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.

This would be my first Best buy phone deal, so please forgive the ignorance.

I use visible wireless, which uses Verizon towers but is prepaid. Does anyone know if I choose activate later if there are any strings attached or if I'll be able to just pop my visible SIM card into this new pixel phone and it will work from the get-go? In other words, I don't understand what I'm activating later on a prepaid mobile plan?

If I'm already a T-mobile customer is it possible to get the $499 price? If I add a new line will I be able to cancel before they charge me?

Should I upgrade from a S21 Ultra to Pixel 7 Pro? The specs seem exactly same.
The S21 Ultra provides a stylus(in the Samsung cover) + great zoom lens + a great battery life (even after 2 yrs) + USB OTG.

Why should I pull the trigger?

Total cost with tax (CA): 1090
-- 630 Trade-in (for the 256Gb S21 Ultra 5G)
-- $200 best buy gift card
-- 5% cashback($54) on Chase Freedom when using paypal
Net damage: $206

This happened to me many years ago when the Note 9 was launched. I tried to trade in a Metro iPhone 6, but they didn't accept it as it wasn't in their system. Anyone here successfully traded in a Tracfone/Total Wireless iPhone 11?
It only happened to me 1/10 times, that's because the TW is not a standard postpaid model.

Tough call but I think I'd sit tight with the S21 Ultra.

The big difference is the os. If you don't like Samsung, it's worth it. If you don't mind or you like Samsung, then stick with the s21.

My Pixel 6 locked to T-Mobile for 40 days? Do you know if we can still trade in this Pixel 6 with BB to get the Pixel 7?

I'm planning to trade in my current pixel 6 for the upgrade and pick up the new phone in store. I guess it's not possible for me to sync the data to the new phone before I surrender the pixel 6 right?

Surprised to hear that. Hoping this doesn't happen with the TW iphone xr or 11 deals that popped up. If so, then ruh roh guess I have to find another phone.

You mean they accepted your TW/TF phones 9 out of 10 times?

Oh lucky you, no more 256GB Hazel color on the west coast for me! urghhhh....
Quote from Madanshah16 :
256GB Hazel color not available in NJ region. I will swing by bestbuy to see if they have this color on display. split between black and hazel. my previous 6 pro was black as well.
Oops, my bad, thought you are talking about 128GB. No, 256GB Hazel is not available in NY area too.

Too bad, I wanted 256GB hazel too. Well, since it's OOS, guess I will keep the 128GB order for now.

Once you get your receipt, they'll break out the trade-in. This is what I got for my Pixel 6 Pro, which was $65 higher than Google Store ($480) offered.

$545.00 Trade-In Value =
$295.00 Trade-In Device + $250.00 Trade-In Promotion

They could be wrong because it's just one rep, but I just confirmed on BB's chat that if you return the P7, you'll get the full TIV (promotion plus device trade-in) as a gift card. So, in the XR's case $420.

But we'll see when the time comes.

Quote from bommalattam :
any idea what happens if you return the phone unopened? do we get the GC for the bumped up trade in value? or actual value for phone..

ex: iphone 12 pro max give $790 (490 + 300 additional). my question is will the refund be $790 or $490

:-)
It will $490 . BestBuy has already learnt lesson from one of the previous deals.
They changed promotional value as coupon. So you used coupon on this current order, so when you return coupon will no longer be valid.
