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.

Model numbers do not match. In fact, model number for total wireless or tracfone is not listed on best buy

Same question
They're not going to check that. As long as the specs and color are the same and the IMEI is clean they will take it.

Galaxy S22 or Pixel 7?
With all math and tax, I get $30 back
I'd stick with the S22. The Pixel 6 series has issues with basic stuff like signal and fingerprint unlock. Samsung uses better hardware since it's their flagship. Only switch if you want a cleaner android experience.

I'm only doing this trade in because my Pixel 6 sucks.

i cant decide between pixel 7 and pixel 7 pro with pixel 6 trade in, still thinking

Thanks for letting us know LMAO


But it will boil down to size and weight. In addition Pro (or earlier XLs) has always taken better pics.

The terms on the checkout say tax will be refunded.. not sure if that is true
the terms for a return refund or a trade in? Its 100% normal to be refunded sales tax when you return an item.

I'm in the same boat. I had the S22Ultra, hated it (too big, stutters, camera not as impressive as I hoped, poor battery, etc) so then I decided I'd take a shot at the regular S22. I know they are essentially the same phone with the regular S22 being inferior specs-wise, but I like the smaller size. Anyway, the S22 has been fine but I really miss my old pixels. I had every nexus and pixel up to the Pixel 3, then switched to samsung. I'd rather get pixel, but it seems they always have big problems these days. I preordered the 7 and I'll watch some reviews before deciding.

No he means in the trade-in terms. He's right, it says it right on the trade-in info popup. If true, I think that's pretty great and makes this superior to the Google Store trade-in for sure unless you get way more TIV from google.​

Yeah just that one variant.... I tried telling BBY but they said it's intentional. Makes no sense that one variant would be excluded. All other sellers discount it / promo. Going to ask again and see if it's fixed in the next couple days.

Quote from little_blaine :
Trade-in value for the Pixel 6 is $480, so it's $119 net for the $599 Pixel 7 (not pro) plus tax on the total value, which for me comes up to $158 - which gets me the new phone and $100 GC, so net net is $58.
I'd slightly discount the GC (in my head) as best buy money isn't as good as normal money (if it were amazon / grocery gift cards I'd probably treat it at 1:1 mostly because I basically need to shop there all the time, but best buy is is more of a "want" to buy something than a "need" to buy something type of place.

Quote from NickW0069 :
I didn't see the 5a listed for trade-in so I hit up a chat support agent. They said I'd have to go in store to get phone inspected, etc. They said estimated trade-in was $430 which I think sounds too good to be true.

I requested they e-mail me the chat transcript and once I have a copy I'll go to a store and see what's up. I think you can do this deal through Google till the 12th and they're offering $350 for the 5a.
Please give update once you go in store

Fwiw BB gift cards tend to fetch 85-90% on the open market if you're doing a mental calculation on value.

I saw the pic after I posted. Maybe its true, it might also be different amounts (i.e. 230 / 250 split on the pixel 6 trade in, the 230 might be taxable while the 250 might be treated like a 'coupon").

I traded in my $200 pixel 6 for the pixel 7 without planning to get any tax back, if I do, great, never turn down free money, but its not what I'm banking on.

I feel you. I am in the same boat. Google store offers a much better trade-in value for Pixel 3, though.
