Not sure it is worth it
Got the deal. It was slick, thanks. No where else on the internet where you can get $400 for this 2 year old phone. $40 to trade in for a brand new phone, better processor, WiFi chip, next generation. No brainer.

For people that say the A71 5G is better, I have been using it and it sucks, seems like the processor is really slow.
LOL, A71 5G is much better than Pixel 6a...

how long does it take for them to assess the trade in?

the usps tracking shows it was delivered 3 days back but on google store it still shows as "waiting to receive old phone" !

Interesting, but I doubt this will affect anything. They already know the trade-in is happening so I think the price adjustment would be the thing that needs to clear, not the trade-in.

Torn about whether to initiate a return or not..Window closes 10/6/22

I've already gotten a partial refund for price matching. My trade in package has finally stopped updating and it's now arriving late, but still in transit...(which people here says it's a good thing).

But if something happens and they don't receive my trade in, I really don't want to be stuck with this phone for $350 out of pocket.

It's absurd that my trade in has been within 5 miles of the final destination for 8 days now, and it hasn't been delivered.

I would say at least wait until tomorrow. Google is going to make announcement on the Pixel 7 tomorrow, so it is worth waiting to see if there is any good pre-order deal on the Pixel 7 with 6a trade in. (Unlikely but we can hope)

My data point:
purchased on Sep 19
Pixel 6a delivered on Sep 21
trade-in-kit delivered on Sep 27 and shipped back on the same day.
google received it on Oct 4 and inspected it today at full trade-in value.

It looks like the USPS tracking number for shipping back is not reliable but Google did receive it in about a week time frame once the trade-in is shipped back.

The Pixel 7's are out today. The Pixel 6a is not on the trade-in list, but the Pixel 6 (128gb) is valued at $440 trade-in.

Scored a PM today with Amazon for $100 off the Pixel 6a. It took 3 tries through chat but was respectful and asked if they could make an exception due to the trade in as well. Eventually a chat guy at Google emailed me back and escalated it for me and got the price match approved.

https://support.google.com/store/answer/9882124 says this: If you return the phone you bought with your trade-in, you'll receive the trade-in value as a Google Store credit in your account.

Has anyone actually tried this? That would be a sweet deal if we got $400 google store credit for the trade in, after returning the phone.

I've had this confirmed and here are the details:

Return 6a before TIV is refunded to your card/payment method:
  • You'll receive a full refund for your 6a
  • You'll receive the TIV as credit to the Google Store with an expiration date of 1 year
Return 6a after TIV is refunded to your card/payment method:
  • You'll receive a partial refund for your 6a (purchase price minus TIV you've already received as a refund to your card)
  • You won't receive store credit
This is my understanding after speaking with reps, but they aren't always consistent to YMMV.

Something to keep in mind is that the 6a is fetching at least $300 right now on the open market. So, if you were able to get the price match at $349, and then also received $34.90 in google store credit for your google one membership, it could make sense to just keep the 6a and sell it and keep the cash and the TIV refund.

If you paid $449 and didn't get the google one membership credit then yeah, may make sense to send it back before the TIV hits and get the store credit.

Dropped it off at the Post office in NJ on Sept 28. After departing the Nashville regional facility on Oct 3rd, it's been stuck at the "Moving Through Network - In Transit, Arriving Late" status. Hoping the package wasn't lost or stolen.

Yes, similar status for me. Delivered to them on 05th Oct, but status still shows "waiting to receive old phone". Did your status change?
