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.

- install metropcs app on the iphone12
- in the app, select "switch device", follow instructions and it generates the esim QR code in the last step
- in the other phone ( samsung s24u in my case), scan the QR code in the sim manager, let it set up
Everything works well after the switch, call/msg/data. I removed the esim from the iphone 12 - it shows no service

Also I bought "factory unlocked" but it came "t-mobile, unlocked" will that matter on trade? It's the same color and GB, and it is "unlocked"
Hopefully we can settle whether this is regional or not.
I went into best buy yesterday after seeing the trade in values reduced online to see if there was any reason for that.
The guy at the mobile counter had all the trade in prices printed off in a stack. He noted that it showed 799 credit for the iPhone 12 against the pixel 9. he was also able to see that the online trade in was showing much less.
I'm not sure what process he did in store, but I had to trade in my iPhone 12 when I placed the pre order. He mentioned it was a 145 dollar trade in with a 645 dollar promotional credit on top.
I paid 118 dollars to get a pixel 9 256gb for pickup on release day, and received the 100 dollar gift card to use immediately.
There seems to be two ways they can process this, maybe not every employee knows.
