09/16 - Chino is still taking ~ 1 week to process trades. A device that was delivered on 09/09 was processed on 09/16 in the morning, there was another report of a device delivered on 09/10 being processed on 09/16 in the afternoon. Kentucky was at ~3 business days (delivered on 09/12, processed in the evening of 09/16)

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

https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/

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.

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 thetoad

any idea how long one has to send in the trade in after its delivered? I'm going to be out of the country till right after labor day. (the Pixel Pro might not be an issue for that if it comes back in stock, as itslater, but the other 2 are more problematic then)

Best Buy websites says that trade in value is guaranteed for 15 days.

Looks like something is changing.. seeing this in order details now

Sorry we could not retrieve your trade-in information due to a system error. Please try again later.

Edit: verified on web browser and don't see error there. Looks like an issue with Best Buy app only.

The configuration doesn't match either - iphone 12 Pro (T-mobile) is not actually the same model listed there.

Hmm, for me if I select a color on the first page of the wizard, my only options thereafter are the Verizon version. If I do it as I outlined, I get all the ATT options listed, and mine is one of them.

WTH? I was playing with the wizard some more, and now the trade-in value for iPhone 12 Pro has dropped to $899! The $200 BB GC is still there though.

edit: 13 Pro is still $999

They are absolutely reducing the value of the iPhone 12 Pro trade in. Sucks.

EDIT: Check attached picture.

Quote from drummr8

I purchased one, cancelled it so I could change payment info. It wouldn't let me order another. I used a different account and used my wife's name for the 2nd order and it worked. Placed another order using my daughter's name and it worked.
Then, they cancelled both orders. I'm not trying to stock up on these to resell. I just want one for my wife and one for me.

Did you use same credit card on all these orders?

As long as they keep the $200 BB GC, the deal is still pretty solid to me even with the revised $899 IP12 Pro trade-in. If not, then I would say it's probably not worth it considering how much/quickly these pixels depreciate. Personally I'm looking at about $430 for the P9 Pro, not including the $200 BB GC.

Does the $999 trade in hold if you got the order in earlier? I see the wizard showing $899 but in my e-mail I still see $999. Will they honor the old price if you submitted the order beforehand?
