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.

I have an iPhone 13 that I'm looking to trade. It has both front and back glass broken and significant scratches on the body.
I'm getting $620 trade in value.
My concern is that BB will not take it at the time of pickup in the store due to too much damage.
Should I go with mail in order instead of store pickup and then mail them the trade phone?
Anyone with experience with trading damaged phone at store and what they consider fair damage condition?
Any other advice?

As long as you said it had screen damage and the condition is fair, you'll be good. I'd do it in store as you'll get the credit back much faster.

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?
With Metro you will not get the autopay discount for the first month in any case. Unless you want to use this line, you will not be able to take advantage of $5 autopay discount.

I don't think this is an AI decision. This is mainly a Google discount and Google wanted to give such a good discount on these phones. Look at the hype around this deal here. If they gave $799 for iPhone 15 PM, this would not be a great deal. There would not be many who would give their 15 PM to get a Pixel 9. Now they created a hype around this phone just before it is being introduced, they may have also switched a few from iPhone to Android etc.

The cost of saying to markets that their Pixel 9 phones flopped is much higher than a few hundred dollars they are giving to us through this deal. They need a good initial sales volume during launch of the new phone. They need it to tell the market, they need this to make these phones relavent, they need this for Youtubers to talk about them, people like you and me talk about them etc. This is just tiny cost of doing business for a $2T+ company.

It was a joke but the point is that they chose iphone 12s for the major discount. They could have chosen 11 or 13, or 14, or even all of them if they wanted to make a splash.

Will it be a good idea to trade my iPhone 13 for the pixel 9 and than wait to trade in for iPhone 16?

iPhone 12 is a 4 years old phone and in the US most people change their phones at 2 or 3 years normally. People holding on to their iPhone 12s may be the ones who are more price conscious and more likely to switch to an Android phone if given a good deal. Why not older phones? Maybe there are not as many people who are holding to their phones five years or more. Also it would be easier to take advantage of this deal without switching to Pixel with older phones. These are my guesses. But in any case I highly doubt a company like Google did not think about these details before luanching this promotion.
