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 need to select the most expensive phone plan for $99 price.
Thanks I'll try. It looks like their site is glitching now.

Metro $99 iPhone isn't working for me no matter what plan I select now. It says $99 and then after I enter my port info it goes up to $375! I may have to pass on this it's getting to be a pain for a phone I don't really need or want.

It really isnt worth the hassle or porting numbers and all that to get a better deal than just buying a referbished one.

The prices from the amazon sellers have gone up because they figured it out but still worth it.

Before this thread went live i posted about it on x/threads and i got a refurb for $260

Thanks voip.ms for $1.25 sounds good. The visible deal on my Citi card is $25 back for a $20 purchase but for $1.25 voip.ms is probably easier.

That's your problem. Took me less than 30 seconds to get a port number and less than 3 minutes total to place an order with Metro. LOL

How does trading in an iPhone 12 pro give you more credit than trading in an iPhone 12 pro max?

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)
No, you will only get a GC for the base trade in price, and not the promotional value of trade in. The promotional value is applied as a coupon, and you don't get any refunds for a coupon.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could trade in an iPhone 12 and end up with a $800 gc that you could use to buy anything at BB. Yeah, they are not that dumb laugh out loud

Just the trade in value of $145 in the form of GC and no way BB will issue the promotional offer back incase you returned the phone..

😊 But I think trade in at Amazon works like that. I once traded in an LG phone above it's market value and they gave the trade in amount as Amazon GC. My intention was to buy a phone there but for some reason I could not buy the phone from Amazon. So essentially sold my LG phone above it's market value in exchange for Amazon GC.
