IN-STORE PICKUP NOTE: If you pre-ordered a phone for in-store pickup, make sure that you check your online receipt before picking up your phone. If the full promo value shows up there, then your promo is locked in and that's the deal you will get. However, your promo trade bonus won't show up on your printed trade receipt. It may only mention your base trade value ($145 for an iphonen12, for example). If you're concerned, you should immediately check the BB online receipt for an updated summary that shows the new balance. As long as the "Order Total there is correct, you should be fine. Also, you may be charged for the full phone cost originally but that charge should be processed as a refund after a few days
Trade-in values are based not just on your trade, but also on what model you're buying. When trading an iPhone 12 / 13, you'll get the best trade value when buying a similar model of new Pixel. For example:
iPhone 12 / 13 Pro will get a $999 credit toward a Pixel 9 Pro (update: now $899 credit for 12 Pro)
iphone 13 Pro Max will get a
iPhone 12 Pro Max unfortunately does not receive extra bonus credit
Note: they now appear to be lowering the promotional values that were aimed at certain devices, so promotion values above are mostly dead. Se thead updates for any remaining promo specifics.

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.
Though a $100 Best Buy gift card is better for most people than a $100 Google Store credit, so that's a factor too.

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
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?
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).

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