benefits, or head direct to store.google.com
3. Add Pixel 4a 5G, do required steps before trade-in step and then add the Pixel 2/2XL or Pixel 3/3XL as trade-in since those are having high trade in values.

4. In cart, it will show $49.90 coming as credit to you because of membership ( on right top i believe, and yes it gives credit only on purchase price, not on tax)
Note - The credit is added to account 30 days post your device ships.

5. On checkout, you will see your calculated trade-in on right and then process the payment
- either via same paypal trick above ( for some reason, this didn't work for me// even contacted paypal, but didn't resolve, so ended up paying using Chase Freedom Unlimited for 1.5%)
- use any other benefit card (1-2%)

6. Order completion page will show the credit it will earn, the ship dates for phone and Trade In Kit. For what everyone is seeing it is showing up to be shipping/arriving a week later.

7. For Google One Membership, Keep a watch on 30 day credit mark, the moment it shows up, cancel the 2TB monthly plan, or roll back to lower tier. For existing members , can't say if they will be get charged one or two month before they cancel, but since a new member would have purchased device and plan on same day, hopefully they will be able to cancel before 2nd month charge hits resulting in net profit of ~$40 else $30

In Summary : $499 + tax(~35) + $9.99 - $27 - $49.99 - $225-295
= $170-$240

I won't think that is bad price for new Pixel 4a 5G in comparison to the Google Fi deal provided the trade-in doesn't hold much value outside these scenarios.

8.That credit is google store credit , can be used on anything, on new phone, mini, case anything.

Enjoy your new device.

PS - The iPhone XR is showing $373 in trade-in where as iPhone11 ~ 250. So you never know what your device may be of worth unless you keep checking.
Only seems to work on 4A 5G, not Pixel 5 Frown
I'm still waiting on a good enough reason to get rid of my 3 XL. I would still be using my 2 XL but dropped it in a lake

$235 for my 2 XL.

That's more than selling it on swappa. It's averaging 100 there.

Wish it worked on the Pixel 5.

Repped!

Quote from Poiuyt00 :
I am getting $240 with my 128 2XL. Will the trade in come as cash or store credit?
if its paid in full CC then it would be refund back to cc. if you choose finance
"*Your refund will be applied on your Google Store Financing payment plan, beginning with your final payment to Synchrony, our payments partner. The final amount refunded may be higher or lower than our estimate if its condition is different than what you indicated in our Trade In wizard."

It's only towards a 4a 5G

That is good. My battery on my 2XL is almost dead so getting anything for it would be great.

Only works on unlocked option of Pixel 4a (5g). I have a cracked pixel 3XL and this seems like a good option to get rid of it.

Whoa! I'm getting $222 trade-in for Pixel 2 XL with cracked screen. Insane! It's for Pixel 4a 5G, simple unlocked.

One question. My phone has a contact skin on the back for better grip. Should I remove that it before I ship to Google, or can I leave it on without trade-in hassle?
