09/13 - Trade in processing has slowed down, a trade in that was delivered to Chino,
CA on 09/06 wasn't processed until 09/13, representing ~5 business days from delivery to assessment. Kentucky was processing trades faster, with a ~1 business day turnaround reported on 09/12 when the delivery was made on 09/11.
09/05 - Best Buy no longer issues "trade in kits" (boxes with prepaid labels). Once your Pixel 9 Pro is delivered and the Best Buy order status shows delivered (their system lags behind UPS), you'll get an email with the next steps. You need to go into the Order Details page on BB.com, sign in and then you can print a pre-paid UPS label for the trade-in. Save a copy of the tracking number for your records and make sure it gets scanned in to the UPS system when you drop it off.
Trade ins will likely be delivered in bulk, but UPS should still show a delivered scan. IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR THE TRADE INS TO BE PROCESSED, DO NOT FREAK OUT IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN INSTANTLY. As of 09/04, they were processing trades that were delivered on 08/29 - so at least 4 business days. It WILL take time with the volume of P9P orders and trade ins.
If BB baited you into their "store" with advertised "enhanced" trade in values and then decided to reneg days later, at least, file a FTC complaint

Pixel 9's not currently working with TracFone
The trade-in value will show as the BASE VALUE, but that does not include the promotion value. You will still get the promotion value assuming you were going to get it per your order receipt, so do not worry.

Anyway as I wrote in a previous comment, the pricing on the dedicated trade in page doesn't match the one on the Pixel 9 pro page.
The Iphone 12 pro goes for 230 USD (and not 999 USD)
I also chatted with them and they told me it was a price mistake and they will readjust it later.
I believe it was a price mistake. I'm not sure it's worth the hassle of ordering an overpriced Iphone 12 pro and then having to return the Pixel and having an overpriced used Iphone 12 pro. (Though if cancelation can be done easely and you can order the phone after it's been shipped it may be worth it)
Trade-In Device:
$230.00
Trade-In Promotion:
$769.00
Trade-In Value Total:
$999.00
I am trying to time it right because I will be out of town for a while.
Same here. Will be out most of September and want to ship the trade in early.
I chose a $999 pixel 9 pro 128gb obsidian. Gave the specs of my iphone 12 pro 128gb. At checkout it was stated I'd be charged the device price, tax, and then get a $999 refund. Basically I'm only paying tax in the end and getting back $200 in a certificate.
Not once did any carrier or plan info pop up.

You're getting a lot of down votes because you're wrong. Please read the post from OP above.
Only oddity is usually promo value pricing is usually from the carrier and requires a contract. This offer appears to be for a directly unlocked and carrier free pixel 9.
