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.

You're confusing trade-in value for value. I'm using my 6a daily and I'm very happy with it. Great camera and photo editing, up-to-date security, latest OS, call assistant features and clean UI. Meanwhile, I can still clear around $125 for it if I sell it.
Have the exact same phone. You're not wrong

I wouldn't trade it in for the 190 trade in value BB is giving

But buying iPhone 12 for 250 for purposes of trading in nets me new phone for 150 after 100 gift card

That's an amazing deal I couldn't pass up. And can sell 6a for about that amount (150) to have new phone for free basically

And 6a is getting a bit long in the tooth. Twice the RAM would be good to have for more apps, etc. And longevity of software is nice too

Do we have to pay the full amount of phone right now? It says that Due today amount is 799+tax. It does show that trade-in value is 799. I assume that 799 will be credited back once I trade in the device ?

I have a 7 Pro with minor crack on screen. BB is giving $400 for cracked ones, but google is giving only $260.
Im not sure if google exempts minor cracks (my previous trade in went positive) then I would receive $540, but BB gives only $480

Now Im in a dilemma which one to go with.

I see them as the only option for purchase at all. Even switching to shipping shows Wintergreen and Porcelain as "Coming Soon". Are you seeing different?

Also looking to buy a 12 for this trade. I guess amazon is the best bet in case it doesn't work out so I can return it? I place the order with BestBuy and put in a placeholder iphone 12 64gb black unlocked. I hope that if I show up with a 128gb blue phone they won't complain.

No, I wanted porcelain but had to go with obsidian because of this. I thought it was because stores only sold certain colors but it seems wintergreen and porcelain sold out entirely.

Thanks. Do you recall which one was charged a lower tax rate? Was it the one for shipping or for store pickup?
Quote from jkrnair :
what happens if I decide to return this? Will I get a store credit/gc for $799? or the trade in value $145 (for iPhone 12)
The one that I picked up in-store was charged the $2 tax while the one I had shipped was charged $9 tax. However, I'm not sure if that fact had any bearing on it or if it was just the way the credit was handled by the different stores / reps. It's kind of like one issued a credit for the additional difference while the other one processed it as another price adjustment for that extra difference. The process seemed kind of screwy in that regard.

Did you buy the 12 today? I bought Amazon renewed acceptable iphone 12 and it was $265 with taxes
Same. Not bad deal if the trade goes smoothly. Otherwise it shouldn't be too hard to return to amazon to unwind.

What's the cheapest iPhone 12 available for online purchase? I'm at about $182 with tax from Metro online with a number port. Anything cheaper out there?
I don't think so
