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.

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?
Last year I traded Pixel 7 for Pixel 8, the lady on the counter turned the on phone and checked the imeie number, looked at the back and accepted the trade in.

She really didn't inspect the phone any further. But I assume this will vary from person to person.

Why doesn't everyone deduct taxes from the trade in value? This seems like common sense.
Apple also deducts taxes off trade-ins through them as well. Not sure why this isn't a thin everywhere.

Did you Metro order ship? I ordered last night, still nothing. Didn't even receive order confirmation email (which is common with Metro) but the order still shows up on their end.
Yea it shipped. I got UPS tracking last night.

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
It will lose 25% right after you walk out of BestBuy on August 22nd and that's perfectly fine with me. I'm buying 2 Pixel 9s and I will use the money to upgrade to iphone pro max 16 with satelite sms messaging by selling both pixel phones and both BestBuy gift cards.

I ordered pixel 9 with iPhone 12 trade in valued at $799. But now it's showing me $699. How does this work out when I go to the store to pick up the new phone and trade in iPhone 12? Will they honor previously quote value or new estimate?

as long as your order shows this then you're good.

They will honor the previously quote value up to 15 days, you need to get your phone within 15 days

How to trade in your device
Hold on to your trade-in device until your new device is delivered to you.
Watch for our delivery confirmation email, which will include next steps for shipping your trade-in device.
Perform a factory reset and disable the Find My feature or go to How to Prepare My Device For Trade-In.
Remove any account and password locks from your device before mailing it in. This will allow us to gain access and ensure your personal data is securely removed. We cannot process your trade-in device if your Apple lock is active.
When the trade-in is complete, we'll refund your payment method in the amount of your trade-in value, including any associated tax.


Per the above information, the trade-in iPhone should be shipped after we receive the Google Pixel phone.

Still nothing on my end, ordered Wednesday 6pm Pacific. Order status showing as "Order received" with shipping date of Wednesdays (2 days ago), which is weird.

I wonder if I should look at alternate source of iPhone 12.
