Best Buy's page if you want to activate an unlocked device as part of the order says "We're currently only able to activate service on this unlocked device with Verizon, Google Fi Wireless and AT&T."

But that doesn't mean the phone isn't compatible with T-Mobile, it probably means they don't stock T-Mobile SIMs and service. Do you have a source that says this unlocked phone from Best Buy will not take a T-Mobile SIM?

Also, trade-in note at checkout if you're selecting store pickup is "Bring your trade-in device to the store when you pick up your new item."

Alright regardless of assuming elevated values for both - you can confirm that if you can bring 2 phones in, they take 2 phones for trade in same day, then on Oct 12 you pickup your Pixel, right?

Just traded in a Pixel 7 physically at Best Buy. It took them a while to figure out the discount business. The total trade in value was $450. $250 from Google and $200 was Best Buy gift card. The total came out to $286 for Pixel 8 (128 GB) and Pixel Bud Pro. Here is the math: $699-$250=$449 (tax on this amount was around $37), then subtract $200 Best Buy gift card. Final payment: $286.

I was able to pick up the Buds pro right then, received a message 15 mins later. I went into the store so I could physically trade in the phone, as opposed to mailing it, and also to make sure that all the discounts show up.
Did they hand you the Pixel Buds Pro right then and there? Does it show up on your purchase history? I just did the same thing but no mention of the buds.....

I was in the store browsing just random stuff, and then I got an email with a barcode saying that part of your order is ready for pickup. I just went to the check out area, showed them the barcode and they handed me the buds pro. It was probably around 15 mins after I had paid for the entire order.

The buds are already in stock and that is why they completed the order so quickly. The buds are listed in my order. Let me see if I can attach a photo of my receipt.

Here is the receipt. I hope they list the Pixel Bud Pro on your order and shows 0.00 for the cost.

I was also wondering this, because the Total by Verizon is a locked phone....but im assuming that doesnt matter to Best buy? Im going to swing by best buy tomorrow and talk to the people and see what they say. I have a pixel 7 as well and going to ask if i can stack trade ins....which would be 460 for SE and 450 for Pixel 7
Let me know if it works

Unfortunately no he completely forgot to add them and now I'm there trying to get it fixed. What a mess, it might screw up my trade in stuff completely.

That really sucks. I am sure they will fix it, because you can always return the phone and redo the deal as long as they give you your trade-in back.

Order got hosed, I have to do a "return/exchange" when I pick up the phone. Only then can they add the additional buds to the order. The trade-in funds are the 2x gift cards tied to the order so they assure me it would apply and balance out to zero. Lessen for everyone else, make sure it's on the order before you pay.

I know it sucks, but that is not too bad. You have to go to the store anyway for a pick up. The 12th is a weekday so it should be relatively light at the store.

But yes, it pays to be hawkish with the order. I am always paranoid with big box stores, because they can be careless with these deal.

Well i just went to Best Buy and spoke with the rep. He says
#1 You cant stack device trade ins (i was thinking of trading in pixel 7 and getting iphone SE and trading it in also
#2 He said when you buy the carrier locked phones from walmart (Like the IPhone SE) the phones are essentially "locked" for 60 days and you cant trade them in, etc.

Seems like kinda BS to me, but im not sure. Has anyone ever bought a "locked" phone from Walmart for trade in purposes only?
