Quote from dogmarcopolo :
just went to best buy to get pixel 7 with iphone XR and failed. the iphone XR i have is directly from Apple unlocked. i followed the instruction from people here and used Verizon and thought it would be ok. but the employees there claimed the $350 credit is from the carrier and i have to activate the phone there, so they do check whether your trade in match, but just model but carrier also.

maybe i am unlucky but want to share my experience here. the moral of the story is don't just trust what people said in this forum. wasted a trip and didn't get the discount as promised.
Those employees have no idea what they're talking about (either that or they're trying to scam buyers into adding a plan so they get a bonus). The credit absolutely does not require activation of any kind. I got it with no mention of adding any carrier or plan at all and others have reported the same. The forum is a great source of information, but it's not going to help if you get an incompetent employee.

Personally, I'd call the store manager and explain that employees there were basically trying to scam you into buying something you don't need. And if he didn't help, get the number for the district manager. Low-level employees will often find shady ways to push extras so they get bonuses. But mangers at some point will usually step in and try to correct it because that kind of thing can lead to big class-action lawsuits for corporate misconduct if they let it go unchecked.

If someone already paid and waiting on a phone, they have already locked in at the promo price. Trade in offers will honored for 15 days from payment. The trade just needs to be processed and their done.
If I placed the order to trade in an iPhone XR but it doesn't arrive any idea if they'll let me switch my trade in to an iPhone 11 and still let me keep the deal? Maybe it would depend on the store?

Try another store.
Locking state does not matter. I used Metro Iphone 11 as Tmobile phone in 3 different BestBuy. The store all applied coupons differently resulting it varied gift card amount after trade in, but not a single one denied it for being locked to Metro or not bein direct from Tmobile.

Since we are getting IPhone 11 at metro pcs for $120ish.. why not hold on to it and it gets unlocked in 6 months (don't have to use it past month one, can leave it aside)

Is it not worth more than pixel 7 ?

I also just did a quick online chat with Best Buy and asked if any plan activation was required for the full trade-in promo. At that point, he asked if I wanted an Unlocked phone or specific carrier Pixel. I said Unlocked and he said that no plan was required. However, that made me realize that when you pick the Pixel 7 you want to buy, there is an option for Unlocked but also Verizon or some other carrier are options. I wonder if "Verizon" is selected there, maybe that requires activating a plan with that new phone at that point. Anyway, no plan or activation is required for the trade-in promo toward an unlocked Pixel 7 and can be easily confirmed with their reps.

Ordered iPhone XR from ST on Nov 21 with 1day shipping. Updated reports with ST CSR, still no delivery.

Paypal was charged. ST CSR says no way to cancel. It's a bit crazy. Hope it ships this week.

Interestingly enough, the best buy order that was placed last week to be picked up today hasn't gotten fulfilled, even though the website shows there is inventory at the specific BestBuy store.

(edit: got an email from BB that the order is ready to be picked up. Pick-up date is extensible to 2 weeks from the original pick-up date... BUT still no words from StraightTalk when I called today)
I'm in the same boat. I've called StraightTalk at least 5 times now, each time, I get a different reply. Warehouse team told me I'd get it last week, corporate office says it's pending fullfilment from warehouse team, customer service says my payment is still pending even though Paypal and my credit card has been settled and I've been charged.

StraightTalk is straight shit

EDIT: My order was placed on Nov 20th, so well over a week and still no shipping update / tracking number. Terrible customer service

So like many others, I bought the StraightTalk iPhone XR with the $35 dollar Bronze month service. I got the phone today, removed the sim card and took it to BB and was able to get the Pixel deal.

My question is where the hell is the info for the $35-month plan? I thought someone said they could resell it. Was it supposed to be included with the phone or will that arrive separately or in an email? All i got was a small pamphlet with the IMEI and Sim ID on it?
did you get a tracking number via email when the phone shipped? if so, how long from time of order to you receiving the tracking number?

It's been 9 days for me and it still says "pending remote fulfillment" on StraightTalk's website...

My iPhone XR is in good condition, no scratches, no cracks in the screen or back, but a drop caused the LCD cable to come loose (?) and there are some vertical black lines on one side of the screen. Does that make the phone fair or good condition?
That's called a damaged screen. Would you buy a phone in that same condition if it's being sold as used? It needs a new screen, they're $30 on Amazon w/ next day delivery. Plenty how to videos to follow.

What I did fwiw...

Chose unlocked pixel 7
Chose Verizon Apple XR trade in (straight talk refurb Apple xr as a Verizon phone).
Got refub XR in the mail and charged it up. Took out sim. Did not setup the phone in any way (left it at choose location)
Went to BB to pick up order.
Gave employee the XR and didn't offer any info beyond bare minimum questions they asked.
Got pixel 7 and full $460 credit.

Good luck.

I had to do that on my first one and it was a mess. They said the third party company is expecting the phone entered on the site and they may get dinged for sending something else. They had to give me a gift card for the difference between my listed trade and the phone I ended up trading in. This was after two managers reviewed the situation and really didn't know what to do. The gift card was my suggestion and they went with it.
