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.

Quote from techdesai2 :
Android manufacturers just don't have pricing power.

With the recent trade-in deals the samsung flagships - s22 ultra and fold 4 can be had for around 30-35 percent of retail price. These are released less than 7-8 months ago.

A lot of folks taking advantage of this deal are swapping a Pixel 6 for Pixel 7 hoping it will have less hardware issues.
it seems like their strategy is to build very overpriced phones, allow for supposedly "crazy" trade in promos like this one or the Samsung unlocked one, and then make outsized margins on uninformed/impatient people paying sticker price.

Does the phone have to be paid off to qualify for trade in? I wouldn't mind having the remaining balance added to this offer if it means getting a newer phone.

I have a pixel 6 that I'm paying monthly for at TMobile (11 out of 24 months) but I'm not happy with a lot of things.

It gets too hot easily, FP scanner is annoying, and battery life is not what I was hoping for (charging is slow as well), and the biggest one being the 5G always hunting and draining battery life.
No, just keep making your payments to your Carrier and they don't care. Source: I've done this twice with Verizon. They are being paid for my S21u but I traded that away to Samsung and haven't had any issues.

Also with previous Best Buy offers the tax was charged after deducting the trade in value. Now the Tax is on the full msrp.
I can't confirm this obviously but the difference in tax on the full vs. the trade-in inclusive price might be refunded when you do the pick up and trade in. This is what it said during checkout:

"When we receive your trade-in item, we'll confirm that it matches the information you provided in the estimate, then we'll refund your payment method the final trade-in value, including any associated tax."

With Pixel 6 trade in and gift card, it's nearly a free upgrade to 7.
Odd the white 7 128 doesn't get gc.
Too bad pixel 6 pro trade in isn't as good

it's just a Best Buy gift card, so can use it for anything sold there.

I'm definitely trading in my Pixel 6 for a Pixel 7 (both non-PRO).

I hope the 7 will take care of 2 issues with my Pixel 6 I disliked enough to switch back to using my Pixel 5A. The Pixel 6 is just too big/heavy. The 7 appears nearly identical to the 5A - very good. I also hated the front fingerprint sensor. The 7 is adding face unlock which should hopefully eliminate that aggravation.

For a net cost of about $70 after trade-in and BB gift card, it seems like a low cost gamble on a phone that is [hopefully] improved from its predecessor.

I'd also note that I never had any signal issues, overheating, or battery issues with my Pixel 6, just didn't like its size and front fingerprint sensor.
It seems the P7 is only 0.1" smaller than the P6. I have no idea on weight, I'd assume it's slightly smaller, <5% difference with the height and battery differences.

I assume the gift card can be used to purchase anything at BB? The fine print mentions something about "can be used only on one gaming system"

Why is this getting up voted?? These trade in value are mediocre at best! What am I missing??
$700 for 12 Pro Max is more than Google ($650) or Apple ($530) are offering. It's actually quite tempting.

Slightly smaller in every dimension - length, width and thickness. It's also slightly lighter than the P6 - 6.95oz versus 7.30oz

It's nearly identical to the 5a in size but .5oz heavier - hopefully just right as I really like the size of my 5a.

You can look up the dimensions/weights and do comparisons of phones on phonearena.com.

$710 for the regular 12 Pro. That's higher than the max. Weird.

Google website is offering the $200 with a future credit, Amazon a $200 GC, but in case with a 128gb S21 in good condition, Google is giving me $490, $100 more than this. I can use the credit so still the best deal for me.

No such restriction. Also it says no expiration. It should be just like a regular eGC.

Can some one pls give trade in experience of Best Buy? Do they play any dirty games to reduce the trade in value? Google Hyla is notorious for that. But trying to figure how it works with best buy
