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.

Your comment sums up everything one needs to know about the 6A. It's simply a dull, problem-ridden, middle-of-the-road phone. I don't know who will pay $400 for this phone.
Good luck with your new iPhone. Like virtually all Android users, I've thought about switching to an iPhone but it's not right for me -- I'm cheap and reluctant to get locked into Apple's higher-priced -- but generally problem free -- products.
Well, #1 this is not a $400 phone. I doubt any here will even come close to spending that much on it. Anyone who does hasn't been paying attention or doing their homework.
#2 It's called the Pixel "6a" for a reason - specifically because it's not the Pixel 6 Pro or the Pixel 6. Anyone with expectations of it being anything other than a low/mid range budget phone isn't too smart.
#3 what problems are you talking about? I've had mine all day, streaming, calling, using buds, surfing web, playing movies, Android Auto, etc... not one problem, yet.
Mines was working without protector, but after I put on spigen tempered glass screen protector I can't get register any fingerprint because it just fails at the end and says try another finger but no matter what I try it always ends up saying the same thing.
You can also try increasing the touch sensitivity as well in settings.

Make sure it's charged then shut it down. You can document with video/photo the condition and operation of the phone if you're worried about potential issues with assessment (even packing of phone).

"Another thing to do to increase the fingerprint recognition speed is to turn on increased touch sensitivity in the Pixel 6 by going into the Pixel's 'Display settings,' and enabling the toggle for "Increase touch sensitivity"
This is a good article talking about all the things you can do to improve the fingerprint experience and lists screen protector brands certified by Google for the Pixel 6 - I would stick to buying one of those personally..

"If your fingerprint won't scan, it might be because of your screen protector. Make sure you use a screen protector that is Made for Google certified. Brands that are Made for Google certified for Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6 are Bigben, BodyGuardz, Case-Mate, OtterBox, Panzerglass, Power Support, and ZAGG."

Edit: Nevermind I see that link I provided helped you resolve the issue (you needed to apply more pressure).
