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.

Wonder if this affects the orders that have already been placed with iphone 12
It shouldn't. But for safety I would go to the order details page and take a screenshot of the trade-in section. It shows the promotional discount.

Deal appears dead. Trade in values have all lowered. Placed an order last night and was going to place another tonight.


$50 of rewards certificates and $200 GC on top of the phone being next to free just from trading in a 3 year old phone. I guess I'm happy.

It's a possibility, but I highly doubt it. It was an extraordinarily high promo value on the 12 and they probably set a certain number of redemptions at that highest rate before dropping it a bit.

Note that the trade value drop appears to have only affected the 12 models currently … the 13 lineup still gets the full trade value (although obviously not as attractive as the original 12 deal)

I am seeing the 13 trade values have all lowered compared to what I saw last night and what my order shows.

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
What service did you use for porting number, or did you already have a number to port? I tried VOIP.ms and it adds the 4 digit extension to the zip code so I'm unable to port out

I just checked an I'm seeing a $799 credit for iPhone 13 toward a P9 and $999 credit for iPhone 13 Pro toward a P9 Pro, which is what I saw since it started.

Anyone know how long this will be active for? They canceled my second order and cannot honor it after chat with CS. If I can get the gift card from the first one and apply it to another order after the 22nd...I won't be too upset with the $100 less trade in for the iPhone 12.

They did say to go to the store and try to get the store manager to up the trade in value back to $799. Just seems like a hassle to everyone. My luck, they will not do anything at the store level.

I received a $1099 credit for my pro max 13. Is that what you're seeing too? Maybe it's because I am trading in for a P9PXL..?

Oh yeah … I'm now seeing only a $640 credit for an iP 13 PM toward a Hazel P9 PXL and a $399 credit for an iP 13 PM toward an Obsidian P9 PXL. Man, this is starting to get complicated to keep track of, lol. I had just checked about an hour ago and saw $1099 value for 13 PM still.

Yoooo! The price for the 13 Pro Max just plummeted to $399!!!! Good thing I bought first and ask questions later!!! Edit, not sure if it is because I already have two on preorder.

"Over the maximum limit" or something like that. I guess you can only order 1.

They told me it would be no problem...then canceled it. Too late now, but they said it was because I used the same phone number (even though the first rep who helped me was the one who put the same phone number in). Oh well
