3 trade ins later, no issues
iPhone 7 32GB has $290 trade-in value if anyone's interested in.
Being critical of google doesn't mean they're an apple fanboy... a fair amount of people did seem to have issues with their trade ins. Though I'm sure there are far more that have had theirs go without a problem (I'm in this category).

Just got $100 refunded on each 6a via retroactive price match to Amazon/Best Buy.

Total cost after buying 2 iphone 8s for $80 was about $50 for each 6a. Went from slick to an insane deal with a single chat. Thanks to the person who suggested going for the PM at Google Store.
Using the Best Buy link? Any pointers on what to say, I'd like to do the same.

I originally sent them the necessary info (order number, Amazon link, etc.) and originally the rep came back and said the Amazon link showed oos. But I think this is because he was maybe out of country or something, who knows.

Anyway, so I grabbed the links to BB and Target and sent those as well, and attached a screenshot from Amazon showing it was in stock and ready to ship. Then I was simply patient as they checked with a "specialist" and came back about 10 mins later and refunded $100+tax on each phone.

Note: They asked at one point when I recieved the phones. So, I would suggest you do this asap as waiting may cause them to simply say you've waited too long (probably before the 14-day return period).

Best of luck!

Frustrating, but this is definitely YMMV. Maybe try a different agent? Who knows.

He said he would call me back within 24 hours but as best as he could tell he couldn't match it either because of the trade-in offer. It's cool still a sweet deal after all is said in done.

did you do it via chat?

MY first time I did it on the chat. Got denied because the promo does not stack.

Requested a call instead today and was approved but a specialist.

You get two PM with Google.

Price has come down from 450 to 350, and I am expecting it to fall further after Pixel 7 intro. So use your successful PM attempts judiciously.

I ended up using my first PM for $50, so I have to wait for another big decrease before 10/13 (PM window closes) to make it worthwhile.

PM is YMMV. Got shot down multiple times. Tried both chat and phone. Might be related to how high the value of your trade-in is.

Don't worry. You're not alone. I tired four times already. My trade in is worth $290. I suspect that plays a role.
