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.

I wasn't using the phone anymore, so it was perfect timing for me to turn/trade it in and be done with it
Happened to me before on order but not pre-order since my Best buy did not have Samsung S22 in stock. Best buy took my Flip 3 trade in and credit on the spot then ship S22 to home in 2 days. I was told by csr that I'll be cell less until the new phone come.Madlaugh out loud

Any one know if we do the in-person trade in that we can take the new phone home to transfer everything before we actually trade in the old phone? Just unfamiliar with the process.

Usually to get the credit on the spot you'll need to give the phone at the time. It's only really beneficial if you go into the store willing to hand it in right then. Otherwise you might be better doing it online.

Ah so if I understand correctly, I can pick up the phone, do the transfer at home, and complete the trade-in online? Still the same discount, just delayed?

I wonder if I can use gift card to pay for the remaining amount in the store.
yes you can. I've just done it in store. Two pro 7. Had about 750 existing card. in Store...got the trade applied as 250 coupon..(of the original price...reduced taxes by$20)....remaining value applied as payment. And also used my existing gift Card. Was handed a $200 gc for the first transaction. And used for the second in addition to existing gc. Walked out with 105 payment on CC and a new $200 gift card from the second transaction.

"Better" depends on factors such as instant discount vs. recurring bill credits, as well as being carrier unlocked from day one.
Got it. Yea looks like T-Mobile is the best if you have a Pixel 4... even though it's 24 months of credits, you get the Pixel 7 for free.

Any ideas on how to best churn the 200 BestBuy GC for cash or some other GCs?

This seems like a better deal for me because of the trade-in but I don't use BB to shop - just 2-3 small items over the past 2 years, and even that was last minute stuff.

Quote from Bushdog :
Did you choose 'Activate later'? You need to do that to get full trade in (I don't know why)
I didn't since i never saw that screen. Maybe i needed to hit the chat with TMobile rep first, but i didn't want to do it. My guess is if trade it in store i cant use the activate later option online, thus only getting $500 for it.

Not for me . I still see $545
Ok.

I have a couple of questions for the cell phone experts on this thread:
1. Can I back up my Pixel 6 to google or to a jump drive or some other way, then factory reset it to trade it in before I pick up my new pixel 7, then restore all my data, contacts, photos,etc. to the pixel 7 when I bring it home?
2. I have a pixel 6 128gb Verizon version now. Can I remove the sim card from the pixel 6 before I trade it in and install it in my new pixel 7 128gb UNLOCKED VERSION. Will my phone activate on its own, restoring my cell telephone number and allowing me to use it on the Verizon system just like I did with my pixel 6. Will my cell phone plan that I am currently on not be affected in any way,shape,or form? Will that allow me to not pay any activation fee thru Verizon with my new Pixel 7? Will Verizon know that I have upgraded my phone?
When I purchased the Pixel 6 Verizon version last year, I connected my pixel 2 to the pixel 6 with a data cable to transfer the data from one phone to the other. I actually purchased two pixel 6's, one activated on its own and the other I had to call Verizon to activate it. Best buy charges $39.99 to transfer data from the old phone to the new phone in the store.
Thanks in advance for any information provided to help me out. I really appreciate it.

I'm pretty sure you can wait till after you get your P7 before trading in or sending in your P6. I normally transfer my data from old phones to my portable 1TB usb drives in the past before resetting the phones. Are you planning to trade in your phone at your local BB store?
