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

So confused who has this with the normal pixel 7.
Pixels are a forgettable brand they're like demo phones. As soon as new phones come out people will not remember generic ass Google
Does how much a device hold its value matter? Sure. But letting it be the sole determining factor in whether or not you buy it seems ridiculous if you actually value using and enjoying your phone. I've got an S22 Ultra which surely has one of the top 2 or 3 values for trade ins now and in the future. It will probably be a minimum out of pocket cost to get the S23 Ultra (most likely with free or near free upgrades and extras) or other phone in the near future. But all that means little to nothing if I'm just done with the phone now. Heck, I'm not even looking to upgrade to the next model of the same old thing and experience at this point.
I just want a good, dependable phone with a fast, good camera. The Pixel 7 does that and I'm not going to let these promos go by while I have to continue to deal with a mediocre, lacking experience on a top tier flagship phone, even if it means the phone I'm getting won't net me more down the line. I think the repeated, daily experience with the phone counts much more than its resale value. Why settle for less every single day and time you use a phone just so you can get more credit towards buying another of the same down the line? You do you and let your device's future resale value determine what you buy, but that just seems like a sad experience.

The other SDer is correct. The street value of Pixels phones tank rapidly, and demand in general is typically low for Pixels phones, especially compared to iPhones. For android lovers, you're basically screwed for resale because few hold street value well except for the Samsung Ultras, but even the Ultra cannot compete with an iPhone for resale value.
Android users are best left to playing the trade-in game each year or so. Staying within the same ecosystem, like Samsung for example, can result in some quality upgrades for minimum cost. But even within the trade-in game, Pixel phones often don't get top tier tiv like Samsung flagships.
Not bashing the Pixel series, they seem like nice phones with excellent cameras, but the truth is resale value and tiv matter to most, or should. Enjoy your Pixel 7, but don't expect it to be worth much down the road as say an iPhone or Ultra. Those are nice phones with nice cameras too, are much easier to sell, and hold their value better than any Pixel.
For those who have an old phone lying around that suddenly now has high tiv from BB thanks to this promo, it is worth doing this deal for the Pixel 7. For others, probably not so much.
