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."

Smaller is BETTER. I'd pay another $100 for a 5" screen, honestly. Phablets are a thing of the past.

Just sold my Pixel 7 Locally for $360. So glad to be done with that phone. Now I'm using my old Pixel 1st Gen I use as my unlimited Google photos uploader haha. I have the SE ready to trade. And $300 in old BestBuy gift cards. And an old crappy Samsung Galaxy watch active BestBuy will give me $16.50 for haha. Thursday can't come soon enough!

In my case, the Android was 200 (2) and the iPhone was 300 (3)

Thanks for this details, atlesst u gave something and I tried at 3rd best buy and it worked. DETAILED POST to follow. I will describe entire steps and receipt. 2 phone with promo trade in working 😀

Quote from AceHunter :
Curious, did you trade in 2 phones of the same type? Like 2 iPhones or 2 Androids? I've been doing some digging and it looks like the iPhones ring up as "Promo Bundle 2" whereas the Androids are "Promo Bundle 3". The iPhones get a $300 promo credit whereas the Androids only get $200. So it could potentially be possible the 2 coupons do ring up separately. When I went there, I tried it with 2 different iPhones for a combined uplift of $600. I can confirm that is impossible due to POS, but $500 might be if you had 1 iPhone and 1 Android.

Quote from Sapdublinbpdj :
So sm3765 and ashby37 two phones trade in for one phone not working...I did end to end activity with bestbuy manager ...I traded in 2 devices and got 2 gift cards as well as two coupon...and when they applied coupon on pixel 8pro pre-order only one applied and other one voided as u cannot apply 2 coupon.

I had to reverse entire trade in and got my devices back as one coupon worth 250 did not apply.....ppl pls dont waste time as even if they got this ( which we dont believe) it may be something different or mistake as attached image shows that 2nd coupon voided

Hi, I ordered the Simple Mobile iphone SE from Walmart, and selected T-mobile as the carrier on the p8 trade in. Do you think I will have issue when trading in at store? Also does Walmart allow me to return the iphone SE within 14 days if I open the box?

Thanks

But online you get taxed on full amount, in store you get taxed after the trade in credit
That's wrong.
The taxation depends on your state.
It will be treated the same way online or in store.
If your state doesn't charge tax on these rebates, you would get rebate plus tax as refund.

Alright, here are the rules

1. This can only be done in store

2. 2 trades, both with promo values on one Pixel purchase is possible.

3. You can NOT have same promo getting repeated in the transaction. (Meaning, can't have 2 iPhones, 2 pixels etc). But one iPhone+one pixel is fine to get both promo values.

4. Excess value will remain on your gift card. Example, if you traded iPhone 14 for $770 and pixel 7 pro for $550 and got pixel 8 pro 256 GB for 1060 plus taxes, you will have some change left on gift card.

Don't ask any evidence, I'm not here to prove anyone right or wrong. This is just to help the community.
I'm not interested in online banter as well.

Good luck with your purchase !

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Sapdublinbpdj

Here is detailed steps for 2 phone at promo trade- Its Possible as provided by BB employee. Thanks to him for sharing entire process step by step.

1. Get 2 phone for trade in ( has to be different - i.e one iPhone and other Android) reason being both trade in generates different sku based on different phone and that is key. If u trade same platform phone twice sku are same and it will not work as only one coupon of same sku works.

2. First get both trade ins done ( 2 times you need to sign) make sure each trade in gives you bb gift card and single use coupon -total of coupon and gift card should ne equal to trade in value u see online.

3. When entering tradein if they say u will get just 200 or 300 ask them to apply promo code google that's the trick

4. Only select unlocked phone colour black ( e.g for blue their is restriction that u need verizon and if u take verizon thank watch promo not apply)

5. Make sure to get watch added in same order ( as unlike online watch doesn't get added automatically?- dont be fooled by bb employee tell
specifically to add watch)

6. Watch color only black make sure also its wifi else it will mess up entire order.


7. After seeing all good then only pay for remaining.

8. Coupon values - of both phones reduces price before tax so effectively u pay tax on net amount apart from gift cards.


In my example I traded p7 and ip11 and got 200 × 2 gift cards and 250 coupon for p7 and 300 coupons for ip11..so net transaction 999- 250-300 = 449+ tax on 449 is net amount - 200-200 gift card = so 49+tax on 449 is the payment amount.

Watch should show 349- 349 = 0.

Attached are snips of receipts which are important to check

FYI - BBs have already received all stock items in store but they will only sell and provide pickup after 12.

Please try tomorrow and day after as it will be last days of preorder.

Make most of deal - any questions welcome...

Can you trade in when you pickup the order or should be done while placing it?
