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.

Which model is the one from metro? There are two black 64 GB on the best buy trade in options. MHCP3LL/A or MWL72LL/A? Thanks! Hope that boost deal is active. Dead link.

Can you go to BB store and trade-in phone right there? I would do that if possible so i would know if they're going to give me max. Also so basically $545 for trade-in plus an additional gc for $745 off of $899? Sounds like a steal to me. I have P6P

UPDATE: just checked BB website and the P6P trade-in dropped to $500...shoot!
Did you choose 'Activate later'? You need to do that to get full trade in (I don't know why)

Anybody know the process if you do store pick up with a trade in? Do they do the inspection then? Then give you time to transfer things from the phone to the new one?

They are giving almost $400 for my xs with a cracked back glass! That combined with the $100 gc .. not sure I could turn that down. Hopefully there are no surprises with the trade in. Even with a $0 value assessment seems they have the $300 promotional credit for trade-in so I think everyone gets a minimum of $300 trade in credit.

Quote from bargainbernie :
For these trade ins, you get the money off the top directly, or it's off in bill credit form?
This only works with "activate later" where they bill you all at once and it is *not* associated there with your carrier. The implication is - no bill credits. They are saying (if you click and look through their explanation of the trade in process) they will refund back the full value of your trade it plus associated tax. So I think they take it off the top....retroactively.

BB is only offering me $275 for my Galaxy S21+. Google is giving me an est. value of $530 if I buy the phone directly from them.

Pixel 7 Pro 256GB would cost me $560.16 out the door with Google. Granted they don't try and screw you over with the trade in value by saying something is wrong with your phone.

Pixel 7 Pro 256GB would cost me $815.16 out the door with BB. The do include $200 GC. The only thing with this option is, BB knows they'll get the money back, so you end up spending more in the long run.
Google screwed me over on a trade in saying the screen was broken when it was in mint condition when I mailed it to them.

Just go with Pixel 7 bro. I own the P6P. I prefer a flat screen and 'smaller'/less heavy phone now after owning P6P . The 3rd camera is of no use to my personal use e.g. I just use the point and shoot my picture most of the time. Hardly use the zoom feature at all.

Use your savings to pick up a used Pixel (prior to Pixel 5) to allow unlimited google cloud photo backup.
I own the original Pixel 1.
All that I need to do is transfer all my photos and videos quarterly/monthly from the DCIM/ camera folder on my P6P folder to my original Pixel 1 DCIM/Camera folder using the usb-c cable on my laptop as the middle man.
Once all the photos and videos have been backed up into the Google cloud storage on Pixel 1....clear and release the storage on the Pixel 1.

No need to pay for the Google One subscription which can cost hundred of dollars over time .
Maybe for a Pixel 1 but for the Pixel 3XL unlimited original quality photo and video storage ended at the beginning of this year.

Why don't you just get the Metro PCS iPhone 11 for $99 (+ tax + activation+ first month) with port in Boost Mobile $.99 number. Cancel Metro line before 30 days. Trade it in for $490.
Thanks, I forgot about this deal. I do have a number to port, but the visiting the store to complete the purchase, I not too fond of.

I ended up buying the iPhone XR from Tracfone for $99.

Correct.
Only Pixel 1 has the special unlimited original quality photo and video Google cloud storage.

That is the reason I will hang on tight to both my Pixel 1 and Pixel 2(as a backup) forever.
Pixel 1 - free unlimited Google Photos at original quality
Pixel 2-5 - free unlimited Google Photos at compressed quality
Pixel 6-7+ = no more unlimited Google Photos of any kind, any uploads count against your Google Drive space

To be honest, for my purpose, I don't see much difference between original quality and compressed quality backup on the Google cloud photo backup.

Google cloud photo backup offers a lot of conveniences. It allows me to search and access my photos and videos through my phone, tablet, or laptop internet browser at any time and from anywhere in the world. It also allows easy sharing of cloud photos with families and friends.
Despite the convenience, I would recommend that you still have your own backup on your hard drive.

If you don't use Google photo cloud backup, no issue.
If you use Google photo cloud backup ...it will potentially cost us hundred of dollars over time (depending on the amount of storage u use on Google photo cloud storage)

I am suspecting that's the reason why Google is offering such good deals on their new phones and offering higher trade-in value to recall back their older phones.
They will get us to pay up for their services over time (if we use the Google photo cloud storage).

So decide wisely before you trade in your old Pixel phones (Pixel 1-5).

Cheers.

To confirm, are these fully unlocked if I chose "Activate Later"? They don't lock to the first SIM card inserted or anything like that, right?

I still have my 3XL as a backup. The problem is with videos. Compressed videos look horrible. Unless they've improved on that.

I video my boxing and show close ups of the phone. Never had an issue since.
