You'll get charged the full price + taxes when making the order with a trade-in online. When you go in-store to pick up the new phone and trade in your old phone, they'll refund you the difference and with that, your taxes will also be adjusted according to the final price.

Source: I traded in my Pixel 6 for a Pixel 7 a month ago at Best Buy.

There'll be a lot of cancellations if the promo is not honored after the 28th. I just odered the XR from ST today. I wonder if I should've chosen 1 day service for $5 considering it's a holiday week. If it doesn't ship by tomorrow, I may not receive it by next Monday.
I think they will honor it, based on the fact when you order from the website it does say they lock you in $460 for an XR. It's only Best Buy internal accounting that arranges $110 of that as trade-in value (decreasing after tax price) and $350 of it being a Google promo coupon (decreasing pre-tax price). Since the Google promo coupon is an arrangement with Best Buy (not consumers) there are no public terms available, such as expiration date, etc.

That's another reason to order from the website - if you think that you won't have the trade-in until after the 28th. You will need to have $500+ in credit available to place the order and lock in the deal.

Google store also has some crazy trade in deals. P5 gets $400 trade in credit on a P7, which is only 499, so upgrade is only $100 plus tax.

No. Locked also fine.

Carrier locked is fine.
Apple ID / iCloud locked: No, they will likely not accept it, although a few report success. You might need to go to several stores for an Apple locked phone to be accepted. I suggest asking the employee that question early on.

No, you can only get your trade-in value back as far as I know. Let us know otherwise, but that's what the paperwork seems to say. Plus, if you opened the Pixel 7 you will be charged $45, so that will come out of the trade-in value returned. Trade-in value is not the full $460 for an iPhone XR as an example. $350 is a Google coupon and they will tell you $110 is the trade-in value during the process. A return only gets you back $110 at most in that case.

I don't think it makes sense to ever return the Pixel under this promo. You are better off reselling the almost new Pixel and using that money to buy a similar phone to the one you traded in. You can likely get a brand new iPhone 12 mini for less than what you get from reselling the Pixel 7 if you do it right.

For others, take the time to try the Pixel 7 at the store display (hopefully they have one available) before doing a trade-in.

I work for Verizon and we would never return a trade in device after you turn it in. I'd say best buy probably does the same.

I have not noticed any lag in mine thus far. The screen and camera are WAY better than the XR as well.
How is the fingerprint reader? Do you have a screen protector on the device?

He keeps saying he liked the Motorola phones! I'm wondering if he would constantly misplace the stylus though. He is also a very impatient swiper/tapper. I guess I should hunt around a little for him, but I'm already in the midst of my own research fatigue lol.

My galaxy S9+ was stolen on my Chicago layover, prompting this upgrade first to a pixel 6a I will probably return, and then hopefully to the 7 pro if I can get it all worked out.
Amazon has the Moto Stylus, so shipping is easy. Not sure about returns if he does not like it.
The stylus is housed in the phone, but you have to make sure he/she feels the click that it is secured. Even if lost, I am sure you can get another fairly cheap. Likewise, the fact that the Moto isn't a brick in weight is an advantage to elderly for using and carrying.

If you get the iPhone11 you can trade at BB for the Pro or at the Google Store for the Pro. I opted for the P7 because it is only $240 after everything. The P7pro will cost another $200. Can't say the better screen or camera functions are worth that. I have the P7 and personally, it is fine in resolution and camera functionality. Plus, the size isn't too big to hold in one hand.

That doesn't make sense. The iphone XR is 4 years old. And compared to the XR, the Pixel 7 has 8GB vs 3GB of RAM and a 4,355mAh battery vs 2,942 mAh in the XR. There would have to be some serious waste of resources in Android OS.
Iphone has unfortunately been ahead of Android in terms of performance. Big reason is apple makes their own chipset and their own OS. They can get away with less RAM and still have better performance.

The Tensor G2 is also not very good compared to snapdragon 8 gen 1 (latest snapdragon chipset). It's comparable to top of the line snapdragon 3-4 years ago.

..The only other person I know who wants a new phone has a Samsung a42 with a cracked screen to trade in, and is NOT a deal hunter (elderly, bad at using a phone at all lol) I think I'm the only one trying to do this pixel deal, so it would just be one phone. I could probably have my husband take cash. Why is that better?

Thanks!
just a precaution i like to take.
paying w cash ,then no way for them to charge a cc.
its probably overkill, i will admit

Quote from SpinControl :
...You should consider the Moto 5G Stylus ($199) or the non-5G ($150) for that elderly person who is bad at using a phone.
Larger screen. Stylus pen for tapping and writing.
the m g stylus 5g 2022 is free , currently, if in stock, which it is.
at metro. but of course, it will be locked to metro for 180 days.
so may not help u much.

but getting a ip11 to specifically trade in for p7

Here's a good question for the experts out there.

My BB didn't have the unlocked version in stock so I had to ship to store for pickup on Dec. 2. Do you think they will still honor my trade in with the promo?

Completely agree - Current iPhone Chip is 2\3 years ahead of current Qualcomm chip SD Gen 1 and Google G2 is 3\4 years behind Qualcomm chip SD Gen 1. So overall Google G2 is 4-6 years behind Apple chip.

I did order a P7 for iPhone XR (Brought a mint condition XR for $150 on offerup) and going to pick up on Nov 25th and I think Google has to keep doing these higher Trade-in until they catch up with Apple which i think will take 10 years easily if they are still continue pixel line.

I checked out the P7 and 7 PRO at BB store yesterday and it was running worm to hot also was stuttering when i tried video with cinematic blur - could be due always connected to charger? don't know but G2 is way behind.
