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.

I've been waiting for the Pixel 9 Pro ever since it was first leaked because I just wanted a smaller Pixel Pro. I've been desperate to ditch my iPhone 15 Pro. My folks happen to have an iPhone 12 Pro I could've traded for this too. Feel like I just got kicked me in the balls and teabagged on. lol

I have iPhone 12 on T-Mobile with physical SIM. I preordered the Pixel 9, for the $799 credit and had to pay ~$855 with tax. I want to wait for the iPhone 16, which should be available mid September. What if I wait until mid September to pick up my preorder? I get the iPhone 16, activate it with T-Mobile, wipe my iPhone 12 and trade it in at Best Buy for the Pixel 9. Sell the Pixel 9 new unopened on EBay for hopefully $700 or more. Will Best Buy hold my preorder for a few weeks? Will I void my $799 promotional trade in value? Any ideas?

My model number doesn't match the choices, but the model number doesn't show up when the phone isn't active... just the MEID, SN and IMIE.
Will they just check one of those to verify it is an iPhone 12 Pro?
