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 maverickslicker :
Did anyone here get lucky with two phone trade-ins in Houston? Which store?
South Loop, Sharpstown, and Memorial were a no go. My impression is that Google did on site demos for Houston BB employees and their reps told them that the Google trade in promo value is limited to one device per P8.

In general, BB allows multiple device trade-ins per phone and I think both coupons work on this deal because the SE is a tier 3 trade in value ($300 voucher) and other phones are tier 2 value ($250 voucher).

These vouchers ring up as different SKUs when scanned checkout so the BB system lists them as separate coupons (which they are) and that follows the one-time-use voucher restriction because SD'ers are using each voucher one time.

If BB wanted to honor their promo as advertised, they should universally allow multiple devices and cap the trade-in + GC value at $800. They could still honor the promo if you are lucky, but the deal hinges on whether the manager chooses to side with the customer or their corporate overlords.

The terms do give them the ability to refuse a trade-in for whatever reason they deem applicable, and 'Google said no' is that reason despite the system accepting the deal and the shopper following all the BB rules on trade-ins.

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.
Yea weird. Now it shows quicker delivery than yesterday when I ordered.

I'm surprised to see that BB requires a fingerprint for trade-in in addition to the ID.
How many folks had to do that?
I find it surprising considering one can do trade-in by mail .

If I do refund after purchase. Can I get 760$ as a gift card ? I am thinking to get rid of my old iphone xs. I want to buy it and then return it after couple of days.
My thought is the Google promo amount is not refunded. That would be an insane way to sell old phones for big buxx. Since it's taken right off the top it's not a value that's applied towards the purchase price. So for P8 $699-$300=$399 for example, it's basically setting it to a new lower price and that's the highest amount you would get back/apply towards a re-purchase if needed. Would love to know if someone goes through this process and how it goes, but seems risky since you can't get that trade-in back if they shipped it.

You have to do it twice in-store since you're trading in two devices.

Their rationale is that in case you stole the phone, they know who to send the authorities to. I imagine lots of people steal phones and try to sell them to Best Buy for a quick buck.

I do think its a little overboard but oh well.

That sucks. What state are you in? Sending the same phone by mail requires no id nor fingerprint. I wonder if this is an optional thing or not as it looks like a big invasion of privacy considering BB clearly state on their website they can sell your private data.

Some city/state law does require fingerprint even for trade in at gamestop. When you mail it in, state/city law no longer apply.

Can I still get 10% off even though the phone was ordered last week but I haven't picked it up yet?

Did it take 10% off on the sale price or after the trade-in price?
