Since this is asked so much:
Pixel 6a is not available for trade in because it's new and Google still sells them.

At a physical brick and mortar store when they ask you during a refund process if you've got the original card I've actually just said yes and inserted a different card and the credit just goes to that card (did this the first time by accident). And I can't remember the exact details but I've been issued a refund higher than my original purchase price for an online order before. I remember being completely surprised that it happened, and that it was even possible, before just realizing that there doesn't have to be anything preventing it from happening. The merchant is just issuing a credit or refund to a form of payment.
So again, not saying that Google is definitely going to do it here, but that I can totally see it happening. They have my credit card/payment details. They promised me credit from a trade in. They can credit that account the amount they said. There is nothing I can find on the site that says anything about what happens in the instances we're discussing, though. Also, the transactions seem to be treated separately so I can totally see it happening.
I had the Best Buy trade in all set and literally just got an email confirming that my phone is ready but that was going to be $246 out of pocket and a $200 gift card. Even then if I wasn't happy with the P7 I'd be paying a restocking fee. So I think I'm all in for this, instead.
Now whether or not Google ends up giving excess trade in value as a full refund vs partially as store credit remains to be seen.
My pixel 7, was basically discounted by $300, and then further discounted by 210 for the trade in values.
I paid tax on the $90 transaction.
The best part is there is no anxiety for waiting my pixel and /trade in device to be fully inspected.
So I ended up getting $100 BB giftcard for $98, by trading my iphone 12 mini 256 GB with ~1.5 year old battery for pixel 7. Whether this was a good decision is remain to be seen i suppose.

My last two phone upgrades I did through them taking advantage of the high trade-in value, and you get the discount instantly. Used it going from S20 Ultra to S21 Ultra, then also trading a S21 Ultra to get a S22 Ultra.
They send you the new phone. You then have a few weeks to a month to send back your trade-in phone. If you do not send it in then they charge you the credit, or if you send something completely different than what you claimed, they will charge you the difference between what you sent and what you claimed.
Even when ordering a $1300 phone with $950-$1000 credit and discounts they trust the customers enough to send them a brand spanking new phone on the "honor system". There is no reason that Google cannot do this, they just choose not to.

I really wish they would change their trade in system because the devices themselves are good. Samsung's trade in system is so much more efficient that Google's system looks pathetic.
Its so easy to set narratives on social media by these so called influencers.
