That's why OP mentioned doing it at the store since they can process the trade in and give the left over as GC.

Straight talk is a verizon prepaid and the phones are the Verizon model. I used that without issue.

I can't believe how smoothly this deal went. I drove 18 minutes to a Walmart in my city, bought the straight talk iphone 11 for $220 post-tax, drove another 10 mins to best buy, and they handed me a pixel 7 and a gift card.

Don't think these are bad phones at all. This is just Google's aggressive push vs iPhone. Shift in strategy. Pick up their recent management presentations from their IR site as well as research reports and you'll understand.

Resales are only down because of these deals. Once these deals end resale will creep back up. And by the way resale of new phone on Swappa is still 400+ besides all these deals.
Fwiw I'm still getting interest at $400 resale locally (sealed, new). $425 is where the interest starts to dry up and while I used to price about $50 below the closest reseller (note I don't usually resell but this deal was too good to pass up) quite a few have realized what's up and have lowered into the $400 range.

No one is below $400 yet, sealed and new anyway.

During the lull in which trade-ins at BB stopped, I was getting more interest at $425, I expect the $425-450 range locally will keep interest once BF is over if the price doesn't stick to $499...but I think it might.

If done correctly, you are taxed on a value lower than the full price of the phone due to the trade, SO you actually shouldn't have to pay anything and you get BB GC with the overage. If they do it another way, you might have to pay and then it gets refunded to you quickly. I base that later info on what users have said in another thread. I didn't have to give BB anything but a phone number for BB account and my driver's license (fraud prevention).

I could have done more such as get a discounted Walmart GC and bought with that or if I had started the process a couple of days ago, could have done something maybe with CB, but I just kind of wanted the simple route after failing to get them from the Metro PCS deal. They wouldn't sell them for $50+plan costs because I was trying Google Voice numbers as my transfer numbers. Didn't really want to go that way or even enter their store, but it is a pretty large savings for those that get lucky on stock/number porting/activation waved/etc.
Did you have issues porting Google Voice number to Metro? A lot of folks said that they were able to do that and get the iPhone Metro deal.

Does Metro prohibit porting Google Voice numbers for their promotions?

Quote from downwithcville :
While the 7 has issues I think a bigger reason for returns is people moving from Apple to Android. Google has been pushing these hard and a lot of people can't pass up a good deal for what they consider a top of the line phone. But when it comes down to brass tacks Android is not as user friendly as iOS.
My in-laws upgraded from 4 year old Moto G's to this 7. The gestures, and sheer flexibility of the 7 is night and day over a basic Moto. For older folks who don't like change, that may be a reason. We helped them navigate, set up new apps, and watch YouTube videos. The 7 is an awesome phone, but it was also a bit of a learning curve. They'll get it. It's also a heavy phone with a good case. The OS is a lot like Nova Launcher where you can adjust the app drawer layout and size. The camera is powerful and 4k videos take up a lot of space. So keep in mind you will fill up your phone and Google photos quickly if you don't manage them. Cloud storage isn't unlimited with Google or iPhone.

Best Buy has these Google Pixel 7 phones open box starting at $398, that's how bad these new Pixels are.

Resale on a Pixel 7 is only $375 at the moment, and only going down.
Thats why its better to trade in a locked xr and use the new 7 as a future trade in.

I bought the iphone 11 online at Walmart and had it delivered. Was going to trade it today but I just looked IMEI checker and am wondering if Walmart screwed up by not scanning it or something before delivering. This is what it lists:

Loaner Device: No
Replaced Device: No
Valid Purchase Date: No
Activation Status: Not Activated
Registration Status: Not Registered


Is that how it shows up for everyone? Or do you think they screwed up before delivering it to me?

Why not pixel 7 pro TMobile instead? In other thread, someone mentioned there is T-Mobile $150 activation discount as well?

Can I trade in an MDM bypassed device?
No, MDM bypass only works if not reset, for trade in you/they will reset the phone at which point the MDM will pop back, it's pretty same as iCloud account on at this point.

The purchase details don't show up until device is activated and yes you should be fine as long as there no payments/balance still attached to it.
Activation means attaching it to plan/line not while it's being checked out from the store.

Is there a way to get this to work for BB if there are no pixel 7s in stock anywhere locally?

If anyone buying iPhone 11 at Walmart then maximize the deal with Cash back on Walmart purchase.

Pixel is coming up $499 for me and the trade is $525 so it fails:

Your estimated trade-in value
$525
Heads up! We're not able to continue with this trade-in because it has a higher value than the one you're buying. Please choose a different device to trade in or buy.

edit: That, and resale on that thing is terrible, ~$375 max
With all the current promotions deals and loopholes of course resale isn't the best these deals aren't secrets pixels have never had the best resale value that always goes to iphone followed by galaxy
