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.

Recommendations or comments anyone?
If you read other comments in this thread, or even chat with bestbuy, youll find out that they will accept it and/or make the adjustment when you present the phone in person. It wont be a problem.

Are the trade-in values only for pre-orders? Or can I trade in with the same value once they're in stock at Best Buy? If so, is it an instant credit or do they have to send it somewhere to be verified first?
Right now the promo is for preorder, with specific trades, and trade in values changed once so far. How should we know what their promo will be when the phone is actually released? Some people ask wild questions on here…

Thank you. I only got through first 32 pages on this thread. I also talked to rep and went in person at local BB but they were Non-Committal in their answers and said to ring the device in when I'm ready to pick up the phone. Thank you!

Chances are these super high trade in values will only be around for a few days and will be long gone when the phones actually release. I mean the $799 trade in value for the iPhone 12 only lasted 1-2 days.

It looks like the trade in value for an iPhone 12 is now $699 when preordering Pixel 9.

How closely should the model numbers match? I have an iPhone 12 pro with model number MGJM3LL/A but my order page for the pixel 9 pro shows the tradein device as MGLN3LL/A, though visually they are both Graphite in color with ATT and 128 GB storage

Awesome, trading in $175 iPhone 12 from Metro!

MetroPCS is a prepaid service, no contract.

When signing up for Metro it says autopay is included. Do we have to cancel this manually after we get the phones so we don't get charged more?

Not sure if this was already covered. The trade-in is for a Best Buy E-gift card only not a refund. I spoke with the online customer service.

If you don't want to keep the service you need to cancel the autopay.

You get a promo credit which is a refund to your order once you trade in the device. Then you also get a $100 best buy e-gift card. Don't get the 2 confused. The first post of the thread covers this.
