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.
You can do the tradeins again, i had a similar issue occur.

Did he add the correct watch? Only black wifi works.

So you had the tradein value for your phone, along with the coupon, but the coupon amount was 0. Which phone were you trading in?

He was trading in the black wifi watch I think.
No - the coupons actually printed out fine for both phones.
But when he scanned Pixel 8 Pro - it didn't take off the watch amount. And it also didn't take off the coupon value from the total.
So the $200 coupon which printed and said $200 -- scanned in as $0.
He even called the specialist team and apparently they said it was online only.
And then since I refused the transaction, they took almost an hour trying to figure out how to cancel the trade ins.
Just poor customer service overall from Best Buy.

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
I think your numbers are off… it was $1059 phone and $350 watch = $1409 retail value, $1,165 off retail with trade-ins. I already had both the iPhone SE (wife's old phone) and the Pixel 6 pro in hand (my current phone) - I didn't go buy them for this deal, and I would not have been able to resell either of them for anything close to what I got on trade-in. I am still using my Apple Watch tied to another old iPhone because it doesn't work with Android. So I actually needed the pixel watch 2, and I already got decent use out of the iPhone SE and a little use out of the 6 pro. In my case I was trading two things I already owned and no longer needed for 2 things I wanted/needed, and $244 out of pocket feels like an amazing deal. This is the first time in my life I've bought a flagship phone on day 1.

It's strange why so many ppl have same question...I went to 3 bb and all had different reactions- I went with phones in original packaging - one best buy said u need to give box and cables which I resisted and they agreed - 2nd best buy asked normal question even when they saw I took new phone with box - 3rd best buy didn't care not even ask anything basic simply took phone check imie did process...even when I tried to talk its locked and carrier they said they have done this 100s of time pls dont explain......so crux is no need to smudge new phone, no need to throw package, no need to remove sim( when they agree trade in we can remove sim) and finally if still trade in fails u can reverse trade in as well enjoy.....

The IMEI can be checked at the HELLO screen by tapping on the small "i" at the bottom right corner. It will bring up a submenu for info.

So fun fact about them not including the free Buds/Watch... the system will automatically add it a few days later. I know this because the clerk forgot to add my buds, and I went back 20 mins later chat with CS about it. CS and manager said best resolution was for me to do a return/exchange on the 12th when I pickup the phone. I didn't like that but said whatever. Went back the next day because I felt uneasy about it and asked again if we could resolve it before my trade-in got shipped away and I'd be screwed. Manager swiped a GC and handed me a Buds Pro right then and there. 3 days later, I was checking out my order on the app and bam... the buds were magically there and ready for pickup. Just left BB 5 mins ago with my Buds Pro.
*Update* I ended up getting 4x Buds Pros in total off this one order. Something got glitchy on the backend because after I picked up this 2nd pair (first one from manager was not tied to the order technically) the system never registered it as being picked up. Still showed Ready for Pickup again next day, and I got my 3rd pair. And I know for a fact the employee was doing things right on their end. Well today picking up the phone, it still shows Ready for Pickup on the buds, and they handed me my phone and the buds. This time the whole order shows as picked up finally. My theory is when the buds automatically got added onto the order a day or two later something got glitched and it never fully associated the buds to/with the phone. And since the phone was still in a pending/preorder/preparing status, I could just keep doing curbside pickup for free Buds indefinitely. The app generated a new code each time (2x times total) and only when the phone was 'ready for pickup' did that option go away from the buds. That must have fixed it. Fun times, probably impossible to reproduce.

Worked for me also. 2x transaction of p7 and se3 for 128gb p8p+watch for about 124 each after tax otd. Watch will ship to home. Had to be black watch, another color rang up full price. No issues at all with coupons and they showed full value on screen. Thought I was sunk when associate pulled manager over to ask if allowed, but manager had no concerns.
