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.

This is the deal I am doing:
Bought S23+ off Amazon for $409, Bought iPhone 12 off Amazon for $205.
Trade in S23+ on Pixel 9 Pro XL, pay $100, get $200 GC
Trade in iPhone12, pay $0, get $100 GC
Plan to sell my old broken pixel 7 and pixel 7 pro.
$154 in tax though, hopefully that comes down at pickup with the trade-in.
For me, when shipping, tax is $49, for in store pickup, tax is $69. So saves $20. But if I decide to change my mind, just don't go and pickup..

I.e. use the 999$ pixel 9 to trade back in for iphone 15 pro and pay the difference
im seeing iphone 12 pro for 350ish on ebay
so only 350-200 Best buy gc = roughly 150 out of pocket for the pixel
