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."

I just went to Best Buy and can confirm that the promo is limited to 1 per pre-order. The elevated values is also tried to a coupon like others on here have confirmed. The rest is with a gift card. The manager and the store rep pulled up something called "Daily Promo Center" (guessing their internal promo portal) as well as shared their POS screen with me as we walked through the order. I was also told that their standard ops procedures states that their corporate POS is the single source of truth, and It overrules anything online support or anyone else says.

In any case, anyone who says otherwise is spewing BS. It would also explain why not a single person here who claimed multiple elevated tradeins has been able to provide any proof that they had been able to get the elevated values for multiple devices.

Just did the store trade in. Total after everything is $274.71 on receipt. It's as everyone says. $160 is subtracted as a promo gift card from the coupon they scan. However, the coupon does reduce the taxes by $300*your tax*.

Given that I did what some of you did with the iPhone SE for $163.xx, this made the total $437.xx.

Given the 1.5% cash back on chase freedom unlimited, it could net additional $4.12 in savings. And buds pro sell off for another $100. Potentially net cost is $333.

If I did the online trade in, the total is $761.04
Cash back via chase freedom PayPal is 38.05. Additional 1% for cash back site, is 6.99. And $100 again for buds pro sell off, potential total is $(761.04+163)- (300-160-100-38.05-6.99)= $320.01.
Seems like for me, the online trade in would likely have been a better deal, only marginally though. Still... $13 diff.

I traded in , in store and had them ship it to my house. I didn't place any order online, did
Thanks. It does answer to a degree but my order is already in place and I am waiting for the delivery.

I can cancel the online order and instead go to the store, trade-in the phone, get the $530 coupon and then place the new order for home delivery. Question is, is that going to delay the delivery assuming there are enough pre-orders.

Edit: Tried to place a new order and now it shows Oct 18th as delivery/pick up date. I guess I would rather just mail the trade in or before that, just walk to a store and try to close the trade in there.

I also got 2 promo codes for a total of 500 off plus gift cards while trading in the iPhone se 3ed Gen and an s21 ultra. When the worker is taking your phone make sure they put "google" as the promo code for each phone. If they say they can only use one promo ask them to please try on the second phone as well.

Your math is wrong because you wont get credit card cashback on the refunded trade in part, but you will get sales tax refunded, So the your online total is around $303 ish, not sure exactly depends on your sales tax rate.

Hmmm. So 301 and 5% on chase. $7 on cash back site. $22 diff. $301+163 iPhone cost and -22 for cash back... so $444 -$100 buds pro.... 😲. Maybe I'm up then!

Damn these guys got it down to science. $13 is about the price of a chipotle meal. Not bad.

I actually love the fact that p8 has slightly smaller size(W×L),however the other parameter seems like the same. I can only see a better screen and SoC. It takes $250 to upgrade plus a free buds pro. I would definitely rush into if around &100 w/ buds

Long-time Nexus and Pixel owner. Paid $48 last year for a 7 by trading in a 6. Not touching these this year.

Any guesses as to what black friday will look like this year? Last year they were giving trade-ins so high you could get a free 6a, and I think the 7 was ultra cheap as well.
