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."

Ok guys or slickdealers. Here ya go:

Go to Wmt get any iPhone SE3 $149 price point (St, wmfm, total) also grab a pixel 6a for $199 from either of the same companies). Take sim outta pixel before going to BB. Go to BB tell them you want to trade 2 phones towards new Pixel. Tell them both trade ins are Verizon phones. Both phones will come up on their screen they have to make sure the Google promotion is applied under each one. The extra coupon $ will not show on screen, just the gift card $. Once they process they print out should have both coupons (from iPhone and other from Android). They will go to other register grab the color you want (black in store in stock) or bay blue shipping only or the other ugly color is shipping only I think. At this point tell them to add the pixel watch 2 WiFi only black to transaction will show $0 (I think watch is shipping only no instore stock). Now they can scan the barcodes from the print out and apply to order, then they will scan gift card balance. Wala! Give me some rep. I'm not sure if today is the last day but I did it this morning twice one black instore and one bay blue for shipping both with watches shipping.

When all set and done you've overall experience shoulda been a ~$500 transaction for a ~$1000 brand new unlocked phone transaction

You can the same with lower end model for cheaper $, those you can only add buds for $0
How can you confirm is promo applied then

I went to the store right now and did the trade in. The coupons even printed out.
However when he was scanning the coupons, they didn't apply to reduce the phone total.
The associate told me it was because the promotion was for Preorder only. He even called the specialist team and they confirmed the promotion was only online now and the store promo expired yesterday.

Could you please confirm whether you did your trade in today on 10/12?

I am planning on going to BB this afternoon to trade in Straightalk iPhone SE 2022 and my Pixel 6 Pro for a 8pro and watch. I am very nervous though because I don't have a good track record of reproducing Slickdeals deals there. I printed out the instructions. Wish me luck.
Good luck... Just don't show the printed instructions to best buy associate. That will kill the deal for sure.

I'm wondering why the deal didn't work for me. I did get coupon for the phone. However when he scanned the Pixel 8 Pro, the watch wasn't free with it and it was also NOT taking the trade in coupon. The coupon was scanning at $0.

And then since they had already processed the trade ins, they had to cancel the trade in manually. I don't even know if I can trade in the same phones at any other bestbuy.
