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.

which state ? Any one from texas here to confirm on the tax charged ?
Picked my 9 up today in Texas. They honored the deal. The emailed receipt shows a total after-tax of $108.25 - which is only because I got a 256GB model for $100 more. I will be watching for the actual charges but everything looks great, and they already emailed me the GC.

I didn't get a pick up email notification yet but when I log in, I see that it's available for pick up. Does anyone know if I can go in without notification from best buy ?

Same. I'm happy they are just charging tax after the trade in value.

Now we have to wait for the CC to be adjusted which I'm pretty confident about.

Alright, where are all the reports. Did BB give any problems about mismatched model, carrier, minor scratches, etc?

Just picked up my pixel 9 today looking at my credit card transaction I realized that Best Buy never charged my card prior to pick up therefore no refund is needed. I got the phone completely free. Not sure if this is a single error or anyone else have similar situation because it was clearly stated on the app that full amount will be charged until pick up. But my card was never charged.

just got back from bestbuy for pixel 9. went pretty smooth. scanned my order when i got there and associate went to go pull it. handed him the trade in and did a quick inspect and punched some numbers in the computer. at first he told me i would get back 145 dollars for the trade in. asked about the rest of the $654 promo and had to rescan to see it. make sure to point that out. after confirming that i handed him my id and he printed the invoice. the invoice only shows the 145 trade in credit not the 654. when i asked him about it he said it should show on the statement and he mentioned the gift card will be sent email. i went on best buy chat and had them confirm the whole trade in/promo and saved the chat. also checked my bank account and it appears the $800+ hold that best buy had is now gone. i am confident it went through. pixel 9 is nice btw. way more premium than my 6a. resembles an iphone lol

Odd for my bank it didn't even show that Best Buy had a hold. It seems Best Buy never even charged my card

No problem picking up my 8/14 preorder -- they processed the pickup and trade in together and came out to $0 no tax

$100 BB eGC email came right away -- online order showed $145 - $145 trade = $0 afterwards

Traded in a locked Metro iP12 for the base Pixel 9 -- selected iPhone 12 5G 64GB Black T-Mobile MGH63LL/A model when preordering

Exactly the same story for me .. successful trade in and charge on my account .
Only catch is my store had no idea whether I will get 799 or 145 back .. but PayPal and updates order invoice reflected it in my account .. Case closed 👍🏻
