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.

I would recommend avoiding the 7 and 7 Pro if your only plan is to flip them for profit. I did a bunch of XR's for 7's and they are difficult to resell, I'm stuck with a bunch of them. I'm getting offers of 250-300.

If anyone buying iPhone 11 at Walmart then maximize the deal with $20 or $60 Cashback on Walmart purchase.
Which one has $60?

Quote from AlexS2465 :
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.

I guess I'm just concerned because someone said the Walmart register shows "activated" just by purchasing it, if they do it correctly. And I couldn't see if that occurred because I had it delivered. And now the imei checker is comes up as Not Activated (and no purchase date either). So I'm just concerned they didn't scan correctly before delivering, and if that occurred maybe it appears like it's a stolen phone or something when trading it in. But you think mine is ok to trade in, even with the imei checker details I posted above?

Is there a way to get this to work for BB if there are no pixel 7s in stock anywhere locally?
Ship to house and don't open it. Go to the cell counter and they'll process as a refund and you can repurchase on the spot with trade in. I did this for my S22 last month at BB

Quote from actorps1 :
I could have ordered online and select "store pickup", but it wasn't offering same day. Likely because not just any employee can sell the phone. In fact, my closest Walmart put some rule in place where those in black shirts are the only ones that could sell them and use a different register. Based on going to several stores, I don't think this is wide spread. I had no issues with stores in stock ringing one up using regular register where phones are kept. They have the Straight Talk sim attached, but didn't bother with it. Powered up the phone, went through all the prompts and only entered my home network password and nothing else personal. There might be an easier way, but I wanted to have the s/n, phone info screen ready to go. I got to BB 10 min before close because I had to go to a further store for stock. The advantage of doing it that way, you can see "activated" on the register screen. Any other way, there is that chance that they could mail or allow a pickup of a phone that wasn't activated. That would not work out well for you if that happens I am guessing because the BB system will not like the phone info.. i.e. stolen/not activated/whatever.
Do you have to open up the box and insert the sim to the phone to activate?

Go to the Walmart ask for a straight talk iPhone 11. Pay $199 walk out of the store. Open your iphone do not activate drive to Best Buy and exchange it. When you do the exchange they just want the phone to be factory reset. Out of the box it's the way they want it.

I tried to do an online pickup for the iPhone and the first store ran out before they pulled it. Also make sure Best Buy has the phone in stock. These deals have been popular and the stock level at my local stores have dwindled a bit.
Thanks. So you don't have to insert the sim card to get it activated right? Just turn on the phone is fine

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.
This is a really nice phone actually. And this coming from an iPhone user. I was pleasantly surprised by the features on this phone. I recently had to upgrade my iPhone and lost tons of valuable pictures because apple makes it incredibly hard to transfer pictures unless you do it during the initial set up process or unless you do it via iCloud. So done with Apples BS extortion tactics

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.
Really don't know how the open box price and resale have anything to do with how good a phone is. Kind of an unnecessary comment.

The iPhone 11 purchased at Walmart should activate it at the Walmart cell counter And take it to BB to trade in ? Or I could take it to BB without activating ? Through some light , never did this before.

Walmart managed to cancel both of my orders for pickup (picked 2 different stores just in case). Good luck all to others
