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.

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.
I heard the same about the Pixel 6 line which is known to have issues. This cant be worse.

Best Buy shows only main carriers as trade in options. What should I choose with straight talk phone?
As an android user who would love to try iOS, I can tell you just the lack of back button makes iOS experience incredibly difficult and frustrating for me and prohibits me from switching.

You forgot to mention the open box price you mentioned of $398 is for a phone in Fair condition. An open box one in excellent condition is $440. Of course the used prices are lower now because of all the deals going on.

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.
I tried to add $30 BestBuy gc and order Pixel 7 128GB but it still would complain that the trade in was higher $ than the device. So, I ended up ordering 256GB yesterday. How did you make the tradein overage apply to BestBuy gc?

UPD:

NVM, you did it in store. My black friday sleep deprivation caught up with me.

So... Been reading the comments and we'll, DO I SOUND CRAZY? After reading the comments, it is as though the Apple defense force is here trying to make it seem like the Pixel 7 is bad.
I've read articles praising the Pixel 7. Samsung did this for market penetration purposes for a number of years-- are these guys just hardcore Apple fanboy's, joining a pixel 7 thread and trying to talk people out of trading in an Apple phone or are they actual shills?

I was able to do this.

https://slickdeals.net/f/16195612-best-buy-trade-in-offer-128gb-google-pixel-7-unlocked-smartphone-39-after-apple-iphone-xr-device-trade-in-free-curbside-pickup?p=159274294#post159274294

For those interested, I traded in iPhone 11 Good condition for profit of $17 and change.

Online it wont let you do that because trade in value exceeds, thus what I did was I picked Fair value for phone condition instead of Good.
Then went in store, asked them to reevaluate the value and they confirmed its Good condition, however it wont let agent to proceed further because phone value exceeded with bonus trade in offer of $350. So they did a workaround:

First traded in iPhone 11 for $175 as Good condition, then issued me a Gift card worth that amount. After which they tried to buy Pixel 7 phone and put in trade in Bonus to knock off $350 from $499.99 leaving balance of $150 and then paid that balance using the gift card issued to me.

There's little bit of Tax issue as I would loose Tax for $175 trade in value but I did not care about it, as long as it paid for itself. Let me know if anyone needs more clarity.

It's cute that you think Best Buy determines sales price based on some kind of arbitrary quality assessment of a product. Resell value is not always reflective of a product's quality but marketing saturation. Google has been pushing Pixel 7 hard to spread it, offering all sorts of deals either directly or through carriers. Naturally, when there are so many ways to get this phone cheap, people are not gonna pay much to get it used or resold. In addition, many resellers who got this phone cheap through promos are hurting thems
elves by becoming their own competitors against one another, which forces their hands to lower resell prices.

I trade my mini 12 on release day. I wouldn't recommend. I loved my pixel 3 when I was using went to apple and now back. The 7 has many bugs (my camera besides being slow has black lines that slows the shooting experience even more, the apps that I need are worst here and clunky). The 7 weight feels very unbalanced and uncomfortable. Super slippery. I could go on but the pixel 7 doesn't feel great as the pixel 3 felt at time and I would say the initial price was insane for what you get.

Any issues trading in a prepaid plan iPhone 11 from Straight Talk ? I have ordered one at Walmart waiting for pickup then planning to walk-in bestbuy store.
