Quote from fernandoc5426 :
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.
I've been using a 7 since release and the only point you made that I agree with is the phone is slippery, as are most phones without a case. I've had no issues with the camera app or any other apps for that matter.

If you return the pixel 7 to Best buy do you get $499 back as a gift card?

Quote from Matthew-Deals-Hunter :
You can swipe to the left to go back it has been there since ios 8
It is not a true go back, and it is not as logic as Android. In android, you can sweep either side to go back, but ios is only on the left side. Android is 100 times better than ios in gesture operation.

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.
People are getting them for free to 39 to $120 to $200. Why would you expect the resale value to be higher?

Quote from JasonW8093 :
Oh not sure if it's only online. But you can order online with the swap for in-store pick up. Because the XR is only 460 you should have no problem with this one
It's not you just need to find an associate that will trade your phone in for a gift card and the $350 coupon from Google, then use the 2 credits to buy the pixel 7 or pro as you choose. This is necessary to do in store of your phone plus coupon is worth more than the one you are buying. I picked up an iPhone 11 at Metrobytmobile for $120 and left
best buy with a pixel 7 and a $12 gift card (taxes will very from state to state).

the knowledge of the associates varies. the one who sold me mine did those exact steps with help.

trade in value = gift card
generate a coupon for $350
ring up phone and apply both.

it confused her at first because she didn't know the $350 promo was tagged as a couple in the system.

So we really don't need to activate the prepaid iPhones from Walmart or buy any first month plan? It's that straight?

Sorry I haven't read the thread yet.
I dont think you do. I was watching bestbuy person's screen and he entered wiped out phone through some steps by selecting Bestbuy wifi and then went to settings for IMEI/Serial to enter in the screen.

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.
Yeah says the people who don't want to take 10 mins to read a instruction manual for a deceive they'll use for roughy 2,000 hours. It's like spend a couple mins learning how to use a widows device and have 10x the capability. To me this is kind of like when people spend 1000s of hours working to buy a car and don't take 15minutes to read the instruction Manuel then blow their engine from not doing the maintenance recommend in the Manuel

Excellent question. Can't find answer on official site, maybe if I ordered. Forum post from what seems to be year ago, dude mentioned bottom of receipt said: "In case of a return of your new mobile phone(s), we'll refund the value of your trade-in phone(s) on a Best Buy gift card. Trade-in promotion is forfeited. Returns Policy applies. Trade in devices cannot be returned once your transaction is complete"

From that, I'm understanding that you'd get $175 from iPhone 11 refunded and $350 promo trade-in credit would just disappear. Apparently forum dude even had hard time getting initial phone value refunded definitely nothing on promo credit refunded.

Also note the BestBuy promotion ends TOMORROW (28th Nov). If you want to take advantage of this deal, you will HAVE to do it by tomorrow in store. If you can't, perhaps a higher tier Pixel 7 (256GB) or Pixel 7 Pro is what you should opt for.

Quote from AmusedPanther530 :
no. I meant why didn't you just do the order online right in front of their faces, choosing pickup option for that exact store?
because they will lie.

I've had this problem with the past where when these deals come around the online store will say they have nothing in stock but you go to the store and there the item is.

Fundamentally, if the store doesn't want to honor the deal you can't make them. They will say they can't ring it up, or they will is as OOS when it is in stock etc. And the reason why they do that is often because the store employees want to get the deal for their friends and families, not you.

To me, these deals are just not worth the hassle any more. They are great deals, if you can make it swing, but making it swing is risky. It is not worth the risk IMO. Obviously others think it is.

cuz BestBuy charged the prev buyer(s) $45 apiece restocking, so they've recouped their profit. if also indicates initial sales were brisk otherwise they wouldn't have any to sell "open box"
