When will I get my trade-in mailer to return my phone? From the trade-in confirmation screen: "You should receive a prepaid Trade In kit within seven business days after your new phone ships. Use this kit to send us your old phone". You will get an email confirmation that the mailer is being shipped to you, and that email will contain tracking info.
How does payment work with this trade-in? You pay for the entire phone up-front. The trade-in value will be credited back to your method of payment after your trade has been mailed in and assessed for value.
Does the trade-in mailer come with the delivery of the Pixel 6a/buds? No, it is a separate mailing.
Get 10% back in Store credit on Google Store purchases
Sweeten the deal and get a 10% google store credit for future google store purchases, if you sign up for Google One 2TB storage plan for 1 month (cost is $9.99/mo)
https://one.google.com/
WARNING: This relates to the 10% discount for purchasing 2 TB of Google One Storage. If you are upgrading your current paid plan, such as 100 GB, to the 2 TB plan, you will not receive the 10% credit for your purchases until the current billing cycle ends. Only then will purchases provide you the 10% credit 30 days after your order ships. Your subscription will immediately update to 2 TB but your billing account is still your old plan until the next billing cycle. You need to either wait to buy the phone, risking it goes OOS, or use a different Google account.
WARNING: I just upgraded and it gave me 10% credit. To the extent the above warning implies that you must wait to buy phone with store credit, this appears to be incorrect. You do may need to wait 30-60 days to receive the credit, depending on when your billing period starts and when the credit issues, which means you may be hit with a $9.99 billing cycle or two before the credit shows up, but $50 - $9.99 (x2) = $30.02 net profit if this occurs. The real danger is forgetting to cancel, set a Google calendar entry to downgrade/cancel your Google One. YMMV.
Q: What's a good case?
A: I bought this one because I wanted more protection and to show off the beautiful sage green color... and because Amazon has next day delivery and I want it NOW: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&
I saw a $105 Refund Credited to PayPal / credit card. What is this?
Some are seeing a partial refund/credit, however this has typically been charged to the account again (i.e. you won't keep it as an extra discount). Speculation is this has something to do with the Pixel Buds portion of the offer. This is not believed to be related to the trade-in aspect of this offer.

the reviews stating the slow finger print reader is concerning.
If i can go back in time, I would not buy the pixel 6 because the fingerprint reader is embarrassingly slow and misreads if you change lighting conditions. It's simply awful and makes checking the phone a chore. I hate it. No screen protector issue, not my phone (it was exchanged), and it's a common complaint. If you are coming from a phone that had even an average sensor, this will annoy you to no end.
The Google Tensor chips have such unreliable and poor mobile connections that a significant number of users have to reboot regularly or toggle airplane mode on/off just to get data working. It always happens when i drive. Check reddits pixel subs for more info. It doesn't look like any of those issues will be fixed because they simply aren't fixed in the flagships.
It seems to be an issue when you transition towers, so if you travel a lot or travel through dead zones, it'll happen more frequently. An unacceptable problem most in-studio reviews don't address, but real-world users struggle with, and have been since launch.

i normally use the the back cam with flash to get best possible pic instead of selfie cam
when using selfie cam i suggest using it will illumination.
since pixel2 no one has ever beaten my pics
the 6pro's crappier photos are probably due to the camera's insanely high megapixel count...more megapixels are not always better but sells $$$
Just don't think 3a is ever gonna give you that type of return again. Loved mine but it was getting long I the tooth and 64 gb was hurting.
Fingers crossed to see how and what google offers.
Anyone else with same trade in?

i am do tons of side by side pics with other phones maybe about 10k in total side by side comparisons.
i also make sure the other phones have similar settings to make a fair comparison. i can tell u most ofther phones like iphone and samsung have terrible cameras and nothing more then fake hype
samsung ultra has a very decent zoom but with the last gcam 8.5 update pixel has closed the zoom gap to less then 5% and with the next sept update pixel will overtake on zoom. but the ultra is just a one trick pony and last in other ascpects
iphone on the otherhand is a zero trick pony can only take good pics in perfect lighting but is horrible in most situations. ip13pro is miserably bad in zoom HDR low light and moving pics.

u can see my pic on ig asg4aa they dont let u post them here
with the 6A i feel google went in the wrong direction they should have kept the camera the same and weakened the cpu as in past A models. i am thinking 6A camera is only as good as p4 5 5a
so its going back and i am deeply disappointed
i have the 6pro which has the zoom lens and the 6 doesnt which is a very bad decision on googles part. i can tak such amazing moon pics on 6pro and the p6 zoom is even inferior then the p4 but only very slightly.
this ia bad move by google to not have zoom lens on non-pro model. i
its always better to have zoom lens rather then ultrawide lens

you are basically giving your phone away and buying a new priced one.
its a obvious bait and switch.
does anyone have first hand experiences with googles trade value?
looks like a scam at checkout
When they note "All Carriers" will they allow phones locked to lets say Verizon?
This has born out in my experience, as every A phone has been great for me (and I have owned most of them). The Pixel 3a had a random reboot issue at launch which was fixed with one warranty exchange. 4a has been fine, the 4a-5G has been the GOAT for my wife, and I expect the 6a to be as undramatic. I didnt the 5a because that seemed like a half-generation jump from the 4a-5g.
If there are endemic issues which persist, My amex or my Freedom Flex will happilly handle them at the end of the warranty.
To me, there is no risk, only reward, in going for this offer.

How exactly did you phrase it in chat to bypass the add a line requirement?? It's hard enough as is to point them to the specific LEGIT promotion codes for their actual deals 🙃
Chat isn't that hard to find.
