Best Buy is including a gift card ($100 for Pixel 7, $200 for Pixel 7 Pro) with all pre-orders, including unlocked models with no activation required.
In addition, the trade-in values look to be decent due to an additional promotional boost up to $250.

For example, Pixel 6 Pro (unlocked) 128GB trade-in nets $545 ($295 + $250 promotional) off towards the Pixel 7 Pro (unlocked) 128GB's $899.99, not including the $200 gift card.

Deal notes:
  • Offer valid through 10/23 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
  • The $100 gift card is included with the Pixel 7 in Lemongrass, which is available for pre-order now, as of October 12.
  • The $100 gift card is now included with the Pixel 7 in Snow, as of October 11.
  • The Pixel 7 Pro in Hazel seems to go in and out of availability for pre-order. Keep checking throughout each day.

Trade-in value notes:
  • In states CA (please add more), tax is charged on (price - TIV_promo).
  • In states NJ, NY, tax is charged on (price - TIV_promo - TIV_normal).
  • NJ: When I did an in-store pickup of an online-order, tax was automatically calculated on (price - TIV_promo - TIV_normal). But when I did an in-store purchasing today, tax was calculated on (price - TIV_promo). According to the representative, this is because TIV_normal is processes as a GC and it has to be applied after the checkout, so the tax is charged on that part. Don't know if this is all true to CA or other states.

Best Buy In-Store Trade-In Experiences:
  • I've done in-store trade-ins a few times at Best Buy. They only do a cursory look at the phone, to make sure it matches the color and condition. They don't care if it is carrier locked or is still being financed. -RonaldM

Okay, I figured out how to find out which trade-in box corresponds to which order.

1. Go to the "Order Details" page for your order on bestbuy.com. This page likely says "Shipping Kit on its way" for the trade in status.
2. Open Developer Console in Chrome. Navigate to the "Networks" tab and reload the page.
3. Search for "trade" in the search box.
4. You should see 3 results - the third begins with "2002..." for me. Click on this one.
5. Click on "tradeInStatusInfo" -> "fulfillment" -> "tracking".

You will see the tracking number of the return shipping UPS label. You should also see a "isBoxShipped" field that likely reflects if your trade-in kit has shipped yet.
Best Buy trade-in process has not changed since iPhone 13 trade-in deal last summer, so all these following tips still apply to this Pixel trade-in. This is for in-store trade-in, I have not done mail in trades with Best Buy.
