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
No need to wonder because they won't. This isn't a new deal for Best Buy. They did something similar for the pixel 7 and I just got done trading in 4 iPhone 11's for pixel 8's in the last few weeks. Essentially the same deal minus the gift card. Deals have limits obviously and the way everyone on SD was hitting this one all but guarantees that Best Buy has collected all the iPhone 12's that Google wanted them to.

Plus customer service has already been spoken to if you read the earlier posts on this thread.

I don't know why so many people speculate and propose questions like this. It's almost like you are trying to manifest the deal getting ruined for everyone. Just grab your ball and leave kid. It's abundantly clear A. You haven't read any of the thread and You don't have any idea what's going on or Are probably just salty about missing out on a superb deal

Does anyone know what the Best Buy staff checks during a trade-in when picking up a new phone at the store? Do they only verify the color, size, cosmetic condition, and factory reset, or is there anything else they check?

you guys are nuts. This deal is great if you have locked iPhone 12 collecting dust. Buying used phone to trade it in is so much hassle...
This is just google phone, that will loose almost all value in a year
That's why you buy a few and flip all but one genius

Best buy gave me $800 trade in for iPhone 13.
Interesting, the site offered me $530 for my iPhone 13 Pro. No damage or issues with the phone. Oh well.

Cashback portal site did track for me for additional 4 percent off total purchase price. In the past, it's carried through too. So that's an extra 30 bucks

And although the iPhone 12 deal is done and over with, there are still iPhone 13s you can snag for 300ish on ebay that should make the cut. Still a great deal if you're in the market for a new phone

I did that, but the phone price jumped to $299 instead of $99. Do you know why? I was checking with my google fi numebr
Google Fi uses Tmobile, you have to use phone number that's not tmobile or tmobile mnvo

So I saw the price of the iPhone 12 trade in dropped from $799 to $699. When I was playing with it earlier, it was giving me $799 trade in for an unlocked iPhone 12 and $699 trade in for a carrier locked iPhone 12. Now, they are both at $699. Can anyone confirm this was the case earlier or did I catch it as they were changing the prices?

Still worth it to trade iPhone 12's for $699.

You may very well have caught it at the price changeover. However, there are also some very specific fluctuations that do seem a bit odd. When I was checking something earlier in regard to previous replies, I looked and saw that there was only a $399 credit for an iP 13 PM toward an Obsidian P9 PXL. I almost didn't believe the price could have dropped that much, so I then went to a completely different phone and checked the trade value for an iP 13 PM toward a Hazel P9 PXL and saw that it was $640. That really made me wonder so I then went back and double-checked both of them but got the same results. Then a while later, both were showing only a $399 trade value for the iP 13 PM.

Same question here.
I'm trading in an unlocked blue iPhone 12, but I just noticed that on my order page, I see the model# they have on the order page is MGF73LL/A.
EEK! The model number is different.
Do they check the model number?
