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.

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

Still love the pixel 2 XL and haven't had the urge to upgrade to the 5. Great camera, performance and battery still. The squeeze assistant is gone on the new phones right? What's everyones reasoning to jump from the 2XL? The biggest upgrade from what I hear is color/screen quality and the 5 has wireless charging.

on a side note, Verizon is giving $400 off on the pixel 5 for select trade ins which includes any pixel if you are staying on verizon and don't mind bill credits.

As others have said, it only gives the inflated trade-in value for the unlocked 4a 5G version.

I have fi - assuming there's no difference for me between the fi version and unlocked? Other than I just move my pixel 2 XL's sim card to the new phone and activate?

Confirmed this is working (screenshot attached), $240 for my Pixel 2 128GB. Make me wonder if this is an error since it only works on the 4a 5G (tried it on the 5 and it doesn't work). Guess we'll see when it come times to receive the credit? Either way, awesome find OP, thanks!

I might be wrong but Google is trying to manipulate people here by incentivizing to upgrade to 4a 5G. And 4a 5g seems to be sale in various forms for the last two weeks. If you have used to P2XL build I dont think you would be happy about P4a 5g. You loose some great features in p2xl and you might want P5 later? But you get to have software drop from Google on p4a 5g which ended for p2xl last month.

I also have read bac reviews on p5 earpiece/front speaker as it is located under the screen and sounds hollow. For me I like the new p5 but stereo matters so maybe google needs to release p6 lol.
There is also rumors that the next Pixel would ship with Google chip (not titan but the SoC itself)
