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.

Best Buy says "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". My understanding is that the tax on TIV will be refunded.

For now. I expect it to be gone with the 8 series. Rumors came out that Google has already activated the ability to use dual eSIM on the 7 series if you don't put a SIM in the slot much like Apple did with the 13 series before axing the physical slot. Google traditionally seems to follow Apple's lead so...
They better not do that. Physical SIM is a must for me and many others.

Pixel has double click power to open camera and minimal shutter lag too so I don't know what you're on about.

OneUI is *NOT* stock Android AT ALL. It's THE most bloated skin shipped on a US device.

The S22U is definitely superior to the Pixel 6. That's not the question. The question is, is the S22U still superior to the 7 Pro? I'm going to bet beyond raw specs, it's not.

The big question mark for me is the modem but otherwise, I'm not really all that worried about it.
The point is that regarding point and shot camera, there is nothing to complain about s22 ultra's camera.

Bloatwares? Have you used recent one UI? Except three or four apps, most of the samsung apps can be uninstalled. Underhood, the bloatwares won't bother anybody and not different from devices from any non-google manufactory.

Same boat. How to deal with MVNO Carriers trade in!
Lie to them during the trade-in, but make sure you select the correct color. Bestbuy employee doesn't care as long as it's not blacklist when they type in the IMEI into the system.

Make sure you have "Activate Later" selected to get the best TIV.

The website literally says it will be adjusted based on the trade in.

What's wrong with trading in brand new in box? Not that I planned to do it but curious.
well, eventually, it will arouse suspicion that people are taking advantage of these kind of deals. they will think customers are gaming the system. and in the next promos, they will change the terms and will make it harder for SDer's to take advantage. i always say, flying under the radar is best.
one example a few months back was people buying a Samsung galaxy phone with enhanced trade in values which included a gift card. then they return the phone and keep the full value of the gift card. then Best Buy caught up and changed the system.

Yeah, +1. I'm still seeing it in cart from previously added Pixel 7, but not if I add it now.
Clear cart, refresh page. For some reason some of the white options aren't working.

Everyone is going to have to get used to it because it's happening.

Bloat in the UI, not bloat from additional apps.

We are never going to agree on this stuff. I think Samsung is the worst phone manufacturer anyone can buy a flagship from and I discourage anyone from supporting them.

Yeah, it looks like having two phones in cart with gift cards is a limit

Please don't trade in a phone brand new in box. Try to open the box and put some fingerprint marks on the screen so you'll look legit.
I've literally picked up an online order from the online BB rep in store, brought the phone immediately to the BB cell department (with the receipt still stuck on it), and traded it in.

They don't care.

I have used pixel 6 pro for a while and am not impressed. It lost cell signal time to time that I haven't seen in any other phones in recent years. Its camera is supposed to be good but oddly it always struggle to capture images when I deposit digital checks.

Can't agree more. Although nobody gives a damn shit Samsung kept pushing their own Google app duplicates for many years that can't be removed.
