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

Is in store trade-in and pickup better than shipping?

Jumped on the deal yesterday (green), Tuesday 13AUG24. Had an iPhone 12 that I was waiting to use after an old Samsung came to end of support latter this year, to get me to around 2028.This stretches it further. No brainer. I like both Android and Apple. After the $799 purchase/trade in and about $50 in taxes, + $100 BB gift card, I come out around BB paying me $50 for a phone that should be supported to around 2031. Great deal. Have an extra iPhone 12 that is paid off/free from carrier in September. I am hoping for another great deal on a trade in from Apple or Samsung for this. By the way, my phones are babied, like new. Always use a screen protector and a heavy-duty case.

They credit your original form of payment. You actually get more than the trade in value credited as they refund the taxes on the trade in value also.
Last year I traded in a phone for $245 refund, they did not refund the tax. Has the rule changed?

You know ... you guys were very convincing but it's mostly because :
The Pixel 9 pro xl arrives the same day the Iphone I ordered off of ebay comes, making it simple to return both if there is any issue for the trade in.
So even if it doesn't go through the hassle and risk of losing money or ending up with a locked phone isn't that high (I also do not live in the US, so the timing must be somewhat good which is the case with the pxiel 9 pro xl).

But clearly I'm thankful to the poster if this goes through.

It depends on the state. From what I've read, CA and some other states don't refund the tax on the trade-in value. I'm in KS, traded in 4 iphones toward Pixel 8's in the last several weeks and they refunded the tax on the trade-in value.

Quote from ResidentEvil :
The problem is the 3 years (or 2.5 in some cases) IMO, Most phones don't last 2 years, let alone 3.

Got both my pixels in November of 2022 (7 and 7 pro) and I've already had to replace the screen once on the 7pro, back camera glass twice on the 7, and now the screen is broken again on the 7pro, and the rear camera is all cloudy on the 7. I'm "stuck" with them through Verizon on a similar deal through next year, and because of that, I cannot even take advantage of anything Verizon has to offer, also, there are activation fees.

This will be my new method moving forward, buy whatever is the best trade-in value, buy new phones with trade, sell old phones, come out close to net0 without any terms. It's more work, but offers way more flexibility in terms of both phones and providers.
Completely agree with you 💯. However I can't help but wonder either 1. Your pixel 7s were defective 2. Youre not really human, maybe a bull? 3. Work on a construction site 4. Got kids? Tell them it's not a bouncy ball. 5. Have anger issues

Whichever category, how about a case? (Just having fun)

I got my 7 mid-2023 and it's been stellar. Basic case and glass protectors on the screen and camera panel. It took a dive (from my bike) onto the road at 20 mph and was no worse for wear. Not sure how people are damaging these phones, but maybe the earlier stock was defective

if I ordered online shipping the device to home, can i go store for trade in ? seems like right now it says keep device until new device comes in and shipping for trade in will be provided.
No, below are instructions on Best Buy:

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.

I am trying to order a 2nd P9 Pro XL and getting message - "This item has a quantity limit that you reached with previous orders."

Does anyone able to order more than one P9 Pro XL?

So the benefit with shipping is that you get more time?
Bestbuy only keeps the device 5 days so if you receive a broken Iphone you don't really have the time to reorder one in time for trade-in.

The only bad thing about P8 was a shitty modem that caused bad signal. New modem on P9 this year so hopefully better signal lol

I was too late to pull the trigger on this. Sucks.

I do think that Best Buy is going to restock the Pixels quickly... if they'll take the iPhone 12 Pro's as a trade in with a $999 value, is a very different question.

Good luck to all that got in on this!

There's no store pickup option on my order for the Pixel 9 Pro w/ iPhone 12 Pro trade-in, and the trade-in section says to mail it to them once the Pixel arrives. Can I instead just go to the store after the Pixel arrives and trade in my iPhone there in person? I'm not too trusting of these mail-in trade-in services - they can reject for any reason.
