90% of morons on this thread will ruin the deal by asking dumb questions to Best Buy and possibly altering them to check trade in phone in details. Just keep your mouth shut when you go there to pick up the phone

Quote from LovelyGiraffe4883 :
Obsidian color seemed available.

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)
Is this an attempt to keep people away from the deal while you try to buy multiple?

There is no guarantee that Bestbuy will keep the same trade in value on Sep 6th
YMMV but I strongly feel that this will be the case ! Google is rushing to release Pixel 9 Pro to beat apple event on Sept 3rd or 10th . google has no option but do everything they can to maximize sales before iPhone release !

Not working for me. Pre-order button says "coming soon"
Obsidian color is the only one left available right now for the 9 pro.

With 9 pro available only for delivery, the trade in phone has to be shipped. I don't want to take the risk of a mail in trade in. I'll order P9 which is available for pickup.

Choose whether to pick up your new item in the store or have it shipped. Whichever method you choose, we'll walk you through the steps to get your trade-in device to us.

If you choose store pickup, you'll bring your trade-in device to the store when your new device is ready for pickup. If you choose shipping, we'll email instructions for shipping your trade-in device to us after your new device is delivered.

When we receive your trade-in device, we'll confirm its condition and securely remove your data.

After your trade-in is complete, we'll refund your payment method in the amount of your trade-in value, including any associated tax, within 7-10 days of receiving your device.

SKU is retailer specific. It's always going to be different, unless you bought the phone from best buy.

black is the only color? Disappointing.
You're not going to just put it in a case?

If they reject trade in and you're picking up in person, which is what you should do, you won't get the gift card either. I bought iPhone for trade in on Amazon, so no risk really

Cant pick up in person, its 9 pros are shipping only. So we will have to mail them in.
They usually send u $200 gift card via email once they ship your phone. U r stuck with $200 even if u return the phone.

That's why I ordered a regular P9 with store pickup. Trade in at store is more lenient and trade in will go thru as long as the color is matching.

Does Bestbuy accept tradeins which are locked? When added to cart, it shows Apple iPhone 12 pro - Verizon on the cart even though I didn't select Verizon as the carrier. Can I trade in a T Mobile iphone?

Don't pick color (optional) in the trade in menu, then you can select Tmobile.

Anyone else having trouble with getting any sort of confirmation email? Charge went through, got email about confirming email for GC purchases, but order doesn't appear in orders list in account nor did I get any email confirming it

Quote from willy_np :
These pricing probably came from a complex computer algorithm that BB deemed to be best for them. Maybe, they want to target iPhone 12 owners to switch over. I highly doubted that it's a price mistake.
You are somewhat correct. In the Order Details you will see a breakdown of the trade in value which is $145 for an iPhone 12 and a "trade in promotion" of $645. The trade in promotion most likely comes out of Google's pocket, not Best Buy.
