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.

Regardless, the Pixel 9 won't suddenly be as snappy as Samsung or OnePlus, forget about even comparing it to an iPhone which is the leader in speed.
Maybe things will change with Pixel 10 and TSMC based processor. But then you can't count on Google to get things right the first time. Everyone thought the Pixel 6 with a new Tensor would be a game changer. It was actually quite the opposite.
I have always loved Nexus and Pixel phones. It used to be that Google were new to hardware. But now Google has been doing phones for more than a decade. If it hasn't caught up to Samsung and Apple by now , it is safe to say, it never will.
This is clearly reflected in the precipitous drop in Pixel values with time.
However, this site [everymac.com] shows MGLN3LL/A it as "Unlocked and sim free",and same with this site [techwalls.com] shows it as "United States – Unlocked SIM-free from Apple Store"
It would be much less risky if I knew as long as I had *any* iPhone Pro 128GB, I'll get the credit.
"iPhone 14 trade in value is $799 for Pixel 9, But trade in value is only $590 for Pixel 9 Pro". The same iPhone 14 gets $799 trade-in value when applying toward a plain Pixel 9 which costs $799, but gets only $590 when applying toward a Pixel 9 Pro which costs $999.

If they don't accept my trade-in, I'm returning the Pixel.
Although, I do agree, it may not be a safe assumption 😄
