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.

Quote from JayM3585 :
If you mean Lock to a carrier like T-Mobile or Verizon. Yes when you trade in your device, you pick your carrier, but as the sale has been going on for a while now the trade-in value is not what they originally posted. Too many people have traded already.
From what I see, all of these Pixel 9 phones say "unlocked" … so I don't think it matters what carrier is selected. I don't think they should lock to a carrier at all unless I'm missing something.

Also, I don't believe that any trade-in values have changed. They all seem to be the same as they were originally from what I've seen. However, it can get confusing since the trade value for one phone can change depending on which Pixel you're buying. But for some reason, the 12 Pro Max was never given the extra-high trade value like the regular 12 and 12 Pro.

Don't forget CB site, and an additional $35 BB rewards if you use the BB credit card.

gets trickier when you consider the 10% play store discount and 10% google one cashback, so you get about $300 store credit.

Can we use the BB gift card to pay for taxes?
You should be able to. Change your method of payment to that during checkout.

I picked up a 12 on ebay. I'm hoping BestBuy doesn't cancel my order or something else goes wrong and I end up stuck with a 12 for no reason.
or you can use it Wink

there's a reason why the iphones retain such high value, and it's not because people are "fanboys".....

I just traded my 12 in last week for a pixel 8. Ended up paying 60 bucks. Of course they would do this.......

how is best buy with returns on unopened pixels? I just made the order, but I'm hesitant to change from iphone to pixel given that i have a bunch of apple products (macbooks, ipad, airpod, icloud storage, etc...). looks like the pixel won't arrive for a few weeks so gives me more time to decide and i can return the pixel if i end up changing my mind
Just make sure that you make the final decision before you trade your iPhone. Because let's say you trade your iPhone in for the "free" Pixel … due to the weird way the trade-in promo works, you'll lose the "promotional" part of the trade-in value and only get a refund / credit of $149 if you return it later ($149 value is assuming an iPhone 12). And the $100 bonus gift card would also be cancelled (or adjusted in your credit if already used).

Wow. The 9 pro xl is only taxes after trading in my iPhone 13 Pro Max. The only thing I'm worried about is the battery life. Android phones have a joke of battery compared to iPhone. But the iPhone camera is such trash compared to the android phones I had. I didn't think I'd go back to android after switching from galaxy ultra 22 to iPhone pro max 13, but this is very tempting.

Seems dead - trade values for 12 pro and 12 pro max is around 50% of the cost of the Pixel.

No, it's still live. Trading an iPhone 12 Pro should get you a Pixel 9 Pro for free. Or trading an iPhone 12 should get you a Pixel 9 for free. But the 12 Pro Max never had the high trade value for some reason.

You have to trade a 13pro max for the 9 pro XL. You get $1099 off.
