If you're looking to buy a P9, definitely do so at Best Buy over Google store:

1. BB GC has more flexibility vs. Google Store credit
2. BB will deduct taxes off your trade = more saving
3. Trade instore = no headache vs. send in trade to Google's 3rd party
4. Easy return/replacement should there be some defects. Google CS is horrid.

Check the trade in values against the Google Store. Best Buy has a better trade in for the 6a but Google a better one for the 8.

Though a $100 Best Buy gift card is better for most people than a $100 Google Store credit, so that's a factor too.

For me in NY,
BB is taxing on the MSRP rather than the price after trade.
Is it state specific?
I'm in a similar boat as @Samosa23. I pre-ordered to pick up in store with iPhone 12 trade in, but I do not see any tax savings, so is (2) dependent on your location? Or do the tax savings somehow appear after the trade in completed?

Quick question. Could you turn in an iPhone 12 for the $799 credit and pre-order the Pixel for free (+$100 gift card) and then return the Pixel for $799 Best Buy in-store credit if you don't want the Pixel?
No … I'm fairly certain they do it in such a way that you can't do that. Basically, it's like the trade-in promotion drops the price of the phone rather than acting as a payment/credit once they process it. At least that's how it worked on a previous similar deal on the Pixel 7 from what I recall. Here's a link to a comment from that old thread (it's kind of vague, but hopefully gives an idea) …

Why doesn't everyone deduct taxes from the trade in value? This seems like common sense.

So all of you who pre-ordered, got charged the full price, and then have to bring in the phone to the store to trade it in when you pickup the pixel? Anyone know a way of doing a delayed trade in since you are already changed? I got a 13 daily, that would be trading in, and just need a few days to get everything transferred over.

Weirdly specific models. I have an iPhone 11 Pro. No luck with inflated trade in values.
Yeah; 11 Pro Max is $200-300

No. You'll get $145 value for it, then they'll deduct the $100 gift card, so you'll get $45 back.

13 pro max makes it free. Not going to do it since 13 pro max is far more superior minus the useless AI.

new to this BB trade-in. So we can actually trade-in in store? My order says:
"We'll email shipping instructions for your trade-in device when your new device is delivered. Once your device is received at our warehouse, we'll refund your payment method within 7-10 days."

At the checkout page, you'll read below "Total After Trade-In" in "Order Summary"

yes, you can. store associates quickly visual inspect your device. from past experience, locked or not doesn't matter. but not sure about replaced screen or cracked back glass.

Where did you get that? Are they new?
Right now they had Moto power 5g 2024 for free and you can get 2 of them for $75 in first monthly fees. In the SL deal post, you can also get the iphone 12 for $99 each for the 3rd and 4th line for $15 and 10 per month. The price of iphone 12 cost $300 now. I should've brought the iphone 12, oh well.

The way it was broken up for me was
$799 plus tax
Less trade in value
Left over was to pay just tax

Yeah … if you select in-store pickup, you can bring your trade with you when you pick it up and complete the process there. See #4 below …

"How Trade-In Works:
1. Add a new device to your cart.
2. Find your trade-in device using our value estimator tool, and we'll help you get the maximum value for its condition.
3. Choose whether to pick up your new item in the store or have it shipped. Whichever method you choose, we'll walk you through the steps to get your trade-in device to us.
4. If you choose store pickup, you'll bring your trade-in device to the store when your new device is ready for pickup. If you choose shipping, we'll email instructions for shipping your trade-in device to us after your new device is delivered.
5. When we receive your trade-in device, we'll confirm its condition and securely remove your data.
6. After your trade-in is complete, we'll refund your payment method in the amount of your trade-in value, including any associated tax, within 7-10 days of receiving your device."

Don't forget Google accepts Idme for an additional 10% off for medical and military people. Saved me 50 bucks on a pixel watch 3.
