Google Store has the Pixel 6a as an even trade for the Pixel 5a (you only have to pay taxes). At only $21.88 oiut of pocket this is a no-brainer for me, as the 5a has known issues with the display (mine required a motherboard replacement).

Trade-in values for other Pixels were also good- for example
Pixel 3 i@ $197
Pixel 4 @ $245.

As always, YMMV since trade-in values can (and do) change often.

Subtotal $449.00
Total savings today-$150.00
Shipping Free
Estimated tax $21.68
Estimated total $320.68
Estimated trade-in value-$299.00
Total after trade-in $21.68

I have the Pixel 5a and love its rear fingerprint unlock. I do not like the in-screen fingerprint option and will not trade the 5a for whatever this has to offer
A few more trade values (with base RAM):

Pixel 5 $299
Pixel 4 $245
Pixel 4XL $235
Pixel 4a or 4a 5G $250
Pixel 3a $200
Pixel 3 $197
I haven't had any issues with my 6a. I came from the 3a. the finger print reader on the 6a takes just under half a second for me, and accuracy is good (although I enrolled the same thumb twice because my aim is bad when trying to hit the reader). the 3a was instant for finger print reads. but less than half a second delay doesn't bug me.

How long does it take to get the $100 Google store credit? I got my delivery Monday and still no email about the $100 Google store credit using the superfan codes.

Me too, no $100 credit. I think it takes many weeks, like 8-10 weeks, so no using it for holiday specials!

Here's line from google

Superfan code valid through 6/30/2023
Code giver and Code user will receive an email with the promotional code within 8-10 weeks after the end of the promotion.
Promotional code must be redeemed by September 30, 2023 or it will expire

I think that would between 7/30/2023-8/15/2023, we only get 1 and 1/2- 2 months to use the credit. DM me if you need a code

Wow!! 8-10 weeks AFTER the promo ends which is July of 2023. Great.

Now - I did speak to a google store CSR and he verified that my order did have the promo attached, and I would get the credit 4 weeks after the order was delivered. I guess he pulled a fast one on me.

Yes that is correct we need to wait 8 weeks for credit. I ordered a phone and got it apply to the order. 100$ credit is good. If anyone needs it dm.

Traded my 5a in for a 6a. Got the 6a and sent back the 5a, which was delivered to Google last Friday, according to USPS tracking ("delivered to an individual")... And yet, when I check the status of the trade-in on the Google Store website, it's still on "waiting to receive old phone"... Is this normal? How long do they take to assess the phone??

When I traded in Pixel 3a it took more than a month. I did open a support ticket with Google in any case and the reply kept saying they are looking into it, even though the tracking id clearly showed that the device was delivered and accepted.

Quote from SirJTW :
I am in a position where, personally, I don't think I have much of a choice. My pixel 5a is dead. We all know now that the 5a has motherboard issues so if Google does fix my pixel for free, I still don't want to use it because it may die again soon. I have an iPhone for work and I don't like it. Previously, I had a Samsung Galaxy and I didn't like that. I only like the Pixel to be honest. So even if Google decides not to fix my 5a and I have to pay the $300 + tax for the Pixel 6a, for me, that's the best option.

Sucks!
Update on my situation. I sent my broken, out of warranty, Pixel 5a to Google after they agreed to extend my warranty. I got an email from Google repair telling me that it's a charging issue and that's it's not covered by the warranty. I contacted CS and asked for an exception as I am a loyal Google customer (mentioned I owned several Nexus devices, chromecasts, and now 2 pixel devices). They agreed to refund me the repair price of $400 after I paid for it upfront. I did that. They fixed the 5a and mailed it back within 2 business days. Once I got the device back, I mailed it as my trade in for the 6a and let CS know that I wanted my refund for the repair. They refunded me the repair price within 2 business days. My 5a was received by Google 1 week ago and yesterday, they acknowledged acceptance and today they emailed me letting me know that I will be getting the $299 refund.

All in all, I will have just paid tax for the Pixel 6a, but spent many hours with CS. I know I'm very lucky that this all worked out in my favor.

Also, I got 2 $100 credits for pixel superfan referrals. Note that these are not actually credits, but coupons that reduces the FULL PRICE of an item by $100. Only 1 coupon per order and it does not stack with any other coupon or discount. For example, assume the Pixel 6a is $50 off and with a retail price of $450 (so $400). If you apply the coupon, it will knock it down to $350 ($100 referral coupon does not stack with the $50 off, so you only get the $100 off from the coupon).
