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 did at the mobile kiosk. They were familiar with the purchase process. there
I just wanted to thank you VERY much for responding to my message about GCs not being accepted online. Your method worked perfectly (once I finally found someone at BB that knew what the hell they were doing)

For others doing something similar, here was the process. I asked someone at the front for help and a mobile employee helped me at Customer Service:
  • Trade in Pixel 6. Trade value is $230, plus includes a $250 credit/coupon towards a Pixel 7/7 Pro preorder. (This is different than how it is done online) You MUST trade in your phone on the spot. I transferred all my data to an old Pixel 3 XL a few hours ago.
  • Preorder 7/7 pro. I went with the 7 Pro 128GB. $250 will be taken off when the coupon is scanned. (The coupon prints as part of the trade-in). This ALSO reduces the price of the phone, reducing tax.
  • BB Employee then scanned the gift card they made during the trade-in for $230.
  • I paid with $459.56 ($419 + $40.56 MA 6.25% tax) of gift cards for the remaining balance
  • I obtained the $200 bonus gift card. If assuming GC = cash, net cost of the Pixel 7 Pro was $259.56, or $419 + tax + $200GC. Same trade-in for the Pixel 7 would have been $119 + tax + $100GC.
  • Once all was finalized, I wiped the data for my phone in front of the BB Employee. (I requested to do this last to ensure all went well, but you can wipe it ahead of time I would imagine)

Thank you all for making this work! Hope this info helps others--I made the mistake of obtaining $950 of GCs thinking I would need them all, now I have lots more than I need, but I'm sure I will find use for them (Pixel Watch, LG OLED....so many options!)

I mean you're making a LOT of extra work for yourself when these Magisk modules are extremely well known and work quite well but you do you.
Thanks for sharing man.
I am not comfortable with what you suggested. especially with all my personal and private info (fingerprint, facial info, photos, banking, google wallet/credit card) on my phone.
Also, I don't want my google account to be locked if Google finds out about the software spoofing workaround you suggested.
Besides, I am not as smart as you technically haha
You do what you want, I do what I want.
Peace.

Does anyone know if you buy refurb phone from Straight Talk, can you cancel plan and keep phone right after you receive it? Will there be any penalties?

Planning to buy a refurb with a new number and use it for a trade-in.
Were you able to find an answer for this? I also plan to purchase a refurb from ST with activation card but I don't plan to even activate it. Just trade it in to BB. I hope that doesn't cause any issue with the trade-in.

Yes, I'll put a case, but I mostly use clear TPU cases. I ordered below case

Have you used this brand before? Hope it doesn't yellow out like some of the transparent cases.

If you go to pre-order a Pixel 7 online, go to trade-in your phone. It will be the value you see on this thread. If you go to trade it in for any other reason (just on BB's regular trade-in site for example) it will be $250 less. It's just a promo credit and that's how they do it in-store. Online it's just folded into the full trade-in price. The nice benefit of the way they do it in-store is it knocks $250 off the price entirely, so the taxes are less.

Are they shipping you the phones or you have to go back to Best Buy to pick them up?

How long does the Rktn cashback take to register? I used the extension when placing the order, and received a confirmation notification via the extension. But there's no cash showing on my account yet.
