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.

Has anyone tried this with an unlocked phone? I've got an unlocked iPhone 13 and don't know which phone to choose when checking trade in values. Currently on T-Mobile.

Based on previous deals, you should get the credit processed immediately if you trade in-store (although the credit getting pushed back to your card can potentially take a day or two). But nobody has done it for this specific deal … it's a pre-order and the phones haven't been released yet. You don't do the trade-in until you pick up the phone.

BB was charging me tax for full $799 with iPhone 12 trade in worth $799.

Am I doing something wrong?

I wanted to ask if anyone actually returned a purchase w/ a trade-in promotion. Looks like the trade-in promotion is $654 and the trade-in of the device is $145. Because I've always used iOS I'm afraid I might not like the Android system and decide to return. I am aware of the restocking fee, but I just want to know if I will get back only $145 or $799 if I returned the Google Pixel 9. I've asked the BB customer service today and they said I'll get back $799 in GC, but I've read in other places that they'll only give back $145. Just wondering if anyone had actual experience with this. Thanks.

You can choose T-Mobile or unlocked option. Doesn't matter.

No, that's how it always works. They charge tax on the full amount when originally ordered, but they adjust the price when the trade-in is accounted for. You'll likely pay some tax, but it should be a relatively small amount. (However, it may depend on what state you're in)

If I pre-order now with a trade in but decide I want to not go through with the purchase/trade, can the whole transaction be voided without any penalty/restocking fee?
As long as you don't open the phone. Otherwise $45 restocking fee
