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.

With Metro not shipping my order for 48hrs (in the past it was always within 24hrs), I might need to get iPhone 12 from ebay. I selected pick-up from Best Buy for P9. How long after launch do I have to come to the store?
eh? not sure what you are worried about- you dont think you will get the iphone 12 by next thu??

Quote from MemorableStew1728 :
The 9 probably won't be in their trade in system until a month or even later after release

But yes, you can. I've done that with Spectrum offer to go from S24 to S24 Plus. Even pocketed a nice difference

Then I sold the S24 for GC at Best Buy

Not exactly relevant. But all that's to say, yes, you can
Sorry, let me rephrase my original question.

What I really want to ask is after I receive the Pixel 9 and the $799 credit, can I go back to Best Buy within 30 days returning period and say hey I don't want this Pixel 9. Can I just exchange iPhone 16 for the same price of $799 after 16 is released?

Dont you feel stupid now?
I went into the store on Wednesday to preorder and did the trade in. Gave them my iPhone already, I have the $100 gift card, and I'll be picking the Pixel up next week.

You ordered in store and did trade-in prior to receiving pixel 9?
I went in store with my iPhone 12 and they evaluated it and gave me the full 799 credit towards the pixel 9, which I can pick up on release day. I even got the $100 gift card instantly.

My main worry is they won't ship it at all. They used to ship within 24hrs, now nothing for 48hrs. Recently, my orders were failing, probably because I got 2 phones last year to unlock after 6 months. Now, I opened with my gfs account, but same address, so maybe they are holding it due to that. But they did charge the card (although still pending).

One more question. Did you give them the iphone 12 or did you keep it and will need to bring it in once p9 arrives? I'm pretty sure you kept iphone 12 but wanted to verify. But then again, if they already gave you a GC, then you must have paid...

No, I had to give them the iPhone at the time of preorder. They validated the condition and checked the IMEI.

Exactly same situation with me. They haven't shipped my order out and it's been 3 days. Not sure what to make of it.

Any issues with ordering from Metro before this week?

When did you order exactly?

I might have to do this but I don't want to end up with an extra iPhone 12.

You can get all kinds of carriers from amazon thru 3rd party sellers and they are still bound by amazon 90 day returns. I have one from amazon and one from metro in order. If metro comes thru I plan to return the amazon phone.

Did you have the exact apple sku you put on the order? Trying to figure how closely theyd look at color/capacity/carrier before I buy a metro iphone 12.

"When we receive your trade-in item, we'll confirm that it matches the information you provided in the estimate, then we'll refund your payment method the final trade-in value within 7-10 days, including any associated tax."

So bestbuy returns the tax as well once the trade-in completes ? Any experience from last year ?
