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."

Hey I might be able to actually help with this one! I used to be a mobile rep at Best buy during undergrad. They only partnered with Verizon, AT&t (and sprint at the time). The unlocked phone will still work with T-Mobile (or at least should) Best buy just didn't partner with T-Mobile postpaid.

Traded in the Apple se 3rd for pixel 8 pro. The best buy rep told me that best buy processes the refund for $160 and that google processes the remainder $300.

He gave me a paper showing minus $160.

Is this correct? Does google refund the other $300.?

Thanks.
This was my same experience. Submitted the order online on the 12th, went to BB yesterday to pick up the new phone and trade in an iPhone. The process took over an hour and the employees were pretty lost.
I ended up with a piece of paper from Best Buy stating that a $200 promotion was applied, but there has been no credit applied to my payment method. The employee said the remaining $300 for the trade-in should come from Google.
Not sure if I'm going to have to end up calling Best Buy to sort things out. They took the trade in, so it is no longer in my possession. As of this time I have paid full price for a new pixel phone, and have seen no credits to my payment method, or any kind of vouchers from Best Buy.

Am I the only one who's best buy preorder for in-store pickup has been delayed? Hopefully by the time it's ready for pickup they still honor the high trade-in price on the XR. They have to honor it if it's in the email right?

Just curious, you traded in two phones at once and then they gave you gift cards to be used on a phone purchase only or was it all in one transaction?

Also were you able to get free pixel watch or buds?

Update.

My order changed in bestbuy.com. it no longer shows the apple se as a trade for 460 like before. Now it just shows that my card will be charged $617.53 as a final price and thats it. Im guessing maybe they dropped the 1082 they charged and will charge the new amount, or the 460 will show up as refund. Dont know yet.

Same experience. But when I checked my Best buy account through app, price got updated with full refund. Initial CC transaction showed full amount, after couple of days got 541 for $500 trade-in credit. So online pickup order is the easiest way to get this trade-in process ( with only one trade in )

Check Swappa for watch. Saw some around 181. Don't have to worry about the transaction since Swappa deals with PayPal transactions

So if I buy the iPhone se (Gen 3 straight talk) take it to best buy and trade it ( unopened) for a p8, BB will take it no questions asked?

I've never bought a prepaid to trade in. Figured I'd get a regular p8 for my son

Worked for me. I traded in a Straight Talk iPhone SE (said it was Verizon, which it is) and a Pixel 7 for the 8 Pro. But why would you keep the iPhone unopened? Why raise unnecessary alarm? I think you can return the iPhone (if things don't go as planned) even if it's been opened. Check Walmart return policies.

LOL trying to sell the Watch 2 locally and the market is flooded. Don't know if I should wait out the initial supply surge.
