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.

Does using the paypal Chase Freedom 5% bonus affect the extra one year extended warranty normally included with the Freedom Flex card?

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?
So long as you pick an unlocked phone you should be fine, activate later doesn't really refer to activating anything, if the phone you buy is unlocked, it should work with any sim card.

Anyone expecting better deals on Flagships during Thanksgiving? I would like to get a P7Pro or S22 with good trade-in values.

I am having a hard time letting go of my 256 GB Note10+ phone. The battery still lasts more than a day too and I have an extra MicroSD card in its slot to store all my MP3's.

-google only upgraded the medium cores so its not getting any faster than the pixel 6

Check recent comparisons pixel 7 is smoother.

You can remove anything you think is bloat on the s22 so its a non issue.

- i want a good experience out of the box. Don't want to hack the phone, instal custom roms etc. Don't want Samsung asking me which app to use when I want to make a phone call. It's all a PITA
If you think going to settings and removing the app is hacking and equivalent to installing a custom rom then you're probably right that a Samsung is too hard for you to use.

If you want a good experience out of the box how are you promoting the pixel at all? Every pixel at launch has had issues out of the box. Most were fixed fairly quickly but looking at the pixel 6 some never got fixed because it is the hardware. Hardly the great out of the box experience you are trying to make it out to be.

I've owned the pixel 1,2,3, and 6. The first three were great but not problem free.

my question is about
3. You get a BB gift card for the TIV of the iphone 12 max pro
>>>> will we get $790 or $490? ($300 is actually a BB promotional trade in bump)
You get a GC with $490 on it and forfeit the $300 bonus. Not worth it. so make sure you plan on keeping the device.

Is Pixel 7 Pro worth $200 more than Pixel 7? The only reason for me to get a Pixel is for their cameras. Everything else is better on Samsung, IMO. Since Pixel 7 will have the same post-processing of images as Pixel-7 Pro, is $200 more justifiable?

I asked that somewhere else but never got a response - I'm only halfway into my P6P contract with Verizon - can I upgrade with Best Buy and just keep making payments on my phone every month even though I will no longer technically have it in my possession? Or will Verizon give me trouble over this?

Also, is there an easy way to liquidate the $200 GC without selling it at a deep discount?

You can, yes. Buy the unlocked model from best buy, Verizon doesn't even need to know you did anything, and you just keep paying off the traded in phone. This works with any 3rd party company that isn't your carrier. E.g. I did this with Samsung earlier this year.

As for the gift card, maybe check the best value on sites that buy gift cards. you might get 85-90% of the value out of it.

I suppose it depends on what you're looking for, but I think they're still giving $600 for the Note 10+ in the other deal:

Depends on what you want in a phone. Pixel 7pro has the telephoto lens, bigger screen, higher refresh rate, bigger battery, more ram. Might be worth the $200 to some people. It's totally personal preference at that price difference. I do think it's a reasonable price difference and good pricing strategy by Google.

For me it's not worth it. I can't really say I've ever needed more zoom in any pictures I've taken on my pixel 6 and if I really wanted I could just use my Sony camera which I almost never use. I also don't want a phone bigger than my pixel 6 and don't like curved screens. The pro has a curved screen.

Still just personal preference. Some people like the bigger sizes and take a lot of outdoor pictures from afar.
