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."

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...
appreciate ur effort and detail. I will try it in store tomorrow, hopefully the GOOGLE Coupon is still working.!

I would double check the pixel 4a gets the elevated tradeins values. Not all pixels get the uplift.

But to answer your question, yes, all in store and nothing online. I was told it expires today, but I can't confirm if that's true or not as I did my trade in a few days ago.
What's considered an elevated trade in value? 6a seems to trade in for $300... Is this an uplift?

To take advantage of this dual trade in offer, what non-Iphone can I buy to make most out of it. I'm planning to trade in my Iphone 12 Pro.

Tensor has gained a bit of a reputation for being prone to overheating, and I did see the Pixel 8 Pro refuse to capture video at its highest resolution because the device was too hot. This was on a very warm day after quite a bit of constant use in direct sunlight before I fired up video mode, but still something to be aware of if you live in a hot climate

man, same issue as pixel 3a even after 5 years that too on flagship phone. this overheating has troubled me everytime we are vacationing in the summer. slap on a case and it will become even more hot.

Thank you so much for the clear description! I was able to get my local Best Buy to follow this process and I traded in my iPhone SE 3rd gen for $460 ($300 coupon) and my Pixel 6 Pro for $355 ($200 coupon) for a total of $815 in credit! I got the $1059 Pixel 8 Pro 256GB and the Pixel Watch 2 for just $254 out of pocket, and it'll be shipped to my door next week. Looking forward to it!

Oh I forgot to mention - I used a straight-talk/tracfone SE 3rd gen which was still network locked - no problems, no questions asked.

I bought a pixel 6 pro for $260 and got $355 for it. I think I'd look for a Pixel 6a for cheap to get $300 back. I didn't look at all the options or current resale values though.

So after cogs and all that work you paid at least $660 for 1000$ phone.

I just don't see the deal here its simply not a good offer Google is putting out this year

Not sure what to tell you, but I would think that the associate was missing something as the promotional value should still come up for at least one device.

As of this morning the trade in values are still the same and the offer is still the same. Maybe there is still hope for some of those who missed out yesterday.

Jfc, I hate my 6a because of that overheating. It rebooted itself during my video and I missed my moment. Been using a Samsung since I don't trust the 6a anymore. 6a has an excellent camera but what's the point if it overheats when I need it the most. Guess I am not getting the pix8 now...and I have a bunch of phones for trade in.
