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.

I do not have a trade-in device and was looking to get the pixel 7 pro, but unless I can bring the out of pocket cost way down it is a no-go for me...
I asked Hyla if they can provide a digital prepaid label for me, but they said no. They said kits arrive 7-14 business days after initiating the trade, but if I don't get one within 14 biz days, then contact them again and they'll send another one.

Pre-ordered Pixel 7 Pro in Snow, 128GB, for in-store pickup on 10/6, expected in-store 10/13.
Was not available on Thu 10/13. Received notification Sat 10/15 that it was ready for pickup.
Picked up and traded in my Pixel 6 Pro with no issues.
The original full charge had shown as Pending from the date of preorder.
I see today (10/17) two finalized charges. The first is the full charge, immediately followed by the refund amount for the trade-in + promotion + portion of sales tax, which matches the Order Details online.
Edit:
Meant to mention; received the $200 GC email less than 10 mins after pickup.

I wanted the lemongrass, but I'd rather have a black ridiculously cheap flagship phone than none at all, so I pulled the trigger this morning.

the pixel 7pro is $900 and at $420 TIV and ~$200 out of pocket for trade-in I end up with ~$680 not counting any taxes, so this is not so great an option...

When you all the math, you are getting $900 just released phone for $480, this is almost 40% discount. I doubt you'll see this much discount for a while (most likely until Pixel 8 release).

Not bashing the Pixel 7 series, just saying the list prices are inflated and the street value is much lower, and will continue to drop like a rock every month.
For those who really want one, it's still a good deal at BB right now, but not smoking hot like a lot of people make it out to be. It is an especially good way to dump an old phone, as some of the TIVs are quite good. But even so, not sure how people buying these to flip are making any money, as the resale prices and demand are low.
