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."

This may have been mentioned somewhere, but I've read through many pages of this thread and haven't seen it, apologies if it's redundant. Would I be able to trade in 2 phones for a higher value than the Pixel 8? The 2 phones I'm looking into trading in would be an iPhone SE 3rd ($460 trade in value) and a pixel 6a ($300 trade-in value) which come to $760 trade-in towards the $700 pixel 8 (non pro). Is this possible, and if so what would happen to the extra $60?

I believe your trade can't be higher than your purchase price.

Should say promo applied $0 under each phone. Then print out will have the coupons
I went to a store, BB rep started the trade-in process for iPhone 11 and he said its only showing $200 Best Buy Gift Card, even after entering the GOOGLE promo code. I checked the screen and it showed only $200. So you are saying that when they print the BB gift card, 300 Promo comes along with that if the promo code is applied properly. But we don't see it in the screen in which Rep is working on?

This is very YMMV. I've gone to 3 best buy stores now. In one the coupon was $0. In 2 others, they just refused to trade more than one phone. I tried to talk to other associates but even the managers refused to allow 2 phones for trade in.

Congrats to those who got in. But I'm not going to be trying anymore given the time invested with zero return. Going to wait till Black Friday and see in case these phones are discounted further.
i am confused, if the promotion value is 0 , will u get coupon eventually at the end?

Even if my order is not ready for pickup at my store, can I just go in and see if they're ready? It says pickup today just not ready yet.

The trade in values comes as a coupon and a gift card for each. The coupon is "enhanced value". The Iphone se is a $160 gift card and a $300 coupon. They process the coupons first and then apply the gift card to the remainder. It is an actual physical gift card, so any money left over will in the BB gift card.

Even for me the promo showed $0 but during the purchase process promo values stacked well and worked as expected

Tried it and still have a migraine. The BB employee was completely clueless. He printed up the coupon on the first promo but the printer ran out of paper so he only got the first page, without the barcode. Then he spent 10 minutes asking his colleagues where the printer paper is and going to the back office to get a stack. On the second trade in he had trouble and called his superior over who then said the promo couldnt be applied to a second phone, so I spent another 15 minutes waiting for them to unwind it all.

People complain about Amazon killing b&m retail but retail service this bad might deserve it.

I was just able to go in store today 10/12 and trade in 2 phones:
IPhone SE 3rd Generation
Pixel 4a

iPhone SE I got a $300 coupon
Pixel 4a I got a $200 coupon
IPhone SE $160 trade in value
Pixel 4a $45 trade in value

$300+$200+$160+$45= $705 in discounts
Purchase price of iPhone SE= 162.78
Final Total Paid for pixel 8 pro 256GB= $405.72($567 including price of iPhone purchased) + Free pixel watch 2.

I mentioned multiple times to use code GOOGLE and she mentioned she'd seen it but wasn't sure if it would let her stack. Luckily she was very helpful and got it done. Hopefully that helps someone.
Just coming back from Best Buy. They said the coupons won't stack and didn't try. So, i picked up pixel 8 trading in one phone only. I guess it might work with a very helpful employee. Hit or miss.
