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."

Quote from stu5797 :
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.
Would it be possible to do two iPhone SE trade-ins or do they have to be different like yours?

That's a great question! I would think they could be the exact same and it would work. Lots of people have family members with the exact same phone.
I would go in there thinking I was getting 460 for one and 160 gift card for the other. When the worker is processing the second trade in be nice and ask if the can please try and add the code "Google" in the promotion code section again. The might say no but try to be nice and ask them to please try to use the promo code and proceed because you will not mind if it doesn't work.. It will work... Good luck!

Worked like a charm for me. Got the phone from Wally world opened it in the parking lot and went in and got 460 off my pixel 8 pro order. I also got a 50 gift card for spending 500 or more and joining the best buy club (whatever it's called). The 50 gift card will offset the cost of the club and it's perfect timing for the holidays. Just need to remember not to auto renew.

1) Is this promotion limited to one $460 discount per person?

2) If so, could you do it twice at two different stores?

3) Could you do one online and one in-store?

Yes, people are trading in 2 phones to get the large discounts. You trade in your phones immediately at Best buy, get the credit, apply the gift cards, pay the balance and pick up everything on the 12th

I believe you have to sign 3 times. 1 for each phone and then the final purchase of the pixel

In the end, I got everything, but those ****ers at Best Buy tried their best to short me.

1. Did not apply the $300 trade-in credit until I asked.
2. Did not add the free Pixel Watch 2 until after I looked at my receipt and asked about it. They had to void the transaction and re-process with the promo.

"It's a bundle item and we don' t add it unless the customer asks."

The average customer going to Best Buy to pre-order without knowledge of the promotions, or people not paying attention, would be essentially robbed of $650+. I had no issue with the iPhone SE trade-in. Picked it up at Wal-Mart this morning, opened, stepped through the initial setup and skipped everything, easy.

Just tried the closest BestBuy and they told me, "It's online only". I asked them to look on their "Daily Promo Center", and they said that doesn't exist and they're not able to apply any codes for trade-ins. Gotta try another store... :-/

Is anyone else other than stu5797 able to trade in two phones, especially two iPhone SE, in a single transaction for one Pixel Pro 8?

Anyone now if BB will take an iphone XR with a shattered back cover as "Fair" condition? So shattered you can see inside the phone in a couple places. But, works fine and the front screen is also fine.
TIA.

So fun fact about them not including the free Buds/Watch... the system will automatically add it a few days later. I know this because the clerk forgot to add my buds, and I went back 20 mins later chat with CS about it. CS and manager said best resolution was for me to do a return/exchange on the 12th when I pickup the phone. I didn't like that but said whatever. Went back the next day because I felt uneasy about it and asked again if we could resolve it before my trade-in got shipped away and I'd be screwed. Manager swiped a GC and handed me a Buds Pro right then and there. 3 days later, I was checking out my order on the app and bam... the buds were magically there and ready for pickup. Just left BB 5 mins ago with my Buds Pro.
