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 still use wired headphones daily on my pixel 3a XL. does the 6a come with an adapter for wired headphones? i think older pixel phones used to come with an adapter. if i find one, can that adapter be used with the 6a?

I ordered the one that Google sells for $12 since I still occasionally used wired ear buds (coming from a Pixel 4A).

Apple and Samsung's adapters are also highly rated/recommended.
Apple's is $9 and has free shipping:

Samsung's is $14.99 and out of stock so not sure if they do free shipping:

It looks like you can pick them up at Best Buy etc.
And of course you can find them on Amazon. I would just make sure that they are compatible with the Pixel 6. They need built-in DAC or they won't work - you'll find a lot of complaints where people said they couldn't find one that worked with the Pixel 6 because they ordered ones that didn't have DAC built-in... so for me it was just a lot easier to order from one of the major reputable brands.
It's a hassle to turn on a BT adapter and connect ect. Plus now with these phones you have to have an dongle to even use aux.

>> If a return request has been filed between transaction and ship date, then the Store Credit will not be issued

They gave me $30 (instead of $280) for the iPhone in mint condition. Just saying that it was an incorrectly reported phone model. They didn't even look at the pictures and videos and just said Hyla decides the values and they can't do anything. I spend months arguing and opening case tickets, but they did not budge.
The Trade in is strictly a YMMV. And not being able to return the phone without a restocking fee is another problem.
