- The $100 gift card is now included with the Pixel 7 in Snow, as of October 11.

Trade-in value notes:
- In states CA (please add more), tax is charged on (price - TIV_promo).
- In states NJ, NY, tax is charged on (price - TIV_promo - TIV_normal).
- NJ: When I did an in-store pickup of an online-order, tax was automatically calculated on (price - TIV_promo - TIV_normal). But when I did an in-store purchasing today, tax was calculated on (price - TIV_promo). According to the representative, this is because TIV_normal is processes as a GC and it has to be applied after the checkout, so the tax is charged on that part. Don't know if this is all true to CA or other states.

- I've done in-store trade-ins a few times at Best Buy. They only do a cursory look at the phone, to make sure it matches the color and condition. They don't care if it is carrier locked or is still being financed. -RonaldM

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.

Phone shopping has gotten really interesting with all these trade-in offers. You have track prices for many phones/models
Ready for Pickup on Release Date: Today
Pre-ordered, we'll let you know when your pre-order is ready.
Should I still wait for text message ready for pick up or should I just go in ??
"Best Buy: It's taking us longer than expected to get your pre-order ready. We'll let you know when it's ready for pickup. Tap Order Details for more information."
Anyone else getting this BS or have tips/suggestions on how to get my hands on the phone I pre-ordered for Oct 13 pick-up with trade-in and $100 GC?
TIA
A similar thing happened to me back with the S22 Ultra pre-order at Best Buy; pre-ordered 2/9/22 (Phantom White 256GB). Release date of 2/25/22 came and went with my pre-order then in backordered state. Didn't actually get it in until 4/2/22.
If the P7 Pro ends up being backordered, hopefully it won't be as long of a wait.
FYI, my S22 Ultra pre-order involved a trade-in, and the trade-in promotion value was still honored when the backordered phone came in.

Can you let me know if you have any issues? I have yet to pick up my 6 (I have until 10/20) and if I can't trade it in for a 7, I might just let both pickups lapse and just get the refund.
Edit; so the promo doesn't show up on the receipt but the phone is discounted to $649 which is $899-250.
Sweet. Baby Jesus that was difficult.

Everything as expected, no issues, took me 30min.
You don't need to wait for the email confirmation if your order status say "ready to pick" on the website.
No issues with the trade in either, I had a cracked screen Pixel 6 PRO and got $397 for it.
Only issue right now is the virtual gift, received an email saying "Your gift card is ready" but when I log into BB website it says they are having a temporary system issue.
Update, tried again and got the e-gift card, all good.

Originally charged for $973.17 via PayPal to Chase freedom when I pre-ordered.
Traded in an iPhone 11 for $490 ($190 plus extra $300)... after picking up, I got a refund for $530.43 credited via PayPal... so they credited back $490 plus tax... NICE especially since Google Store doesn't credit tax. (I'm in Texas, BTW)
So it looks like in their system, they charged me $599 for the 7 Pro and gave me another $190 for the trade-in... so $300 of the trade-in came off the phone price. Might be good to know in case of return complications. It was also confusing because some of the paperwork said that my trade-in was only $190.
Also got an email that my $200 e-gift card is ready.
So, altogether, if you count the $200 e-gift as cash then the 7 Pro just cost me $242.74 plus an iPhone 11... minus 5% by paying with PayPal and Chase freedom.
