Pre-Order: Google Pixel 6A Unlocked Phone + Pixel Buds A-Series Wireless Earbuds Expired

Trade-Ins: Elevated trade-in values of $300 for older a series Google Pixels, including 3a and 4a which is really sweet. Even cracked screen Pixel 3a and 4a trade-ins are worth $295. Trade-in values for Pixel 3, 3XL, 4 4XL are lower and not as attractive.

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)

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&psc=1 And that case has a top frame with a built-in screen protector too.... or a frame without a screen protector if you don't want to use one or you want to use your own glass one or something. But any 6a case from Spigen, Caseology, Poetic should be good. Obviously it depends on what you want (level of protection and personal preference).

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.
