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."

Doing the trade-in with my own mint condition 13PM in Rego Park, NY. All went well except the printout says trade-in value is $580 but the guys at the counter say I'll get an email with the correct trade-in value.

There was a guy next to me doing Straight Talk iPhone SE trade-in and they refused him saying if the phone is locked it means the carrier still owns it. Not sure if he is a SDer but I'd figure yes. Anyone faced the same issue?
I gave walmart st iphone se3 - opened pack in front of them and no issues

Deal over. Enhanced trade ins are no longer pulling up.
I believe it's still on.
I have just placed an order for Pixel 8 trading in my Pixel 7 for $450.
Not much the difference between the 2, but my hunger/ambiguous humanity inside me made me do it. LMAO

Example shows $160 for iphone SE during the trade in, but as noted, you see $460 value in the cart, so while they can change the trade in value or remove the bonus for any of the listed phones at any time, the deal appears to be valid still.

anyone near Santana Row Best Buy in Santa Clara, CA, avoid. So damn clueless between the three people in the phone department. Waste of time.
Go to Milpitas bestbuy. The process only costs about 30 minutes (10 minutes because my trade in phone running out battery. LoL) and flawless. The manage admitted he knows the trick and allow crew members to try it unless system doesn't allow to do it.

Man I am exhausted.

But grateful that I got 2 phones to stack.

I went to 3 Best Buys in the Lost Angeles area and the 4th was a HIT.

The first 3 I went to basically printed out the coupon and said "see it says USE ONCE at the top so you can't stack."

I told them that meant "use coupon once, not only use 1 per phone." But they didn't want to budge and I didn't want to piss and moan any longer.

Finally went into the 4th, explained to them that I wanted to buy a Pixel 8 (I was even willing to get it shipped to me since they didn't have a 256GB Pixel 8 in stock--which is what I ended up doing).

I told them that I wanted to stack 2 phones and and get in on the promotion to apply to the cost of the Pixel 8. The manager on the floor knew what I meant and was super kind. He said "lets see if its possible, I'm not sure, but if we can save you money, then why not, right?"

Tremendous guy, people like him are few and far between.

If done correctly, they will give you the trade in value and the gift cards for the 2 devices that you're turning in first. And then apply them both to your Pixel 8 phone. Ring in the 2 coupons, and then subtract from the price of the Pixel with the gift cards.

Pixel 8 256GB $759
- $460 (iPhone SE 3rd Gen)
- $450 (Pixel 7)
_______

Total FREE Phone +$130 on a gift card

Oh and I almost forgot, also got the Pixel Buds! laugh out loud

All in all, I couldn't be happier. I wish I could tag all the people in here that helped make this happen. Obviously, thanks to the OP.

This is easily the best Slickdeals that I've gotten TO DATE.

Have a great night everyone, hope it works out for all of you!

PS. If you are in the Los Angeles area:

Frown Pasadena Store on Foothill Blvd
Frown West Covina on Plaza Dr.
Frown Downey Store on Lakewood Blvd.
Cool Montebello Store on Via Campo
