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."

Quote from tecnition :
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
Great...ur effort paid off...I was in same situation when I went to 3rd bb where I got success...and hence created post with details to help others avoid that pain....u r a winner man did not give up....congratulations

Lucky, I went around noon to Milpitas best buy and they said I could only use one promo per phone purchase. Do you remember the name of the person that helped you?
I don't pay attention to. The one served me was a blonde white young man. He said exactly same thing as you were told. Then the manager, an Asia guy, walked through and told me he knows what I want to do. The process was exactly what in the original post. no issue at all. He told me google told them it is not allowed. But their system just let it go. So he doesn't really care.

If anyone is in the SF Bay area and wants to do this deal, I have a iphone se3 I would sell to you at cost($135). Was going to do this deal but changed my mind and dont want to deal with restocking fees at the store. PM me if interested.
I could have got it from you instead if I saw your post. The Mountain View Walmart sold out the SE3. Ending up I went to Fremont Walmart to get the SE3. I was able to trade-in both P7 and SE3 into one P8 pro order + watch without issue.

Did the first store you went to go as far as starting the trade in and printing the coupon and THEN canceled your trade in? The store I went to said if I traded in and they printed the coupon, they wouldn't be able to cancel the trade in and I would have to leave the phone with them. Can you confirm how far were you able to go with trade-in before saying no to it or did you buy multiple phones at multiple BBs with varying successes?
