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."

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?
So you told them you will buy from walmart and trade it in? If it is true, this bb store is dead for folks.

Also, folks you can buy the Pixel 8 case and screen protector from Google and use the $10 sign up discount for each separate order. I used to temp mail service to get two separate $10 discount codes and placed two separate orders for the case and screen protector.

1 is likely true. 2 is false. Either way you asked too many direct questions. Worker sensed you would be trouble and said no to protect their ass

Let me know if it works
There are several other SD threads for the BB trade in deal on new Pixels, lots of confirmation that these qualify (they did last year as well).

Dang, Best Buy used to only charge tax on the difference in price if I did pick up. Seems fixed now and it's charging tax on full price.

Quote from RelaxedMeerkat3904 :
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 you do the pre order on the website or just walk in with your device?

the gift card is $160 and remaining 300 is discount from Google for this deal. There is no GIFT CARD of 300. PERIOD.

Correct, but if you bring in multiple devices, you dont get the 300 discount twice, is what im getting at. Best buy dude said i could get the $160 dollar gift card for the additional device, but not stack the 450 + 460

Others have reported they had no issues trading in carrier locked iphones so store reps may be giving inconsistent answers depending on how knowledgeable they are. Reps aren't always trained right.
