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 was wondering the same thing. Worse case if you miss the pre-order, you can catch the Pixel 8 on a Black Friday deal.
Expect similar sale closer to BF. Google is gonna feel the burn of jacking up the prices and lowering trade values.

They think they're the Apple of android lol

without asking (Begging/crying)for a receipt
Well that's not a nice thing to say, nor is it fair. No one's entitled to proof, and no one is obligated to share it. Hopefully no one was calling him a liar, but the facts were simple. There were numerous reports and evidence/proof to support it not being possible. Only a small few claiming it worked but no evidence/proof was provided until just last/night - today... few pages back. The missing piece was it having to be a different sku. I appreciate the community, more specifically anyone who was trying to help, and glad we now know it is indeed possible. Cheers

Google has this deal till the 16th. Did Best buy say that today was the last day for their deal? It is strange that they are not even trying to match Google's dates.

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...
Reporting back. Just replicated this deal at my local best buy. Took a little back and forth and looking up the system and all that. Remember to mention promo code google and says you are not worried about applying two coupon to one pre order transaction

Walked in with Walmart straight talk iPhone SE and pixel 7 pro

Walked out with pre-order receipt for pixel 8 pro and pixel watch 2.

Total out of pocket: 31 dollars and 9 cents

Picture for proof.

how long did the whole process take you at BB? Just went to the nearest BB and they refuse to enter promo code twice and said that only one promo code can be applied.

Got an inexperienced but eager associate. 45 min in total. AFAIK. She only entered promo code once. Mention keywords such as promotion coupon. If they find it their system has all the details. I see no reason for them to lie and refuse you the promotion

Just got off with BB chat and and after 20 minutes they couldn't even tell me when the promo ends. Something about they don't have that kind of information on pre-sale items.
I have a lot of Google credit, just didn't like the trade in value for P7. Think I'll wait for Black Friday and see if Google offers more on trade.
