The rule of pixel is never buy on launch. Always black Friday. They consistently make launch seem like a good deal and undercut it on BF by $200. I write this on my P7, while planning an upgrade in November

FYI - for those ordering from the Google Store, I came across the promo code "supersafshort" on a Reddit thread that gives an extra $50 off. Just pulled the trigger on a P9PXL (ew that acronym) and got the discount successfully - stacked with 10% Google One discount / trade in / $200 credit.

EDIT to add that "supersaf" as of 8.20 is a valid code (original supersafshort seems expired)

Why?

I already traded in an iphone 12 (delivery from Metro today) for the Pixel 9 and awaiting the Pixel 9 delivery at the Bestbuy store.

I just traded in my iphone 14 Pro for a Pixel 9 Pro XL awaiting same delivery to the store - even trade. My logic is as follows:
  • Iphone 14 pro is 2 years old, no warranty, and I could probably NET (after fees and shipping) about $525-$550. Swappa + Paypal + shipping eats about 20% of your sales price. The best price on SellCell is $576 for a mint iphone 14 pro. ALL of these prices will go down in a month with the launch of the iphone 16 pro.
  • I want a bigger screen
  • I'm not married to Apple. I've switched between OS for 15 years, it's no biggie.
  • I'm with TMO on the grandfathered from Sprint on SWAC. TMO offered me $830 for a trade to the iphone 15 pro or pro max a couple of months ago, so I doubt TMO will offer me more after the iphone 16 launch. So with the iphone pro prices going up, I'd be stuck with a minimum of $1099 - $830 = $269/24mo = $11+ per month for the next 2 years paying off that iphone. And that's for basically the same size screen.
  • If I just kept my iphone 14 pro, I wouldn't have any payments either, but it will keep depreciating, I may be looking at a battery replacement in a year and obviously there's no warranty.
Just thinking out loud.
They let you trade in the phone before pickup day?

I would have kept the iPhone 14 for another year and gone for the Pixel 10 series or the iPhone 17, which is supposed to be a major redesign, but if you want a larger display, might as well YOLO and enjoy the Pixel XL.

No, I just committed the iphones for trade when the pixels get shipped.

There's no guarantee these ridiculously high trade in values will be offered next year for the pixel 10 and who knows what will be offered for the iphone 16 let alone the 17. That's why I pulled the trigger now. I can probably sell the pixel 9 pro XL for the same value as a mint Iphone 14 pro in a few months if I don't like it and be back in my same position, less the $200 for the Best Buy gift card. I still come out ahead.

TMO typically offers $1k for trade during iPhone launch window for last the 3 models of Pro or Pro Max version for those in the latest plans.

I had a different experience. I signed up for AI Premium trial and the 10% showed as a line item on checkout.

I have seen a lot of confusion about store credit and from what I have read the $200 promotional credit expires 1 year after it is issued. Device trade in and Google 1 credits don't expire. Once earned, they accrue like gift cards on your account.

Additionally, the credits won't be issued until 24h after your order ships. You'll get a separate email confirmation when it is available. At that point, the 1 year expiration clock will start on your promo credit.

My order won't ship until mid September, which gives me an extra month to hopefully hit the P10 pre-order window next year.

I would recommend canceling or reverting to a lower G1 sub tier only after you receive the credit confirmation email. If you ordered a P9P, it activates with a free year of the AI Premium 2TB plan ($240) and extends Gemini Advanced to all of your devices.
When did you do it because I think they fixed it. I tried it the same time I made the post and it doesn't work.

No, I've had this plan for 6 years (Former Sprint SWAC, Unlimited everything, 50GB hotspot, $30/mo). The best I've been offered is $830 for an iphone.

Trade it in, sell the pixel 9 xl, then buy a s24 ultra
That's a dumb move. At least the Pixel 9 XL has satelite sms.

I could get $225 for my 4XL or $360 for my P7. I'd be tempted to do the former to have a good backup phone, which I paid about $200 for two years ago on trade-in.

general question for all -

is this a good time to pick up the Pixel 9 pro now or will there be better offers around Black Friday in Nov?
It depends, I guess, Google learned one thing from the last time the Pixel 8 launched,a a very bad trade-in value for Pixel 7 phones for their product people won't buy Pixel phones, so last time when they launched Pixel 8 they offer very bad trade-in value for Pixel 7 phones so people just keep the phone and Pixel 8 sale tank.
So this time around they are giving really good trade-in value for their own old phones, including Pixel 8 Pro phone for 128GB storage they are offering $700.
If you wait till BF, the phone price would definitely go down, by at least 100 or 150 or maybe up to $200 of currently value, but, at the same time I don't think they will give this much trade-in value for as they are giving it now, so overall it would be same difference.

Does Best Buy care if you selected the wrong color? Like trade shows iphone 12 black 64gb but it's actually going to be blue 64gb.

Is anyone getting a 10% discount that's not part of the ID.me discount? I ordered a P9 a few days ago but decided to change the color to gray so I cancelled the OG order. Now I can't get the 10% discount back. I think I got it from purchasing my wife's P8 but I'm not certain. I reached out to Google but 3 days later, they still haven't found a solution yet.

I did exactly the same plus 42 $ credit from my last pixel 8 purchase last year. I think it is a good deal.
