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."

U can try with other android device for trade in along with iPhone device
Yes, but not only do I not have a spare pixel, I don't have any other spare android phones either.
I've traded in my se3 for a p8 and that's it for this year.

I hope to see more detailed posts like the one you wrote on sd, it's good for everyone.

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.
Did you have to activate the phone or just purchase and walk out?

You had 2 phones to trade-in in addition to your current phone? Just curious how people are trading in two phones and still have another phone to use.

Old mobile phones in good condition can be bought in the second-hand market.

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...
Thanks. Will this deal work with a locked iphone11. I'm asking because you mentioned unlocked in your post.

that's what I did! one pixel and one iPhone
Ahh gotcha, that's my bad then. I must of missed that part somewhere along in the thread as I assumed you were one of the folks saying they got 2 of the $300 bonuses ($600 total and not $500).

Good deal for those that have two phones or at least and Android one (and can get the SE from Walmart) to perform the trade-in store.
There are plenty of refurbs on ebay but the BB deal will expire in 2 days.

I checked 3 BB around me and all are saying earliest pick up/delivery date is 10-17. That was on the 8 and 8 pro trying multiple colors. Anyone else seeing the same? If thats the case would that mean you wouldn't be able to do a 2 phone trade in, since it doesn't allow it for online orders? Also I believe the free buds/watch ends on the 16th, at least for the Google store.

If you really believe it can be done with 2 trades and want to risk it. You can go to your local metro pcs store today, call ahead and see if they have any pixel 6a. Sign up for their plan and new number you get it for $50+40 plan so $90+ tax. It's an instant rebate so you can cancel before the second month. No contract.
That is your Hail Mary at trying 2 phones today lol SE walmart $150 metro 6a $90 get $460 SE and $300 6a.

Yes that should work...I got deal finally at 3rd BB but experience of rejection at 2 other BB helped me drive the deal at 3rd...and I put up all notes in my detailed post..with proof unlike many who did not send receipts....it is no risk its working ...just do it if u really can it will be cheapest. If u r trying with just 1 phone anyways u pay 250 put of pockt...so why not buy 100 phone and get 200 off so out of pocket reduce by 100 atleast
