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.

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."

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!
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:
give this holy person an SD medal.
I have a Walmart Mobile iPhone SE and a Pixel 6a to trade-in. I feel so dumb that I sold my Pixel 7 for 330 on swappa before these new models were released.
If any has any success at other stores in the Bay Area, please reply to this message. Tracy Best Buy is the closest but there are several others in the area.

Pixel 8 128GB + Pixel Buds Pro +$48.06 BB extra balance gift card was my result.
Math:
$699 (Pixel 8) + $199.99 (Pixel Buds Pro, Black) + $159.43 (buy Straight Talk iPhone SE3 at Walmart) - $199.99 (Pixel Buds Promo) - $300 (iPhone SE promo coupon) - $200 (Pixel 6a promo coupon) - $211.94 in gift cards from trade ins
= $159.43 out of pocket - $48.06 BB balance (not quite cash, but close enough to put towards the next BB deal) - $5.58 CC rewards -> $111.37 net cash cost + spare pixel 6a from last year's deal.
Took me 1:20 from entering Wal-Mart to exit of Best Buy, including a 20 minute drive in-between and a 20 minute wait at BB to get helped. Friendly BB rep had not stacked two trade ins on this deal before, but was happy to try and got the google promo entered twice successfully. As previous commenters noted, each trade got a coupon for the promotion balance + gift card for the normal trade in phone's value.
Not quite as good as last year's pixel 6->7 deal, but not bad at all. I may go back and do this again, or maybe the Pixel 8 Pro + Watch if my wife decides to give up her Pixel 7 for the Pixel 8 before this is dead. The sign in the store said through 10/16, and the rep indicated the bonus page was marked as being through the 16th. I've done many of these Pixel trade-in deals before with the Google store over the years (including the prepaid iPhone trade concept), but my first time Pixel deal at BB. Worth the extra effort for the double trade-in bonuses/higher values than Google, but it was definitely more effort and needed a good, patient rep willing to take the time to do the double promotion/coupons. Thanks to all with the tips on getting this done!
So i got 460 for phone 1 and 300 for phone 2. The total came out to 336 with tax that I killed with some of my own BB gift cards from credit card reward points. Adding the 159 (-5% CB) cost for the Iphone, I paid 487 for the 256GB 8pro and the watch 2 which will be flipped and I still have my 6pro as a backup.
Thanks so much Sapdublinbpdj, OP and everyone who shared their experiences at the store.
Btw, you don't have to choose black for the phone. When I was asked what color watch I want I said it has to be black for the deal to work but maybe I should have had him test that. Oh well.
