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."

So I had an online order and I thought instead of dealing with the online trade in via shipment, I took the trade in phone to Best Buy store but they refused to do the trade in in store. They said I have to ship it as per the online instructions. I shipped it. Goes to Chino CA. Let's see how that goes.

Sorry for the confusion. The Deal is ON. You can't sack promotions anymore. Only 1 trade-in per purchased phone

I went back to the same store and told them firmly that they had to do this as that's what their corporate said. He gave in and it worked like a charm. Traded in SE and Pixel 6a for a Pixel 8 pro + watch. Out the door = trade ins + $270 and change. Couldn't be happier.

My store said they couldn't take my trade in because it is on straight talk / locked to straight talk. Who would I make a complaint to ? I tried to reason with the cellular manager and he said "I am Best Buy".
Call the Corporate office or go to another store.

It's very hard to stack 2 phones for trade in. Tried again today, and as soon as I mentioned pixel 8 pro trade in, the manager said that they were specifically told by Corporate to allow at most one promotional offer per trade in. She said we would scan only one coupon even if the system prints two.

So some people might have gotten lucky to stack trade in promotions, but it's very YMMV and totally outside the norm.

I did very similar deal with pixel 7 and again with pixel 8, this time they adjust tax after trade in when previously they did not... so that is actually around a 40 dollar difference I'm happy got ear buds and phone for 260 after I get my trade in refund

It's because u r late I think...before preorder dates it was smooth...i.e. till yesterday it was smoooth...now since they can also sell pixel phones as preorder period is over...they are making all new things....store I did had google representative and they did not raise concern yesterday...

Bought the last iPhone SE 3 Gen at my local Wal-Mart, cruised to the nearest Best Buy. Planned on trading in my Pixel 7 daily driver and the SE. The 1st mobile associate said I could only get one coupon, so I told him I'd think about it. Waited for another associate to help me out, and he let me coach him through the process. Was able to get the 8 Pro and watch for $128 + $150 for the SE. The watch is getting shipped. Thanks OP.

Did you have to activate service in the store?
