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."

Picked up yesterday from online order a few days ago. Traded in Iphone XR at the store and my order shows a total $350. Today the pending charge of $750 posted on my credit card. So now I have to wait for the refund after the trade-in completes?

I prefer in store, this way you can stay the phone was unlocked at the POS terminal if they try to back charge you. With online it's always a risk.

Quote from LavenderRiver3505 :
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?
Hello; so one of the stores that I went to told me this very thing... that if I started the trade in process, I would have to 'surrender' my phone indefinitely whether the coupon worked or not. I didn't want to risk it so I ended up going to another store.


Honestly, with something like this (what this thread is trying to do), you really have to go a Best Buy location where an employee actually KNOWS how to do this trick. It isn't something they're going to stumble upon accidentally. More often than not, if they're unsure about the circumstance, they're simply going to default to what they think to be the acceptable approach which is "1 phone trade in + promotion per Pixel device."

Knowing how to print 2 coupons and have 2 gift cards seems to be an acquired skill amongst some rare employees who are sorta doing this "trick" backwards to bypass some system issue. They might give you some pushback and may even say "coupon says use once." Honestly figure out how much you want to push before giving up and moving on to the next location. If they start using words like "you're double dipping" it might be best to move on, because now its become a moral issue for them so its almost like they're saying "it may work on the system but we're not supposed to do it...", that's basically someone that is going to waste your time.

Hope that makes sense.

I would tell them that you want to get the trade in value + promotion discount for both your phones and apply them to the purchase of your Pixel device. If they're unsure about that, tell them you called corporate and you spoke to someone about it, and then list of the steps mentioned in the Wiki. Thats a very viable approach, just say "I called corporate and they said I have to do x y z, here I wrote it down when I was talking to them."

Make sure to mention that the coupon bar code is different from an Android device and iOS device so "you were told specifically by corporate that it would stack with the purchase of a Pixel 8."

Hope that helps!

You are lucky , they told me trade in has done and they can't reverse it, and they only can use one coupon and tear up the paper, I paid 380 around for trade in my 11 and pixel 7

Even if you went all the way to the end of the trade-in/purchase process to the final price, you can back out and have the trade-in reversed. Not only that, they keep the phone in-store for 48 hours before sending it out. As long as it's still in the store you can "return" the pre-order and get your phone back. Not saying it won't be annoying and they may give you shit but it's possible.

Did you order yesterday?! mine says it's not shipping till November 8th
Yeah, I ordered a black 512gb and a Porcelain 256gb. Neither was available in store.

Looking now if I ordered today 512gb would take 7 days and porcelain would be 3 days. The watches will both be arriving Tuesday.

I suppose there may be a combination of same brand/mobile OS device that spits out different promo code SKU, but so far it seems the successes are 1x iPhone and 1x Android.
